[Smiry Kin's]

Nope, i thought it was <script> but it wasnt, it was infact the column being put below the footer.

Salü,

her is the german language for the vB Ad Management 3.1 (Ad Sharing Edition).

If you find any error, tell me and i fix it...
For Donation the Translation look at GWars.de.

Have fun.

Thanks for that. :) Phrases are completely separate in the next version, so you can distribute translation files on your own website or wherever you want.

Hey RedTyger! I have seen other people asking for this throughout this site, but no one has been answered or no one knows an answer.

I have created my custom field that will allow the user to insert just their Google Id. I have set up the usergroups that I want to have access to it in vB Ad control panel. However, what I really need to do is set that custom field to only be accessable by certain usergroups. I know that you can disable the ad sharing through the admin cp, but the custom field will still be displayed while nonfunctional... thus confusing members who see it and don't why it isn't working for them.

I am thinking there would be some way to set up some sort of conditional statement to make that custom field viewable by certain usergroups, but I don't know how to write that stuff or where to put it. Any ideas?

Also, I used your instructions to create a new custom block (displayed with the header/footer admin section) and it worked, but one small issue. Everything is functional with this new block, but there is no text showing up telling you what you are looking at in the admin area. The text areas and checkboxes are there, but no labels or descriptions. Did I miss something? Thanks!

Hmm... I hate to say this, and maybe I am just missing something, but I think part of the description of this mod is a little misleading. You explain how ad sharing can be enabled/disabled per usergroup, but I think the wording is confusing. The way I read it, I assumed this meant that by disabling certain usergroups, you were preventing that group from inserting their own ad code. However, what actually happens when you enter a usergroup to be disabled, it completely turns off the option for that group to view the shared ads. This is a big problem for me and for others, I am sure.

I want ALL usergroups to be able to view the shared ads at all times. But, I want to only allow my "Ad Sharing" usergroup to enter and display their ad code. So if I try to enter only my "Ad Sharing" group in the "enable ad sharing" section of the cp, then only that group is able to view the shared ads. It blocks every other group from viewing the shared ads. So, then I ad the other groups to the "enable ad sharing" section of the cp and now they can all see the ads, but also anyone will be able to insert their own ad code which is a whole new problem.

This is what's happening....

Scenario 1:

IF ONLY "Ad Sharing" usergroup enabled = all access (viewing and inserting code)
THEN All other usergroups disabled = cannot insert code OR VIEW (need to be able to view)

Scenario 2:

IF ALL usergroups enabled = all access (viewing AND inserting code)

So this is the desired result which I can't seem to get...

"Ad Sharing" usergroup enabled = all access (viewing and inserting code)
All other usergroups = only access to viewing (no option to insert code)

I hope I explained that ok. Forgive me if I just completely missed something that would eliminate this problem. This is why I believe it would be a really good solution to figure out how to make the custom user fields viewable only by set usergroups.

That ability is missing from vBulletin. Originally I wrote an FAQ entry about ad sharing for ad sharing forums using the modification, but I can't use conditionals and it would be unfair to advertise adsharing on forums that have disabled it, so I never included it. A suggestion for Jelsoft I guess, although I think it's already been asked for.

I'd suggest just explaining in the custom field description. Even if conditionals were used, inevitably someone will ask on the forum about it and much the same explanation will have to be put forward anyway for everyone else. It's a comparatively sizable job for a very small change, not something I want to do I'm afraid.

Can anyone else confirm this? Originally that is how I mistakenly wrote it to work, but I thought that this fix in the changelog changed it to function properly: v3.1 Fixed usergroup and userid banning for shared adcode, again now they actually work. What should be happening is that users banned from sharing will see the admin's default code at all times. If that's what's not happening, that's what will happen when I've fixed it.

[AFemaleProdigy]

That is depressing, but I understand. Thanks. I will have to figure out something.

Oops, it's been missing from the instructions all this time and nobody ever said!

Haha! No problem. You have done a lot of work here so I won't hold it against you. ;)

What should be happening is that users banned from sharing will see the admin's default code at all times.

My bad... I worded that wrong. Yes, it is showing the default admin code when the group is disabled. The problem is that I was trying to make the disabled group only unable to add their own code (make use of the ad sharing), but still be able to view ALL other's shared code (not just the admin's). SO, I thought disabled would mean that group had no abillity to insert shared code, but still the abillity to view SHARED ads... not just admin's ads only. Does that make more sense? Sorry.

