Ads after first post

[Greg]

Hey,

I have seen alot of people wanting to have adverts between posts so I will write this short tutorial on how to do it.

There is currently a mod that does it but if you want a quick and easy method just use this.

This idea was based upon CyberAliens idea from various posts.

[code highlight="15"]
#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
templates/subSilver/viewtopic_body.tpl
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- END postrow -->
#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<?php if($postrow_i == 0) { ?>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center" class="row1">
put here your ad code
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
#
#-----[ SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES ]------------------------------------------
#
# EoM
[/code]

That will put an advert after the first post on each page of the topic.

If you are wanting to put an advert after the first cat. Do this;

[code highlight="15"]
#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
templates/subSilver/index_body.tpl
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- END catrow -->
#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<?php if($catrow_i == 0) { ?>

<div align="center">
Ad code here
</div>

<?php } ?>
#
#-----[ SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES ]------------------------------------------
#
# EoM
[/code]

And there we go, it is really that simple. The thing the remember with adsense (tutorial mainly aimed at adsense users) is that you must experiment to find the best place for your ads.

As with all tutorials in the the extreme styles mod tutorials they need XS mod.

If you would like to show the ads in between posts/cat. for guests only use this.

For in between cat.

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
templates/subSilver/index_body.tpl
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- END catrow -->
#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_out -->
<?php if($catrow_i == 0) { ?>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center" class="row1">
put here your ad code
<br />
<a href="{U_REGISTER}">Register to remove this advert.</a>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
<!-- END switch_user_logged_out -->

#
#-----[ SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES ]------------------------------------------
#
# EoM
[/code]

Or for after the first post:

[code highlight="16"]
#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
templates/subSilver/viewtopic_body.tpl
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- END postrow -->
#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- BEGIN switch_user_logged_out -->
<?php if($postrow_i == 0) { ?>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center" class="row1">
put here your ad code
<br />
<a href="{U_REGISTER}">Register to remove this advert.</a>
</td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
<!-- END switch_user_logged_out -->

#
#-----[ SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES ]------------------------------------------
#
# EoM
[/code]

Have fun,
Greg

When I put it on my forum, it added an advertisement after each post (or sometimes the first few...weird), not just the first. Any ideas?

[Thatbitextra]

Do you have eXtreme Styles mod?

[giggle]

Same here, it added an ad area after every post, however I do not have the extreme mod. Will this cause the problem?

I also noticed the ads don't show in Firefox browsers on this site.

[DooBDee]

you can not use PHP in templates without extreme styles mod

This forum is about tutorials for extreme styles mod, so all code requires it.
[quote user="giggle" post="37227"]I also noticed the ads don't show in Firefox browsers on this site.[/quote]
Its not about a browser, but about your login status. I show those ads only for guests.

[giggle]

Thanks CyberAlien, works fine now that I have the xmod added.

[Nicolas]

What is the script, to say, signup, and remove this banner?

Like what you have, you register, no more ad.

So it would be like this


|-------------------------------------------------|
| |
| | <-- Thats the ad
| |
|-------------------------------------------------|
Click here to signup and remove this ad
^^Thats the link to the signup page

What sould be the code for that?

Yea, you need to recode that only for guest thing.

[Nicolas]

Here is a better mod.
Easier to change the code too.

More steps, but I think its better.

Hi Greg,

II was reading your post thinking it might be something I want to add to my sight. When scrolling down I noticed in your links one for Health and fitness. If this is a special interest of yours, my site could really use your help. It is about controlling diabetes and other medical conditions with good nutrition. You may check it out at http://www.nutricoach.net. I am very new to php and phpbb in particular and trying to learn all of this is a bit difficult for an old man with not a good technical background and unfamiliar with many of the terms used. I seems every time I have something I want to do it takes from 2 days to 2 weeks to figure out how to do it. I could use someone who knows their way around PHP.[/url]
