Randomly positioned ad in between postbits in showthread · **Released**: 10-09-2005

Inspired by this hack.

The ad is positioned randomly after one of the postbits. We use this for positioning adsense ads on visordown.com.

Install the attached plugin then add the following code to your postbit or postbit_legacy template:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$GLOBALS['adsense_position'] == $post['postcount'] && $GLOBALS['adsense_position'] > 0">
$spacer_open 
<div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 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">

<!-- ad code goes here -->

	</td> 
</tr> 
</table> 

</div> 
$spacer_close 
</if>

Changelog

v1.01
Bug fix: The ad code shouldn't appear on PMs any more (template change)

For some reason it is screwing up the page formatting when viewing private messages.

I've installed and no-one seems to care about my question, but nonetheless this hack only works in the PM's section with my site and nowhere else, and like you said it is messing up with the recipients name, it's adding an extra space and a ; to it.

Sorry this is one I didn't see as only guests on visordown.com have the ads turned on.

This problem can be fixed with a simple template change. I've adjusted the code listed above to include the additional condition: $GLOBALS['adsense_position'] > 0

Copy/paste the code you've put in your template and I'll try to help.

Just a shot in the dark, however, do you have the correct postbit template changed? Appears you are using the postbit_legacy so did you change that template?? The code goes at the very end.

I tried it both in Postbit and Postbit_legacy and it was all the same. It does not show up. I am using a test account I created and my normal admin account and the only place I see it is in PM's

Are you using the full conditional as per the template mod at the top of the page?

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$GLOBALS['adsense_position'] == $post['postcount'] && $GLOBALS['adsense_position'] > 0">

I wonder if that threaded view above your forums is messing it up? Looking at the code nothing really stood out as wrong??

You already installed the plugin right? Is it active?
