No Ads for Logged In Members - WP Plugin?

[AAB]

Donncha's "No Ad for Friends" was last updated in 2007 and doesn't work. Does anybody know of a plugin that would block display of ads for logged in members?

I avoid 3rd party plugins. You can use cookies and conditionals to do what you want.

Sadly, plugins are a feasible alternative for webmasters who are not programmers. I can imagine this may not be a big deal for someone good with PHP, but that ain't me

wouldnt be hard to do, adrotate is a good plugin.

prob just a single function to add to only show ads for non members.

[just a punk]

This code will do the trick (insert it right into your WP theme):

<?php
if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
  echo "your annoying ad is here";
}
?>

Or do you want it made as a widget or so?

Let me give this a try, cyber :D

UPDATE: Would it work if I pasted the code in the widgetized sidebar as "Text"?

What would be the trick to make it work with widgets? When I use the code in a "Text" widget, it shows nothing when I log out, but displays ;}?> when I log in.

If you don't want to make it managed as a widget, you can use it as is. Just insert the mentioned above code into your sidebar.php.

P.S. Fuck and replace your avatar with something neutral according to the GFY rules.

adrotate is a good plugin

http://adrotateplugin.com/page/features.php

and if you wanted to disable the ads for logged in users.

function adrotate_shortcode_strip() {
	if (!is_user_logged_in()) {
		remove_shortcode('adrotate');
	}	
}

add_filter('the_content', 'adrotate_shortcode_strip');

actually if you are using a text widget, you could run a filter on the widget to only show it to non members.

add_filter( 'widget_text', 'non_members' );

function non_members($content = null ) {

	/* If the user is logged in, return nothing. */
	if ( is_user_logged_in() || is_null( $content ) )
		return '';

	/* Return the content. */
	return do_shortcode( $content );
}

That works well with the WP login system, but I like to use straight .htaccess (CCBill) with a similar check for a "members" cookie:

<?php if (isset($_COOKIE['Members'])) { include("members.php"); } ?>

The double quotes seem to make this code unusable. Because every ad code will contain double quotes somewhere within it, it will break the echo which is exactly what happened when I tried it.
