Ad space

OK, how do I place ads under the first post. I have GAB from the geek, but i need some other type of code to make it work under the first post.

this is what we use
Randomly positioned ad in between postbits in showthread - vBulletin.org Forum

hmm, so how would i know which one of the geek codes to use, so that I may control what ads show up in that area?

I also found this. I just do not know what it means.

Create a new plugin

--------------------------

Then at the very end of my postbit template, I put:

PHP Code:

  <if condition="($post[postcount] % 16 == 0) OR ($post[postcount] == 1) AND THIS_SCRIPT=='showthread'"><div align="center">

$GAB_ads[1]</div>

</if>

That puts a gab block after every 1st or 16th post (I have 15 posts per page). The only hitch with this is that if there are soft deleted posts, on subsequent pages, the position moves down one. I havent been nothered enough to look into it any further.

HTHs give you an idea

This is what I need. I need to have the ads on every page, in the redirect, in VBA, in the first post of every thread. I also want to control what ad shows up where and when. For each ad and location, I want to control the ads that shows up. any real feed back would me helpful.

on the link I posted, there is a part ( i think, I'm in class so I can't look ) that looks like

<-- google ad here ---->

this is where you'd put $GAB_[1] or w/e the variable is

I'm not that familiar with GAB unfortunately

Brandon, how did you get the ads in the link area. I have the geeks GAR and I would like to place ads in that area. not just random ads, I want to control what that guest can see.

**Brandon Sheley** · 12-07-2006, 06:15 PM

in what links area ?

**joh** · 12-07-2006, 06:30 PM

the ads you have here http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f42/

**Brandon Sheley** · 12-08-2006, 08:26 AM

oh, just a sec, let me get a link

this was the first thing I looked at but it seems like this isn't what I used

Template Module - The vB Geek

I just created a new module in GAR's and assigned a template to it,, then I can move the module and edit the template to show w/e I want.

**joh** · 12-08-2006, 09:16 AM

OK, that is too advance for me.

**Brandon Sheley** · 12-09-2006, 10:17 AM

I can set it up for you on your site, and I'll let u know the template to edit

**joh** · 12-09-2006, 10:43 AM

Ty, we have so much other stuff to get done, i just want to do the easy ones.
