This stretches my page

Now that I have this up and running, can anyone tell me how to modify the first line condition to check for user rank, ie I would also like my Junior members to be able to see the ads. I already have it checking for forums and usergroups. Junior members (less than 30 posts) dont contribute as much content to the site as more senior members so they may as well see the ads.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Does this work on postbit template, doesn't seem to work on mine, it creates the first post normal, then every post after that just decreases in size, lol..

the last post is super small..??

Sweet! I've been looking for this! Thanks a lot!

I had some troubles, but once I put the code in both postbit and legacy, then the ads started showing up! Brilliant mod! Thanks very much!

Nice forum style - doesn't look very standard to me though.

You probably need to change the HTML accordingly :)

Is your postbit standard? Are you sure you pasted the code in correctly.

Without more info it's impossible to speculate what might be wrong.

The postbit code should remain the same.

If you look back through the thread you'll see information on how to restrict the ad to appear/hide for given user groups.

Shout if you get stuck.

Trawl back through the thread. Pretty sure this has been done too :)

Thnks UK Jimbo. Already have.

You should click install then ;)

I only have one usergroup that I don't want to see the ads. Instead of entering all the groups that should see them like the example above, is there a way to just enter the usergroup that should not see them?

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks.

I think it was done on this thread somewhere before you can negate it like this:

Thanks! Works perfectly. I did search here before I asked, but not much came up under "usergroup".

Awesome hack. I've donated $25, as it's made me at least $500 so far, what about you?

Is there any way to provide this option only to certain usergroups, like paying members?

Yup - the question's been asked/answered a few times in this thread already :)

Sorry, I don't think I was being very clear in my question. Doc Great provided a solution that would add an On/Off button to the user's control panel so they could choose to see ads or not. Maybe this isn't the right place to ask, but I'd only like to give this option to certain paying members.

With your help I have set it up already so one usergroup never sees the ads, but I would like to give them the option in the Control Panel to turn ads on or off. I think I read all the posts here and I didn't see this answered.

Cheers,

Andrew

If you could create the userfield and have it specific to only certain usergroups that would solve the problem. I'm not sure if vBulletin will do that out of the box (the docs will do though!), if not I think it's probably a question for the mod requests forum on here.

Post back to let me/others know how you got on. Thanks!

Great plugin, thanks. Now if only there was one to put an ad randomly between threads on the thread list. ;)

Hello,

is it possible, that this mod does not work in vB 3.5.4 ? I have just changed the postbit template, I have add the following at the bottom :

after that, I import the Plugin. But nothing happens :(

What is the problem ? What do you need to help me ?

If you're running in "legacy postbit" mode (user info goes at the left hand side of posts) then you need to edit the template postbit_legacy instead of postbit.

You also haven't clicked install for this mod :)

Hello again,

i have just restore the "postbit" template and have add the code to the postbit_lecacy template. But it don't run :(

Whats the problem :( :( ?

I will click on install, if it runs ;)

Just wanted to say that this was an excellent hack. Clicked Install. Now, if it generates some cash I'd be happy to donate a little :)

One newbie type question that has me stumped. I want to make the ads visible to non-registered guests, Users awaiting EMail confirmation and to those who have a post total of less than 50. I know this really goes beyond the realm of this hack, but if anyone can clarify this I would be grateful. For some reason I can't grasp this and I'm sure it super-simple.

Here are my default usergroups and their Usergroup I.D.s:

(COPPA)-4
Administrators-6
Moderators-7
Registered-2
Super Moderators-5
Unregistered-1
Users Awaiting EMail Confirmation-3


Now here are my Usergroup Titles/Minimum Posts/I.D. #

New Member/0/1
Junior Member/20/2
Member/50/3
Senior Member/100/4


How can I edit the hack so that after a minimum post requirement a user can be "ad-free"?


Thanks!

Great hack & works fine.
Thanks Jimbo

I believe this would be done by adding a new usergroup and having users automatically promoted to it after 50 posts, then using the "if" by usergroup as explained earlier in the thread. Unless an "if" can be done by postcount, I am not sure. ;)

Thanks T.S., I would ideally like to keep my usergroups/usertitles and have this handled by a conditional if possible..but if that can't de done, I'll try anything.

Try this

Thanks T.S.!

The first "if" line would go before Jimbo's first line of code in his hack and the last would go after his last line correct?

Correct.

Thanks again..I'll give it a go tomorrow after I get home from my real job :)

Please remember my question - i need to install the hack quickly!!

Thanks

Works perfect! Thanks.

Doesn't work. Thanks anyways...

I just noticed that I placed the < the wrong way. I turned it around and tried it on my own forum, but still couldn't get it working. I am still learning.

Hi, so is the ad displayed right after the 1st post on the page? I would like it to do the following.. is this possible:

a page has 2 posts the ad appears after post one, the page has 4 posts the ad appears after post2, page with 10 posts on it the ad appears after post5. This way the ad is always kept in the center of the postings. Thanks for any info!

This plugin displays the ad in a different random position with each page load.

I could write this for you. Drop me a PM with an idea of how much you're willing to spend on it.

Sorry to sound dumb and ask this question but after reading through this whole thread im still confused.
This is the first mod ive installed so please bear with me.

Ive manged uploading the xml :)

But this edit the postbit is baffling me as i cant find the file i need to edit. Ive looked through all the files i have there and there is no file called that..Can someone explain in noob terms plz :(

"postbit" and "postbit_legacy" are the name of "templates". Sets of "templates" are stored in "styles".

Check out the "styles & templates" section in the vB documentation here

Shout if you have any problems.

Any 3.6 update coming out? This version works for me on 3.6 but doesn't quite look right. :banana:
