XF 2.2 Show ads on first, 7th and last post

[masmo]

Sorry, I know... there are many discussions about it but I can't find what I need.

At the moment I am using this solution:

XF 2.0 - Having trouble putting an ad after the first post

With the new ad system, I am selecting "post: below message content". I can see that, by default, this puts an ad after every post. Trying to just put the ad either after just the first post, or ideally, after the 1st, 10th, and last post. I had codes that worked in the past, but now I can't...

xenforo.com

I wish the ads were more dynamic...
OK for the one ads on every first post but if the last post is the 5th, the ads is not displayed.
Is there a way to calculate the last post and if there isn't already a banner add it?
Thanks

Depending on your ad setup, you may want to look into: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/ads-manager-2-lite-by-siropu.7002/

It makes life easier when it comes to ads. Can target specific posts, rotate ad banners in various spots, conditionals for all sorts of things such as usergroups, devices, pages, and a ton more. Something to consider.

As for the conditional, maybe something like this? Check if there are a certain amount of posts:

XF 2.1 - Showing Ads before 2nd last post IF total posts on page more than 6?

I would like to place an Ad before second last post IF there are more than 6 posts on that page. Any ideas how I can do that? P.S. I am also showing an Ad after 2nd post if there are more than 4 posts on that page and following code works fine for this:

You might like this add-on:

I thought it could be done without add-on...

Thanks everyone, I'll try the suggested ones.

It can.

You would just need to use conditional statements targeting the post IDs.

Thanks @Brogan , I tried but I'm not expert enough...

Just a little help...
This seems to work:

<xf:if is="$post.position % $xf.options.messagesPerPage == 0">
Ads 1
</xf:if>
<xf:if is="$post.position % $xf.options.messagesPerPage == 6">
Ads 2
</xf:if>
<xf:if is="$post.position == $xf.options.messagesPerPage - 1 OR $post.position % $xf.options.messagesPerPage + 1 == count($__globals.posts) AND count($__globals.posts) >= 3">
Ads 3
</xf:if>

How can I avoid having two banners in the 7th post?
I tried adding != 7 in the last rule but it doesn't work...
Thanks

You can likely use elseif:

<xf:if is="...">
   <!-- ad 1 -->
<xf:elseif is="..." />
    <!-- ad 2 -->
<xf:elseif is="..." />
    <!-- ad 3 -->
</xf:if>

Thanks again Jeremy

This works perfectly:

<xf:if is="$post.position % $xf.options.messagesPerPage == 0">
Ad 1
<xf:elseif is="$post.position % $xf.options.messagesPerPage == 6" />
Ad 2
<xf:elseif is="$post.position == $xf.options.messagesPerPage - 1 OR $post.position % $xf.options.messagesPerPage + 1 == count($__globals.posts) AND count($__globals.posts) >= 3" />
Ad 3
</xf:if>
