First of all thanks for the component which is really the "BEST OF JOOMLA!"

my question is that how can I integrate the google ads inside the first posts of each thread? or are there any easy way to put some ads somewhere in the forum? Thanks very much

Ok I added new module pozitions for next release.

Can you see bottom of the first message has a module.

i added 4 module pozitions.
fb_msg_t
fb_msg_1 -- this is for after first post
fb_msg_2 -- this is for after second post
fb_msg_b

Begin moderator edit.
As you can see this thread is VERY old. It is NO LONGER NECESSARY TO MODIFY ANY CODE!!! Go to your joomla admin template module positions.
Add
fb_msg_t
fb_msg_1
fb_msg_2
fb_msg_b

Than asign your joomla modules .

THAT'S IT!!! Read the remainder of this thread and risk confusing yourself.

End moderator edit.
-------------------------------------
message.php
Add this code

Code:

BEFORE

Code:

-------------------------------------- //  Legend to the variables used // --------------------------------------------------------------

AND

view.php

Find "$k=0;" on view.php add after "$mmm = 0;"

Code:

$k=0; $mmm = 0;

Find "$k = 1 - $k;" on view.php add after "$mmm ++;"

Code:

$k = 1 - $k; $mmm ++;

AND LAST STEP:

Go to your joomla admin template module pozitions.
Add
fb_msg_t
fb_msg_1
fb_msg_2
fb_msg_b

Than asign your joomla modules .


I hope you will like it

I've been looking for this a long time. Great!

Only one problem. I can't get it to work...

I use default_gray template and inside that folder there are no message.php or view.php so I just assumed I should use the ones in the default folder, but no luck after adding the code. No ads displayed...

I have assisgne modules positions and published them, nothing.

What am I doing wrong??

Tested the other module positions now and fb_msg_t and fb_msg_b are working but they display the ad after every post. fb_msg_1 is the one that should display one ad after the very first post, right? But this is not working on my site. Not fb_msg_2 either...

Got it now

There were a typo in the code.

Look for fb_msg1 and fb_msg2, should be fb_msg_1 and fb_msg_2.

Working just excellent!

Thanks . I changed.

I noticed on this site, the area of space for showing the google ads is almost twice as big as the ads themselves, is it possible to minimise the vertical space of the module ?

Hopefully it will be available in the next FB release.