By the way, I love this mod! Don't want you to think I was complaining too much! Haha! :D

[AFemaleProdigy]

Also, I just made the changes to vb_ad_management_314.xml
and ran the import with the "Allow Overwrite" set to yes, but I am not seeing any changes to the custom block. Do I need to completely reinstall everything for this to work or should just importing do the trick?

[RedTyger]

That is depressing, but I understand. Thanks. I will have to figure out something.


I take it back, I thought of a way to do it and it seems to work OK. It'll be in the next release.

I was getting confused between versions, the perils of using a version that's completely different to the one I'm supporting! How you described is how it should work, if it doesn't then it's a bug. I'll take a look.

I can't test it as I'm working on the next version and can't easily roll back, but it should work. All it does is add a label, as long as you can remember what it's for...

The next version does not require editing the code to add new adcode blocks, so I'd be obliged if you could wait for the easier solution please!

[AFemaleProdigy]

Yeayyyy! How exciting! I am glad you are going to add a way to enable/disable the custom field! Thank you so much! I am sure a lot of people will find that very usefull! Any kind of estimate on when the new version will be released?

I also want to say that it is really great that you do such a good job of supporting this mod and taking the time to answer people's questions about it. I try my best to learn without bothering the developers, but I am still learning. It's a huge help and I know makes us confident in installing your code. I always feel I am taking more of a risk installing things that the owner does not respond to feedback with. Just thought you deserved to know that!

There is no enable/disable, if they don't have ad-sharing access they never see any of the options. Simple as that. :)

Is it possible?

Yes. Just don't activate that feature from the ACP. :)

I know you are probably getting tired of me by now :o but I have noticed something strange. I have the "Identify adcode's owner?" enabled and am now seeing the stars (*) popping up all over even though that user isn't using the ad sharing. They have nothing entered into the custom field I created so the star shouldn't be showing up, right? And it seems to only be on random users. Any ideas? Thanks! :D

To both of you, the code is so different - it's almost entirely rewritten - that I'm not going to fix bugs until the Beta of the next version is out. I apologise, but I'm finding myself taking time to remember how it used to work and it won't be around for much longer, it's not very productive for me.

A small preview of a new Sponsors section, which I've seen used on a lot of forums before on the index page and thought would be a helpful addition.

Hi,

Another Question Please:

The header and footer banners are not shown before login, after a user login to forum the banners show themselves, but I want my banners shown everytime without login, guests must see the advertisements

How can I do that ?

Thanks for your help
Sincerely

[RedTyger]

Add the usergroup id 1 to your usergroup settings in General Settings.

[TongGiang]

I have question, i see you sad that "You cannot see your own shared advertisements!" but i see my ads,too and i must use option "Display advertisements to Usergroups:" to off my ads when i login. have you a another way ?

Hi, I am not sure what's the best way to upgrade the ad management plugin. I have just upgrade my Vb from 3.6.6 to 3.6.8, my current ad man plugin is 3.03.

Do I first revert my templates to original one from the new vb version and then run the plugin again and make all modifications?

Will I have to set up all my campaigns again?

Thanks so much

[RedTyger]

It's only the ad management templates that may need reverting, you should do this after upgrading. Adcode and settings will not have to be set up again.

[skubaman]

Do profiles get a lot of traffic? It makes sense, I'm just not sure it would be worth it.

Hello everyone,

for the peoples having troubles to display the postbit ads ONLY in the announcements with the 3.14 release I have posted the fixe here : http://redtyger.co.uk/discuss/project.php?issueid=27

This is just about a misspelled variable

"I have fighted all day long for that announcement bug not showing up so I think that must be good to throw the tip away"

[a1whs.com]

Just wanted to post here better placement of ads for header and footer instead of default step method mentioned here. Do the following:

In FORUMHOME
<!-- what's going on box --> just above paste:
$footer_advertisement


In navbar
<!-- / PAGENAV POPUP -->
</if>

Just below add (or basically at bottom)

$header_advertisement


In FORUMDISPLAY

<!-- Active Users in this Forum (and sub-forums) and Moderators -->

Above add :
$footer_advertisement

Example of it in action can be found at Bookmark my Services (http://www.bookmarkmyservices.com/forums/)

enjoy

Thank you very much for this nice hack. I've installed the product and added the ads on header and postbit.

