Mini Mods - A Neater Google Adsense After First Post

Ok, so i haven't found any google adsence products for vb 4 yet that sit neatly under your first post only, on every page. Credits to Miko and my self for a few tiny edits.

How To Install
Step.1:
GoTo Postbit Templates>>open postbit_legacy and add at the very bottom:

<vb:if condition="$post['isfirstshown']">
<li class="firstpost_advert_container"><div class="firstpost_advert">
      REPLACE THIS WITH YOUR ADSENSE CODE HERE
</div>
</li>
</vb:if>

Step.2:
GoTo CSS Templates>>open additional.css and add this code:

.firstpost_advert_container {
    clear: both;
    display: block;
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: 12px;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    border: 1px solid #E5E6F4;
}

.firstpost_advert {
    with: 100%;
    background: #F1F1FA;
    border: 1px solid #fff;
    min-height: 90px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 7px;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

Feel free to customize to your needs, i had to mess around to suit my custom style. I changed the min-height to 90px for a neater look for 728x90 ads and changed margin-bottom: to 18px. But how the code is above is perfect for Vbulletin 4 Default.
DEMO: Teen Forums
Please Note: im not a coder, i just wanted to share this with others, its VERY easy to add to your styles and looks neat. Good Luck.
This coding is also different than Mod Version: 1.00, by Allan. You shouldn't have any problems with this and it will do you till a product version comes out.

Plugin is Active : Yes

This is just a simple counter that counts post per page.

Brilliant! This is working perfectly. :up:

Until now, I have not used plugins in this manner. I've tested this in a thread, and have verified that if there were less than 3 posts only the single ad was shown. For anyone else considering making their ads work the way mine here, here's the complete code below.

These are my conditions:

1) The ads will ONLY be shown to unregistered / guest users and a couple other groups - as indicated by the <vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1,3,4,8) section

2) There are TWO Google AdSense ads created, "vBulletin Forum Ad after First Post" which is shown after the opening post and "vBulletin Forum Ad Before Last Post" which is shown ONLY in a thread if there are 3 posts.

In postbit_legacy:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1,3,4,8) AND $post['isfirstshown']">
<li class="firstpost_advert_container"><div class="firstpost_advert">
<vb:literal>
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!-- vBulletin Forum Ad after First Post -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px"
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-***************"
     data-ad-slot="**********2"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
</vb:literal>
</div>
</li>
</vb:if>

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1,3,4,8) AND $post['islastshown'] AND $tbworld_postbit_postcount >= 3">
<li class="lastpost_advert_container"><div class="lastpost_advert">
<vb:literal>
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!-- vBulletin Forum Ad Before Last Post -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px"
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-************"
     data-ad-slot="*************"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
</vb:literal>
</div>
</li>
</vb:if>

Also, ad the "containers" that will show the ads in the threads (add this to additional.css in your style). Your border colors and sizes may vary.

.firstpost_advert_container {
    clear: both;
    display: block;
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: 12px;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    border: 1px solid #666666;
}

.firstpost_advert {
    with: 100%;
    background: #666666;
    border: 1px solid #666666;
    min-height: 90px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 7px;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

.lastpost_advert_container {
    clear: both;
    display: block;
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: 12px;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
    border: 1px solid #666666;
}

.lastpost_advert {
    with: 100%;
    background: #666666;
    border: 1px solid #666666;
    min-height: 90px;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 7px;
    text-align: center;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

Lastly, in order for the part where only threads with several replies will show BOTH the firstpost_advert and the lastpostadvert, add the plugin that tbworld provided above.

You may need to make multiple ad units via the Google AdSense control panel

Content > Ad units > New ad unit

Yeah it should just be a single ad after the first post. Double check the code in postbit_legacy and additional.css

Just in case anyone else is having trouble like I was with this on vbulletin 4.2.2, this wasn't working for me and I spent a good while trying to figure out why. Turns out the problem was I was using the wrong template.

I was using "postbit_legacy" as all instructions said to use. but I needed to just use "postbit".

After adding the code to "postbit" template, and then also changing the plugin mentioned above to reflect the same template - it now works brilliantly for me.

So, if your having trouble, try using the "postbit" template instead.
