vb.org Archive - Help with hack of a hack

I'm trying to put an adsense ad after post 1 in the thread and after every 9th post afterward, which is working, but I am also trying to use a revenue sharing hack with those ads.

The 1st ad in the thread is working great but when I get to the ad after each 9th post, the $post[ad_client_id] (which is field6 in vb_userfield) ends up being null. I would like the ad to be that of the thread starter (same as ad that is working) .

Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Code:

 

<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1 OR $post[postcount] % 9 == 0"> 

<if condition="$post[userid] == $thread[postuserid]">  

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">

<if condition="$show['spacer']">

    </div>

    $spacer_close

</if>

<if condition="$show['spacer']">

    $spacer_open

    <div id="edit$post[postid]" style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px"><if condition="$show['spacer']">

    $spacer_open

    <div id="edit$post[postid]" style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">

    <if condition="!$post['islastshown']">

   <!-- this is not the last post shown on the page -->

    </if>    

</if>

<table class="tborder" id="post$post[postid]" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="100%">

<tbody><tr>

   <td class="thead" id="td_post_$post[postid]">  

   <div class="normal">

        &nbsp;

     </div>

    </td>

</tr>

<tr>

    <td class="alt1" align="center">

        <div>

     <!-- Adsense standard banner start -->

       <center>

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

google_ad_client = "$post[ad_client_id]";  <!-- is valid after post 1, but null after post 9

and I'd like it to contain field6 of vb_userfield of the thread starter -->

.

.

.

I guess the best question to ask is: How, once the ad is placed well into the thread, can I reference the thread starter to give him/her credit for the ad. I was told this line might do that...

Code:

<if condition="$post[userid] == $thread[postuserid]">

But it doesn't seem to point to field6 in vb_userfield I need to credit the correct members. It sees a null.
