Adsense as a poster on your forums

So I've been playing around a bit with my new vb board, and figured out how to make it appear as if the "advertiser" has the second post on every page.

You can play around with the code some more to change some of the messages from the ones I have on there (i.e. posts: location:, etc)

For kicks, I have the "online" icon set to say "Google is online", so change this tag if you want it to say something else.

This was designed for "legacy". I do not know if it works for the new forum layout

You can also ad a custom ad "Avatar" as well. Just replace the "<!-- IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THE AD AN AVATAR, BUT IT HERE -->" with the code for the avatar.

Add this code to the END of your postbit_legacy template

PHP Code:

<if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1">

$spacer_open
<div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">


<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
    <td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal" align="left">        
            <!-- status icon and date -->
                         Sponsored Ads            
        </td>
        <td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal" align="right">
            &nbsp;
            #<a><strong>1.5</strong></a>
        </td>
        
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
    <td class="alt2" width="175">
            
            <div>

                <a class="bigusername" href="">Advertisement</a>
            </div>
            
                        <div class="smallfont"><div class="smallfont">Sponsored posting</div></div>
            <div class="smallfont">
                    &nbsp;<br />
                    <!-- IF YOU WANT TO GIVE THE AD AN AVATAR, BUT IT HERE -->
            </div>
                        
            <div class="smallfont">

            </div>

    <td class="alt1">

            <div class="smallfont">
                <if condition="$post['title']"><strong>Sponsored...</strong></if>

    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="alt2">
        <img class="inlineimg" src="images/statusiconrunes/user_online.gif" alt="Google is online" border="0" />
        &nbsp;
    </td>
    <td class="alt1" align="right">
    
        <!-- controls -->

</table>

</div>
$spacer_close

</if>

I haven't come across that error. I have quick reply enabled on my forums and it works just fine www.runeescape.net/Escape


Honestly, I'm not sure how to diagnose that one...any experienced coders around that could take a look at that?

[mholtum]

Any news on the postbit version?

[mikehawk]

Thankyou! *installed*

I really have no idea where to place this php code?
( in witch file should I add it )?

my forum: www.twentyfourforum.com

[Keyser520]

As far as the postbit version goes, Id suggest using one of the other adsense codes that has been shown here, as they already look a lot like the postibit. This one was designed for legacy.

You add it into your postbit_legacy template. Go to the admint cp, styles manager, and find that template. Add the code at the END of that template.

Nice! But do you know why in Firefox, the google ad "sometimes" has a white strip underneath it. Try refreshing a few times, and wait for it to appear. Using the leaderboard.
