vB Ad Management 4

[RedTyger]

Thank you for this hack.
My client love it :D

Charge them for branding-free and then pass on the money to me. :D

A possible bug I found. If you copy and paste the Google Adsense code into the static header/footer box and save it, the ad WILL show up. However, if you put the same code into the rotation banner box with another banners code, the Google Adsense ads don't show correctly. The other banner shows fine.

When you say "Doesn't show correctly" that means...? Screenshot? Can anyone else confirm this?

great,
so if i make that change in the "postbit_advertisement" using what you posted above, that will accomplish the goal.

i had a feeling it was something like that, thanks for the great support, one of the fastest i have received here, and polite.. thanks

You're welcome. :) I really should add that to the instructions somewhere really, I thought it was self-explanatory but that's a bit unfair.

The Google Ad shows like this:

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/6918/untitledni5.th.png (http://img72.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitledni5.png)

The text shows fine btw. It's just the crappy screenshot which messes up the text!

[RedTyger]

What's the code you're trying to use? PM it if you prefer.

[SportsZone]

PM sent, thanks :)

[RedTyger]

Aha, it's what I thought. Your Adsense contains a , which is used to separate the banners in the rotation, so it's split the Adsense code down the middle. I didn't think any code would use a , but I guess I was wrong. I'll just change it to a more unusual character to separate the banners in the next release.

Ahh! I removed that comma, and everything worked :D

Oh right, didn't realise it was optional. Ok I won't change it then. :D

yes, in hindsight, your right.
i think i just didnt put the pieces together, and even if i had, i would not have known the code to use, which you pasted in the forum post for me.

if you ever decide to go all out and to a full "pro" version with loads of customizable features (using the admincp) let me know i think it would make a GREAT package and i would get it.. :)

It was never intended to rotate without a refresh. It just picks a random advert on page load.

Is it possible to rotate without a refresh ?

:D

[manuelsechi]

i installed (vB 3.6.4) and it work fine but...
it display ads ONLY to registered users... any suggestion?

Possible, yes. I'm not going to do it though, since I don't want to reply on javascript.

mmm

where exactly please?:confused:

[RedTyger]

Global settings. Make sure that 2 is in the option where you choose which Usergroups the advertisements should display to.

[manuelsechi]

perfect!
thanx a lot

[RedTyger]

perfect!
thanx a lot

Not quite, I just realised I read your question wrong. Sorry. You must already have 2 there, you need to add the Usergroup ID number for every other Usergroup you want to see adverts. :)

[John W Smith]

Do NOT display advertisements for scripts:
This allows you to exclude pages based on the type of content they are displaying. Enter the names of the scripts which you don't want to display advertisements, separated by commas. (i.e. register,private,index)
What would I have to enter in the CP to ensure I comply with Adsense TOS?

[RedTyger]

What would I have to enter in the CP to ensure I comply with Adsense TOS?

That I couldn't tell you, I don't actually use advertisements myself so I'm not au fait with Adsense's TOS. But I believe roughly speaking they require original "content" on a page displayed with advertisements. So search results, registration pages, redirection pages and so on where there is none would be a no-go.

Don't take my word for it though, be sure to look it up yourself.

[RedTyger]

Whose TOS? That's what the THIS_SCRIPT setting is for, so you can avoid violating advertisement provider's TOS by excluding certain page types. If there are other things you need to do to avoid violating a TOS that's up to you.

The left column, how can I make it so it only displays on the forumhome.

[RedTyger]

Sweet hack mate, just a few questions.

Edit the leftcolumn_advertisement template. Surround the contents with:


<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumhome'">
Contents of template
</if>

[Reece^B]

Cheers bud, I tried this but no joy, where exactly should I place it?

<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="left" style="padding-right:12px;">
<br />
<table align="left" border="1px" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead">
$adtitle
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
$leftcolumn_adcode
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">

[RedTyger]

Oh, I forgot. The column templates actually spread across two templates, not one. And also I gave you the wrong conditional. Faux pas, sorry 'bout that.

Because the columns use multiple templates, this means that you can't do the usual technique of just excluding it from a page because it would exclude everything between that template and the footer as well. Which is a lot.

So for a bit of a rough workaround, we can remove the adcode and just hide the table instead.

Replace the contents of the leftcolumn_advertisement template with:


<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">style="display:none;"</if>>
<tr>
<td valign="top" align="left" style="padding-right:12px;">
<br />
<table align="left" border="1px" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead">
$adtitle
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">$leftcolumn_adcode</if>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top">


That should just hide the column and remove the adverts on the index page and shouldn't break XHTML validation either.

[Reece^B]

umm I added the code, but consequently it removed all my forums just leaving the header and footer, lol.

