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

Bug fix: The ad code shouldn't appear on PMs any more (template change)

Install the plugin then at the end of the postbit or postbit_legacy template copy in the code as per the instructions at the top of this thread.

Info on how to edit templates and how to upload plugins is described in detail on the vBulletin site. http://www.vbulletin.com/

Brilliant! This is exactly the kind of ad placement that I was hoping to find. Tower and header/footer ads get ignored, and intrusive pop-over ads are just wrong. This is perfect!

Many Thanks!

where in the end why isnt there a find this and add below it like most plugins?

I did that and it didnt work, thats how simple it is

its only simple if you know what you are doing like anything is simple to ppl who know what they are doing, like I said why not have a find and put below that would make it simple

The instructions I gave are dead simple. I suggest that you:

• Read the instructions
• Read them again
• Read the instructions a third time
• Install it

If you still don't get anywhere then I don't think this hack is for you. Maybe get someone else to help you out.
