Yea I have got a lot of that with people looking exactly what I have made. Trust me I looked for the longest for one that looked decent so I just scrapped code and slapped one together that was easy and worked.
Now like dcz said the code goes in the viewtopic.php not the viewforum_body.tpl template file. If you want to use your phpMyAds just slap that code in place of the google AdSense code. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.
Like I said I am working on an admin function that will allow you to use mutiple ads just by adding them via the ACP. So you will be able to have a lot of different ad services. I.E. Google. Affilate Banners from other sites, etc. So with that you could use your phpMyAds and use google at the same time, it will just rotate on visit like it does not with the google ads, but it will be with all of the ads you enter. It is not on the top of my list to complete rigtht away but it is on my board to get completed in the near furture. |

Thanks for getting back to me Silverado05.
I love the sound of what you are planning and I think thousands of other forum owners will also.
Gr8 stuff.!! |

Ah ok, just wasn't sure if it looked different with other templates. I haven't tested it with any other templates that's why I was curious. I have seen the one you are using before. I didn't really like that one because it doesn't look natural. Different strokes for different folks though right...  |

| Silverado05 wrote: | Ok here is the code I wrote for a google bot. I don't know if you would actually consider this as a bot, but what it does is add your google adsense ads after the first post of each thread. Now I am working on a ACP function that will allow you to edit ads on the fly and how many ads to add. I.E. just after the first of every other post of 3 post etc. Also allow you to add banners ads that will rotate with your google ads if that is your flavor. This is a real simple code. One file to edit and two lines. I looked for something like this but none that actually worked or looked right. As you can see this flows nicely with your fourm and looks like google actually posted it. Anyways enjoy and if you have an ideas let me know.
Now it you notice at the bottom of the code it says YOUR ADSENSE CODE HERE you need to replace that with your adsense code of course. Also if you wish to use an advatar with it you need to uncomment the line 'POSTER_AVATAR' and then upload your image to your image dir. and then name it accordingly
If you would like to download the entire mode with the code change done this click below.
Google_Adsense_in_topics_1.0.zip
Now if you have a stock forum or have not made changes to the viewtopic.php then just upload this over your exsiting file. Upload the image to your image dir. and you are good to go and it works right out of the box with no changes. I would advise you to change to adsesne code though unless you wish to make me money.  The verison in the file uses the avartar. If you don't want to use it then just comment it like shown in the code below.
Screenshot is attached below
| Code: | <?php #
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
viewtopic.php
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
$row_color = ( !($i % 2) ) ? $theme['td_color1'] : $theme['td_color2'];
$row_class = ( !($i % 2) ) ? $theme['td_class1'] : $theme['td_class2'];
#

$num ++;
#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
'U_POST_ID' => $postrow[$i]['post_id'])
);
#
#-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
if($i == $ad_after)
{
$row_color = ( !($num % 2) ) ? $theme['td_color1'] : $theme['td_color2'];
$row_class = ( !($num % 2) ) ? $theme['td_class1'] : $theme['td_class2'];
$num ++;
$mini_post_url = append_sid('viewtopic.' . $phpEx . '?' . POST_POST_URL . '=' . $postrow[$i]['post_id']) . '#ad';
$template->assign_block_vars('postrow', array(
'ROW_COLOR' => '#' . $row_color,
'ROW_CLASS' => $row_class,

);
}

Yea but the cosmetics of that mod are kinda cheesey looking. It doesn't actually look like google or someone posted it. Which is the point of this mod I put together. I am working on the admin side of this that will have a lot of the same features as the inline banner mod, but with better looking results.
It is possible to list this mod after any post, just need to know how actually you want it done. After 1st and 5th or just after 5th. I mentioned this before, but this feature will be available in the next release from the admin side. I just wanted to whip something up that was simple and could be of use now that works. |