But instead of just that, do this:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 4,5,6)">

That's the only way it can be done.

Do I need to do something to run the global_start? I assume it runs only at boot time.

[nanaimobar]

I would like to link jpgs, gifs, pngs, etc submitted to me for ads but am unsure how to do this. Can I simply create a url link from an image in a folder on my server to the ad management system? ie, simply paste the following into static or random section of ad system: www.blahbla/images/ads/blah.jpg

How would I create the hyperlink to the advertisers site? What sizes should the ads be, and where can I find information on the required coding etc?

I managed to get one button to work (a weather information link) on my site, but that code was supplied by the weather network.

The system installed easily and seems to work great on my board. Now I just need to learn how to use it.

[RedTyger]

Sorry, don't follow you? You don't need to worry about anything like that, just the AdminCP settings. global_start just means run on every page load.

Yes, that's right. You must use HTML, any will work. I can't help you out with that too much there's a lot of different code you can use, but for a basic image/link combination it will look like this:


<a href="WHEREYOUWANTTOLINKTO1"><img src="LOCATIONOFIMAGE1" border="0" alt="DESCRIPTIONOFIMAGE2" /></a>,
<a href="WHEREYOUWANTTOLINKTO2"><img src="LOCATIONOFIMAGE2" border="0" alt="DESCRIPTIONOFIMAGE2" /></a>


That's for a random rotation, note the comma which goes between every section of code and that there is NO comma with the last one. You can read up more about HTML here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

Sorry mate but that code didn't do anything to the align. :(

Hi, i love this mod, thank you very much.

one problem, i relized today, that only registered users can see the ads (i have the ad to show on the footer and threads). I would like it to show to all. how to do that ?

[SolPal]

you go to vB options then go to "VB Ad Management global Settings" then go to "Display advertisements in ForumIDs:" and set that there

[sim10]

this is what it says:

Enter the IDs of the forums in which you do NOT want to display the advertisements, separated by commas. (i.e. 16,17,18) Leave blank to not exclude forums.

This setting does not apply to the header or footer or side columns.

That's why i'm asking has someone come up with a way now to stop it displaying in header/footer?

[echamberlain]

Oh right, didn't realise it was optional. Ok I won't change it then. :D

I use javascript in my ad rotations, so using some other character (or combination of characters that doesn't appear in html or javascript) than the comma for separation would be nice.

[Lordy]

[RedTyger]

If you need it urgently, open the plugin and do:

REPLACE WITH:

Change the header/footer_advertisement templates to

</if>


Change 1,2,3 to the forums where you want the adverts shown. Be sure to the search the thread in future, this has been asked before.

[sim10]

thanks for the help but is there a similar way like this except to exclude boards..as i've got to input a lot of numbers..and more for every board i add.

That means if it's not in the forbidden forums or there's no forum information (i.e. index pages and the like) show the advertisements.

Or failing that you can just wait, I've changed it so that forum exclusion/inclusion includes the header & footer in the next update.

[theinvisibleman]

Add usergroup 1 to the list of usergroups you want to display the banners to.


I have usergroup 1 included but guests and not logged in users still do not see the ads

[theinvisibleman]

also how do i set a minimum post count of say 10 so anyone with a post count less than that will see post adverts but other users wont? setting it to 10 does not work!

Yes, but you have to add all but one set of ad code to the (whatever)_advertisement template.

<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid]" == '1'>
Ad code for forum ID 1
</if>
<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid]" == '2'>
$header(or whatever)_adcode
</if>
<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid]" == '3'>
Ad code for forum ID 3
</if>

And so on.

Follow them all. The only optional instructions are ones where you have to add (whatever)_advertisement to your default templates, if you don't intend to use that area for advertisements you don't have to add it to your template.

Double check your usergroup settings in the global settings section. If you want Guests to be able to see the advertisements for instance, you should have a 1 in the "Enable for Usergroups" entry and not have a 1 in the NOT enable section.

:confused: First mod I have tried to install and of course I screwed it up. Went through instruction but don't see anything - anywhere - On board or in cp. I must be missing something. Should I just start over? I feel dumb. :o

I did all of this...

Instructions
Upload the product using the Product Manager.
Go to Style Manager > Edit Templates and...
Find <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu --> and paste $postbit_advertisement above it in your postbit & postbit_legacy templates.
v2.0 Paste $forumbit_advertisement at the bottom of your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates.
v2.0 Paste $threadbit_advertisement at the bottom of your threadbit template.
v2.0 Paste $footer_advertisement at the top of your footer template.
v2.0 Find $spacer_close in your footer template and below it paste $rightcolumn_advertisement.
v2.0 Find &nbsp; in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
v2.0 Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

What else needs to be done? Where do I add the advertising scripts?

