vb.org Archive - Show Thread Enhancements - Adsense as second post. 2 Sizes - Big for guests, small for members

Hi

I made this template mod for my medical Forum and I decided to share this with you

This hack is for forums that use the Postbit_legacy Template

If you use the standard postbit template >> click here <<

What this hack does:
This modification displays adsense as second post in every thread.
Guest see a post like adsense with a product Referral (firefox in this code) and a leaderboard as post content. Registered Members see a standard banner so they don't get annoyed by the big advertising. I also included an information for guests, that they see a different not so disturbing ad if they register. This serves to purposes, one is to get more members to register of course the second purpose is to blend the advertising better into the post layout.

ADD-ON:
In addition you can add a Google Adsense link unit as last post of a thread on any page for members and guests. This advertising will only show if the thread has more then one post so that it does not show 2 advertisings directly below each other in case that the thread has no replies yet. Google Adsense has updated its ToS so that you are now allowed to use up to three link units on one page. So if you already use my "Adsense Link Unit in Navbar" Mod there woun't be a problem.

See screenshots ;)

How to install:

In template postbit (legacy version) search:

Code:

<if condition="$post['userid'] AND $show['member']">

    <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>

    </if>

    </table>

</div>

You now just need to customize the adsense code marked with:

replace "YOUR PUB ID HERE" with your pub-ID
and fit the colors of adsense to your color scheme
