Google Adsense in between Gallery rows

I use Gallery for my gallery page, with Google Adsense ads. By Integrate Gallery into Wordpress, I am able to add Adsense code at page header and/or footer.

But, since my album is displayed in 3 rows, I think putting Adsense ads in between Gallery rows will better increase the appearance and click rate(hopefully ).

Problem
I search through Internet but failed to find helpful resources. The “html_wrap” files only support for Header, Footer, and Frame. Doesn’t has html wrap for Gallery Rows.

At the end, I solved it by myself with dirty trick. Read on for details.

Solution
Since html_wrap does not help this time. I modified the “view_album.php” file to get my ads display in between rows. “view_album.php” is the PHP file to display photo albums in Gallery.

Warning! Editing “view_album.php” is NOT recommended. Make sure you have backup the file first before modify it. Backup!

Insert Google Adsense Code In Between Gallery Rows

1. Backup “view_album.php” file!
2. Open “view_album.php" for editing.
3. Search for the following lines of code:
   [php]if ($printTableRow) {
   echo('

   ');
   }
   $rowCount++;
   $rowStart = $visibleItemIndex;[/php]

4. Insert your Google Adsense code AFTER:
   [php]if ($printTableRow) {
   echo('

   ');[/php]
   and, BEFORE :
   [php]}
   $rowCount++;
   $rowStart = $visibleItemIndex;[/php]

5. If you are doing it right, it will looks something like this:
   [php]if ($printTableRow) {
   echo('

   ');
   // START - Insert adsense in between Gallery row
   ?>

   
   
   
   
   

   }
   $rowCount++;
   $rowStart = $visibleItemIndex;[/php]

6. Save the modified "view_album.php" file and upload back to your Gallery folder. Backup the file before replace!
7. Done!
