[TIP] Ads Between Listings

[keerthi]

Thanks to @teseo. None of the code below are mine.

This procedure will insert an AdSense ad in the middle of your site Ads list, it should put you on the right track if you want to show more:

Theme search-list.php or equivalent:

Code: [Select]

<?php // list regular ads
    $adSense_middle_pos = ceil(osc_count_items()/2);
    $ad_counter = 0;
    while(osc_has_items()) { ?>

<tr // etc

// [Normal code here]

?>
</tr>

<?php $ad_counter++;
        if ($ad_counter == $adSense_middle_pos) {
            //AdSense middle ?>
        <tr><td colspan="2">

// [Specific AdSense code here]

</td></tr>
            <?php }

        $class = ($class == 'even') ? 'odd' : 'even';
    } ?>

The result will be something like as shown in the pic.

I am using minimalist theme(Modern), could you guide me step-by-step how to insert this code for adsense ads between listings.

Thanks

Hi,

Why, precissely I have used Minimalist 1.2 search-list.php for my example... But fine, I'll explain it step by step so it could be useful for other themes too:

1.-

Code: [Select]

// list regular ads
while(osc_has_items())
{
to:

Code: [Select]

// list regular ads
                        $adSense_middle_pos = ceil(osc_count_items()/2);
                        $ad_counter = 0;
while(osc_has_items())
{
2.-

<tr // etc

// [Normal code here]

?>
</tr>

This translates on vanilla Minimalist as:

Code: [Select]

<tr class="<?php echo $class; ?>">
<?php
if(osc_images_enabled_at_items())
{
?>
<td class="photo">
<?php
if(osc_count_item_resources())
{
?>
<a href="<?php echo osc_item_url(); ?>" class="image">
<img src="<?php echo osc_resource_thumbnail_url(); ?>" width="75" height="56" title="<?php echo osc_item_title(); ?>" alt="<?php echo osc_item_title(); ?>" />
<?php echo clb_minimalist_format_image_count(); ?>
</a>
<?php
}
else
{
?>
<img src="<?php echo osc_current_web_theme_url('images/no_photo.gif'); ?>" title="" alt="" />
<?php } ?>
</td>
<?php
}
?>
<td class="text">
<h3>
<?php
echo clb_minimalist_format_list_title(osc_item_title(), osc_item_url(), false, true);
?>
</h3>
<p>
<strong>
<?php
if(osc_price_enabled_at_items())
{
echo osc_item_formated_price();
?> - <?php
}
echo osc_item_city();
?> (<?php echo osc_item_region(); ?>) - <?php echo osc_format_date(osc_item_pub_date());
?>
</strong>
</p>
<p><?php echo osc_highlight(strip_tags(osc_item_description())); ?></p>
</td>
</tr>

You need to identify where the table row (<tr>) for each ad starts and finishes (just for reference, you need to leave this block untouched).

3.- Now replace:

Code: [Select]

<?php
$class = ($class == 'even') ? 'odd' : 'even';
}
?>
with:

Code: [Select]

<?php 
        $ad_counter++;
        if ($ad_counter == $adSense_middle_pos) {
            //AdSense middle ?>
        <tr><td colspan="2">

// [Specific AdSense code here]

</td></tr>
            <?php }

        $class = ($class == 'even') ? 'odd' : 'even';
    } 
?>

***UPDATED***

For Bender you need to modify oc-content/themes/bender/loop.php

This block at the end of the script:

Code: [Select]

            while(osc_has_items()) {
                $i++;
                $class = false;
                if($i%4 == 0){
                    $class = 'last';
                }
                $admin = false;
                if(View::newInstance()->_exists("listAdmin")){
                    $admin = true;
                }

                bender_draw_item($class,$admin);

Replace it with:

Code: [Select]

        $adSense_middle_pos = ceil(osc_count_items()/2);
        $ad_counter = 0;
   
        while(osc_has_items()) {
            $i++;
            $class = false;
            if($i%4 == 0){
                $class = 'last';
            }
            $admin = false;
            if(View::newInstance()->_exists("listAdmin")){
                $admin = true;
            }
       
            bender_draw_item($class,$admin);
       
            $ad_counter++;
            if ($ad_counter == $adSense_middle_pos && bender_show_as() == 'list') {
            //AdSense middle ?>
                <li class="listing-card">
           
                    // [Specific AdSense code here]
           
                </li>
            <?php }
Important note: I've programmed this in a way that will only work for List View, to insert a single "fake regular ad" on Gallery View would scramble the symmetry of the grid layout. You'd need to insert 4 AdSenses to keep things pretty...

what am I doing wrong?

[teseo]

Hi,

You didn't pay enough attention. Take another look at my last post for Bender, you have in your theme a block of code virtually identical to what needs to be replaced, the only difference is in this line:

bender_draw_item($class,$admin); ==> infinity_draw_item($class,$admin);

[Hambitz Classified]

Hi Teseo,

either Im blind or stupid or both but I have changed that line   and still nothing shows..   long day lol

[teseo]

***UPDATED***

For Infinity you need to modify oc-content/themes/infinity/loop.php

This block:

Code: [Select]

            while(osc_has_items()) {
                $i++;
                $class = false;
                if($i%4 == 0){
                    $class = 'last';
                }
                $admin = false;
                if(View::newInstance()->_exists("listAdmin")){
                    $admin = true;
                }

                infinity_draw_item($class,$admin);
 
 
Replace it with:

Code: [Select]

        $adSense_middle_pos = ceil(osc_count_items()/2);
        $ad_counter = 0;
   
        while(osc_has_items()) {
            $i++;
            $class = false;
            if($i%4 == 0){
                $class = 'last';
            }
            $admin = false;
            if(View::newInstance()->_exists("listAdmin")){
                $admin = true;
            }
       
            infinity_draw_item($class,$admin);
       
            $ad_counter++;
            if ($ad_counter == $adSense_middle_pos && infinity_show_as() == 'list') {
            //AdSense middle ?>

Hi,

The element where each ad is wrapped on may vary from theme to theme, the key to adapt this code to your theme is here:

<?php $ad_counter++;
        if ($ad_counter == $adSense_middle_pos) {
            //AdSense middle ?>
        <tr><td colspan="2">

// [Specific AdSense code here]

</td></tr>
            <?php }

Themes Modern, Minimalist, Bender and Infinity (already mentioned in this thread) and others use an HTML table, yours seems to use a div, so replace this block:

Code: [Select]

<?php while(osc_has_items()) { ?>
<?php if(!osc_item_is_premium()) { ?>
             <div class="item-list well">

        <div class="item-list well">

// [Specific AdSense code here]

</div>
            <?php }

        <?php } ?>
As you can see the opening table-specific tags <tr><td colspan="2"> are replaced with <div class="item-list well">

and the closing table-specific tags </td></tr> are replaced with </div>

and the closing table-specific tags </td></tr> are replaced with </div>
