template conditionals for various ad networks

Hi,

I've been trying to show adsense ads in certain forums and chitika in the rest of them. Here is the code that I've been trying but it doesn't seem to work:

Code:

 
<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(1,2,3))">
<div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript">
ch_client = "xyz";
ch_type = "mpu";
ch_width = 728;
ch_height = 90;
ch_non_contextual = 4;
ch_vertical ="premium";
ch_sid = "Chitika Premium";
var ch_queries = new Array( );
var ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));
if ( ch_selected < ch_queries.length ) {
ch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];
}
</script>
<script  src="http://scripts.chitika.net/eminimalls/amm.js" type="text/javascript">
</script></div>
 
<vb:else />

<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(5,6,7,))">
 
<div align="center">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "xxx";
google_ad_slot = "xxx";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>

Any suggestions?

That looks like vB4. You need to tell us what templates you are trying to show the ads in, and whether $forum is registered for those templates.

Totally annoying, I know.. to not be able to use that condition in the navbar template was one of the biggest headaches of my time with vB4.

depending on the page, this sometimes becomes $foruminfo['forumid']

Hi!

The templates are:

SHOWTHREAD
FORUMDISPLAY
POSTBIT

How do you register $forum in these templates? Thanks for the help man! Support over at vbulletin.com hasn't been really helpful.

I'm trying something similar, I am using <vb:if condition="$forum[forumid] != 4"> ad here <vb:else /> diff ad here </vb:if>

However, this doesn't seem to work. I am using one of the new Ad Templates, so I'm not sure if $forum is registered here

That's the thing, I wouldn't have a clue how to register something that should be default. :(

You could try Brian's suggestion of using foruminfo..

Hello Vishal,

Please try:

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['forumid'] != 4"> ad here <vb:else /> dif ad here</vb:if>

If it doesn't work for you, please let us know what template are you trying to edit.

Regards.

Does that ad code work for showing affiliate banner ads only for certain categories you want it to show for?

very nice thanks