Thanks for any help.

[RedTyger]

All the rest is done via a Control Panel interface. There are several new sections added to AdminCP > vBulletin Options. They should be at the bottom of the list.

Ah, I see. No there's nothing I can do about that I'm afraid, it's up to you to size the advertisements to your forum.

[bada_bing]

ah ok any hopes of this getting corrected on next release?

[RedTyger]

No, like I just said...if someone is going to use an advertisement that's too big for the space they've got, that's up to them. I can't do anything about it. If you don't have enough space, don't use that advertisement. Simple as that. :)

Just a heads up to people who want their ads to work with other products like IBProArcade and such to use $GLOBALS[] in their style templates like
$GLOBALS[footer_advertisement]

[SportsZone]

I have a problem. My site has 3 different styles, and I want the google ads, when showing, to blend into the styles background. At the moment, I have got the same ad on all the styles, which looks messy.

So what I want to know is, how do I restrict certain ads to a style?

I have a problem. My site has 3 different styles, and I want the google ads, when showing, to blend into the styles background. At the moment, I have got the same ad on all the styles, which looks messy.

So what I want to know is, how do I restrict certain ads to a style?

Edit the (whatever)_advertisement template and change it to the following.


<if condition="$bbuserinfo['styleid'] == 1">
$(whatever)_adcode
</if>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['styleid'] == 2">
Your advertisement code for styleid 2
</if>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['styleid'] == 3">
Your advertisement code for styleid 3
</if>


Etc. You can't manage style-specifics from the AdminCP.

Looks like an awesome mod O_O gonna be using it ASAP.

In the left side I placed Adsense code for a 120x600 ad. When I place additional code for an Adsense 120x 240 "download firefox with Googlebar" button below it it displays fine in Firefox, as a 120x840 column with a border. In IE 6 and 7 the border is displaced to the right around empty space i.e. the 2 ad units are displayed as a column with an approx 50x840 empty space to the right.

I used collapsing ads for when Adsense does not display an ad. For a 120 x 600 ad on the right the space does not completely collapse but appears to collapse about half way in width. The ad itself collapses to a small (but visible) box but the vB collumns do not move all the way to the right to fill the void as they do when I turn off ads on the right side.

I have V2.0 installed

I could do with a few more details than that. ;) All the Adcode you're using and any relevant settings.

In the left side I placed Adsense code for a 120x600 ad. When I place additional code for an Adsense 120x 240 "download firefox with Googlebar" button below it it displays fine in Firefox, as a 120x840 column with a border.

The ad itself collapses to a small (but visible) box but the vB collumns do not move all the way to the right to fill the void as they do when I turn off ads on the right side.

I have V2.0 installed


With your first problem it sounds like a browser issue with the Adcode itself, something I can't do anything about. The code might need changing to be compatible with Internet Explorer browsers or it might not be possible to make it compatible at all if it's third party code.

The second problem could be different, can you post or PM me the Adcode you're using.

Generally speaking, if the problem occurs with the Adcode itself it's very unlikely to be an issue with the modification. If the problem is outside the Adcode you're using, the opposite applies.

[RedTyger]

Oops, forgot to add. For those of you who are subscribed to new post notifications but have not clicked install to receive update notifications (it's to the right of the first post's title, you don't want all the cool kids laughing at you, do you? Click it.) here are the update details.


vB Ad Management 3.0 BETA is now released for testers. See the 2nd post of the thread for details. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1113680&postcount=2)

Changelog:
Full Ad Sharing functionality!
Threadbit Ad miscalculated positions fixed (they were off by 1).
Global UserID and ThreadID inclusion/exclusion has been removed, this must be done with template conditionals now.
Setting to exclude Advertisements by minimum postcount has been removed, this should be set by Usergroups now.
Sizable optimisation and bugfixes, when the BETA goes to final release version everyone should upgrade even if they won't use the Ad Sharing features.

Important Notes for 3.0 BETA and all future versions:
Make a note of your Usergroup settings, they will be removed upon upgrading.
All _advertisement templates must be reverted.
All separation was previously done using commas (,). Now all separation is done using vertical lines (|) so you must replace all separation commas in your Adcode/Ad Settings.

[ninjamaster]

thanks nice work :)

[tony]

Looks like a very nice setup! A couple question before i install though.

Does this keep track of cpm? And how would you say this compares to the other ad managments out there?

Oh and if I do end up using your product I will be making a donation. I mean after all we are making money with this.

[RedTyger]

Does this keep track of cpm?

It does not. Next version maybe, if there ever is one.

And how would you say this compares to the other ad managments out there?

