Space between posts in showthread

[steadicamop]

Hey all,

Done a search on this, but can't find anything that really matches what I need.

I've added some code into my postbit template, which adds Adsense - but I can't get the spacing right, whether I use a <br /> or a &nbsp; I just can't get it to the same size as it is between posts (see attachment).

The new code is within a <table> then <td> and <tr> - what can I used to add the same gap as by default - I've even used the same <table ... > code from the top of the postbit template in case that held something I was missing .... this is driving me nuts!

TIA

Jason

It should be <table><tr><td>Content</td></tr></table>. The screenshot is rather dark. Can you please post your code that you'll use for Adsense?

[steadicamop]

Here's what it looks like with a lighter style ... basically there is no gap between the end of the post and the Adsense block (it's all inside a table) - it's the gap between the bottom of the Adsense block and the next post I want to recreate ... just so it's uniform.

Thanks,

Jason

Vbulletin by default puts a space between each "post".

Your adsense just needs a space above it to make it uniform.

Thanks - but what sort of space do I need, a <br /> is too large and so is a &nbsp; - I have no idea what else I could use to make the space similar, failing that I will use a br tag.

Use something like:

In template:

<div style="height:3px"></div>

Change the "3px" to whatever value you want.

Thanks - I had totally forgotten about the div tag

After a quick test ... the div tag just puts it over the top of the next post - and doesn't create a gap between the post above and the Adsense table...

[Freesteyelz]

Please post your postbit code (or code that surrounds the Adsense code).

Here's all the code from the postbit template (included adsense code)

Try adding:

<div style="height:10px"></div>

After:

<if condition="(($post[postcount]==1) or ($post[islastshown] AND !$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->GPC['ajax']))">

I tested it using your Adsense code and it created a space between the first post and adsense Table. See if that is what you're looking for.
