Ad location - Inside Last Post?

[ApplianceJunk]

I already use the ad location for 'Inside First Post', but would also like to create a new ad location for 'Inside Last Post'.

Just like I notice you have in the forum here.

I see were the code for "Inside First Post" was placed in Display.template.php

Just after...

Code: [Select]


// Show the member's signature?
if (!empty($message['member']['signature']) && empty($options['show_no_signatures']) && $context['signature_enabled'])
echo '
<div class="signature" id="msg_', $message['id'], '_signature">', $message['member']['signature'], '</div>';


is this code for "Inside First Post".

Code: [Select]


// Begin Ad Seller Pro Location - Inside First Post
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
{
global $sourcedir;
include_once $sourcedir . "/adseller2.php";

$adSellerAdData =  ShowAdLocation(6);
if ($adSellerAdData != false)
{
echo $adSellerAdData;
}
}
// End Ad Seller Pro Location - Inside First Post


I'm not sure though were to place a new ad code for "Inside Last Post".

Could you once again point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

So I found that if I change this ad code for "Inside First Post"

Code: [Select]

if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
to...

Code: [Select]

if ($message['id'] == $context['topic_last_message'])
It moves the code from the inside the first post to inside the last post.

Still playing around with it, but I maybe able to get it from here.

Yeah that is the variable I like having in the first/ last post

Ok, so now instead of trying to create a new ad location for "Inside Last Post" I have simply been trying to edit the current "Inside First Post" code so the same ad displays in both the first and last post.

This is of coarse the code for "Inside First Post"

Code: [Select]


// Begin Ad Seller Pro Location - Inside First Post
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
{
global $sourcedir;
include_once $sourcedir . "/adseller2.php";

$adSellerAdData =  ShowAdLocation(6);
if ($adSellerAdData != false)
{
echo $adSellerAdData;
}
}
// End Ad Seller Pro Location - Inside First Post


I have been working with this line of code.

Code: [Select]


if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])


Trying to combine, it with this as I can seem to have it display in the first or last, but can't seem to combine the two without getting syntax errors.

Code: [Select]


if ($message['id'] == $context['topic_last_message'])


Is there a correct way to combine the two $context code or I'm I just going about it the wrong way from the start?

Thanks,

Try

Code: [Select]

if ($message['id'] == $context['topic_last_message'] || $message['id'] == $context['first_message'])



[ApplianceJunk]

Try

Code: [Select]

if ($message['id'] == $context['topic_last_message'] || $message['id'] == $context['first_message'])



That works, of coarse.

I was not even close, but now i see.
I was looking for other examples in the template to try and figure it out, but was not even close.

Thanks!

I also see now how to create a separate ad location for "Inside Last Message".

This will help me track the difference between the google ad in the first post and last message.

The more I learn about your code the more I'm amazed at how much work you must have put into such a project.

Thanks again for helping to educate me.

[ApplianceJunk]

Ok, so it's not exactly as I want it yet.

Seems with

Code: [Select]


$context['topic_last_message']


 it only shows on the very last one.

So if one topic has multiple pages of replies I only see the ad on the very last message.

I would like to see the ad on the last message of each page, if that makes sense.

I see that is how your ad works here in the topic.

[ApplianceJunk]

I never did figure out why this only shows on the very last reply instead of the last reply on every page.

Code: [Select]

$context['topic_last_message']
How do you get your ads on your SMFhacks forum to show up on every last replay per page instead of just the very last reply for the topic?

I have no problem with this showing the code on the first replay of every page.

Code: [Select]

if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
If I have 30 replies to a topic and 10 on each page the 'first_message' ad is displayed on the first message of each page if that make sense.

I would like to get the topic_last_message to do that to and not just display on the very last reply.

Thanks,

On this site I used

Code: [Select]

if($context['last_message'] == 0 || $message['id'] == $context['first_message'])


[ApplianceJunk]

On this site I used

Code: [Select]

if($context['last_message'] == 0 || $message['id'] == $context['first_message'])


Just tried that and in SMF 2.0.7 it displays the ad inside every reply. Well with google I only see the ad three times, but then after that there is a large space in each reply were the ad would show if google showed more then three ads at once.

Is it different in SMF 2.0.7 then what code you use here for SMF 1.1.19

[SMFHacks]

It maybe different between those two versions haven't checked SMF 2.0.x

[ApplianceJunk]

On this site I used

Code: [Select]

if($context['last_message'] == 0 || $message['id'] == $context['first_message'])


I hate to be such a pest.
Was wondering now since you have switch to SMF 2.0.9 if the line of code you used above has changed.

Thanks,

Edited to add: Well now that I turned off my ad blocker on see you only display a google ad on first post with SMF 2.0.9 and not first and last post of each forum page as you did with SMF 1.x.x

I would still like to find a way to display a ad on first and last post of each forum page with SMF 2.0.9 like you use to do with SMF 1.x.x

[SMFHacks]

Try this and see if this helps

Code: [Select]

if($message['id']  ==  $context['topic_last_message'] || $message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
