[MyBB] AdSense Plugin

**HcoJustin** · 08-07-2010, 12:05 PM

Well sadly MyBB 1.6 doesn't have any decent ad plugins (that I could find), so I decided to write my own. It is no where near complete, but it will display it just below the header on every page except the AdminCP. I'll work on allowing different types of ads, like right after the first post of a thread, or inside the first post of a thread, etc.

Code:

<?php
/**
 * Ads 1.0
 * Copyright © 2010 Justin Conner ([email protected])
 * Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns.
 */
 
if(!defined("IN_MYBB")) {
	die("You cannot access this file directly, try visiting the main site.");
}

$plugins->add_hook("pre_output_page", "display");

function display($page) {
	global $mybb;
	
	if($mybb->settings['enabled_ads'] == 1) {
		$page = str_replace("<div id=\"content\">", "<div id=\"content\">".$mybb->settings['ad_code']." ", $page);
	}
	
	return $page;
}

function ads_info() {
	return array(
		"name" => "ads",
		"description" => "Displays ads, like Google AdSense, on your forums",
		"website" => "",
		"author" => "Justin Conner",
		"authorsite" => "",
		"version" => "1.0",
		"guid" => "",
		"combatibility" => "*"
	);
}

function ads_activate() {
	global $db;
	
	$ads_group = array(
		'gid' => 'NULL',
		'name' => 'ads',
		'title' => 'Ads',
		'description' => 'Settings for the Ads plugin',
		'disporder' => '1',
		'isdefault' => 'no'
	);
	$db->insert_query('settinggroups', $ads_group);
	$gid = $db->insert_id();
	
	$ads_enable_setting = array(
		'sid' => 'NULL',
		'name' => 'enabled_ads',
		'title' => 'Enable Ads Plugin',
		'description' => 'If yes, your ads will be displayed on your site',
		'optionscode' => 'yesno',
		'value' => '1',
		'disporder' => 1,
		'gid' => intval($gid)
	);
	$db->insert_query('settings', $ads_enable_setting);
	
	$ads_adcode_setting = array(
		'sid' => 'NULL',
		'name' => 'ad_code',
		'title' => 'Ad Code',
		'description' => 'Code to display your add',
		'optionscode' => 'textarea',
		'value' => '',
		'disporder' => 2,
		'gid' => intval($gid)
	);
	$db->insert_query('settings', $ads_adcode_setting);
	rebuild_settings();
}

function ads_deactivate() {
	global $db;
	
	$db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."settings WHERE name IN ('enabled_ads')");
	$db->query("DELETE FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."settinggroups WHERE name='ads'");
	rebuild_settings();
}
?>

AdminCP Settings:

Proof it works:

Nice script!

Actually there is one for 1.4: MyBB - Mods - Adsense Ads. on Forumdisplay

Only got to search: 14*

Change to: 16*

Then it works for 1.6 just fine.

But I guess this is alright you could simple edit the header in the template so this isn't really a hard mod to make anyone could of made it by now. But good job I guess.

I personally already upgraded like about 19 1.4 mods to 1.6 and they work just fine.

Make sure you stay away from using the <center> tag in your plugins or modifications and such. Its a part of the guidelines when im writting SMF mods, its because since the <center> tag is deprecated, forum owners who want to keep their site W3C valid (and should) would probably be discouraged to find invalid markup in their website.

Anyways, nice plugin, at one time I was thinking of writting my own MyBB plugins too.

I know how to convert a plugin, but I didn't feel like searching for a 1.4 plugin, and i know it's extremely easy to convert.

Okay I'll remove the center tags then.

Yea, instead just use CSS to center it.

The text-align: center; attribute should do the trick.

I'm almost positive myBB has a header template which you can edit can just insert your adsense code.

Not that I could find, and either way, this is much better because I can allow other options through the settings page, and do all kinds of stuff without just slapping some AdSense code in a header
