Innovative Ads After First Post

By:

I decided to make this while creating another modification as I have seen this requested many times, I Google'd it finding details on what template to edit plus I searched here on vbulletin.org and only found old "modifications" which were actually just tutorials and none were actual products that did most of the work for you .

Description:

Ad after first post on very page or as some describe it, Ad after first post in a thread - This modification places two ads in a post like container below the first post on every page in a thread. Fully customizable to allow all sorts of ad codes such as Google Adsense, OpenX Ads, and various others along with the possibility for the user to design his own images and link them to the appropriate content. Users can also customize CSS or remove the DIV codes to use show only one ad or any sort of advertisement and display any form of content other than ads!

• More information on vB4 Conditionals can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231525 Special thanks should go to BBR-APBT for taking the time to write that article.

Features:

• Enable or Disable via Settings in vBulletin Options.
• Fully Customizable.
• Auto-template.

Required Changes:
(Manual i.e. "To Do")

• Edit the new template postbit_legacy_ads_after_firstpost and simply add in your scripts or codes to show them which is very simple as I included commented out code to show you exactly where to place it. *This shows in Postbit AND Postbit_Legacy depending on what you have enabled.

(Optional i.e. If you need to adjust the css to make it match your style better if using a custom Fixed width etc.)

• Edit the new template adsafterfirstpost.css and adjust the css as desired!

(Automatic)

• Templates to add: 2 ('postbit_legacy_ads_after_firstpost','adsafterfir stpost.css')
• Phrases to add: 3

Difficulty:
Easy, Time to install: Around 1 Minute - Installer is included simply import the product;
AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > *Now click the [ADD/IMPORT PRODUCT] link to import from your computer (download below). Adding in your own codes and customizing if you see fit takes a few more minutes.

History:
8.24.2010: Version 1.0 Created

IMPORTANT:
In the postbit_legacy_ads_after_firstpost template please find:

<div id="innovativeadleft">
<vb:comment> Left Ad Code Below this Commented out line </vb:comment>
Left Ad Image/Code 1 needs to be placed here, no larger than 260 pixels in height.
<vb:comment> Left Ad Code Above this Commented out line </vb:comment>
</div>
<div id="innovativeadright">
<vb:comment> Right Ad Code Below this Commented out line </vb:comment>
Right Ad Image/Code 2 needs to be placed here, no larger than 260 pixels in height.
<vb:comment> Right Ad Code Above this Commented out line </vb:comment>
</div>

As you can see I have added in commented code to let you know where your custom ads codes need to be placed, very simple.

*Remember to enable the mod after installing otherwise it won't show!
AdminCP > Settings > Options > Innovative Ads After First Post and set to Yes.
*Attention- Please view the first page as the 2nd and 3rd (Added: Post #'s 6 & 7 also contain info on how to customize!) posts were reserved and contain additional information to help you customize this in various ways.

What can you expect in the next version?

• No template edits, Ads codes will be entered into the admin control panel area where the mod is currently enabled/disabled. If you have a custom style CSS changes will still be required if you notice any position issues etc.

Really good mod but it's starting to do my head in now.

The mod uses a template, in that template you define the <vb:if codes>

Here is the template:

<vb:comment>Start of Innovative Ads After First Post</vb:comment>
<vb:if condition="$show['guest'] OR $show['member']">
<vb:if condition="!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']">
<li class="postbitlegacy postbitim postcontainer" id="post_{vb:raw post.postid}">
	<div class="posthead" style="height:15px;"><span class="innovativetitle"><a href="register.php">Register to remove these Ads!</a></span>
</div>
	<div class="postdetails" style="height:320px;">
<div style="margin-top:20px;"></div>
<div id="innovativeadspan">
<div id="innovativeadleft">
<vb:comment> Left Ad Code Below this Commented out line </vb:comment>
Left Ad Image/Code 1 needs to be placed here, no larger than 260 pixels in height.
<vb:comment> Left Ad Code Above this Commented out line </vb:comment>
</div>
<div id="innovativeadright">
<vb:comment> Right Ad Code Below this Commented out line </vb:comment>
Right Ad Image/Code 2 needs to be placed here, no larger than 260 pixels in height.
<vb:comment> Right Ad Code Above this Commented out line </vb:comment>
</div>
</div>
	</div>
</li>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>
<vb:comment>End of Ads After First Post</vb:comment>

What would you modify to make a change? This line:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest'] OR $show['member']">

To show it only to guests make it this:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">

Getting ready to set up a vB site again. Would be great if this would only show if there was more than 2 posts in a thread..

I use to know how to do this... Guess I am going to have to learn all over again.

Hi,
How do I change the background color?

[markoroots]

Hi SuperMan can you make a great thing for us all???
Superman never say no especially the last one.
If you make a graphic interface to integrate the use of this plugin from the Admincp and add the possibility to decide where to add the banners, after the first post, after the second or the third, or each 3 posts more better...
I think you make one of the best mod on vb.org

Know that be making this, will be a really great mod.

Thanks for reading and blesses for you, others more if you do these implementations for us.

</div>

</vb:if>
<vb:comment>End of Ads After First Post</vb:comment>
