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.

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.

I do need to do that, in fact meant to a loooooooong time ago then simply forgot so thanks for the reminder and of course when time permits .

Only one thing...
I add this code like was explained:

<vb:comment>Start of Innovative Ads After First Post</vb:comment>
<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] == 1 OR $post[postcount] % 11 == 0">

<div class="postbit">
<h3 style="color: rgb(189, 189, 189); font-weight: bold;" class="posthead">&nbsp;&nbsp;Sponsored Links</h3>

<div align="center" style="padding:3px;" class="postbody">
<!-- Begin CigClick Network Code -->
<div style="text-align:center">
<script language="javascript"><!--//
var server_client_id = 1189;
var server_ad_channel = 1;
var server_publisher_channels = "";
var server_media_types = "hybrid";
var server_integrate_media_types = 0;
var server_ad_width = 728;
var server_ad_height = 90;
var server_ad_style = "728x90_as";
var server_code_version = "4";
var server_ad_color_border = "7E8AA2";
var server_ad_color_background = "F7FAE0";
var server_ad_color_headline = "7E8AA2";
var server_ad_color_body = "000000";
var server_ad_color_url = "666EBA";
var server_ad_random = 1;
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://adsby.cigclick.com/ads/display_ads.php">
</script>
<!-- End CigClick Network Code -->

</div>

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


but in this way all the posts after the first are all visualized in a wrong way,
so I think that I make wrong something in the code.

Can someone help me please?

Thanks in advance.

Hmm seems as if you're trying to include a php script yet not so much... the script tags should work fine perhaps try using vb literal tags around your code, example:

<vb:literal>
ALL YOUR CODE HERE
</vb:literal>

As shown:

<div align="center" style="padding:3px;" class="postbody">
<vb:literal>
<!-- Begin CigClick Network Code -->
<div style="text-align:center">
<script language="javascript"><!--//
var server_client_id = 1189;
var server_ad_channel = 1;
var server_publisher_channels = "";
var server_media_types = "hybrid";
var server_integrate_media_types = 0;
var server_ad_width = 728;  
var server_ad_height = 90;
var server_ad_style = "728x90_as";
var server_code_version = "4";
var server_ad_color_border = "7E8AA2";
var server_ad_color_background = "F7FAE0";
var server_ad_color_headline = "7E8AA2";
var server_ad_color_body = "000000";
var server_ad_color_url = "666EBA";
var server_ad_random = 1;
//--></script>
</vb:literal>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://adsby.cigclick.com/ads/display_ads.php">
</script>
<!-- End CigClick Network Code -->
</div>

It would more than likely be best to have your code in a plugin, then have it insert the code instead of trying to insert into another mods template imo.

[markoroots]

Wow! Great bro, it work great.
Really many thanks for the mod and for your support.
It's a Great Mod, very very useful, so I have installed it and nominated.
So we are waiting for a better development of this wonderful plugin.
A very good thing would be also if is possible, to add also a counter for the click and for the visualizations recived, from each banner shown.
So please don't forget us and don't forget t develop this magic mod.


All the best

[e24h]

Great mod! Installed and nominated!

[markoroots]

I didn't see good the whole thread...
The banner is shown good, but the posts after the ads continue to be visualized in a wrong way.
What can I do?

[markoroots]

Any tip?

Working fine on 4.2.2 maybe update your script

[TheLastSuperman]

^ Use v4 of the script, it will work on 4.2.2:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 Beta 3" maxversion="4.2.3" />

Alternatively, you can use (Google it, its not windows notepad its actually named NotePad++ ) Notepad++ to edit any of the other three versions, you'll see a snippet of code at the top like I posted above but the Max version will be lower, edit and remove the old max version and type in 4.2.2, save the file, now install the mod and it won't stop you.

[markoroots]

Ok many thanks, I fix it.