Oh, MUCH better. ;)

I don't know. I'm sure there are much better Ad Management softwares out there and even the other modifications you can download here are all fine products I'm sure. I haven't looked at other Ad products and I don't even use advertisements myself so I really can't say. I just read the feedback and developed it based on that, it was never meant to be anything more than a small time-saver so it's already much more than I intended.

If it does what you want, what else is there to say? Up to you. :) I won't twist your arm but it's easy enough to just give it a try. I'd like to think it's quite extensively flexible. If it doesn't do what you want, best to look elsewhere. It's free with a link and if that's not enough, you can have a link-free version for a small donation.

Oh and if I do end up using your product I will be making a donation. I mean after all we are making money with this.

That would be nice. :) Just be sure to read the couple of notes about donating on my site before doing so, link's in the instructions.

I could do with a few more details than that. ;) All the Adcode you're using and any relevant settings.

I don?t use an adcode yet.- Which settings do you need to know. Sorry for beeing brief. It maybe because it lacks the words. Hope you will help. Your Version 2.0 worked very good. Now since 3.0 the adsensecode between the posts does not appear anymore.

Any new Updates for Vb Ad Management ?

Like "Track Banner clicks,Banner Added on (date),Statistics for users (only those that advertises) etc????

Will be really appreciated if the above features are added :)..

This is still a great MOD, though.

[hitboy]

I have a question on my template for the directions on the header part there is no &nbsp where would i put it on this code:

<!-- logo -->

<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="left"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>

</tr>
</table>

<!-- /logo -->
$header_advertisement

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open
$leftcolumn_advertisement
$_phpinclude_output

also for my right side ads they show up at the below everything lol on the left side i dont know why

[rnmcd]

It does not. Next version maybe, if there ever is one.



Isn't ver 3.0 beta the next version?-- (the link you posted in post #344 of this thread)

That has just been added, the pre-release BETA version is available in the second post.

[RedTyger]

hitboy, it says you've turned off Private Messages or you're not permitted to receive them, your reply is here.

Hi there,

For everyone to view the ads, just leave the Usergroup and UserID settings all blank.

Forumbit/threadbit ads are where ads appear with listings of threads/forums. If you see this attachment:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=56305&d=1164060335
the bottom Bart Simpson image is set as a threadbit ad at position 2. Forumbit ads work the same way, but you set by forumid, not position.

Do you have a custom theme? If so, it may be causing problems with column positioning. I'll need to take a look at your homepage.

[cuphongle]

i thought i did everything right, but it seems like the "left/right side" isnt showing up for me, i tried everything, any step that i forgot?

i did add the $leftcolumn_advertisement in header
but just cant find anything

thanks

[RedTyger]

You have included your own usergroup in the Enable section of the settings, yes? Or left it blank? I'd double check all your settings.

[echamberlain]

If you need it urgently, open the plugin and do:

FIND:
explode(','

REPLACE WITH:
explode('|'

and then change your admin code to use | instead of ,

Using | could impact users using OpenAds and keywords. I ended up using ;; as the delineator, since that isn't a likely combination in javascript,php, or OpenAds.

[fxs158]

AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vB Ad Management (postbit) > Display after first post on a page (Yes) and Display after last post on a page (Yes).



Ok no problem, in that case could you PM me with an Admin username and password and I'll take a look myself see if I can't see what's wrong.


Man I feel foolish for not looking there, thanks for the help and a great mod!

[fxs158]

double post

[TeknoSounds]

Kind of a pre-post as I can't use the browser debug feature up here at work, but heres a problem I have:

I went and tried to add Google Analytics to my site. I turned the feature on and added the code, but now upon going to a forum page I get Line errors:
Line 1: Invalid Character
Line 1623 (or 1622 when refreshing): object expected.

I am using a custom template...could this be causing the issue?

[RedTyger]

Sounds like Google was possibly down at the time. Object Expected means the javascript is missing a function or external insert.

[WhyDoesItMatter]

I have a custom theme with blocks to the left of my forum. I have a box already for ads, will I be able to insert code into my custom box to display banners? Or do I have to use the box that comes with this?

Thanks!

[RedTyger]

Removing everything except $leftcolumn_adcode from the leftcolumn_advertisement template and then deleting:


$adintegrate_lc = '</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>';
$str_lc = '$spacer_close';
$vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] = str_replace($str_lc,$adintegrate_lc.$str_lc,$vbull etin->templatecache['footer']);



from the plugin itself should allow you to do that without any aesthetic shennanigans going on. But if it doesn't then the customising is up to you. :) It can easily be done, but that does mean a little elbow grease.

[EricPSF]

Hi,

I hv installed the Mod, it's cool.

