Ads within first post

[wenchupover]

At the moment I have google ads appearing within the first post, to the right, just as you do on these forums. It has been so long since I put that coding in that I forget what it is I need to do to have it viewable to ALL. At the moment the ads are only viewable by guests. Can someone tell me what I need to delete or edit please. Thanks guys.

<if condition="(($post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1)) and ($show['guest'])">
<span style="margin: 2px; float: right; width: 301px; height: 251px;">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* 300x250, created 2/15/08 */
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></span>
</if>

eliminate the IF statements in the beginning and end.

<if condition="(($post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1)) and ($show['guest'])">

</if>

Use the ad manager and you just need this:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* 300x250, created 2/15/08 */
google_ad_slot = "xxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Thanks Joey

I haven't in the past been able to use anything else much other than what I have when it comes to ads in the first post as anything else I do to achieve this messes with other hacks that I need to have for my particular forum.

I tried doing this and it messes up all other posts in the threads by having quote: in text, then a large gap before whatever was in the post. It was as if it was leaving a space in the position the ads in the first post held. Hope that made sense. Any advice?

I wish I could use the ad manager but I run 3.6 still due to the amount of hacks I have and wish to keep. Anything else seems to mess with hacks I do have.

You didnt tell me this was for 3.6
To upgrade, You just have to update the hacks. Most hacks either were updated for 3.8x or already work with 3.8.



Ok - try this:

In postbit template replace

 <!-- message -->
  <div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>
   <!-- / message --> 

with

<!-- message -->
<if condition="(($post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1)) and ($show['guest'])">
<span style="margin: 2px; float: right; width: 301px; height: 251px;">
        ADSENSE CODE HERE
</span>
</if>
    <div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>
              <!-- / message --> 

you will have to replace ADSENSE CODE HERE with the actual code.
The code is for 300 * 250 Medium Rectangle Format,Edit width & height parameters if you want to use any other format.
Ad is shown on the first and last post (modify if you want)
Ad is shown to guests Only ( remove "and ($show['guest'])" to show to all)
