How do I include $threadinfo in the headinclude template?

What do I need to do to include $threadinfo['replycount'] in my headinclude template?

I'm running header bidding, and I want to only include calls to certain ads if there are 0 replies, 1 reply, or more than 1 reply. Currently, inserting $threadinfo['replycount'] in my headinclude template doesn't return anything.

what is this going to do for you?

Would it be beneficial to look at having dynamic slots based on the number of posts using plug-ins?

This would allow you to have multiple slots... I have mine after post 3, 5, 7 and the last post of the page (default is 10 per page).

hook location - postbit_display_complete

Code:

global $ids; 



$excluded = 88; // my VIP usergroup for no showing ads 



if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $excluded) AND $post['postid'] == $ids[post_number] AND THIS_SCRIPT !== 'private') 

{ 

    $template_hook['postbit_end'] .= '

<CENTER>

     AD CODE HERE

</CENTER>'; 

}

I'm sure someone that is better than me can probably array the $ids for the posts to have 1 plug in as opposed to multiples....

credit to MarkFL for helping me initially with mine.

I think I'll be able to do this all in the SHOWTHREAD template. With header bidding, you need to first make a bidding call in the header, for every ad that will be shown on the page. So, for example, if a thread has 0 responses, you shouldn't make header calls for ads that show after post #2.

I believe the modulo operation in a conditional statement can do this best, at the top of SHOWTHREAD. So, since I show ads in the 1st and 2nd posts on a page (post #1, post #2, post #11, post #12, etc.), it will look something like this:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$thread['replycount'] % $perpage == 0">

MAKE HEADER CALLS FOR 1ST POST ADS ONLY

<vb:else>

MAKE HEADER CALLS FOR 1ST AND 2ND POST ADS

</vb:if>

Let me know if that looks good.
