I want to be able to use two different ad codes depending on what style I'm using. If I use a fixed style (or a style specified in AdminCP) it would result in one code, and a fluid style would result in another.

One possible set up would be like this:

Ad Code 1:
Ad Code 2:
Select A Style for AdCode 1: (Click and hold Cntrl to select multiple)
Select A Style for AdCode 2: (Click and hold Cntrl to select multiple)

What do you think?

Yeah, That could be a nice add on.

Just use a div to contain the ads, but some ads uses a iframes.
And that's iframes are causing troubles when you use the quick reply and your post will have advertising. I'm trying to fix that.


Thanks all for your comments and sugestions

[dancue]

I asked about the iframes and float elements because someone mentioned that one of these is against google policy.

Does your mod violate any terms by google?

[elmati]

No, this mod respect the terms of google and every advertisement networks like linkshare.com.

your code will be something like this:
<!-- message -->
<div>
<div style="float:right">ADS CODE</div>
<div>Post message</div>
</div>
<!-- /message -->

That way is used in a lot of portals and websites without problems.

Best regards!

[dancue]

Thank you for clearing that up!

Can't wait for your next update! When do you think you'll have that one out?

[elmati]

i got a full time work so i'll work on this weekend

thanks for your interest.
Best regards!

[dancue]

ok. Thank you.

These would be very useful options:

1. Location: last post.

2. Disable ad in first post if thread is sticky.

3. "All usergroups" setting. Allot of mods use 0 to equal all groups.

Very nice mod, installed.

This seems to scruntch up the text in the posts - it pushes the text all to the left. Any idea what I missed that might cause this?

[intensecool]

Sir,

Exclude forums is not working for me...As i have put the forum id's which i do not want the ads to appear in postbit but it appears to be on the whole forum

Can you fix this

[elmati]
