vB Google Adsense for Search plus Integration
Mod Version: 1.4, by davidw (Coder) davidw is offline
Developer Last Online: Apr 2016 I like it Show Printable Version Email this Page

This modification is in the archives.
vB Version: 3.6.8 Rating: (5 votes - 4.80 average) Installs: 58
Released: 14 Aug 2007 Last Update: 10 Nov 2007 Downloads: 695
Not Supported Uses Plugins Template Edits Additional Files  

Since the hooks came out in the navigation bar, I had been working on a new release as seen in my previous modification. I have recently pushed myself to finish this hack but I have plans for addons to it .

This is under the assumption you have your key information:
1) Your pub
(your pub ID/property information - usually starts with pub- and then some numbers)
2) Your cof usually found in your adsense code here:

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

This example is what I am using and what a lot of others are using:

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

Step 1:
Upload searchresults.php to your site's root.
Example: http://www.yoursite.com/searchresults.php

Step 2:
Install the product
Go to Admincp => Plugins & Products => Manage Products => [Add/Import Product] => Browse for product-davidw_vb_google_search.xml => Import

Step 3:
Configure your Admincp options
Go to Admincp => vBullitin Options => vBulletin Options => Find vB Google Search (Adsense) then click [Edit Settings]
Edit your Pub ID, Cof, and your desired width of the iframe for your results. I use 800 in the screenshot, but you can change this based on your needs.

Step 4:
If you are using Version 1.2 1.3, or higher you must edit (or at least check) the searchresults.php to ensure it is correct for your site.

vBAdvanced Optional
Step 5:
Go to Admincp => vBA CMPS => Default Settings => Under Options Portal Output Global Variables
Add (or make sure they are present) these varaiables:
template_hook
google_navadsearch
google_label_site
google_label_web
homeurl

Step 6:
Click on Edit Modules. Click on Search Forums (module).
Under Module Tools, find Select Action (very top) and choose Copy.

In your new (copy) of the Search Forums Module, change the name of your module to whatever you want (I chose "Search").
Under the Template Module Options heading, edit the adv_portal_ area.
Change it from search to search_google

Next,
Under Module Shell Template Options, in the Form Code box,
Change

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

To

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

Make sure this URL is the correct full path to your searchresults.php file.


LEGACY VERSION - Applies to vb_google_legacy_1_2.zip vb_google_legacy_1_3.zip(or higher) only
- Very similar to Version 1.2 1.3 and higher except instead of using a hook this will work for previous 3.6 versions (should work with any 3.6 version).
-- -- Admincp => Styles & Templates => Style Manager => Edit Templates (on your style) => Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates => navbar => find

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

Add, under $google_navadsearch
-- Admincp => Styles & Templates => Style Manager => Edit Templates (on your style) => Search Templates => search_forums => under $navbar, add $google_siteadsearch

Also, you must ensure that $google_navadsearch does not go in between <form> tags. If your navbar is a modified old-style template, you will have an extended <form> section. Make changes similar to this...
change this:

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

to

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

and change

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

to

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


Changelog
Version 1.4
- Added support for vBAdvanced module (rather than going to my hack on vBAdvanced.com)

Version 1.3
- Added missing template cache plugins from XML file (had the template cache in the file, just lost it along the way in the XML).

Version 1.2
- Allows you to put your searchresults.php file in any directory, but you must edit the path in the searchresults.php file to the location of searchresults.php.
- Removed unnecessary xml information.
- Fixed a small bug in the product
- Added search.php functionality
-- Admincp => Styles & Templates => Style Manager => Edit Templates (on your style) => Search Templates => search_forums => under $navbar, add $google_siteadsearch
- Set default values so that it is easier to configure. You must still edit these values.

Version 1.1
- Change default "site" to your site's name or put a link to a small logo there.
- Change default "web" to "Google" or put their logo in there.

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

This is their logo if you don't have it.
- Only added the ability to allow you to easily add your own logos or change the text from the admincp.

Version 1.0
- Original

If it's a 'DAVIDW' I'll install it!
Can you add the Google Logo or the option for Own logo?

I have added an optional new 1.1 version that allows anyone to change the choices by the radio buttons to logos (images) if they so desire - and I have supplied the link to the default logo above.

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

in your navbar, if you don't - this will not work.

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

and look a couple rows above:


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

Your navbar may differ a little - this is where the hook resides:

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

If you do not have that hook in there, you must edit your navbar and place that hook in there to use this modification. If you still can't get this version to work, here is a manual but limited version - http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=128274
