This tutorial is written to show you how to use your Google Adsense codes efficiently in your vBulletin (3.5+) templates. I have a very heavily modified vBulletin style but i used the original style for this tutorial to be simple and match the colors. You can change everything as you want to find the most fitting results for your vBulletin.

Alternate ads-PSAs to Collapsible ads:

Quote:
Collapsing ad units are an optional advanced feature of alternate ads. A+ the collapsing ad unit code will 'collapse' your ad unit so that it takes up no page space if there are no relevant ads available. This allows you to minimize any blank space that would otherwise occur through the use of alternate colors.

To implement the collapsing ad units feature, you'll need to host a small HTML file on your domain. Your alternate ad URL will reference this file, which will be called if there are no ads available for that particular ad unit.
http://joomla.medspan.info/forum/index.php/topic,57.0.html

Create a HTML file with this code and save it as collapsible_ad.html:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd ">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title></title>
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/google_adsense_script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body style="background-color: transparent;">
</body>
</html>
Upload this file to your web server. (http://www.yourwebsite.com/collapsible_ad.html)

Go to your Google Adsense account and grap your google_ad_client and google_ad_channel codes. (google_ad_channel is optional)

Open Notepad and paste these codes as you will change them with youradsensecode and yourchannelcode on the following steps.

We will use these there ad layouts in this tutorial:

728 x 90 Leaderboard
468 x 60 Banner
234 x 60 Half Banner

...and one link unit:

468 x 15

Note: navbar template editing step is optional because it may be against the Google Adsense rules for you. If you edit navbar template, almost all of your vBulletin pages will have Adsense ads at the top of the pages. My navbar and header templates include some flash, gif and text content and i update them regularly. It's why i use Adsense ads in navbar. You may apply this step (the ad unit) manually to your FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, etc templates...

Open your navbar template: vBulletin AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Edit Templates > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar

(for the link unit)

Find:
Quote:
<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>
</if>
Add below:

Open your SHOWTHREAD template,

Add below:

That didn't seem to work. There's a slight gap between the end of the postbit and the ad.

How do I combine these condtionals?

Code:
<if condition="!in_array($forum[forumid], array(14,19))">
<if condition="$post[islastshown]">

Check the first post, it's in the postbit template.

You need this conditional:
Quote:
<if condition="!$post['islastshown']">

</if>
This should work.

Yes, but I need to combine them both into one, but not sure how to do that.

I think it should work that way, too.

Quote:
<if condition="!in_array($forum[forumid], array(14,19))">
<if condition="$post[islastshown]">
<<---ads--->>
</if>
</if>
Try this:
Quote:
<if condition="(!$post['islastshown']) and !in_array($forum[forumid], array(14,19))">
<<---ads--->>
</if>

Which template edit did you use and which code?

All edits should be ok with vBulletin 3.6 series.
