New Ad Location - Below Postbit Signature
![]() Developer Last Online: Mar 2013 ![]() ![]() ![]()
What it does?
Have you wanted to add a new Ad Location below the signature in each Postbit where you can place text ads or banner ads? File Edits: 2 Template Edits: 2 New Templates: 1 *** This has only been tested with vBulletin 3.8.1. *** Instructions 1. Make a backup of your Class_Postbit.php and your Showthread.php. 2. Open the Class_Postbit.php in your forum includes folder and look for:
(Note: The ending "}" should be on or around line 300.) 2. Add the following code below it:
3. Save the file. 4. Log into your AdminCP, and go to: Styles & Templates => Styles Manager => Master Style => Add New Template Product: vbulletin Title: ad_showthread_below_sig Template:
Note: I had to add the new template to the Master Style in order to get it to show up under existing "Ad Locations Template" group. 5. Save your new template. 6. Now, make the following edit to your Postbit and Postbit Legacy templates: Find:
7. Add the following below:
8. Save template and do the same in Postbit_legacy. 9. Open showthread.php in the forum root folder and look for:
9. Insert "'ad_showthread_below_sig', in between "'ad_showthread_firstpost_start'," and "'forumdisplay_loggedinuser'," which should look like this when done:
10. Save the file. 11. Upload your edited showthread.php to your forum's root folder, and class_postbit.php file to your forum's includes folder overwriting the existing file. Optional: If you use an ad rotation system such as OpenX, you may need to create a new plugin using the "postbit_display_start" hook for the ad to show up. If you have questions, let me know and I'll try to help as much as I can. Make sure you Click Install if you use this!!!

What version of vBulletin do you have installed? Also, what type of ad did you put in the ad location?

Are you using the sample template content I posted in the hack or something else? if you put in some plain text it should show up. It didn't show up for me at first until the template was recached.

Ok.. I've been able to replicate the issue and will post a fix shortly.
Edit: I left out the step where you need to add the $ad_location[ad_showthread_below_sig] to the Postbit and Postbit Legacy templates. 1. Open your Admincp and go to : Styles & Templates => Style Manager => Master Style => Edit Templates 2. Find the following hook location in your Postbit and Postbit Legacy templates:
3. Add the following ad location below it: Note: I did this with the thought that maybe you might want to do some calculation in the signature end hook to be included in your site signature. Just a thought. ![]()
4. Save your templates Now it should show up. My apologies for missing this.

It would be nice if it was default, but seems like a lot of work when you could just add the banner code in the postbit template, or openX
Keep up the good work ![]()

Sorry.. how do I exactly put in a banner/text ad.. could you please give me step by step guide to it?
and what type of banner links can I put in... Can I just put in a URL e.g. www.domain.com/pic.gif ? No members have liked this post.
