Drupal Adsense Trick #2: adblocks between teasers

This article is the sequel to my first drupal
adsense article
. This time we're going to put adsense blocks in between
teasers, on for example our frontpage. Same as last time, this does not require
any modules, nor does it depend on adsense, it works with any phptemplate-based
theme and with all sorts of ad code.

For starters, we're going to create a new block
region. If there is not a template.php file in your theme folder, create one
and open it up. See if there is a block
regions function, if there is, add a new
block to it: 'betwteasers' =>
t('between teasers')

If you didn't find a block region function copy this
code into your template.php file (this code should be in between <?php and
?> tags):

function yourtheme_regions() {
return array(
'right' => t('right sidebar'),
'left' => t('left sidebar'),
'content' => t('content'),
'header' => t('header'),
'footer' => t('footer'),
'subnav' => t('subnav'),
'betwteasers' => t('between teasers'),
);
}

Automagically placing adsense inside content

This is my first ever blog post, so I'm going to keep it simple, and start with this easy trick to add adsense to your articles. This trick does not require the usage of the adsense module, or any other module. Actually, this trick does not even require adsense, because in essence, we'll be creating an in-content block in wich you can put any type of advertising you like.

First of all, we're going to create a new block region. Put the following code in your template.php file, if you don't have one, create a template.php file and put it in the directory of your theme:

function yourtheme_regions() {
return array(
'right' => t('right sidebar'),
'left' => t('left sidebar'),		
'content' => t('content'),
'header' => t('header'),
'footer' => t('footer'),
'incontent' => t('in content')
);
}
