Adsense after first post
 

Hey guys i think many of you will find this very usefull :)

With the template edit you can display adsense or banner after every 1st post. i have chosen to use my amazon affilite code.

Add this to the bottom of your postbit template.

Demo

Hi,

I want to have the adsense stuff for people NOT in specific groups.

For example: Admins, mods, staff etc. should not get the adsense stuff.

Can you give an example how to modify your template to make this possible?

btw. thanks for sharing :D

Didn't Kirby post this somewhere??

Thanks anyway.

Yup.

Mental Note: Tagging the post was a good idea :D

This idea sounds great but i tried using it on my board but it did not work.
i copied this code and pasted at the end of postbit template as you said and i put all the adsense code in this space u provided , if i am not mistaken. (<adsense code here> )
Could you please tell me where i went wrong??
Thanks

try this one
change the text what ever you want where its says spinzone sponsered links

What's more fun and challenging - because of ajax issues, is adsense in the last post. ;) That really gets the ad right where the reader's eyes are.

Hmm, keeping database read marking in mind:
Wouldn't the first unread post be the best place?
Cause the last Post doesn't necessarily get read - the first unread post will.

True. But, is there a conditional for it?

There must be as Posts carry Icons for Read/Unread.
So if this Icon changes to Unread for the first time it is the right Post.

Kirby forgive my ignorance, however, where does this post show how to do a conditional based on the usergroup?

I am going to be adding adsence, however, do not want contributing members or sponsors to see them.

Any help is appreciated!!

I've posted this often already, but i'll post it once again :)

<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, x, y, z) AND !$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']">

Sorry, you are going to fly out from Germany and kill me, however, I assume I put the usergroup number of the usergroup I do not want to see this in place of the x, y, z??

Thanks :)

Yep (regarding the replacement of x, y and z).

LOL I thought you were talking about the flying out part ;)

Thanks Kirby!!

Hey I seem to remember a thread one of the vBulletin Devs put out in regards to adding adsense....it had quite a few examples. Do you remember that?

That is odd, I placed the usergroup 1 (admin) in that code and it still shows the adsense?

**edit** disregard, it did remove it, however, completely did something odd with the formatting?? When I get home I will get a screen print.

Thanks kirby works great :D

Usergroup 1 is Guest, not Admin?

I know....I meant 6....sorry about that.

Somehow it messes up the formatting on the page, I will get a screenshot to show. Thanks as always Kirby!

try replacing

With:


Then replace x with the usergroupid that you do NOT want this ad to show for.

Thank you...unfortunately, it still shows for admin??

you must be doing something crazy xtremeoff-road as kirbys code works for me.

Keep adding
For every usergroup that you do not want to have to see that.

I think this Code won't work, as $vbulletin is not within the Scope of the Postbit Class.

I can be wrong though.

Don't get me wrong the code does work, however, throws off the formatting.

I will get a screen shot when I get home.

I tried a few methods I found at vb.com and vb.org. This one is the only one that would work for me. Just one problem is that after I make a quick reply, the sponsoered link header apears BUT the ads do not show. In other words it hsouldn't show up at all. Oh well it got ads betwen the first and second post so I'm happy!

amy - you might want to check with Google. The way you have the ad placed inside the post may violate their TOS. You can email adsense and ask for a review.

^ Does anyone else get this problem after editing a post?..

I am not using this hack, but something similar i created myself, and i have the same if using quick reply. Doesn't bother me enough to search for a fix.

interestingly, I find I read the last post more often than the first post on many forums (except on this forum...where the first post is the meat and where the download is).

or at least, I read the last post first as that's what shows up on the forumindex, and many threads are ones I follow for new posts.

just making a point. ;)

Marco, my code fixes the quick reply problem.

Amy, I see on your site you have Adsense in your header, and also in the messages. Do you notice that sometimes the Adsense ads don't show up in the message thread, and are blank?

This happens often when there's multiple Adsense ads on the same page for me.

trilljester, not to answer for Amy, but I don't think that's an issue related to the hack, if there aren't enough ads to display or google adsense bot has not picked the page up yet, which is rare, it will display the alternate color or alternate ad you have in place. So just specify an alternate ad in your adsense code for those times when it doesn't show up.

Yep. Generally, my adsense goes to my alternate ad broker though.

Okie doke, I'll do that.

It looks great except when there's a quote in the last message, then it shifts everything off by a little. I'm torn now between using Amy's or the "just after the first post" deal. Hrmmm...decisions decisions... :nervous:

I tinkered with my quote template to make the div not have a width of 100%. When I removed that, it solved the problem.

Amy, can you please give me the link to your code? I just searched around and I wasn't able to find it but maybe I'm just overlooking it..

I set mine to 70% on both the div and table in my quote template and that fixed the problem. Thanks so much Amy! :cheeky:

might want to add it to postbit_legacy
