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)

LOL NP, after you do that you should be all set...now if you want ads to only be viewed by guest or by certain usergroups, you will need to add a conditional:

PHP Code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,array(1,2,3))"> 


where 1,2,3 are the numbers of the usergroups you do not want to see the code.

This may be a stupid question but did you replace the <!-- ad code goes here --> with your google adsense or Yahoo code?

[Gottcha]

good question and i did replace the code with my adsense code.

i also checked another forum from a member on here and didnt see the ads there either

this is the other site....again i see the bar but no ads under it

Some things that I did wrong you want or may have already done.

- Make sure the forums threaded and Display options under VBULLETIN OPTIONS is turned off.
- Make sure you uploaded the pluging through the browse option and not manually.
- Place the code in Postbit at the bottom, or try the Postbit_legacy
- Try logging in with a test account set to normal user. Maybe because you are an admin or mod you can't see the ads.
- Double check your adsense code since the pluging seems to be working.

Whats a link to your site I'll look around see if I have any luck.

I am seeing the banners and bar so maybe you have some kind of AD blocker or remover.


EDIT: I just went to your site and I can see the ads just fine.
