Hi

I made this template mod for my medical Forum and I decided to share this with you

This hack is for forums that use the standard Postbit Template

If you use the postbit_legacy template >> click here <<

What this hack does:
This modification displays adsense as second post in every thread.
Guest see a post like adsense with a product Referral (firefox in this code) and a large rectangle as post content. Members only see a standard banner so they don't get annoyed by the big advertising. I also included an information for guests, that they see a different not so disturbing ad if they register. This serves to purposes, one is to get more members to register of course the second purpose is to blend the advertising better into the post layout.

ADD-ON:
In addition you can add a Google Adsense link unit as last post of a thread on any page for members and guests. This advertising will only show if the thread has more then one post so that it does not show 2 advertisings directly below each other in case that the thread has no replies yet. Google Adsense has updated its ToS so that you are now allowed to use up to three link units on one page. So if you already use my "Adsense Link Unit in Navbar" Mod there woun't be a problem.

See screenshots

You now just need to customize the adsense code marked with:




Add-on:


replace "YOUR PUB ID HERE" with your pub-ID and fit the colors of adsense to your color scheme

Demo: Elternfragen.net - Das Forum f?r Eltern mit (medizinischen) Fragen Just go into any thread.

I hope you like it and if you do, don't forget to mark es installed

Changelog:
v1.15 - 2007/07/22: NO CHANGES, just removed my Pub-ID from the hack!
v1.15 - 2007/06/11: Add-on - Google Adsense Link unit as last post of every thread for guests and members.
v1.1 - 2007/05/06: Condition altered to show advertising as second post on every page, not just the first.

what do u mean? I thought soon as I ad that code..the ads should come up? I did just add google ad at the footer of my forum and they start running asap.

StarBuG · #53 04-19-2007, 03:47 AM

Read the adsense FAQ.

This is not a problem of this modification, it is a normal adsense behavior

So how long does it take?

StarBuG · #55 04-19-2007, 02:45 PM

Normaly 3-5 days.

Take a read in the forum I suggested above.
You'll find every question answered there plus hundrets of tips to improve your adsense earnings.

StarBuG · #56 05-06-2007, 07:43 AM

I have changed the condition to show the advertising on every page as second post, not just on page one.

The old condition was:

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND  $post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrfirstpostid'] AND ($show[member])">

the new condition is:

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND !$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND ($show[member])">

Simply replace the old conditions (2x) with the new one and the ads will show on every page of every thread as second post.

StarBuG

The hack is now version 1.1

Best regards