One qn, how do I insert an advertisement which is in jpeg or gif format? I do not hv any coding for these.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Eric

[RedTyger]

<img src="MYPICTURE.jpg" alt="DESCRIBEMYPICTURE" />

[EricPSF]

Thanks RedTyger,

Another 2 dumb qns from a beginner

1) So where will this code extract "MyPicture.jpeg" from? In forum/image folder? Or in other word, where should i place my jpeg at?

2) For alt="DESCRIBEMYPICTURE" , I have to change it to "DESCRIBEmyjpegfilename"?

Thanks.

Regards,
Eric

[RedTyger]

Well, I could put a picture of me (:D) in a folder of my vbulletin directory called banners, which I had created inside the default images directory. The image is called redtyger.jpg so the src would be it's location which is src="images/banners/redtyger.jpg. I can put anything I want to describe it, that's all it is a label. <img src="images/banners/redtyger.jpg alt="This is a picture of me." />.

Hi RedTyger,

(1) How to adjust the gap of the footer banner, its very near to the lower portion of the "Posting Rules" menu and gonna hit it.

(2) Possible to have different ads (i.e. left, right, header & footer) on different forum pages?
Thanks!

Cheers,
Eric

[KipLarson]

Does this have support for perhaps having a user that donates money to no longer see the advertisements being displayed here?

Or does this need to be manually done with if conditionals?

[Capper5016]

v2.0 Find &nbsp; in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.

I don't have the "&nbsp;" in my template header (custom template....where would I place it in this header?

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td><a href="index.php"><img src="redbar/elements/logo.jpg" border="0"></a></td>

<td width="655">
<!-- /logo -->
$header_advertisement

$spacer_open
$leftcolumn_advertisement
$_phpinclude_output

[bada_bing]

There are usergroup permissions with this hack so you can control who sees what.

[chkdgate]

Just put your donators in a different usergroup and then play with your vb ad management settings. I have it to where my "pro membership" subscribers don't see anything.

I've had a browse through the pages and can't find an answer so can someone help me please.

But...
I'm having a slight problem. I'm displaying adsense ads, and have chosen for them to be displayed after the 1st post of every thread, and also every 5 posts after that.
The problem is that the first post shows up fine, but no adverts show up for the every 5 posts after that. The box is there but no adverts are in it.

I don't remember anyone else having that problem, can't help you there I don't think.

[stricker]

Hi, I use VBAdvanced can you explain what needs to be done. Tx.

[RedTyger]

No idea, I don't use vB Advanced. I think you have to change $whatever_advertisement to $GLOBALS['whatever_advertisement'] when making template edits that you want to appear on vB Advanced pages, the header and footer in other words.

[corsacant]

I don't remember anyone else having that problem, can't help you there I don't think.
Could it possibly have something to do with adsense or is it to do with the hack?

[RedTyger]

Could it possibly have something to do with adsense or is it to do with the hack?

It looks like it's Adsense's problem to me. I've just thought to look at your source code, the Adsense javascript is included at every location correctly, but for some reason it's not displaying any advertisements apart from the first time. You can see for yourself if you view the source of a page with ads.

[corsacant]

Thanks RedTyger, I've changed the adsense type of advert, and also changed the option from displaying after so many posts to just displaying after the first and last and all is working fine now.
Thanks again.

[echamberlain]

If you try and display more than three adsense banners on a page, AdSense is some times smart enough to not return the additional banners.

[Snake]

RedTyger, is it possible to show the ads in postbit after a total posts of 5 in that thread? I prefer to have the ads shown up after the post number #5 and not at the very top which is below the first post.

Thanks anyway!

[RedTyger]

You can choose to either display an advert after the 5th post, or every 5 posts.

[King Justice]

This plugin doesn't work for me! :( I am using vB 3.6.4..

I loved this mod and i tried it on a test forum first. I works great but i discovered its incompatibility with the post thanks hack. This is what happened. Whenever i chose to display the ad after the first post in the thread and i decided to click on the thanks button, the thank you message displays at the bottom of the banner...not after the post. Does anybody here have the same problem like this? I wonder if i'm only the one who has problem with it coz i still have to hear from someone who's got the same issue. I wonder if anyone has a fix for this.

It's not an incompatibility, it's just where that modification is placed in the template. If I remember rightly you add $post_thanks_box or something to the postbit template. Cut and paste it above $postbit_advertisement instead. It will work fine.

This plugin doesn't work for me! :( I am using vB 3.6.4..

Doesn't work in what way? Double check your template edits, settings and adcode. And make sure you're using the style you've applied the edits to. :p Try disabling other plugins if that doesn't work.

Hi,

I've had just recently purchased and installed vBulletin and have added this mod to have banners and ads displaying.. But after following the instructions for installation, i've found that the banners only show up if you're logged in. So just visitors to the forum don't actually see any ads.. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?

