No problem!

I use to do things like that too. Time and bad experiences have taught me better.

RE: Updating the module didn't update the templates. If they are cached, you might get that result.

Hi JMorris,

I have another question if you don't mind.

I tried your suggestion below but my AdSense code is still being generated on the news/index.php page

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 $SCRIPT_NAME != '/modules/news/index.php'}><div class="gads">div><{/if}>[/b]<div class="itemBody"><{$story.imglink}><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.

Turn on SMARTY Debug and browse to your News module index. Then look in your SMARTY Debug output for {$SCRIPT_NAME}. Whatever the value is in the Debug is what you need to put in your template. Since your site is in a sub-directory, the path may be different.

I took that code from a site that is in the root of the domain, not a sub-directory.

HTH.