I have a question about side column ads. I created a google adsense vertical bar(120x600). When I enable the side column ad, The page is loading really slow. The header ad shows immediately. Then wait for about 5-10 seconds (with status 'done'), all page is displayed. Without the side column ads, header and forum display first, then the statistic part shows after several seconds 'thinking'. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks again

Beautiful mod :)

But i can't use it.
I don't know how activate some functions.

OK i have puted my adsense in footer, every think is OK.
But i can't use the function add the adsense in forumdisplay.php ( like a post ) and in showthread.php ( below the post # X ) ...

Can somebody help me, and explain me how add adsense in these two places ...

Thank you very much

[class101]

for showthread and forumbit that's nnot so much "automatic" you have to setup under wich forums ids it should appear in the vba options, and for the threads there is also options to setup or if it does not works you probably missed the coder instructions in the 1st post

[Kamatch]

Yes but i'm not a very good coder.
I have a little bit dificult to put my adsense in these two places ...

Can somebody tell me how to do, step by step, to put adsense in forumdisplay.php and showtread.php with vB Ad M.

I don't seem to get it working. ADs are displayed but never with the Users-Adcode, always only with my publisher ID.

I made a new custom field, it is field5. The replacement is #shared#.

My ADs are looking like this:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "#shared#";
google_alternate_color = "1B1B1B";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
//2007-10-08: Welcome Area AD
google_ad_channel = "5574964608";
google_color_border = "1B1B1B";
google_color_bg = "1B1B1B";
google_color_link = "0000FF";

[RedTyger]

Are other users reporting that they never see their own shared stuff, or is it just you? Shared code is never displayed to the person who owns it, to avoid accidentally clicking on it yourself and getting into trouble with your ad provider.

Only guests are seing advertisments on my forum.

I logged out and checked another users thread (he entered is pub-xxxxx) and refreshed several times and then looked up the source code. Out of 6 times there were never his ads displayed.

Thanks for the quick reply by the way. Are my settings correct?

I just noticed:
If you only want to exclude usergroups instead of including them, leave this blank to display the advertisement to everyone except those listed below.

Could this be the mistake? I disabled showing advertisments globally for the Usergroups: 5|6|29|39|28. I do not want advertisments to be shown for them, however I would like to allow them pariticipating iat the sharing program.

That probably is it. Technically its correct behaviour, but I'm not sure it should be. I'll mull that one over.

[class101]

an useful option would be to be able to configure differents ads skins for people using several skins, because yet I'm forced to use my dark colors adsense ads on a white and clear skins, not really good we cant setup specific ads for each of our skins.

Have found a workaround for peoples with several styles, if you wanna change your ad colors , setup custom replacement variables within the style section in admincp that way:

you setup to replace the var google_color_bg = "2C2C2C"; by google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; for example and it's working fine without modding any code :)

Wow, thanks. That helped my other prior problems as well!

I wondered if anyone could share acceptable-banner locations for members. I do not want to start them disliking my board because of the banners. Are there good/acceptable locations? Currently only guests see ADs on my board, but it seems to cause problems with the sharing-option.

[class101]

yeah that's an awesome feature replacement variable. I use a lot to change images from style to style without modding the original style, that's really awesome feature.
If you want to make your google ad color code unique , put "//header1" "//header2" that way in the google adsense code located in the vvb ads options

google_ad_channel = "";//thread1
google_color_border = "2C2C2C";//thread1
google_color_bg = "2C2C2C";//thread1
google_color_link = "0B0B0B";//thread1
google_color_text = "000000";//thread1
google_color_url = "008000";//thread1


then it adds a better check on the replacement variable if you replace

google_color_text = "000000";//thread1
to
google_color_text = "FFFFFF";//thread1

that way you sure the replacement variable won't affect another google ads than the one for the threadbit1 you have setup. hope you see what I mean

[RedTyger]

Is anyone interested in Ad Sharing for vBulletin blogs?

Dear All

Left / Right margin not balance, anyone can help ??

You can edit the leftcolumn_advertisement and rightcolumn_advertisement templates, in there is some use of margin. You can change the values if they don't fit. I took the screenshot in Firefox, which has pretty erratic display of columns, so don't do it because of that.

very attrective features, help a lot.

Glad you like it!

