different ads in different subsections

[colinizballin]

Is there a possibility where I can place ads in some subsections of my forum and different ads in different subsections? Hypothetically speaking if I was running a gaming forum and I wanted xbox ads in the xbox section and PS3 ads in the PS3 section. No I am not running a gaming forum but this is just an example. Thank you in advance to anybody who can help.

By the way, I have this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...hreadid=203948 is it possible to do it using this mod? or even without it?

Thank you.

You can use template conditionals in your templates:

<if condition="$forum['forumid'] == X">AD CODE</if>

where do you add it using the mod? any idea?

I am having a very similar issue, except I want to do it on all forums for a usergroup - if that is possible, that would be awesome - other thing is, where do we add the code you gave us?

The code would go into a few template depending on where you want the ads to show...

FORUMDISPLAY for a forum/ area
SHOWTHREAD for the thread
SHOWPOST for a single post view
postbit or postbit_legacy for post contents

--------------- Added [DATE]1234728769[/DATE] at [TIME]1234728769[/TIME] ---------------

To change ads by usergroup you would use the code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,10,20)>
ads for groupds 5,10 and 20
<else />
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 40)>
ads for 40
</if>
</if>

Sorry for my noobness with this stuff but where in the FORUMDISPLAY does the code go? Also, do you require the VB AD management mod for this to work?

[Ted S]

It goes where you want it to go. If you want the ad at the top of the page it could under $navbar, if you want it at the end of the page it could go above $footer and on and on.

This is a conditional where you're manually placing code so no other addons or systems are needed.

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

The conditional on line 563 appears to be missing its beginning tag (<if>). This may cause unexpected behavior.


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.

That is the error I get when trying to add your code. When I try the one from dismounted - i enter the fourmid and then nothing shows up.

If I just bypass it, nothing shows up.

My ads aren't showing up either, im putting them above $footer and nothing shows up.

Have you changed the forum id to your forum IDs properly? Are you editing the same page you're looking at?
