Stuck with Adsense module configuration

You are using 4.7 and not 4.6, since what you describe was done in 4.7 only.

The instructions say:

To use this module, you need to enable the profile module, and create a new field of type "single line textfield".

I will change that to:

* Go to administer -> modules and enable the profile module.
* Go to administer -> settings -> profile and create a new profile field of type "single line textfield". Name this field something like "Google Adsense Client ID", and form name "profile_google_adsense_client_id". This is a required configuration parameter. At a minimum you should enter this field for user 1.

The field must be setup as follows:
o Private field, content only available to privileged users.

If you want to use revenue sharing and force users to enter a value when they signup, then use the following settings:
o The user must enter a value.
o Visible in user registration form.

If you plan to use revenue sharing, you should enter a descriptive explanation so users know what to enter in this field.
* Now go to "my account" -> edit, then click on the category that you defined the Google Adsense Client ID under, and then enter your Google ID, which is something like "pub-9999999999999", and click Submit.

Please check if these instructions work for you, and if so, I will commit them for everyone else.

Help changes committed to 4.7 and HEAD.

Hope this is clearer now.
