Randomly positioned ad in between postbits in showthread · **Released**: 10-09-2005

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:

HTML Code:

<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)

This plugin displays the ad in a different random position with each page load.

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!

I could write this for you. Drop me a PM with an idea of how much you're willing to spend on it.

"postbit" and "postbit_legacy" are the name of "templates". Sets of "templates" are stored in "styles".

Check out the "styles & templates" section in the vB documentation here

Shout if you have any problems.

Any 3.6 update coming out? This version works for me on 3.6 but doesn't quite look right. :banana:

Good one. Installed.

Bulent Tekcan · #**204** 08-04-2006, 09:58 PM

Any news for 3.6.0 ?

dssart · #**205** 08-05-2006, 09:52 PM

Hope this can work with 3.6, really looked great pre-3.6..

nsusa · #**206** 08-06-2006, 01:12 AM

Works for me in 3.6. The only thing I had to change was to remove the $spacer_open and ...close as otherwise it would not go 100% in width in my case.

great hack, I saw earlier in the thread about making the ads show up after the first unread post...has this been done yet?

*clicks install*

Hi, do you know how to make the space above and below the box equal to the normal space between posts? I've been trying with no success.

almukmin · #**209** 08-09-2006, 08:36 AM

I got the fix, change it to

<div style="padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px 0px 0px">

and remove the spacer open and spacer close

This is for 3.6.0

dssart · #**210** 08-09-2006, 09:18 AM

Hi,

after we remove the spacer code from the top and bottom, where does the div style code go..at the very top? Thanks.
