Hello,

I have advertisements on my VB that only certain usergroups can see. Is there a code out there that I can use which will put text behind the ads, so when a certain usergroup has the ability to not see the ads they see the message instead? Much thanks!

If you're using <if> conditionals to show ads you can use <else> to show alternate data to people not seeing the ads...

<if condition == "your condition">
AD HTML
<else />
Alternate Info
</if>

Hi, thanks for the message!

Right now I am using the code "$google_adsense_for_search" to list the ad via product. where would I put that into the condition?

I just thought of something... I heard hiding text is a bad idea (google doesn't like it) or is that pertaining to something else?

You'd put in like this:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Also this is fine, you need to make sure the content you show to google is the same you show to any other visitor- this doesn't change that. You can have different content for registered users, and most people do.

Hello again, thank you for your help. Sorry I'm rather new at this but what do I put into "your condition"? I tried to leave it how it is but it did not work.

Also when I copied that code I got this message

The conditional on line 27 appears to be missing its beginning tag (<if>). This may cause unexpected behavior.

Sorry I thought you knew what condition you wanted already... you need something like this:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

That will show the ad to usergroups 5, 6, and 7 and show "Alternate Info" to everyone else.

Thanks a lot! Works beautifully
