[hcmagix]

nice :D

for further versions, I need an option for show ads in last post or every 10 post on a site.

[gwerzal]

I have just installed it but the ad is not showing.

You can see where the ad is meant to be with the text wrapped around it but the ad doesn't show.

Edit - Got it working now. dont no what was playing up but its all looking good now.

Cheers dude

[hnjco]

Thanks all.

Could have mentioned that before lol

anyways lookin good and i like the way you can turn the ads off for members

[Icy]

Nice hack :D. Installed! As hcmagix said an option for show ads after X posts would be nice :)

[elmati]

Right now Google adsense just let you put 3 ads with same code per page.
I'll make this option for you :)

Next update:
Exclude forums
Show ads after X posts.

Cooming soon! :)

[elmati]

Version 1.0.1 is out!

v1.0.1 - 07 May 2008
- Added feature: Exclude forums.
- Added feature: Show ads every certain number of messages
- Minor bugs fixed

Please upgrade to new version :)

Best Regards!

[duplu]

Thanks for this working well on my site. The only problem I have is that the ads sometime overwrite a post that has been quoted.

There's an example on this page of my site http://www.fruit-emu.com/forums/site-news/13353-site-changes-discussion-3.html#post117021

[elmati]

Ok, im checking that because just happens in IE...
I'll try to fix today.

thanx for the feedback!

[duplu]

I see what you mean it works OK in Firefox. It's not working for me in Safari.

[Icy]

Updated! Thanks :)

[figu120]

and posbit_legancy work?

[tintructo]

Ok, im checking that because just happens in IE...
I'll try to fix today.

thanx for the feedback!

that's because in IE widths works different, and the Quote bbcode is a ' width="100%" ' table, and IE makes the 100% to the other side of the POST itself, while firefox and any good browser will see that 100% is to where the floated div starts. the workaround for that would be to set a fixed width of X% or Xpx to the table (only for ie)

esto pasa por que en IE es una porqueria como renderiza los tama?os, no toma en cuenta los elementos que flotan como algo de tama?o sino que toma el contenedor principal para el 100% y como ve que no entra, lo manda para abajo..la unica forma de arreglarlo que se me ocurre es ponerle un tama?o fijo el quote de manera que entre...lo que si me sorprende es que funcione bien en firefox...por que yo trato de reproducir el mismo caso y se me superpone el texto el ad de google con el quote, rarisimo realmente...pero con ie esta mas complicada la cosa

[figu120]

Mi duda es pero sirve para el postbit vertical..

pues lo agrege tal cual y no me funciono.. muchas gracias

[elmati]

Hi all!

yeah it's works with both templates: postbit & postbit_legacy

I'm workin on a whole upgrade to fix the bbcodes issue

Many thanks to those who installed the plugin
Muchas gracias a los que instalaron el plugin

[fmfa-online]

Instalado gracias!!!

[elmati]

Ok, i have implemented a temporary fix to quote overlap issue in IE.

Just upload the product again and dont forget to check rewrite to yes.
Go to product settings and add a message area width.

I hope that will help until i find a new way to fix it :)

[elmati]

Thanks, this works perfectly for me. I prefer the way this display in Safari better than how it looked correctly before in Firefox.

Thanks Duplu :)

I'm workin on a better upgrade

Great Mod! Is it possible in a future version to enable this mod to display ads only for certain user group?
Thanx!

[duplu]

Thanx!

It already does this. There is a setting in the admincp where you put the numbers of the usergroups you want to see the ads.

[michaelsilvia]

Very nice! If I could make a suggestion. Please provide an option where you can exclude specific usergroups. I have a premium membership on my site and one of the benefits is no ads.

Hi, the plugin has this feature!



Btw... Bug finded...
There is a bug when using the quickreply and the new post created has advertising. That issue shows a blank page... I am still looking for a solution.

If anyone find a possible solution please share :)

[wtrk]

turn it on and off per forum would be awesome.

[dancue]

Ok, elmati. I got a request for you.

I want to be able to use two different ad codes depending on what style I'm using. If I use a fixed style (or a style specified in AdminCP) it would result in one code, and a fluid style would result in another.

One possible set up would be like this:

Ad Code 1:
Ad Code 2:
Select A Style for AdCode 1: (Click and hold Cntrl to select multiple)
Select A Style for AdCode 2: (Click and hold Cntrl to select multiple)

What do you think?

[dancue]

Also, does this use any iframes or float elements?

