Replace "Display Options" In Forum Display With "Google Adsense"

[ShawneyJ]

I searched all over Vb org for a mod to replace "display options" with a google ad in Forum Display. Sorry if there is some sort of mod out there, but i couldnt find one.
Im not sure if this mod will be at any use to anyone, but i wanted it, i seen it on a forum while searching the net. What i came up with was not spot on the same as the forum i seen it at, but i came damn close to it, if not spot on. Im also not sure if my code is %100 perfect but i have tested on IE and FF and it works like a charm.

First you need to install kira's modification (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178787&highlight=Display+Options), Big thanks to him/her for that mod.

After you have finished installing kira's mod, NEXT, Find In Forum Display Templates >> FORUMDISPLAY

Replace Your Adsense Code With The Part In The Red.

I am using a (336 x 280) google ad, so if you want to put in say a (468x60) ad, find in the code above:
<td class="alt1" width="340">
and change it to eg:
<td class="alt1" width="470">

as you can see we are just changing the number in size <td class="alt1" width="470"> change that to suit your needs.

sorry if the code is a bit messy, i had to add the <div> tags around the google ad to make it display with IE :rolleyes:

Anyway, just thought i'd share this, a good coder would have worked this out quick, but took me ages lol. cheers.
