Prevent AdSense on Specified Threads

[TommyC]

Thank you very much for the reply.

I decided to abandon the mod and just rely on template edits, using your idea of conditionals, which at first was working great. I setup my first ad block flawlessly (after much trial and error).

Then I move down to the footer, and suddenly it is as if vBulletin is unable to read IDs. That is, if I set a conditional to show the ad only if certain conditions are met, it NEVER displays the ad. If I set the conditional to show the ads with exceptions, it displays the ads EVERYWHERE regardless of the exceptions.

For example...

Using this to show my ads on forum 2:

<if condition="in_array($forum, array(2))">
AD CODE
</if>

Result = no ads displayed on any forum, not even forum 2.

Using this to prevent my ads from showing on forum 2, 3, 4, 5:

<if condition="!in_array($forum, array(2,3,4,5))">
AD CODE
</if>

Result = Ads displayed on EVERY forum, even forum 2,3,4,5


This carries over into other conditionals such as usergroup and threadid.

So to reiterate, one set of conditionals = working flawlessly. Other set appears to ignore IDs.

Why would this be happening? And how would I resolve it?

Thanks in advance.
