Hello, i'm trying to add my google ad widget to the site and it's not working.
I tried adding the code directly to site and using the global config tab and neither of them works for me.
How you guys do? Thanks

You probably want to alter the skins template, maybe header.tpl or footer.tpl but it really depends on where you want the ads to display.

"Using the Template Editor"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/3183/using-the-template-editor

And since its javascript, make sure you read this:

Are you using a cloned skin?

If so which skin did you clone?

No, it's not a clone skin, it's a template i'm adapting.

This is what is used in our skins:

            <script type="text/javascript"><!--
                google_ad_client = "##############";
                google_ad_width = 180;
                google_ad_height = 150;
                google_ad_format = "180x150_as";
                google_ad_type = "text_image";
                google_ad_channel ="";
                google_color_border = "CCCCCC";
                google_color_bg = "CCCCCC";
                google_color_link = "FF9900";
                google_color_text = "333333";
                google_color_url = "333333";
                //--></script>
            <script type="text/javascript"
                    src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
            </script>

There isn't a need for the literal tags.

Hope this helps!

gary.moncrieff:
google_ad_client = "##############";

I've put: google_ad_client = "ca-pub-2460287167860304";
The problem is it still doesn't work. Don't i have to change more on the code?
It's strange, because if the ad works on my blog isn't it supposed to work here?

Is that message its giving you in your error logs?

I can see the code is there... the only thing I can think is that maybe your google id isn't correct?

Publisher ID

EDIT: ID's removed.

Take a look at the GENERATED source code and I think you'll see a few things you want to fix up.

ie:
* go here http://dev.serveion.com/wowmusic/
* (in firefox) ctrl+u to see source code

There are quite a few locations shown in red, that usually means an error.

Some of them are stuff like this:

<!--<script type="text/javascript" src="/skins/wmWowMusic/js/lib-1-9-1.js"></script><!-- lib Js -->

Which has 2 opening tags for an html comment, but only 1 closing tag. that should be fixed up.

Further down there is:

 <h1 id="logo"> <a href="index.html"> <img src="http://dev.serveion.com/wowmusic/skins/wmWowMusic/img/logo.jpg"></h1>

Which has an opening 'a href' but no closing tag. That should be fixed up.

The part your probably most interested in related to the google code is down around line 1952 ish. (screenshot)

You have a script tag open, then some html inside that open script block.

If you can get the code that google says "Use this code to show adsense" in tact out to the source code, then you'll probably fix it.

Thanks for the help!

But it really was related to google, they have to approve the ads to the site first, and it seems it was not approved hehe.

solved Google ads to Jamroom skin
