DRUPAL: Put Adsense in FIRST POST of a forum topic?

Does anyone know how to place Adsense (or anything, really) in the first post of a forum-topic in Drupal? I have Googled and read all over the support at Drupal.org and can't find the answer anywhere. I can't use the "adsense" module, so I need to be able to do it by modifying my node-forum.php .

anyone that comes up with a way that works gets my everlasting appreciation

 

in node.tpl.php:

<?php if(!$page&&($id==1||$id==3)): ?>
[INSERT ADSENSE CODE HERE]
<?php endif; ?>

Chaange id to be whatever post # on the front page you want the google ad displayed after. i.e. here it would place the adsense code after the 1st and 3rd articles on the front page.

 

but.. i dont want it on the front page.. i want it to be after the first post of a forum topic.. as described in my original post..

 

Hi Tearabite,

Just for clarification. Do you want to put adsense after the first title in a list of forum threads or after the first post inside a forum thread?

Just noticed the start date of this thread

I think that only the OP is formatted using the node-forum.tpl, replies are formatted using the comment.tpl. So you can simply add adsense to the template by changing:

<div class="content">
<?php print $content; ?>
</div>

to

<div class="content">
<?php print $content . "ADSENSE STUFF" ; ?>
</div>

BUT, this adds the adsense code AFTER the breadcrumb link to the next forum topic. That might not look too pretty.

If you want to add it BEFORE the breadcrumb link then you have to make a change to the forum.module.

Search for the "theme_forum_topic_navigation" routine and change the first line:

from:
$output = '';

to:
$output = 'ADSENSE STUFF';

This displays your adsense stuff at the end of the OP and ahead of the breadcrumb. Only downside is that you've changed a core module to do it.

Thanks Petey - I'll give both of these a try.. and yes, this IS a very old topic.. but still never found a good/working answer..
