Adsense code in fake forum on forum home
I used this kind of template mod on previous vBulletin 3.8, but it didn't work any longer with version 4.xx so I made a new one.
What it does On forum home, it displays one or more adsense codes like forum. It behaves like one or more fake forums (see attached images). You can display it/them anyhere using the "display order" in forum manager. How to 1 - Go to admincp and create one or two new forums: Give them any name you want In the description, put your adsense code (it should be a 468x60px adsense block for a correct display), then these settings are important:
2 - Two templates must be edited:
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template is the forum category list In both template: Find: Code:
<h2 class="forumtitle"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}">{vb:raw forum.title}</a></h2> Code:
<vb:comment>Do not show title in these forums</vb:comment> <vb:if condition="$forumid != in_array($forumid, array(X,Y))"> <h2 class="forumtitle"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}">{vb:raw forum.title}</a></h2> </vb:if> <vb:comment>End of th title condition </vb:comment> The result is shown in the first attached image below. More... To catch visitors' attention, you may wish to display a different forum icon next to these adsense codes (see second attached image). To achieve this, you must edit the same templates. Find: Code:
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/{vb:raw forum.imageprefix}forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}-48.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" /> Code:
<vb:comment>New forum icon for adsense code</vb:comment> <vb:if condition="$forumid != in_array($forumid, array(X,Y))"> <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/{vb:raw forum.imageprefix}forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}-48.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" /> <vb:else /> <vb:if condition="in_array($forumid, array(X,Y))"> <img src="http://www.YOURSITE.COM/forum/images/search_results/search_results_socialgroup_discussion.png" class="forumicon"> </vb:if></vb:if> <vb:comment>End of new forum icon edit</vb:comment> The URL must be your forum URL. You can use the icon you want. This one is only an example (see second attached image) Download No files for download. Screenshots |
