How to... insert Ads Between Search Listings

[migrania]

Tanks to @teseo (from osc4u) None of the code below are mine.
I think it's important to rescue it, before the site where it was posted disappears.

THEME BENDER
you need to modify oc-content/themes/bender/loop.php
This block at the end of the script:

while(osc_has_items()) {
                $i++;
                $class = false;
                if($i%4 == 0){
                    $class = 'last';
                }
                $admin = false;
                if(View::newInstance()->_exists("listAdmin")){
                    $admin = true;
                }

                bender_draw_item($class,$admin);

Replace it with:

 $adSense_middle_pos = ceil(osc_count_items()/2);
        $ad_counter = 0;
  
        while(osc_has_items()) {
            $i++;
            $class = false;
            if($i%4 == 0){
                $class = 'last';
            }
            $admin = false;
            if(View::newInstance()->_exists("listAdmin")){
                $admin = true;
            }
      
            bender_draw_item($class,$admin);
      
            $ad_counter++;
            if ($ad_counter == $adSense_middle_pos && bender_show_as() == 'list') {
            //AdSense middle ?>
                <li class="listing-card">
          
                    // [Specific AdSense code here]
          
                </li>
            <?php }

Important note: I've programmed this in a way that will only work for List View, to insert a single "fake regular ad" on Gallery View would scramble the symmetry of the grid layout.

You'd need to insert 4 AdSenses to keep things pretty...
