2 things...

1. If you don't qualify that you only want the article to be displayed on the full article page, you'll violate Google's terms of only displaying 3 ad blocks on a page. The same template that is used for the full article page is used for the module index.

Here's the code I'm using on one of my sites.

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="item">
<tr>
    <td>
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="98%">
        <tr>
            <td class="itemHead"><span class="itemTitle"><{$story.title}></span></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="itemInfo"><{if $story.files_attached}><{$story.attached_link}>&nbsp;<{/if}><{if $story.poster != ''}><span class="itemPoster"><{$lang_postedby}> <{$story.poster}></span><{/if}> <span class="itemPostDate"><{$lang_on}> <{$story.posttime}></span> (<span class="itemStats"><{$story.hits}> <{$lang_reads}></span>) <{$news_by_the_same_author_link}></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>[b]<{if $SCRIPT_NAME != '/modules/news/index.php'}><div class="gads"><!--My Adsense Code--></div><{/if}>[/b]<div class="itemBody"><{$story.imglink}><p class="itemText"><{$story.text}></p></div></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td class="itemFoot"><span class="itemAdminLink"><{$story.adminlink}></span><{if $rates}><b><{$lang_ratingc}></b> <{$story.rating}> (<{$story.votes}>) - <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/ratenews.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>" rel="nofollow"><{$lang_ratethisnews}></a> - <{/if}><span class="itemPermaLink"><{$story.morelink}></span></td>
        </tr>
        </table>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

Instead of putting the CSS inline, I did class="gads" and created the .gads definition in my style.css file.

2. If you're just adding Adsense to your site, it may take a day or two even for the public service ads to show up.

HTH.

Sounds like the template set you are editing is not set as the default. Either that, or you need to clear the contents of the templates_c/ directory.

Thanks for the reply.

Problem is, the AdSense code does not even appear in the source code of the page.

Any changes I made to the news_item.html isn't included in the news section.