Hi,
I install this hack in my forum, but advertisement only display in firefox and ie don't display ads. I install another hack ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=153804 ) and this hack is ok for me and ie support and view my ads.

you removed the product prior to delete file right ? I suggest you to try reuploading the missing files to see if you can access the admincp again then if it works , import the product as you were installing it, then try a uninstall again , I solved many broken installation on my windows os that way

[StarSoheil]

<a href="http://www.site.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.site.com/images/ads.gif" width="468" height="60" alt="site"></a>
Unfortunately my problem don't resolve. you can see my site: (http://www.parsiforums.com/vb) I can't see my advertisement by IE v7.0. :(

[RedTyger]

For Example:
<a href=http://www.site.com target="_blank"><img src="http://www.site.com/images/ads.gif" width="468" height="60" alt="site"/></a>

There is a bug in Internet Explorer which means there must be a space before /> in tags. Try this:

<a href=http://www.site.com target="_blank"><img src="http://www.site.com/images/ads.gif" width="468" height="60" alt="site" /></a>

That would be correct. It's failing because its looking for files that aren't there. Reupload the files, uninstall the product, then remove the files.

Hi,

Excuse my english im from Spain.

It´s possible to add differents adds on differents forums.

For example, I want to show some xxx adds in one forum and another different adds no xxx in other forum.

Hi,

Fantastic mod!

One question though - Can you use banners instead of adsense?

EG:

Having random banners like the one above showing inbetween posts? Ive tried but not having much luck.

If this is possible, what code do I need to put in?

Yes you can use any code you like. Just separate them with the delimiter, like so.

You're also missing the "" around the href="link" part. That could be it? There should be no reason why that code will not work, perhaps the image you are using to is blocked from linking to?

[intellipay]

I apologize in advance if these are stupid newbie type questions....

My plan with this is to utilize Google Adsense in the header, forum, and 1 spot in a thread. I don't think I want to use Ad Sharing? Anyway...

1.) For the header/footer advertisement, do I simply go to vB Options > vB Ad Managment (Header and Footer) and then copy my Adsense code into the static box?

2.) Since Google "feeds" the advertisements based upon content, is there a need to copy any other code elsewhere?

3.) Is Google Analytics code different than the Adsense code and, if so, what does it do?

4.) Can I copy the exact same Adsense code into the same sections for my forum and thread settings in the forumbit and threadbit sections to get it to work properly?

5.) Do I have to complete the “How to add your own custom adcode blocks in 3 minutes” instructions for static Google Adsense code or is this for something else?

Thanks very much for any help!!

1) yes right, I use random in the footer to alternate between text and image ads, I fint it alternate better that way text/images then adsense itself

2) you may use the tags <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> provided by google to have ads with the higher relevance on words between these 2 tags, but on forums that's not simple to do that's why there is vbseo (http://vbseo.com) wich does this automatically :)

3) Yes its totally different, Ganalytics provides only stats from visitors on your website so you must add the correct code, in the footer or header must be enough

4) yep any code, didnt have any conflict with this

5) something else you dont need this

[RedTyger]

I don't know what to tell you, nobody else has reported this problem. I would assume its something to do with your settings, in that case.

there is vbseo (http://vbseo.com) wich does this automatically :)

Ah, well answered! What does vbseo do? If it's useful I'll add it as well.

[class101]

What does vbseo do in general ? or about the <!-- google_ad_section_start --> you mean ?
That's not the main feature of vbseo, just one of the large options available in the vbseo product but about this adsense code, vbseo automatically enclose

<!-- google_ad_section_start --><!-- google_ad_section_end -->

in front of relevant text of the forum and threads, for example, titles, message body, Relevant Replacements (vbseo feature to add relevant text to each thread/forums), all what is relevant to the page to have different ads matching the thread and forum subjects. The cool features is it adds also

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) --><!-- google_ad_section_end -->

wich is the code used by adsense to ignore part of the page, I see on the source it adds this on the member's username & signatures, to not have the members title and signatures altering the ads content, very excellent feature you could add yeah , could feat very well with vb ads heheh and no copyrights on this heheh ;)

Let me know if you wanna much informations, I can work to see where it adds exactly theses codes and you could reproduce the same. Or if you wanna work on yours own RedTyger that's not so hard you can see the instruction directly from Google here (https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=23168).

