XF 1.5 No Adverts for VIPs

[xert77]

Hi,

I have managed to ad adsense advertisements in the blocks that were in an article on the forums here. I was just wondering how I can have it set.. If they are VIP, they don't show.

Many thanks.

You might like to use this add-on:

Ad Manager

With it you just set the User Group permission for the groups you wish to show the ads to.

Oh nice, thanks AndyB. Will check this out tomorrow!

You can accomplish this with a simple template edit around your adsense code:

<xen:if is="!{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, 2}">
 ... adsense code ...
</xen:if>

Replace 2 with your desired user group ID to exclude from advertisement. There is little need for an add-on's overhead just for a simple conditional.

I personally prefer the template modification that Jeremy relates as you can extend it and do more than just display to all but VIP. You can have it so that it only displays in certain areas, and not display in others for example.

Thanks Brogan, I already checked the responsive one out. However Google Adsense now offer a Responsive code option when you create an advert, which means they do all the work for you.
