[tommydamic68]

How do you achieve an Google ad in the sidebar @Brogan ?

 

[Paul B]

Use the ad_sidebar_below_visitor_panel.

Use the ad_sidebar_below_visitor_panel.

is this the right div for the border?

<center><xen:hook name="ad_sidebar_below_visitor_panel" /><div class="sectionMain"><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!-- sidebar adver -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px"
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-25xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
     data-ad-slot="425555555"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script></div></center>

I personally don't use center but that will work.

This is mine:

<xen:hook name="ad_sidebar_below_visitor_panel" />

<xen:if is="in_array({$contentTemplate}, array('forum_list', 'cta_featuredthreads_featured'))">
    <xen:include template="cta_countdown_forum_sidebar" />
</xen:if>

<style type ="text/css">
.sidebar-below-visitor-panel-dynamic {
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
}
</style>

<xen:if is="!{$visitor.user_id}">
    <xen:if is="!in_array({$contentTemplate}, array('search_results'))">

Thanks - where do I find the background color here in the image. not the ad - the background color behind it.

 

[Paul B]

That's the default sidebar secondary content - .sidebar .secondaryContent

 

[tommydamic68]

Any way to get the ad block corners "square" like the other side bar elements?

By the way, based on my experience Sidebar for Adsense is not worth it.

Yeah - your right, just checked my google ad performance. Any other place you recommend, have the footer and top navabar area. I made 7 cents since the first of this month.

Just a quick advice