Interesting, looks well worth doing! But that should be done by editing the templates manually, the places the comments need to go are very unlikely to change and the comments themselves are not dynamic. It would be not be resource-efficient to do this automatically.

yes totally correct this can be done easly, about the resource eating I dunno really cos I don't even know how vbseo is working deeply, is it automatic or not, to say true I'm maybe wrong saying it's automatic , I just mean you don't have to care about because the tool does the job but I don't think this option is eating lots of resource

[class101]

Who has an idea to fix this problem (and btw maybe enhancement suggestion), width altering the look of the forum:

I like vbulletin.com and vbulletin.org styles, with a fixed table width 760px, small width forums are cools for hi-res computers, but using adsense banners 468x49 in the forumdisplay (not the biggest one but probably the most used) the banner width expand the forums table , so the main site table stay to 760px but forum are expanding around 900px so I see a portion of the forum table outside the main table. I know I can't resize adsense image but if anyone know a tip to use theses larges width banners without breaking the layout thanks a lot. I know I can simply put my forum to a 900px but I'd like to find a solution while keeping it to 760pxand not altering the layout, the banners layyout I do not really care , a possible solution would to cut it just before the "Last Post" column for example but don't have a clue how to do.

After clean installation (3.6.8) the "vB Ad Management - Ads in Header (Archive)" module is bound to "archive_process_start" hook giving us an ad block above everything on page, including "doctype, html, body" tags. One thing to mention – I'm using "SEO-friendly" archive which (seemingly) doesn't use any style templates. Switching the module to "archive_postheader" hook solved the problem.

Hi,

Im wondering if someone can help :)

Using The Static code section

If I put to 468x60 adsense banners next to each other, they both show up under the first post, but come the next post - only one of them is showing.

However If I put adsense banner then my own banner next to each other, they show up correctly all the way through. Ive attatched some pics as examples.

Also,

How would it be possible to have two 468X60 banners next to each other, but both being random. I want to use a mixture of adsense and also my own banners. From what I can gather, its only possible to have one banner being shown thats random, but is there an easy way to have two showing at the same time but both random.

Hope all that makes sense!

There is a limit on how many Adsense advertisements show up on a page, I believe the limit is 3. You can check this by viewing the source code and seeing if the code for the advertisement is included 4 times but only showing 3 ads.

AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Choose 'Main CSS' from the theme dropdown menu. Scroll to the bottom where it says "Additional CSS Defintions" and in that box underneath what's there, paste:


img {
border:0;

That removes all borders from all images unless otherwise specified.


Edit - Thanks for the reply in the post above this :) Is there anyway to change the limit, or is this something set by google?


It's Google set.


Looking forward to the next release! Any idea how soon? ;)

I think I should learn from my mistakes and stop saying. It's pretty much finished.

[eJM]

RedTyger,

I've set this mod up a while back on another forum I manage. It works just fine. I have recently decided I would like to install it on my own flooring forum, but have held back for the last week or so in anticipation for the the next version.

Can you tell me if there will be any code editing involved if I go ahead and install this version now and then upgrade when you post the new version? I don't want to rush you and think there is value in this version. But if it's going to entail much editing and configuring when the new version is released, I can wait for a while longer.

Thanks,

Jim

[RedTyger]

I would wait. The next version will unfortunately require removing a current installation, as it is not compatible with earlier versions.

Is there any way to force users to use Adsense ads? I don't want them having free reign over what ad code they put in there because they could post malicious code or porn advertisements.

Thanks.

Just dont allow them to post ads, I dont see the benefits to use shared ads ..

Thanks.

Don't share the entire advertisement, share a small part of it. Leave the "enable HTML" turned off. Use the custom field regex (default vBulletin feature when creating a custom profile field) to restrict what can be entered into the profile field box.

[Vinyljunky]

Hello,

Could somebody explain to me how I can show ads within ibProArcade ?

Oh by the way Thank You for a great mod!

VinylJunky

[RedTyger]

When making the template edits, change $x_advertisement to $GLOBALS[x_advertisement].

[TJFweb]

Hi again RedTyger. Thanks for answering my last question.

I have one more thing to ask - is it possible to specify the forums within which ad sharing is turned on? I only want to enable it for a few forums.

Thanks.

[RedTyger]

Yes, you can specify forums in which it is enabled or forums in which it is disabled.