I would like to have the ads show up no matter if you're logged in or not..

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

How can I position the "vB Ad Management by =RedTyger=" to the left rather than the right of the footer?

It's style="text-align:left;" not align="left".

Thanks for that.. Will that display the same as what was put in the header.. As in if I take out what i put in the header and put it into the Usergroup Global setting, it will display in the same place?

Thanks for your help.

InBrissy

[RedTyger]

No no, Usergroup settings just controls which usergroups are able to see the adverts. Usergroup 1 is guests, so you can either leave the Usergroup settings blank so everyone can see the ads, or just add 1 to the list you already have there to include guests.

Thanks. I guess i figured it out. I've been looking at the postbit template and the post_thanks code was above the postbit_advertisement. Actually, it was in the Memberinfo template that i need to move the post_thanks above postbit_advertisement.

Is there anyway to edit your footer text. The =RedTyger= just looks a little like a script kidde. I'd rather get rid of the ='s or just something a bit better sounding with the link still active, etc.

OK the mod was working with v2 no worries. loaded up 3beta and found adding the code to the legacy-postbit showed the space where the add will go but nothing is actually in the ad..... The ad code is in and is workin gfor the header...

[King Justice]

I'd like to edit the link also. I have no problem linking to you, but I hate the position of it...

[RedTyger]

I don't know what you mean..I installed it but nothing shows


You have done the template edits, set up your settings, added the adcode to the sections in the AdminCP? The instructions in the first post, in other words.


Is there anyway to edit your footer text. The =RedTyger= just looks a little like a script kidde. I'd rather get rid of the ='s or just something a bit better sounding with the link still active, etc.

Also,

<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:left;">
<!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->
$cronimage
<!-- Do not remove $cronimage or your scheduled tasks will cease to function -->

Hm, you're right that doesn't alter it. I'll consider changing it to allow you to position the text to left right or center via the AdminCP in a later version, but that text can't and won't be changed. The fee to remove it is small if you want.

[flindersredclaw]

Google code. It appears in the header but is blank in the postbit.

Yes but I need the exact code either via PM or here so I can reproduce the problem.

nice feature would to be able to change the banner ad per forum kinda like this does https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=132716. I like this one alot more cause of the many features but throwing that into the mix would make this be amazing cause right now you can limit it to forums per forum id but having different ones based on the thread content would make this nice

one other thing would be to group the templates this way there easy to edit if anyone wants to.

[QUOTE=RedTyger;1171991]1) Edit the footer_advertisement template or move the placement of $footer_advertisement

2) Not really, no.

Hi RedTyger,

Pls advise me on how to "move the placement of $footer_advertisement". I hv tried entering some space by pressing 'Enter' key for the $footer_advertisement at the top of your footer template, but to no avail.

Thank you.

Are you sure that is not possible?

[KipLarson]

Just put your donators in a different usergroup and then play with your vb ad management settings. I have it to where my "pro membership" subscribers don't see anything.

How did you have that set up? Like with vBulletin's subscriber thing or what?

[Snake]

Sweet! I love you. Haha just kidding. Thanks anyway! :D

[DementedMindz]

Are you sure that is not possible?


yes im very sure its not possible. say you want different banners in each postbit how can you do that per forum like the other mod does? say you want a different banner in just forum 31 and want a different one in 32 its not possible with this. with that you can change every one to a different banner cause the settings are in the forum permissions for each forum.

[sandrodz]

is it possible to make it random? in postbit I mean, after random number of posts?

[vorphalack]

I like this hack so far. Been testing it with the site owner and she wants to do something new - allow our premium (paid subscription) members advertise their favorite charity site. It looks like everyone that can SEE ads could also POST them and we don't want that, we want only paying subscribers to post ads. Is this possible the way the code is currently written, or do we need custom coding?

Yes, we'd like to only allow certain usergroups to post them, but all to view them.

Make sure you have set the link AND link text. Otherwise it will not show up. There's no other reason I know of why it would not.


RedTyger do you only answer certain questions?


No, but I get a fair few questions and I do lose track occasionally. I read all posts even if I don't necessarily reply to them.

That sounds like a reasonable request, to be honest I thought that was already possible but I guess not. I'll have a look and see if it's do-able.

[Thechipleaders]

This is a GREAT MOD

However, I am having one problem I use CMPS portal system and don't want the banners to appear on my portal page. Right now if I activate the header banner I end up with a banner on my index page. I don't want it to appear there but I do want it to appear on all my other pages. Suggestions?

I'm still searching through all 29 pages of information but I thought I'd post this question since it maybe someone else would ask as well.

[RedTyger]

Try adding adv_index to the list of THIS_SCRIPT exclusions in the global settings. I think that's what you have to add anyway.

