AdSense Integration above similar threads

This mod adds a Google Adsense leaderboard above active users and similar threads below each thread.

It is blended to look like the other moduls below the thread without violating google adsense TOS.

Make sure you use the same colors you use on your forum to optimize blending!

Installation instructions

In the template SHOWTHREAD find:

<div id="thread_info" class="thread_info">

and add below:

<h4 class="threadinfohead"><span class="optiontitle">Advertising</span></h4>
<div id="thread_onlineusers" class="thread_info_block">
  <div class="inner_block">
    <h5>Advertising</h5>
    <div>
      <div class="ads_lb_container_forumdisplay">
        <div class="ads_lb">
          <!- Your Google Adsense Code for a 728x90px leaderboard -->
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

add the following to the template CSS >> additional.css

.ads_lb_container_forumdisplay {
  background: #FFFFFF;
  width:100%;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;

Notes

Make sure to check and adapt especially domain to fit your forum.

If you only want this Advertising shown to guests like I do wrap the above code in this condition:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
</vb:if>

Of course feedback is welcome and if you have suggestions to further improve CTR please let me know!

Kind regards