[class101]

small patch required when you do have ads displayed in the search, like new posts and today posts(not official, search some page ago to know how):

in threadbit_advertisement

FIND

<if condition="$show['inlinemod']">
<td class="alt1Active">
&nbsp;
</td>
</if>


ADD BEFORE


<if condition="$show['forumlink']">
<td class="alt1"></td>
</if>


this fixes the <td> taking the background color of tborder instead of alt1 on the advertisement <tr> row

[razvans]

Hello

I have installed this hack too. i have bought a new vbulletin license only to create a adsense sharing forum

but i have some problems. the ads are showing only when i am logged in as " admin "

i have filled also the form : "Enable Ad Sharing for Usergroups: " with 1|2|3|4|5|6|7
but i can not see the ads. do you know where is the problem ?

Thanks

[RedTyger]

That is only ad sharing enabling. You need to enable ads in general in the Global Settings section. They display to admins only by default.

[razvans]

Thank you very much for your fast reply. i never thought it will be so fast

I have created a new user and i have used a random pub-code for adsense
example : pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

When i am going to that thread started by my fake user the ads are not showing
But if i am looking at the source code the adsense code is there with the right pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Is this a problem from adsense?
Thank you very much for this great plugin

[RedTyger]

I suppose so? All the ad management does is include the additional code, so if its being added correctly I'm not sure what else it could be.

[DieselMinded]

Can you make this work with .swf files?

[RedTyger]

It should work with shockwave already.

[razvans]

I suppose so? All the ad management does is include the additional code, so if its being added correctly I'm not sure what else it could be.

Hi again.

I have used for Adcode replacement : #shared#

And for adsense code i have used :

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "#shared#";
//header-rounded 468x60, created 11/11/07
google_ad_slot = "removed";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

I am sure something is wrong. i have noticed that adsense code is changed
Do you think it works with this new code provided by google ?
Thanks

[RedTyger]

Only one way to find out. :) I'm afraid if the modification is working correctly there's not much I can offer beyond that. Although I guess I could provide a section of a forum for more general ad stuff.

The mod works very good with old versions of adsense codes. not it works very good. if i am switching back to the new type of adsense code the ads are not showing
Thank you for your reply

When I have the plugin enabled, my forums disappear, and I get this error on a white screen.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /mysite.com/forums/includes/vb_ad_management/global_start.php on line 331

Would you have any idea what I might have done wrong?

I have re-uploaded everything, but to no avail.

Only issues when installing the template hacks were that I'm using a custom skin, so didnt have the &nbsp; in my header, so I put it above $spacer_open.

Any help would be greatly aprreciated :)

Thanks.

It must be set up incorrectly somehow, check your settings, template edit, change the advertisment code to plain text to check it.

I tried the new adsense code and while no advertisements appear, a blank space appears of the size where the advertisement should be. I can't tell you what the issue is I'm sorry to say, but the modification is working correctly.

Have you redownloaded the files from here, then overwritten? It sounds like global_start.php has been edited somehow.

[conimus]

When I visit my board as a guest, I can not see any banner or ad. But as soon as I log in as a registered user, I see all the banners.

How can I change this so that every visitor can see the banners?

[RedTyger]

Guests are usergroup 1, add this to your usergroup settings in Global Settings.

Sorry, but I don't understand...

[Dave-M]

Have you redownloaded the files from here, then overwritten? It sounds like global_start.php has been edited somehow.

I downloaded the files from here, did the edit of the files in wordpad (that ok?), upped the files to the server in "auto" mode (could this be it?).

I will redownload and start a fresh and see what happens :)

[RedTyger]

Oh, you edited the file? There's your problem then. Your editing is incorrect.

[Dave-M]

Yes, sorry, have I misunderstood the instructions?

Wasn't there any need to follow the "How to add your own custom adcode blocks in 3 minutes" part?

Should I just reupload the unedited files then?

Thanks for your patience :)

Edit 1: fixed, all my fault :)

Edit 2: can I ask a noob question while I'm here as well please?

If I am using adsense javascript ads, and the are aligning left, what would be the correct way of centering the ads without murdering my skin's layout. If I use <div align="center"> before the <script type="text/javascript"><!-- part of the adsense code, it looks fine in firefox, but it sends my custom skin all out of line in IE.

Any pointers would be great :)

[class101]

I'd like to see on the futur version this type of random ads box build in a iframe/flash look, like on this forum on the top:

http://www.psicofxp.com/forums/

The visitors dont have to refresh that they have already seen tons of ads , I'd like to see this as an optional box like you made for static and random codes /per refresh, that would be so much kickass.

