    180 == Main Templates ==
    181 
    182 It is also possible to use your own modified versions of the Trac [http://www.clearsilver.net/ ClearSilver] templates. Note though that this technique is not recommended because it makes upgrading Trac rather problematic: there are unfortunately several dependencies between the templates and the application code, such as the name of form fields and the structure of the template data, and these are likely to change between different versions of Trac.
    183 
    184 If you absolutely need to use modified templates, copy the template files from the default templates directory (usually in found in `$prefix/share/trac/templates`) into the `templates` directory of the project environment. Then modify those copies to get the desired results.

    187 == Adding Google Adsense Services To Your Trac ==
    188 === Google Adsense For Content - Ads ===
    189 It's actually pretty simple now that I know it, here it goes.
    190 On your trac environment directory, edit '''`site_css.cs`''' and put this inside:
    191 {{{
    192 #!css
    193 <?cs
    194 ##################################################################
    195 # Site CSS - Place custom CSS, including overriding styles here.
    196 ?>
    197 /* For Mozilla and Safari */
    198 *>#content {
    199         padding: 0;
    200         margin: 15px 140px 0 15px;
    201         text-align: left;
    202         min-height: 770px;
    203 }
    204 
    205 /* For IE */
    206 * html #content {
    207         padding: 0;
    208         margin: 15px 140px 0 15px;
    209         text-align: left;
    210         height: 770px;
    211 }
    212 
    213 #ads {
    214         position: absolute;
    215         top: 170px;
    216         right: 10px;
    217         width: 140px;
    218         z-index: 1;
    219         text-align: right;               
    220 }
    221 }}}
    222 Now a bit of explanation. Settings are of course, of topic, if you have doubts, there's a CSS link above in this page, click it, even so I'll explain parts.
    223 
    224 First we override '''`#content`''', trac's main content div id so we can have space for our ads. The most important part is that '''`140px`''', our right margin. We also set a minimun height(`min-height`) for Mozilla and Safary browsers and `height` for IE browser or else the ads would be on top of the footer in case the wiki page is small enough, which explains why there are two '''`#content`'''. Because IE doesn't respect `min-height`, so it's just work arround that.
    225 
    226 The '''`width`''' in '''`#ads`''' should only be set if you intend to have multiple ad spaces, for example, a Skyscraper Google Ad, and also a 'Use Firefox...' that google also makes available. If it wasn't set, both ads would show up side by side, wich is not good '''`;]`'''. If you only intend on using a single Skyscrapper Google Ad, you should ommit '''`width`''', why, because if a user has the firefox Ad-Block plugin, and he blocks all ad content from google he'll see the wiki pages with the full width. Neat right, this way we make everyone happy.
    227 
    228 Now we'll need to add the Google Ads code somewhere right? Edit '''`site_footer.cs`''', and next is an example:
    229 {{{
    230 #!text/html
    231 <?cs
    232 #########################################################################
    233 # Site footer - Contents are automatically inserted after main Trac HTML
    234 ?>
    235 <div id="ads">
    236         <!--- Start of Google Ad Code -->
    237         YOU WOULD PASTE IT HERE
    238 
    239 
    240         <!--- End of Google Ad Code -->
    241 </div>
    242 }}}
    243 
    244 Another example is those ads moving up/down everytime you scroll:
    245 {{{
    246 #!text/html
    247 <?cs
    248 #########################################################################
    249 # Site footer - Contents are automatically inserted after main Trac HTML
    250 ?>
    251 <div id="ads">
    252         <!--- Start of Google Ad Code -->
    253         YOU WOULD PASTE IT HERE
    254         <!--- End of Google Ad Code -->
    255 </div>
    256 
    257 <!-- *********************************************************************

    262 <script type="text/javascript">
    263 <!--
    264 function JSFX_FloatTopRight()
    265 {
    266         var startX = 10, startY = 160;
    267         var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1);
    268         var d = document;
    269         var px = document.layers ? "" : "px";
    270         function ml(id)
    271         {
    272                 var el=d.getElementById?d.getElementById(id):d.all?d.all[id]:d.layers[id];
    273                 if(d.layers)el.style=el;
    274                 el.sP=function(x,y){this.style.right=x+px;this.style.top=y+px;};
    275                 el.x = startX; el.y = startY;
    276                 return el;
    277         }
    278         window.stayTopRight=function()
    279         {
    280                 var pY = ns ? pageYOffset : document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop : document.body.scrollTop;
    281                 var dY = (pY > startY) ? pY : startY;
    282                 ftlObj.y += (dY - ftlObj.y)/8;
    283                 ftlObj.sP(ftlObj.x, ftlObj.y);
    284                 setTimeout("stayTopRight()", 40);
    285         }
    286         ftlObj = ml("ads");
    287         stayTopRight();
    288 }
    289 JSFX_FloatTopRight();
    290 //-->
    291 </script>
    292 }}}
    293 
    294 The most important line is this one:
    295 {{{
    296 ftlObj = ml("ads");
    297 }}}
    298 You must match your ads DIV name:
    299 {{{
    300 ftlObj = ml("<your_ads_div_name_here>");
    301 }}}
    302 
    303 === Google Adsense for Search - Search Boxes ===
    304 As a follow up on the [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracInterfaceCustomization#GoogleAdsenseForContentAds previous subject], I'll introduce one more way to add income to your Trac env, replacing trac's search box seen on the top right of trac's header for one that Google Adsense provides. First generate the code you need by logging into [http://google.com/adsense Google Adsense] and selecting "Google Adsense for Search", there you find enough info on how to generate it.
    305 
    306 Now we'll need to add an additional DIV to '''`site_css.cs`''', here it goes:
    307 {{{
    308 #!css
    309 <?cs
    310 ##################################################################
    311 # Site CSS - Place custom CSS, including overriding styles here.
    312 ?>
    313 #GoogleSearch {
    314         position: absolute;
    315         top: 3px;
    316         right: 3px;
    317         z-index: 1;
    318 }
    319 }}}
    320 
    321 Now you'll need to add the previous generated search box HTML code somewhere. Edit '''`site_header.cs`''' to look something like:
    322 {{{
    323 #!text/html
    324 <?cs
    325 ####################################################################
    326 # Site header - Contents are automatically inserted above Trac HTML
    327 ?>
    328 <div id="GoogleSearch">
    329         <!--- Start of Google Search Box Code -->
    330         YOU WOULD PASTE IT HERE
    331         <!--- End of Google Search Box Code -->
    332 </div>
    333 }}}
    334 What happens is that the '''`#GoogleSearch`''' DIV is placed on top of Trac's search box, and by this, replacing it. Do NOTE that Trac's search will still be available, you'll just need to click the search button on the navbar.
    335 
    336 === In Action ===
