XF 2.2 Hiding Google AdSense Banners from Certain Member Groups

[jar546]

First, I did not set up this forum, I just organized and have been running it for the past 15 years. Next I use Google AdSense to place banners on my Xenforo forum to help generate revenue and offset my costs. I have searched templates in the ACP for the word Google and other than analytics, I am coming up empty. I do have Ads Manager 2 and cannot find anything when I search there either. I have ZERO clue where my AdSense code is located, therefore I cannot make adjustments to it other than in my Google AdSense account.

I realize that if Ads Manager 2 is where I make this adjustment they I will have to repost this in that part of this forum but I have no clue which is why I am posting it here. I now have CPanel to make my life easier with my AWS setup so I can find what I need and edit it much easier. I don't know if I can do what I want.

There is one group that is a paying group on my site that as a benefit, I don't want them to see the Google AdSense banners. Is this possible and if so, how the heck do I do it? I just can't figure it out. Thanks in advance.

Open page source in your browser on a page with ads showing, locate he Adsense code, copy a small phrase/part of it, then within ACP user Template Search - /admin.php?templates/search - to locate it.

    <xf:if is="{{!$xf.visitor.isMemberOf([x, y, z])}}">
        --- Google Adense Code here ---
    </xf:if>

Place this xf:if wrapper within your template that has your Adsense code.
x, y, z is a numeric for the usergroup(s) you want to exclude from seeing Adsense. /admin.php?user-groups/.
The x|y|z numeric to use is in the URL when you click on the usergroup.

I actually found in the source exact verbiage that says adsbygoogle and when I search for that in the templates and all add ons, nothing comes up at all. This one has me stumped.

It's probably the Google javascript that inserts that, not the template code.
Keep searching, you'll find it.