[DAdiguzeL]

It's really good but i can't do banner rotation to left and right side of the forum without coloumns. I did with coloumns and that was not looking so good. Will anyone help me please?

Sorry, I couldn't tell you with a custom theme. The columns are something that I can only really set to work with the default theme out of the box, anything else may need customising to fit. The code it searches for is in the global_start.php file.

I'd really ask the person who designed your style, they'd know best. In the global_start.php are two lines with the left/right_column bits of code (its obvious where they are) with some HTML which is what is added to the style.

Can this mod also place the advert after the last post instead of the first post?

Yes, it's just an on/off button.

Amazing add-on! Please help me through this speed bump. I'm trying to install this and i have a different forum theme. Currently my forum only displays header ads to the admin! Where exactly should i place the $header_advertisement in my header?

Not to sound unhelpful, but you can put it anywhere you like. If it doesn't look right, just move it until it does. :) Sounds like you may not have changed the Usergroup setting in Global Settings yet, all ads show to the admin only by default.

Yes. There's one footer-specific section and you can add an additional custom section to the footer as well from the AdminCP.


Ive also got Forum Sponsor currently installed - Im presuming i'll gave to uninstall this, but prior to that, does your forum sponsor part of the mod work the same way?


If you have a lot of forums, you may find it painful to do the same with my modification as it would require a template conditional for each for you wanted to do it for, although its perfectly possible. Its much more "hands on" in exchange for flexibility. The sponsors section on mine has a different purpose (box of sponsors in the footer) so it may not suit you anyway.[/QUOTE]



Can anyone help me with my issue?

I'm out of ideas I'm sorry to say. You seem to be doing nothing wrong. You could try disabling all other plugins to make sure there's no conflict, trying another advertisement section like the header to see if its a problem specific to the postbit advertisement, substituting the javascript ad for plain text for testing or trying the beta of the next version and seeing if that works for you (link at the top of the first post).

They're two very different things, people commonly use the two together. OpenAds provides the advertisements, vB Ad Management lets you manage them specifically within your forum, broadly speaking.

Is the BETA working fine?
the regular version doesn't work, but beta does work... almost.

[powerful_rogue]

For some reason vb_ad_management.xml isnt in the folder for 4.00 Beta. The only xml file included is languages/vb_ad_management_english.xml

[eJM]

vb_ad_management_english.xml is in the languages folder. vb_ad_management.xml is in the main archive folder.

All I got int he download was two folders.

Uploads

Ive downloaded again and im still missing the all important file :(

I cant help im afraid, but do you have a copy of the vb_ad_management.xml for 4.00 beta you could share with me, it seems to be missing from the download.

It really isnt showing when I download it. Ive downloaded three times from your website and its just not there :(

[DieselMinded]

It should work with shockwave already.

i have tried 2 different .swf files and it just shows a link

[RedTyger]

What code are you using?

[powerful_rogue]

For some reason the files are showing in the zipped file, however once I unzip they dont appear.
Ive tried using winrar and winzip - but neither files appear once unzipped.
Is anyone able to assist at all as really want to try v4.00 Beta

Edit - Also appears there is an includes file that shows in the zipped version, but that dosent unzip either.
If I try to unzip on their own, they come up as hidden files.

[RedTyger]

Oh I am sorry, you're quite right they're set as hidden files. I had no idea that affected other computers.

I've rezipped and reuploaded the files, try now.

[powerful_rogue]

Cheers RT. Thought i was going mad!

All downloaded, will upgrade to this version tonight :D

The Posts and Threads/views columns on the far right side of forum board are displayed with dashes in them when advertisements are placed in a thread. These should be blank as I don't use the Post/Thread/views count columns on my site for the simple reason my board isn't for community posting.

I looked for dashes in php templates for this mod and checked various vb templates trying to see where these dashes come from but, alas I just ended up with sore eyeballs.

Attached is a jpg showing the two columns with the dashes in them, just follow the red arrow.

Any suggestions as to how to get rid of these darn dashes would be appreciated.

Google does not allow more than 3 of its advertisements on a page.

In the appropriate templates (i.e. threadbit_advertisement) you are looking for something like this:

<td class="alt1Active">
-
</td>


Just delete what looks like that, ensuring that you remove everything from <td to </td>.

I uploaded ad management beta 4 and imported xml, was there anything else I was supposed to do? it looks sorta weird, the dropdown looks weird with a *, which i do not see on the rest of the VB drop down menu.

Thanks for your help.

