Add an advert into your redirect page

Time taken: 2 Minutes
Difficulty: Easy as pie
What it does: This will basicly just add an advert in the redirect screen. There is a screenshot attatched to show you what i mean.

You can also use this for Vb 3.5.x too

Thanks to Icheb - You shouldn't use AdSense here, because redirection pages wouldn't really count as content pages.


Go to:

Style manager --> [Style you want to edit] --> Edit templates --> STANDARD_REDIRECT

Now find:

PHP Code:

    <noscript>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=$url" />
    </noscript> 


And replace it with this:

PHP Code:

    <noscript>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10; URL=$url" />
    </noscript> 


This will make it so the redirect takes longer so you can see the advertisement. If you would like to change the amount of time it takes just edit the number in this bit of the code:

PHP Code:

content="10 


After find this code:

PHP Code:

                <p class="smallfont"><a href="$url">$vbphrase[click_if_browser_does_not_redirect]</a> 


After add:

PHP Code:

<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.adminpath.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.adminpath.com/delisiosso/misc/banner_right.gif"></a> 


Obviously change the url's to your desired url's.

No problemo guys . Any ideas on my next random one? lol

Looks good, I'd been wondering how to ad content to the redirect pages.

I'm not a coder, but am I right in understanding that if i were to add:

<if condition"$bbuserinfo['groupid'] != xx">

to your hack, i could then have it so paying members get a 2 second redirection whereas nonepaying/guests have a 5 second ad-infested redirection?

Lol "ad-infested" And yes i am pretty sure that would work

[karlm]

cool potatoes! I might look into this further....

Hey this is cool, but the timer info is a bit different than what you list.

This can stay as it is:

<noscript>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=$url" />
    </noscript>

but this:

var myvar = "";
	var timeout = 20;
	exec_refresh();
	//-->
	</script>

can be changed to extend the amout of time. For example, when testing this, I changed

var timeout = 20;

to

var timeout = 40;

and my redirect lasted twice as long.

I hope this helps!
