Hi

I made this template mod for my medical Forum and I decided to share this with you

This hack is for forums that use the standard Postbit Template

If you use the postbit_legacy template >> click here <<

What this hack does:
This modification displays adsense as second post in every thread.
Guest see a post like adsense with a product Referral (firefox in this code) and a large rectangle as post content. Members only see a standard banner so they don't get annoyed by the big advertising. I also included an information for guests, that they see a different not so disturbing ad if they register. This serves to purposes, one is to get more members to register of course the second purpose is to blend the advertising better into the post layout.

ADD-ON:
In addition you can add a Google Adsense link unit as last post of a thread on any page for members and guests. This advertising will only show if the thread has more then one post so that it does not show 2 advertisings directly below each other in case that the thread has no replies yet. Google Adsense has updated its ToS so that you are now allowed to use up to three link units on one page. So if you already use my "Adsense Link Unit in Navbar" Mod there woun't be a problem.

See screenshots

How to install:

You now just need to customize the adsense code marked with:




Add-on:


replace "YOUR PUB ID HERE" with your pub-ID and fit the colors of adsense to your color scheme

Demo: Elternfragen.net - Das Forum f?r Eltern mit (medizinischen) Fragen Just go into any thread.

I hope you like it and if you do, don't forget to mark es installed

Changelog:
v1.15 - 2007/07/22: NO CHANGES, just removed my Pub-ID from the hack!
v1.15 - 2007/06/11: Add-on - Google Adsense Link unit as last post of every thread for guests and members.
v1.1 - 2007/05/06: Condition altered to show advertising as second post on every page, not just the first.

I found the resolution...

In order to not show this to a particular group (difference here being this works even if it's not their MAIN group), insert this code instead..

Code:

<!-- Google AdSense in Posts for Members -->
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND  $post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrfirstpostid'] AND ($show[member]) AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, X, X)">

Where X, X, X is the usergroup id's you DON'T want to see the ads. Mine is 14, which is my premium group, and I also added my staff groups. I want everyone else to see them. Of course if a person is a guest, he'll still see the large format ads.

Hope that helps someone...

StarBuG · #33 02-14-2007, 07:05 AM

Yes, that works as well

Glad you figured it out

If you lose the ! before "is_member_of", the statement will only include the usergroups you named (X) by the way

Cheertobi · #34 02-20-2007, 06:39 PM

What is this condition good for?!

Code:

<if condition="!$post['islastshown']"><!-- this is not the last post shown on the page --></if>

Tobi

StarBuG · #35 02-21-2007, 06:14 PM

This code is copied from the "postbit_wrapper" template.

Here it does not serve any purpose.
I just forgot to take it out.
You can delete it if you want.

It is just an html comment that is added when the the above post is followed by another one.

2 FN LOW · #36 02-27-2007, 08:32 PM

how do you know what postbit you use?

StarBuG · #37 02-28-2007, 02:30 PM

If you are asking that, then you are using the "postbit" template

To use the "postbit_legacy" template you have to copy the content from that template to "Postbit"

ccmoon · #38 03-17-2007, 03:55 AM

Thanks for this great hack. However, I don't like guest to see the "wide" ad, it looks early that way. How do I make guest will see ads the same way as registered users?
Thanks

StarBuG · #39 03-17-2007, 07:05 AM

If you want everyone to see the same ad you don't need the coditions.
Simply only use the member code and get rid of all the rest.

use this:

Code:

<if condition="$show['spacer']">
    </div>
    $spacer_close
</if>

<if condition="$show['spacer']">
    $spacer_open
    <div id="edit$post[postid]" style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">
    <if condition="!$post['islastshown']"><!-- this is not the last post shown on the page --></if>    
</if>

<table class="tborder" id="post$post[postid]" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tbody><tr>
    <td class="thead" id="td_post_$post[postid]">
   <div class="normal">
        &nbsp;
     </div>
    </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="alt1" align="center">
        <div>
     <!-- Adsense standard banner start -->
      <script type="text/javascript"><!--
      google_ad_client = "pub-5988350962952956";
      google_ad_width = 468;
      google_ad_height = 60;
      google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
      google_ad_type = "text";
      google_ad_channel = "5238041056";
      //--></script>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>
     <!-- Adsense standard banner End -->
        </div>
    </td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

then everyone including members, guests, admins, mods etc are seeing your ad as second post.

DiSpy · #40 03-31-2007, 04:50 PM

Hi,

How can I change this so that it shows up as the last post on a page? (instead of the second post)

THANKS!

use this as your 1st IF statement:

Code:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == 10">