Yeah, That could be a nice add on.
Added to the todo list :)

Added to the todo list for the next release! :)

Just use a div to contain the ads, but some ads uses a iframes.
And that's iframes are causing troubles when you use the quick reply and your post will have advertising. I'm trying to fix that.


Thanks all for your comments and sugestions :)

[dancue]

I asked about the iframes and float elements because someone mentioned that one of these is against google policy.

Does your mod violate any terms by google?

[elmati]

No, this mod respect the terms of google and every advertisement networks like linkshare.com.

your code will be something like this:
<!-- message -->
<div>
<div style="float:right">ADS CODE</div>
<div>Post message</div>
</div>
<!-- /message -->

That way is used in a lot of portals and websites without problems.

Best regards!

[dancue]

Thank you for clearing that up!

Can't wait for your next update! When do you think you'll have that one out?

[elmati]

i got a full time work so i'll work on this weekend :)

thanks for your interest.
Best regards!

[dancue]

ok. Thank you.

[rootnik]

These would be very useful options:

1. Location: last post.

2. Disable ad in first post if thread is sticky.

3. "All usergroups" setting. Allot of mods use 0 to equal all groups.

Very nice mod, installed.

[quarum]

This seems to scruntch up the text in the posts - it pushes the text all to the left. Any idea what I missed that might cause this?

[intensecool]

Sir,

Exclude forums is not working for me...As i have put the forum id's which i do not want the ads to appear in postbit but it appears to be on the whole forum

Can you fix this

[elmati]

Hi all,

I'm fixin all the issues to the next release...
Please be patient cuz i dont have full time to work with this :(

Thanks for all the C&C!

Thanks

[neologan]

the issue with ie not following the ad borders, are you just looking for html that will fix this or is the issue more serious?

I use code on my main site that works in IE without having to enter a width, would that be useful to you?

[neologan]

ok a few issues.

1) the quote problem, this must be rather simple surely?

2) instead of having "Each how many messages", why not have another system where you can choose when the ad should be repeated and how many times, so:

Display an ad every how many posts?: 4
Do this how many times?: 3

This would mean the ad shows 3 times on the first, fourth and 8th post. This is a better system i think.

aside from these two issues, it's bording on perfect. thanks! :)

[Rat1972]

can it also set the adsense below the signature?

[pnosko31]

he hasn't posted on this thread in 4 months so obviously he is not gonna do any more upgrades to this

[vietfancy]

installed. and save for later use. :d

[soner]

thank you super hack :)

[Fungsten]

Installed. I"m using VB 3.7.3 in postbit legacy and the text is not wrapping around the ads. They are getting pushed to the left in a long narrow column. I saw in the thread that some others are having the same problem. Does anyone have a fix for this? TIA!

[goldenchildren]

Hi every time I time and Import it comes up with "No file uploaded and no local file found" even though I am clearly pointing it to the right file on my machine, running cp in safari and vb 3.7.3 any ideas as it's driving me nuts!

[nymyth]

anyone found a solution to the white page problem??

Thanks

[nymyth]

Here is the solution....

<if condition="(!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] and !$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->GPC['ajax'])">

Peace

[Riccardo83]

Love it! Great!

[Nintendo-Daily]

I like it alot, but is there a way to display the ads at the bottom of the post instead of the right side?

[Riccardo83]

That woudl be great yes... Most people Reply on things and the chance they read the last post is much higher...

[Nintendo-Daily]

I'm not sure if you were replying to me but if you were that isn't what I meant. I still want the ad in the 1st post, but at the bottom of the post, not the right side of the post , where it is positioned by default.

How would I need to modify the <div> in the XML file?

[Riccardo83]

Well I was replying to you indeed. What I ment was to have the ad inside the first post and the option to have it inside of the last post on every page as well.

I'd love to tell ya how but I'm not sure myself...

You need to adjust the postbit width, I think its set to 200 by default, I have mine set at 750 http://www.ukbusinesslive.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=56

it depends if you have a fluid or fixed style, best thing to do is to pay with it and see, trial and error always works for me ;)

I don't get what to put "ads code"

I have google adsense with 3.8.0 but not sure what to put as a code.

First of all, you need a Google Adsense account. Once you have one set up you can create all kinds of different ads. Once you create ads you get an ad code. Once you get your ad code, use that. :)

[floggerss]

Work great Thanks

[Pure Dope]

are there any other mods like this one? i would like my users post to wrap around the ad.

Nice mod but how can I place the adsense ads on the left side instead on the right side within the first post?
