It IS spTopicView.php. You will find the bit Steve suggested in there.

Yes you are right, my apologies.

When I opened it previously it was in notepad. When I opened it in Dreamweaver I found it..mostly.

In my spTopicView.php I found the following:

"sp_InsertBreak();

                    sp_SectionEnd('', 'post');"

and I inserted my echo after this - it worked to some extent. It shows below the first 3 or 4 posts. Not after the first post only.

I could not find this code:

"$spTopicView->current_post==1"

So I'm almost there.

Did you want me to include this bit of code myself?

Thank you Yellow Swordfish - I'm sorry about using Notepad to find the code before, I have learnt from this.

You're so fast mate! Thank you!

I'm afraid I could not get it to work.

This is what I have - where am I going wrong?:

SUCCESS!

Thank you very much. What a great service.

I hope you have a great weekend and an even better life, good sir.

Here is how you can do it.

First create your own theme so any changes you make are not over written by updates. See here on how.

Since you want to use the adsense code in multiple paces I would create a function for it.

It appears you have seen the files in yourthemes/template folder.  One of the is spFunctions.php.  This is a file that you can add a function to, among other things, that your theme can use.

Create a function for your ad. Let's call it spAddCode

Open the spFuntions.php file up in your editor and at the bottom just above the closing ?> is where you can add the function.

Your function should look something like this.

function spAddCode() {

class="brush-php syntax">spAddCode();

I am trying to add ads and this is what my function looks like 

function show_ad() {
 sp_adsense ('<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8654929854924223";
/* Top & Bottom */
google_ad_slot = "2182142041";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>');
}

After doing that I put this code into sp_topic_view.php:

if ( $spTopicView->current_post == 1 ) {
 echo show_ad();
 }

But my add is not showing anywhere. What am I doing wrong.

Ok I have fixed that, but my ad is still not showing up.
