XF 1.5 Putting an ad every Xth post in a thread...

[tribedude]

In addition to the stock ad location templates, is there a way to put an ad every Xth post in a thread?

You can use template modifications for that. In template thread_view replace

<xen:foreach loop="$posts" value="$post">

with something like

<xen:foreach loop="$posts" value="$post" i="$i">
<xen:if is="{$i} == 1">
   code for ad after second post
</xen:if>

You don't need to edit the thread_view template - it can be done with a conditional statement in the ad template.

See the examples here (from 10 onwards): https://xenforo.com/community/resources/responsive-adsense.2084/update?update=18207

Thanks all!

Be somewhat careful that you don't end up violating policies, etc.

We found that digital points addon which puts an ad after the last read post ended up converting much better than putting ads in various fixed positions.
