View Full Version : Adsense after first post ONLY if there are more than X posts in the thread

Many forums use three ad units in their threads.. at the top, within the content, and then at the bottom. This mod was made with this kind of set up in mind.
The problem is the thread pages can tend to look horrible and overrun with ads if there is not enough content (say only a couple one line posts) between the ad units.

This isnt for everyone as some people prefer to keep all their ads showing no matter what.. but for those interested, this template modification only displays adsense after first post if there are over X amount of posts in the thread.

If you want everyone to see the ads you can remove the is_member_of AND line. Otherwise, you can add the user groups who you want to see the ads to it. (Don't forget to replace 'X' with a numerical value of your choice)


Place the following at the very end of the postbit template:
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2) AND !$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= X">
$spacer_open

<div class="page" style="width:100%; text-align:left">
<div style="padding:0px 0px 6px 0px">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1">

<div align="center">
<!-- adsense goes here -->
</div>

</td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>
</div>

$spacer_close
</if>

One thing, I would like to show my ads AFTER the post #5. How do I do that?

change:
!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']

to:
$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 5

Be sure you've placed the ads code correctly.

I've tried everything but can't get this to work, here is what I have been using:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) AND !$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= X">
$spacer_open

<div class="page" style="width:100%; text-align:left">
<div style="padding:0px 0px 6px 0px">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1">

<div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0348024283260953";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 15;
google_ad_format = "728x15_0ads_al";
google_ad_channel ="";
//</script>

Very sorry for the late responce..

You are using your quick reply right?
Try changing:
!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']
To this:
$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) AND !$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= X">
Change X to a numerical value of your choice (like 3 or 4)

Moparx

lol... thats dumb...

replace your <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) AND !$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= X">

With
<if condition="!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= 3">

You dont need to list every user group if you want it to show to everyone...

hmm, it looks like if you have two pages and its under the X post and you reply to it, it messed up.

I added this mod to my VB 3.5.4 but nothing shows up. I only added the code to postbit template? Do I have to add it to any other templates as well? Does it take time for the change to take place? I assume I should be able to see the result instantly!

did you update the conditional so it shows in the user group you are trying to view it as? also are you using an ad blocker?

How do I update conditional?

I dont have an ad blocker. I can see adsense on other pages just fine.

Code did not work for me. Third hack on Vb.org that involves adsense that does not work.

If you are going to post then make an attempt at asking for help and show your code as you most likely did it wrong since the code works perfect on the entire 3.5.x series. Just complaning about it is a waste of both of our time since I cant see what you are doing
