How to insert Google Adsense in first and last post of Vbulletin?

I have wrote once about this trick here, but the content messed up with the sample coding.

Let start again, so you got an Adsense account and wish to insert the code in your forum? I’m talking about Vbulletin, I’m not sure about phpBB and other CMS. For xoops, please refer here.

For Vbulletin;

1. Go to admin cp.

2. Under Styles/Template, look for ‘Search within templates’.

3. Select your current style name and key in ‘postbit’  then make a search.

4. The result will be highlighted in red.

5. Select ‘postbit’ then edit.

6. Look for HTML comments such as “posts, messages, signature”. That is where we will put our code.

7. Now we will a PHP test, because we are interested in first and last post only, not all of the posts.

8. Enter this test:

<if condition="(!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'])"> your adsense code here </if>

9. And if you are into the last post, enter the following as well:

<if condition="($post[islastshown] and !$GLOBALS[’vbulletin’]->GPC[’ajax’])"> your adsense code here </if>

10. Save it and now check if you manage to have your adsense in vbulletin posts
