How can I insert AdSense into the [*#content*] of my template?

I have a content div (green box) that contains the [*#content*] and another div called adsense. I want the ad to be placed 2 inches down on the page, AND have all the text to wrap around it. Is this possible to do with css (see pic)? I want the text to wrap around the top, right, and bottom of the ad. I set a top margin to lower the image 2 inches. Then I set it to float left, but this doesn’t allow the text to flow on the top of the image. Only the right and bottom.

I could accomplish this by inserting and {{AdSense}} chunk into each [*#content*], but that defeats the purpose of keeping everything separate. I want to accomplish this at the template level.

#content {width: 500px;border-style: solid;}

#adsense {float: left; width: 60; height: 50px; padding: 10px; margin: 100px 15px 0 0; border: solid thin;}

This is a really old topic but I made a snippet to do this exact same thing in case anyone is interested.
I call it contentAdInjector

<?php
$where = 1; //insert chunk after # </p>
$content = $modx->documentObject['content'];
$content = explode('</p>', $content);
for ($i = 0; $i<count($content); $i++){
	if ($i == $where) {
		echo $modx->getChunk('adsense1'); //insert your chunk here
		}
	echo $content[$i] . '</p>';
	}
?>

Use this snippet in place of [*conent*] and your chunk will show up after the paragraph you specify in $where.

Talltree, nice! Could this be modified to only insert the first paragraph of the main text of an article?

I’m using Ditto to make a blog page, but introtext can have no pictures (drab blog page) so I’m looking for a way to also include the first <p>.

<?php
$content = $modx->documentObject['content'];
$content = explode('</p>', $content);
echo $content[0]; // insert the first paragraph
echo $modx->getChunk('adsense1'); //insert your chunk here
?>

Very slick, Susan. But won’t the first paragraph show twice unless the [*#content*] tag is left out of the template (and then you’d lose the rest of the paragraphs)?

I frequently have days like that. Fortunately for me I’m in a position where I can either just go back to bed or go for a long walk in the desert. I’m trying to cut down on the going out to get chocolate, though.

OK, so I could use the part above the getChunk to extract the first paragraph, and include the output after the Ditto call somehow?

so is this meant to enable injection of google adsense? Should it be something like this:

<?php
$where = 1; //insert chunk after # </p>
$content = $modx->documentObject['content'];
$content = explode('</p>', $content);
for ($i = 0; $i<count($content); $i++){
	if ($i == $where) {
		echo $modx->getChunk('<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* test */
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 180;
google_ad_height = 150;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>'); 
		}
	echo $content[$i] . '</p>';
	}
?>

And should i just place a call to this snippet somewhere in my template? Or do I need to change more in this script?
