Show Thread Enhancements - Digital Point Ad Positioning

About
This allows you to insert an ad into a random location within the post currently being viewed and/or insert an ad after the currently viewed post.

I made this a couple years ago for internal use and decided to release it because a few people have been requesting it.

Installation

• Install the product-dp_positionads.xml product under AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
• Go to AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Digital Point Position Ads for all your settings/options.

Notes

• You can control which usergroups see ads.
• You can control which forums the ads are inserted for.
• This addon works just fine with vBulletin 3 as well as vBulletin 4.
• The ads are inserted relative to the currently viewed post, not necessarily the first/last, etc. post in a thread.
• Requires no template edits.
• Our ad revenue more than doubled when we implemented this (and we opted to only use it for non-registered members).

Edit: I found the Issue:

Vbseo based on the standard url setup an url appear like that:

Mydomain/myforum-ForumID/mythread-threadID/#postXXXXX

Maybe the fact that is after a slash it create problem to the mod to reconize the post.
Maybe the developer can make an update where allow us to insert the post address.

Same issue here. Lets see if some one is kind enough to find a fix for this. :erm:

I think that the solution is on the vbseo-> URL REWRITE SETTING -> FORUM URL ->

If Shawn can tell us wich is the format of the url that the plugin made whe can make some test and find the correct url that will show the ads in the post that we are reading.

Please Shawn tell us how to do it so we can write a script to make it work also with vbseo

[digitalpoint]

It's simply keying on the p= variable in the URL.

[Valerio]

thank you shawn for your support and reply, so

My url for the "last post" link is this one:
http://www.My_forum.com/Notify-to-th...194/#post12088

So you mean that we miss for example

http://www.My_forum.com/Notify-to-th...ew-admin-2194/?p=2135161#post12088

and if Yes, with or without the question mark?

What is that parameter exactly? the post id ? or the post number?
thank you again

[Valerio]

I Asked to vbseo staff how to insert that p parameter in the url and this is the answer:

"That is not supported and breaks the point of vbseo's link consensus concept."

Now If shawn tell me what is exactly that parameter maybe...

[digitalpoint]

It's the p=1234 (think I said that in the previous post).

[Valerio]

Yes I understand shawn thank you, what I mean it is : what is is exaclty, post id, thread id or... what it represent the p parameter?
Thank you again shawn

in case, do you think we can mod your mod to relate to another parameter instead to the p= ?

[digitalpoint]

It's postid... the ID of the post.

[Kolbi]

It's possible with vBSEO, yes.

But vBSEO team means that inserting the postid would negative influence SEO.
