This mod allows you to do this (you would insert banner code in place of the text):

17757

This works on both the forumdisplay and the search listings. You can disable it for either of those listings by editing the conditional as shown below.

Adding The Banner

Edit this template:

Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> « » -> Threadbit Templates -> threadbit

Add the red code to the top:


<if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount] == X AND in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('forumdisplay', 'search'))">

<if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount] = 1"></if>

<tr>
<td class="alt1">
&nbsp;
</td>
<if condition="$show['threadicons']">
<td class="alt2">
&nbsp;
</td>
</if>
<td class="alt1">

<td class="alt2">

<td class="alt1" align="center">

</if>
<if condition="$show['inlinemod']">

</if>
</tr>

<else />

<if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount]++"></if>

</if>

Where X is the number of threads after which you want the banner to show. Replace the blue code with your banner code.

Other Conditions

Here are some other conditions you can use:

Display Banner Only After X Number Of Threads, Not Repeating

Replace the green section from the previous code:


<if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount] == X AND in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('forumdisplay', 'search'))">

<if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount] = 1"></if>

<tr>
<td class="alt1">
&nbsp;
</td>


...with the purple code:


<if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount] == X AND in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('forumdisplay', 'search'))">

<if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount]++"></if>

<tr>
<td class="alt1">
&nbsp;
</td>


This way the counter just keeps incrementing and never resets. Now a banner will only show up once per page, after X number of threads:

Removing The Banners From Either The Forumdisplay Or Search Listings

Simply remove one of the green parts below (scroll right):


<if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount] == X AND in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('forumdisplay', 'search'))">

<if condition="$GLOBALS[threadcount] = 1"></if>

<tr>
<td class="alt1">
&nbsp;
</td>