[chkdgate]

How did you have that set up? Like with vBulletin's subscriber thing or what?
Go to your vB Ad Management global settings and place the user id of the people who you don't want them to see your ads.

[nanaimobar]

Is there a method for admin moderating ad submissions? I love the idea of registered users sharing their ads but would like to monitor ads which may contravene TOS etc.

[bugriders]

hmm I gonna install that this week. Looks great!! Thanks !

[KipLarson]

For someone that has this installed... does this basically do what I've done with template hacks?

(see haloboards.com (http://www.haloboards.com))

[maple_cc]

nice job ~ thx

[RedTyger]

It does less or more than template edits depending on what you want to do. For instance you can't assign an advert to individual forums with this, but you get random rotations which you don't with template edits. The Ad-sharing in the beta of course can't be done with template edits. Plus it saves an awful lot of time and makes things easier. :p

I pencilled this in with a question mark already but haven't done anything about it. What violations would you be looking for?

[chkdgate]

Red, thank you very much for my brand free copy. It is well worth it.

[KipLarson]

Red, thank you very much for my brand free copy. It is well worth it.

How much is it for a brand free one? If the brand free is purchased once, is it ok to use it on other sites in our posession as well?

Or is this something you prefer to talk about via pm?

[chkdgate]

I'm not sure if you can use it on multiple sites, you'll have to ask Red in regards to that. As far as the price is concerned, it's not that expensive at all. I'll PM you the amount. Anyways, it's totally worth it because these guys work hard at coding, so they need a little compensation.

[RedTyger]

It's on a per-site basis I'm afraid.

Thank you very much indeed chkdgate :) but actually the most helpful thing someone can do for me is leave the link there. It helps with my website's PageRank and very occasionally does bring in a customer or two. A small donation for branding-free doesn't cover the benefits of having a footer link present, I just threw in the option as a curteousy for those who were really bothered by having the copyright displayed.

But it's all good, I appreciate it either way. :D

[rezapci]

Lovely...

[rezapci]

cant we put the Adsense and Adbrite in seam page?

[rezapci]

I have problem, it shows in down blow of the mainforum, but it dosnt show on the upper mainforum, I done everything correctly.

what is the problem in there?

[Merriweather]

I saw this posted a few pages back with no resolution... I have three Google Adsense codes set up -- header, right side and footer. However, only the header one shows up. All three are turned on, and you can see the space where they SHOULD be, but they don't display. If I look at the page's source code, the ad code is there, but no ad shows.

I did some tests and it seems that the first ad per page is all that shows. i.e. if I set it to show header, right and footer, all I see is the header ad. If I set it to show right and footer, all I see is the right, and if I just set it to footer, I see the footer.

Is this a glitch or is there a way to fix it?

[bugriders]

The ads are showing up on my forum but no clicks are registred! What can be the problem?

[zlos]

Hi

Installed. Although when I set up this:

in the admincp the postbit ads simply disappear.

A bug?

Not sure, but that feature won't exist in the next version. It should really be done via Usergroups like everything else.

Nobody is clicking on them.

There was a resolution in that as far as I can tell it's Google's problem not mine. If the adcode is in the page source code then my modification is displaying the adcode correctly. Anything beyond that is out of my control.

Double-check your settings and make sure that you have enabled that section, not just added code.

I have no idea I'm afraid, I don't actually use adverts myself.

That's a 500 install milestone and over 1700 downloads, thanks everyone! :)

[bugriders]

Just for people's notice, it's against google's policy to have adsense look like a post.

Not if SPONSORED LINKS is placed before or after the ads.

[bugriders]

RedTyger. Thanks 4 the reply.

I forgot the Global settings. There you can choose wich usergroups can and can not see the ads. It's working now!

Edit: I made settings in global but still they can NOT see the ads. Only me as admin can see the ads. Strange! I also tried it with all usergroups (nrs) and by leaving the field blank. No results. I tried with my testaccount as registred user.

[bugriders]

I'm sorry. My testaccount was set as sponsor. Sorry. It's working.

[RedTyger]

:p Glad to hear it. I've done the same myself so many times...

[rezapci]

I susggest everybody to use https://publisher.yahoo.com beside Googleadsense

which is I am using it in my website www.alshiatalk.com

[rezapci]

RedTyger I have a problem

it suppose to place the ad every 2 post, but it dosnt, It wont place the ad on rightside of the forum and mainpage, the upper banner is on leftside its not on the center!

would you take a look www.alshiatalk.com www.alshiatalk.com/vb and tell what to do please?

[RedTyger]

The ads with posts are showing up after the first post at the moment, and your javascript adcode is being inserted correctly. I can only assume that there is a problem with your ad provider since there seems to be no problem with the display functioning.

