Forum Display Enhancements - Google AdSense (or other) after post...

I found this cod on vublletin.org and did some customization, I found this very useful and good place for ads.

Show a banner/ad after first (or somewhere else) post, show it to guests | register users | users with less then X posts...

This is what I have:
- It will show ad/banner after first post on every page (instead of just the first page) but only to guests.

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> ? ? -> Postbit Templates ->
Edit postbit or postbit_legacy (depending on which layout you are using)

Find:

<!-- / post $post[postid] popup menu -->

After ad:

<if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1 AND !$bbuserinfo[userid]">
<div style="padding: $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px 0px 0px">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
	<td class="thead" align="left">Sponsored Links</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="alt1" align="center">
		BANNER CODE HERE
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

</if>

Here is how it will look like: demo ads

Here are several other conditions you can use in the above code to show the banner in different places. Simply replace the first "if" statement.

...after the first post on every page (instead of just the first page):

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

...after the first post, but only for guests:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1 AND !$bbuserinfo[userid]">

...after the first post, but only if the thread has at least 2 replies (so you never see a banner and only 1 post):

<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1 AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= 2">

...after the first post, but only in specific forums (where X,Y,Z is a comma list of forumids):

<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1 AND in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(X,Y,Z))">

...after every X posts (replace X with a number):

<if condition="$post[postcount] % X == 0">

...after the last post on every page:

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

...between the last and second to last post on every page (need to move the above code to the very top of the template instead of the bottom, then use the same condition as above):

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

You can use pieces of these conditions to do different combinations. For example, this condition will show the banner after the first post on every page (instead of just the first page), but only for guests, and only in certain forums (where X,Y,Z is a comma list of forumids):

<if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1 AND !$bbuserinfo[userid] AND in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], array(X,Y,Z))">

Neat and handy, works with adbrite on my 3.6.8pl2 install.

Visible to guests only of course

I used the "show to certain groups" and "show in certain forums".

"Installtime" less than 30 secs.

*clicks installed*

@induslady I'm sorry, I really don't know where is the problem, you should look at the code to si if the ads are generated or not, if they are then the problem is in your custom template.

@Phr34q you can use any advertisement code, it's

[Phr34q]

@goranbaxy, I know, just thought I'd put in in my reply so others can read that it's possible before they start a "help help can I use ...." post

[goranbaxy]

Oh, ok thanks!

The problem for you, induslady, is that you can only have 3 Google Adsense spots on each page. If you have more than that, the Adsense code just blanks out.

[ArnyVee]
