Need a Condition

[Zachery]

why not just put the ads in the description boxes of the forums?

Maybe something like this, a plugin using hook forumbit_display:

PHP Code:

global $forum_counter;
$show['forumbit_ad'] = false;
if ($depth == 1)
   $forum_counter = 0;
else if ($depth == 2)
   $show['forumbit_ad'] = ($forum_counter++ % 4); 


Then change your template condition to:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumbit_ad']">TEST</vb:if>

Thank you for F your efforts!

Unfortunately, it does not yet work properly.

Oh right, I think it should have been:

PHP Code:

global $forum_counter;
$show['forumbit_ad'] = false;
if ($depth == 1)
   $forum_counter = 1;
else if ($depth == 2)
   $show['forumbit_ad'] = !($forum_counter++ % 4);

It works. :up: But not in the first forum.

Hmm...well, I guess I'm at the point where I'd have to try it myself. Maybe I'll get a chance tomorrow.

[Forum-Germany]

I thank you from the heart! :up:

[kh99]

OK, try this:

PHP Code:

global $forum_counter; 
$show['forumbit_ad'] = false; 
if ($depth == 1) 
   $forum_counter = 0; 
else if ($depth == 2) 
   $show['forumbit_ad'] = !(++$forum_counter % 4); 


it seems to work for me, but I think it depends on your exact forum structure.

[Forum-Germany]

It works! You are the man!

Could you still extend the code on the last forum? So that's the last forum is detected?

[kh99]

The last child? Maybe something like this:

PHP Code:

global $forum_counter; 
$show['forumbit_ad'] = false; 
if ($depth == 1) 
   $forum_counter = 0; 
else if ($depth == 2) 
   $show['forumbit_ad'] = !(++$forum_counter % 4);
$children = array_values($vbulletin->iforumcache["$parentid"]);
$show['last_child_forum'] = (end($children) == $forumid); 


Then in the template

<vb:if condition="$show['last_child_forum']">LAST</vb:if>
