Adsense issue

[zooi +]

What version of 68 Classifieds are you running?
C68 version: v4.2.1 Developer, template Sigma
What template are you using?
Sigma

Please describe in detail the issue you are having:

I have added Google Adsense in the listings via adsens code in viewlisting.tpl, see below code:

<table  width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3">
				{if $description<>""}
                <h3>{$smarty.const.LANG_DESCRIPTION}:</h3><hr class="mystyle" />
  				<tr valign="top">
                <td>{$description|nl2br}</p>{mycheckbox id=$view fid=2}</td>
   			    <td align="right">
                {literal}
                <script type="text/javascript"><!--
				google_ad_client = "ca-pub-xxxxx";
				/* Kidsspullen_in_ads */
				google_ad_slot = "xxxxxx";
				google_ad_width = 336;
				google_ad_height = 280;
				//-->
				</script>
				<script type="text/javascript"
				src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
				</script>
                {/literal}
                </td>
  				</tr>
			{/if}
            </table>

Now it appear in Firefox and Safari that during placing a listing
http://www.mydomain.nl/modules.php?m...&cmd=checkout1
....some problems appear.

In firefox it stops with page loading and a blank page appear and in safari only a blank page with the adsense ads. in chrome and IE it works ok and the listing will be placed.

When I remove the adsense code it worked perfect in all browsers

Is the adsense code placed wrong? it is between {literal} adsense code{/literal}

Thank you for any suggestions

I moved this post to the TemplateCodes support, because this is not an issue with 68 Classifieds. This issue is specific to Quick Checkout.

I don't know specifically, but I would believe that this is most likely a conflict or incompatibility with the javascript. The Quick Checkout module uses a one page checkout system that is controlled through javascript and will only show each section of content when the prior section has been completed.

The link you posted isn't going to work for anyone as it is a link that is during the checkout process which would require that one is already logged into your site with a registered user account and a current session.

Something that I believe you should take into serious consideration is...
Why would you post a Google ad within your customer's ad listing??? If I were a seller on your site, I would be pretty upset that you were showing a third party ad within my ad listing that I am paying for. It's one thing to have ads in the standard layout, but within my ad is a completely different story in my opinion. Have you considered that?

Correct - there is a javascript conflict if you place adsense within the actual viewlisting template file - this shows up when you are using the quick checkout process because it is making use of that file. Basically you can't do it - I tried once myself on a site I own and had to remove the adsense to the the layout.tpl file. This only happened fairly recently and was not always the case.

@Mike,

Thank you for moving the post. You are right.
furthermore I don't put the Adsense code directly in the ad. I have splitted the part where the lisitng appear in two coloumns so that the listing is showed at left and the adsens at the right side of the listing.
The content of adsens sows directly relevant links or ads in relation to the ad and in this way the conversion will be much higher (I have done this on some other websites of my with good results)
As I try to keep placing listings for free I need Adsense to cover the costs and to earn some little money.

@Seymourjames
I'm confused. This means a big disadvantage for my site and for my actual plan.
Adsense income is realy important for me and now it seems I have to skip this plan...................
If you see a possible solution, then please let me know.

Thank you all for your input.

I don't know if this would work and I have not tested this in any way, shape or form. Have you tried using smarty itself to only show this if it is being shown as the "main template file"?

Something like this:
{If $body == "viewlisting.tpl"}
Your code for google adsense
{/if}

When you are in the checkout the body assign wouldn't be to the viewlisting.tpl, so it shouldn't try to show the code. Again, I have not tested this and don't know if it will work, but it's worth a try.

Otherwise, I would simply suggest that you don't use the quick checkout. Just deactivate it in the admin and then you can still use "YOUR PLAN".
