Randomly positioned ad in between postbits in showthread

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:

<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)

If you're running in "legacy postbit" mode (user info goes at the left hand side of posts) then you need to edit the template postbit_legacy instead of postbit.

You also haven't clicked install for this mod

Hello again,

Just wanted to say that this was an excellent hack. Clicked Install. Now, if it generates some cash I'd be happy to donate a little

One newbie type question that has me stumped. I want to make the ads visible to non-registered guests, Users awaiting EMail confirmation and to those who have a post total of less than 50. I know this really goes beyond the realm of this hack, but if anyone can clarify this I would be grateful. For some reason I can't grasp this and I'm sure it super-simple.

Here are my default usergroups and their Usergroup I.D.s:

(COPPA)-4
Administrators-6
Moderators-7
Registered-2
Super Moderators-5
Unregistered-1
Users Awaiting EMail Confirmation-3


Now here are my Usergroup Titles/Minimum Posts/I.D. #

New Member/0/1
Junior Member/20/2
Member/50/3
Senior Member/100/4


How can I edit the hack so that after a minimum post requirement a user can be "ad-free"?


Thanks!

Great hack & works fine.
Thanks Jimbo

I believe this would be done by adding a new usergroup and having users automatically promoted to it after 50 posts, then using the "if" by usergroup as explained earlier in the thread. Unless an "if" can be done by postcount, I am not sure.

Thanks T.S., I would ideally like to keep my usergroups/usertitles and have this handled by a conditional if possible..but if that can't de done, I'll try anything.

Try this

<if condition="$post[posts] >=50">

Jimbo's code

</if>

[dssart]

Thanks T.S.!

The first "if" line would go before Jimbo's first line of code in his hack and the last would go after his last line correct?

I just noticed that I placed the < the wrong way. I turned it around and tried it on my own forum, but still couldn't get it working. I am still learning.

Hi, so is the ad displayed right after the 1st post on the page? I would like it to do the following.. is this possible:

a page has 2 posts the ad appears after post one, the page has 4 posts the ad appears after post2, page with 10 posts on it the ad appears after post5. This way the ad is always kept in the center of the postings. Thanks for any info!
