21.11.1. Google AdSense in the News module

Wouldn't it be nice to have your Google AdSense placed just right to a news article? The solution we will present here, taken from Google AdSense in PHP-Nuke, can be used as a starting point for introducing AdSense (and other similar advertisement schemes) in modules other than the News module.

In file modules/News/article.php, look for the following code:

$boxtitle = ""._RELATED."";
$boxstuff = "<font class="content">";
$sql = "select name, url from ".$prefix."_related where tid=$topic";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
$name = $row[name];
$url = $row[url];
$boxstuff .= "<strong><big>&middot;</big></strong>&nbsp;<a href="$url"
target="new">$name</a><br>n";
}

just before that, add the following:

echo "<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
width="160"><tr><td>n"
."<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="160">n"
."</table>n"
."<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
width="100%">n"
."<tr><td align="center">n"
."<font class="title" size="1"><b>Related Websites</b></font>n"
."</td></tr>n"
."<tr>n"
."<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><font size="1">";
?>
<center>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "your client-number";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "336699";
google_color_url = "000000";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</center>
<?php
echo "</td>n"
."</tr>n"
."</table></td></tr></table>n"
."<br>nnn";

In the above code, you can recognize the Google AdSense Javascript, also used in Section 20.7 to show AdSense in a PHP-Nuke block, in the middle of a table layout construction.

Important Don't forget:
 

Add your Google client number in the AdSense script.
