hi, you just have ton insert you code where you want it to appear in your templates files, it's very easy.

I was playing with the Templates files. I cant get it to line up right.

anyone?

Note;
Be sure to back up your originals before making any changes to your files.

Edit these two files;

search_results.html

categories.html

Open them up either on the server or in notepad.

At the top of the file in search_results.html, just before;

<?php
extract($search_results);
?>

you'll want to place this;

<table width="740" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr><td valign="top">
<tr><td valign="top"><div>

Then, at the bottom of the same file, just after the;

<?php }?>

you'll want to place this;

<div> </div>
</td>

<td width="30%" valign="top">

<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#f5f5f5"><center><-- your adwords script goes here --></center> <div id="common_report" align="left">
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


In your categories.html file you'll want to do the same thing;

in the top of the file just before;

<?php if ($catid && is_numeric($catid)){?>

you'll want to place this;

<table width="740" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2" align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr><td valign="top">
<tr><td valign="top"><div>

Then at the bottom, just after the;

<?php }?>

You'll want to place this;

<div> </div>
</td>

<td width="30%" valign="top">

<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#f5f5f5"><center><-- your adwords script goes here --></center> <div id="common_report" align="left">
</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

"We usually write to fit most screen resolutions, so you may or may not want to rewrite the table widths, cellspacing and colours"

This actually works Nice one!

from what i have tested out is that you dont need to have both searchresults.php and catagories.php...

What do I mean?

ok first if you only want to show ads on search results page then you dont need to add the catagories page...and vice versa

if you only edit the search results page you will have ads ONLY AFTER the user searches your search engine

If you only edit the catagories page then you will have the ads on the front page...i personally dont like having ads on my front page (atleast until i get some good content and a great layout of for the front page) so i left them out of the catagories page...

I am still doing some testing with this feature im going to work on getting it more set into the actual layout so that the layout dont have an "off" look... meaning that it dont exactly fit right with the way that i like!!

this will take me a while because i am also working on other little features as well


im going to stop babbeling and get back to work...thank you for the code
