Adsense after first post ONLY if there are more than X posts in the thread

Many forums use three ad units in their threads.. at the top, within the content, and then at the bottom. This mod was made with this kind of set up in mind.
The problem is the thread pages can tend to look horrible and overrun with ads if there is not enough content (say only a couple one line posts) between the ad units.

This isnt for everyone as some people prefer to keep all their ads showing no matter what.. but for those interested, this template modification only displays adsense after first post if there are over X amount of posts in the thread.

If you want everyone to see the ads you can remove the is_member_of AND line. Otherwise, you can add the user groups who you want to see the ads to it. (Don't forget to replace 'X' with a numerical value of your choice)


Place the following at the very end of the postbit template:

PHP Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2) AND !$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= X">
$spacer_open

<div class="page" style="width:100%; text-align:left">
    <div style="padding:0px 0px 6px 0px">    

        <table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
        <tr>
            <td class="alt1">
            
                <div align="center">
                 <!-- adsense goes here -->
                </div>
            
            </td>
        </tr>
        </table>

    </div>    
</div>

$spacer_close 
</if>

Be sure you've placed the ads code correctly.

I've tried everything but can't get this to work, here is what I have been using:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) AND !$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= X">
$spacer_open

<div class="page" style="width:100%; text-align:left">
<div style="padding:0px 0px 6px 0px">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1">

<div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0348024283260953";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 15;
google_ad_format = "728x15_0ads_al";
google_ad_channel ="";
//</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script> -->
</div>

You are using your quick reply right?
Try changing:

PHP Code:

!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] 


To this:

PHP Code:

$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1

Change X to a numerical value of your choice (like 3 or 4)

[CB88]

Tried that and it still does not work, used the number 3 instead of "x"...any suggestions?

[Moparx]

it should be working fine for you then... it is definately added in the postbit template right?

[Gallio]

Do you have a preview?

[CB88]

Yep...dunno what te problem is

[shadowdancer36]

I can't get this to show up for some reason. Is it compat with the newest ver of VB?

lol... thats dumb...

replace your

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) AND !$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= X">

With

<if condition="!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= 3">

You dont need to list every user group if you want it to show to everyone...
