Show Thread Enhancements - Adsense Integration as last post - StarBuG optimized blending

Introduction:
I am StarBuG, a clinical Physician for Children, and I am running several health Forums to support patients with medical questions. During the many years I am running my Forums I constantly worked on optimizing my Advertising integrations to maximize my earnings and the user experience using my forums. The click through rates for my Adsense integrations are good to very good for forums and may increase due to further optimizations so mark this mod as installed if you use it to make sure you always use the best optimized version of my adsense integration.

What this mod does:
This mod adds a Google Adsense large rectangle after the last post of each thread if the thread has at least one reply.
It is blended to look like a regular post in your thread without violating google adsense TOS. Make sure you use the same colors you use on your forum to optimize blending!

Installation instructions:

in the template SHOWTHREAD find:

<div class="separator"></div>

and add below:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest'] AND !$thread[replycount] == 0">
<ul>
<li class="postbitlegacy postbitim postcontainer" id="post_{vb:raw post.postid}">
<!-- see bottom of postbit.css for .userinfo .popupmenu styles -->

    <div class="posthead">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img title="Alt" src="./images/statusicon/post_old.png" alt="Alt" border="0" /><span class="date">&nbsp;<a href="http://www.DOMAIN.COM/register.php" style="color:#FFFFFF; text-decoration:underline;">(No Advertising after the last post? Register now for free!)</a></span></div>
    <div class="postdetails">
        <div class="userinfo">
            <div class="username_container">
              <br />
                <span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:14px;margin-left:0px;color:#000000;">Advertising</span><br /><br />
                <img src="http://www.DOMAIN.COM/images/logo_ads.png" width="90px" height="90px" alt="advertising" title="advertising" />
                <dl class="userinfo_extra">
         <dd>Forumname.com</dd>
         <dd>has no influence</dd>
         <dd>on advertisings</dd>
         <dd>that are displayed by</dd>
         <dd>Google Adsense</dd>
        </dl>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="postbody">
           <br />
           &nbsp;&nbsp;<!- Your Google Adsense Code for a 336x280px large rectangle -->
         <div class="cleardiv"></div>
        </div>
    </div>
        <div class="postfoot">
            <div class="textcontrols floatcontainer">
                <span class="postcontrols">&nbsp;</span>
            </div>
        </div>
    <hr />
</li>
</ul>
</vb:if>

Additional Comments:
Make sure you change all lines marked RED to fit your forum.
For better blending I use my Websites Logo as "Avatar" to make it look more like a post. For the same reason I added the "we have no influence..." part below the "Avatar". You can remove the whole "userinfo_extra" part if you don't like the text.

This Advertising will only be shown if a thread has at least 1 reply because I display 2 large rectangles in each thread to guests. One after the first post and this one after the last. If a thread has 0 replies both advertisings would show below each other and that would be to much. If you don't use "Adsense Integration as second post - StarBuG optimized blending" simply remove the condition:

AND !$thread[replycount] == 0

I get the following error message when try to save change in template SHOWTHREAD

Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 3453

vBulletin Message
The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:
%1$s
This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

This code was written vor 4.0 version, I did not test it on 4.1x

However there is a much better placement then this.
That is the reason why I don't update this Mod anymore.