Since you have a custom theme, I can't really do much about ads not appearing or appearing in the wrong place. It's impossible to say what needs to go where. But you should make sure you have done the right/leftcolumn template edits as described in the instructions and that they have been enabled in the Columns section of the settings.

thanks again

[ringleader]

my only question, how do i edit the copyright text? i just need to change the color of the link (as it isnt the correct color against the background), but i cannot find it anywhere in phrases or in the footer

Two ways:

1.
Go to Plugins and Products -> Plugin Manager -> vB Ad Management -> "vB Ad Management - Ads in Header & Footer, Left & Right columns, Google Analytics"

It's at the bottom in a div with class="smallfont"

However, do not modify this code unless you know enough php/xhtml not to break it all completely.

2. Easy way
Go to Styles&Templates -> Main CSS -> CSS Selector .smallfont

and add in the text style there.

That will change the style for any text with the class smallfont, however.

On the other hand, it's much much easier ;)

[wowway1]

Please please please - allow specific ads for a particular forum! This would solve my problem if I could great individual forum sponsors (different static ad at the top of individual forums). Is there a way to do this? It looks like the same ad has to be displayed on the forums you choose. I need a different ad for each forum.

It just means your header has been modified. You can place it anywhere you like, I just used that because it places it on the right opposite the logo.

[The Librarian]

I'm sorry to be such an idiot but I've got a couple of problems if you've got a second:

1. I got the header working but there's a purple border around it. This isn't on the actual image so I'm not sure why I'm seeing it. Is there something I can do to remove it?

2. I'd REALLY prefer to move that header ad to my Navbar, just to the left of my welcome block. But, honestly, I'm not familiar enough with code to know where, exactly, to put $GLOBALS[$header_advertisement] to make it show there. If someone could tell me exactly where, I'd be grateful.
--- and along those lines, where then, if you have it in your navbar, do you control the content? Is it in the vB Ad Management (Header & Footer) or elsewhere. That bit just isn't clear to me. (I want different ads there than the ads in the footer.)

3. The footer doesn't work at all. It's turned on and I've put a couple of banner codes in, but I can't see anything.
--- The instructions for adding the code for the footer weren't all that specific. It says "at the top" which I assume means, before EVERYTHING else. So my code looks like this:

$footer_advertistment
<br />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
<br />

$spacer_close

Is this correct? If so, where is the ad supposed to be seen? I get NOTHING right now, and it's turned on.


TIA for your help!

[RedTyger]

1) Add border="0" to your image code.

2) Anywhere in the navbar template.

3) You spelt advertisement wrong in the template edit.

That bit just isn't clear to me. IOW, is it the same as the header? (I want different ads there than the ads in the footer.) I'm assuming it's the same as the header and you only have one choice, Navbar OR header, but I'd like to confirm this.

3) How totally embarrassing!!! I thought I pasted it in! :o - It's working beautifully now.

It took NO TIME at all to install. Literally one minute. It's all automatic except the template edits.

I only edited the header and footer template so far. I copied the original into a document so if I messed it up I could copy it back. I saved the "edited" and the "unedited" so I've got them if I need them. (and I'm a complete noob with no html knowledge at all)

All the advertisements on a page will use the same shared code, so no that's not possible. To be honest you're probably better off trying the modification, it's quite a complex idea and a lot easier to understand by using it.

All the advertisements on a page will use the same shared code, so no that's not possible. To be honest you're probably better off trying the modification, it's quite a complex idea and a lot easier to understand by using it.


It's been mentioned before yes, but it's not something I will fix as the postcount setting has already been removed from the next version.


To get this clear again.. so you meant this mod will at no time will show 2 different advertisement on a same page ya?

If that's the case, I will try installing it and once it's all cool.. i'll click "Installed!"

That is correct, it's done for optimisation. It only calculates which adcode to use once then uses it across every appearance per page load.

Running on 3.6.4 and works great!

I answered you here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1179596#post1179596Apologies, I didn't see it. I'm going to have to disagree with you that it's Google's problem because if I throw three Google Ads into my template without your mod, they show. :(

Has anyone figured out (or tried) to use Text-Link-Ads.com with this plugin?

They do? Hm. That IS strange...

Is it possible to nominate different ads for each category of your forum?

I would like to run certain ads in certain categories so that I can use ads that are targeted for that category. This way I can target specific advertisers for each category. Advertisers would much rather have their ad targeted at a more defined group of people. The more you can assure your advertisers that their ad is being displayed at their target demographic the more they are willing to pay.

If it will be possible that would be fantastic.

Thanks

That is not possible at the moment.

Does it matter where the footer copyright link is placed? As long as it's on the site?

Any one have an example site I could see it in action on?
