Google Policy on showing competitive advertisements at end of this post:

Context: Time to make some neat money on google adsense. Well, this is a cute little plugin which enables an admin to show variable adsense or adbrite code on the first post of the thread/topic based on the length of the message. This helps in keeping in shape the demographics of the forum by keeping the things neat and tidy. You can visit my forums on my website and surf through some threads/topics to get a clear picture of what i am saying.

Installation Instructions:

Code:

Go to Plugin Manager > Add new Plugin

 Product: vbulletin
 Hook Location: postbit_display_complete
 Title: Google Adsense in Postbits Based on the Length of Message
 Execution Order: 5
 Plugin PHP code: $post['text_length'] = strlen($post['message']);

Now edit Template posbit or postbit_legacy

Find: 
<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>
            </div>

Add Below: (Put the following code where ever you feel like adding.)

	Quote:
	
	
		
			
				<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">
        <if condition="$post['text_length'] < 1200">
        <br>
        Google Adsense/Adbrite/Publisher Code # 1 Here
        <else />
        <br>
        Google Adsense/adbrite/Publisher Code # 2 Here
        </if>
        </if>
			
		
	
	
 Here, 1200 is variable to adjust the length of message to change your adsense accordingly.

You are done! You can play with this thing to add your own advertising banners or adbrite code as well.

Not that this has anything to do with the hack itself ... hack itself looks good.

Hello All

Just now i got a clear cut reply from google:

Great hack! I have it installed and it works well. Just one change I would like to see in any updates. If there is a way to exclude certain forums from grabing the google ads. that would be a big plus !

Thanks again

Is there a way to do this ?

Cueball · #29 10-19-2006, 04:46 PM

I have uninstalled this since there is little to no support for it. Maybe there is another similar hack out there? Anyone see a similar hack? Thanks anyway
