vB Google Adsense for Search plus Integration
I've done an overhaul on this and you will need to resetup your adsense for search account for this to work. If you aren't happy with that, please use the 3.6 version of this, which works fine for 3.7 from what I've been told.
When you resetup your adsense, you will get a new pub ID - this one includes your previous pub and tacks on your GALT (which is set up when you resetup your adsense account).
Example:
partner-pub-0123456789012345:lnucfbm5dtp
You will need this for step 3. If you do not have this, you will see an error.
Also, keep in mind, all sites you put into the box for the adsense (one per line) will be integrated into the search and the search results.
Example: I used
www.christianboards.org and
www.google.com (so it would search my site and the web - you can choose only your site, or any location that is web-accessible for results)
New! Version 1.6 - AdminCP control over each location's search box width.
Step 1:
Edit chdir('/path/to/your/forums/'); in searchresults.php - put the correct value then upload to your forum's root.
Example:
http://www.yoursite.com/searchresults.php
Step 2:
Install the product
Go to Admincp => Plugins & Products => Manage Products => [Add/Import Product] => Browse for product-davidw_vb_google_search.xml => Import
Step 3:
Configure your Admincp options
Go to Admincp => vBullitin Options => vBulletin Options => Find vB Google Search (Adsense) then click [Edit Settings]
Edit your new Pub ID (the one you just had reset up - see example in red above), Google box width, iframe widthfor your results (I use 800 in the screenshot, but you can change this based on your needs), and the full URL to your searchresults.php.
NOTE! If you do not enter these in, you will see errors.
Step 4: Optional
Edit 1 template:
Admincp => Styles & Templates => Style Manager => Edit Templates (on your style) => Search Templates => search_forums => under $navbar, add $google_siteadsearch
