Ad Management mod

[Mivi]

I have looked for a setting like that... but cannot find it.

Where is it located 

[Mivi]

Ok... vnm... i just forun the setting 

I must have been blind. 

[geezmo]

Anyone knows the answer to this question?

Not sure if this has been asked but I want to know how i can activate the ad after the last post of the thread. All I can see in the option is place the ad within posts but not how to put the ad after the last post.

Of course, I can't use "15" because if I did, the ad woulld appear only after post 15 so any post before that, there won't be any ad.

[Bigguy]

No, currently there is no way to show ads after the last post of a thread. Maybe in the next version.

[geezmo]

Ok thanks. I'll just manually code it then.

[Bigguy]

You could ask at www.smfads.com Jerm might know a way to do this. It might make things simplier for you.

There isn't an option as of yet to do this.

Ok thanks, hopefully that can be added in the new version. For now, I'll just manually add the code.

Install the mod and then download your Display.template.php. In that file find:

Code Select Expand

global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl, $modSettings;

BEFORE that add:

Code Select Expand


//Display ads on the thread page
$ads = show_threadAds();
if(!empty($ads))
if($ads['type']==0)
echo $ads['content'];
else
eval($ads['content']);
unset($ads);

In the SAME file find:

Code Select Expand

// Get all the messages...

and replace it with:

Code Select Expand

//Ad Counter
$adcounter =0;
// Get all the messages...
while ($message = $context['get_message']())
{
$adcounter++;

Lastly in the same file find:

Code Select Expand

</td></tr>';
}

and replace with:

Code Select Expand

</td></tr>';
if ($adpost = show_posts($adcounter))
{
echo '

<tr><td style="padding: 1px 1px 0 1px;">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr><td class="windowbg3">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="16%" rowspan="2" style="overflow: hidden;">

<div class="smalltext">
</div>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="85%" height="100%">
<table width="100%" border="0"><tr>
<td valign="middle"><img src="', $message['icon_url'] . '" alt="" border="0" /></td>
<td valign="middle">
<div style="font-weight: bold;" id="subject_', $message['id'], '">
<a href="', $message['href'], '">', $message['subject'], '</a>
</div>
<div class="smalltext">? <b>', !empty($message['counter']) ? $txt[146] . ' #' . $message['counter'] : '', ' ', $txt[30], ':</b> ', $message['time'], ' ?</div></td>
<td align="', !$context['right_to_left'] ? 'right' : 'left', '" valign="bottom" height="20" style="font-size: smaller;">';
if ($context['can_reply'] && !empty($options['display_quick_reply']))
echo '
', $reply_button, '';

// So... quick reply is off, but they *can* reply?
elseif ($context['can_reply'])
echo '
', $reply_button, '';

// Can the user modify the contents of this post?
if ($message['can_modify'])
echo '
', $modify_button, '';

// How about... even... remove it entirely?!
if ($message['can_remove'])
echo '
', $remove_button, '';

// What about splitting it off the rest of the topic?
if ($context['can_split'])
echo '
', $split_button, '';
echo '
</td>
</tr></table>
<hr width="100%" size="1" class="hrcolor" />
<div class="post">', $adpost['type'] == 0 ? $adpost['content'] : eval($adpost['content']) , '</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="bottom" class="smalltext" width="85%">
<table width="100%" border="0" style="table-layout: fixed;"><tr>
<td colspan="2" class="smalltext" width="100%">
</tr><tr>
<td valign="bottom" class="smalltext" id="modified_', $message['id'], '">
</td>
<td align="', !$context['right_to_left'] ? 'right' : 'left', '" valign="bottom" class="smalltext">
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/ip.gif" alt="" border="0" />&nbsp;', $txt[511], '
</td>
</tr></table>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>';
}

}

Then re-upload this file to the appropriate spot

thanks for the reply, i will try this one later. im in the office so i cant test it. hopefully it will solve the problem. again, thanks a lot.

[Bigguy]

Hope it helps.

[chinclub]

I just tried to install and got test failed for both index.template.php & Display.template.php.

I think I found the manual install for Display.template.php around page 53 of this thread so can someone tell me how to manually install on index.template.php.

Thanks!

[jerm]

Manually installs can be found here: www.smfads.com in the theme board.

[MoreBloodWine]

Looks really good and stable on the default theme... now I just need to "try" and get this to work on my cutom theme so I can start postin a few ads... also assuming you have the same permissions set for all the mods you have "like show top show bottom etc" will this circulate through the adds like the news does smf forums assumin you have more than one piece of news.. hope this makes sense...

[Bigguy]

If you have 2 ads marked to show in the same spot on the forum yes it will cycle through them. Not on every page refresh but you will see them change.

Cool... bec assumin I can get this to work on my custom theme i was considerin to sell ad space to people who play the game my forum is geared towards for the price of ingame gold / items...

Edit : Whats the curent cycling time between ads and can it be changed..

[Bigguy]

No it can't be changed and I really don't think there is a cycling time it just happens as you refresh the page or go from page to page if ya know what I mean.

[ivanstech]