[RedTyger]

Sounds like you haven't uploaded the languages/vb_ad_management_english.xml file.

[RedTyger]

Well, the next version of vBulletin will include advertisement locations by default.

I'll wait and see what they've done before releasing the next version, assuming it is still worth releasing.

Hi,

I have installed your mod, and it's great ,but I have some problems with the right-left columns.

On the main forum the left column looks great, but inside an subforum it has a weird spacing between the forum and the column.Am I doing something worng? How can I remove the weird spacing ?

im not charity to run ad-sharing, there is no money in sharing ads.

Thanks

[eJM]

Don't upload vb_ad_management_english.xml file, import it just as you do other .XML files. You will find it in the languages folder.

You can use this add-on for anything you like and you don't have to use the ad-sharing part if you don't want. Sell your ads any way you want and put the ad code in the appropriate section.

I have a couple questions...

how can i edit/change the Remove Advert's link?

with beta 4, do i still need to make the google changes
that are located at the top of this page?

im a little confused about the forum options, which section
do i enter/change to allow ads to show like every 10 posts?

is there a bug with the sponsor? my footer link is showing,
and sponsors are turned on, and nothing is showing.

there is a ; at the top right of my screen, I dont think
i saw it there before i installed your script, could your
script be placing it there?

postbit places a sponsor link under every single
post, no matter what the settings are, now
i get an error msg with postbit is on, and it works
fine when i turn it off, tried it in IE and Firefox.

Forumbit does not seem to work and threadbit is shown on
like every other thread when enabled...

Left/Right colums seems to show two boxes
on each side...is that right? doesnt look right...


Thanks

[RedTyger]

Both that and Sponsored Links are a phrase. You can either edit the phrase to change it across all templates, or edit it in each template individually.

I see no mention of any Google changes, what do you mean? There's information about this version in the manual: http://redtyger.co.uk/manual.php?product=vB+Ad+Management&version=4.00+Beta

Postbit.

is there a bug with the sponsor? my footer link is showing,
and sponsors are turned on, and nothing is showing.

Possibly, it is a beta. :) What adcode are you using?

there is a ; at the top right of my screen, I dont think
i saw it there before i installed your script, could your
script be placing it there?

Possibly, but its more likely a template edit. Several people have done that before when editing &nbsp; because they don't see the ; at the end. Check the appropriate template.

Both that and Sponsored Links are a phrase. You can either edit the phrase to change it across all templates, or edit it in each template individually.

this is a little vague to me, exactly which files are you refering to edit?

I also see that you did get the sponsor section working, what did you do? or
did i do something wrong? I also noticed you turned postbit on also, did you
notice it was posting a banner after every single post...im not sure if you checked
everything else or not...I also noticed no ads in private msgs when i sent
myself a msg, although, i do not remember seeing anything specific in admin
relating to private msg adcode setup.

Thanks

I am using B4 - so your suggesting on waiting on reporting bugs, you are basicly
saying just release 4 then worry about the bugs. the reason for beta is to find
the bugs and fix them, not wait, who wants a stable v4 full of bugs?

I don't really understand the ad world well yet.

It seems like this mod will help me manage the ads in vbulletin.

I am also considering OpenAd - I think it will provide all the campaign management and reporting.

Does anybody have any recommendations about using OpenAd (with this mod) or perhaps reccomend anther ad package?

thanks!

Hi, yes. The repeating postbit problem was a bug, my mistake. The others were errors in your advertisement setup, most importantly you must either make the template edits manually or automatically, not both. That's why you had 2 copies of ads in some places.

Did you happen to fix the bug? or do i need to wait for the release of v4? what do you mean by editing the templates automatically?

can you explain in better detail about the errors?

The instructions in this thread were for the old version (now gone). The instructions for the beta were in the manual.

I removed what I saw, but yes if you are using automatic template edits and find your ads appearing twice, you should remove the advertisement lines in the templates.

4.00 not work with me

[tarball]

I get a blank page when product is activated.

[soulplayer]

I'm having the following error:

All ads are visible on the forums for my normal users, but on my "admin" forum they are not there... Nothing..
That forum is only visible for the admins so mayby it has something to do with that?

[nanaimobar]

Thanks RedTyger. Terrific update/upgrade. Followed your instructions on upgrading from 3.x and had no problems.

[cygy2k]

With your new version there are a couple bugs

1- There is no option to remove the text below ads that reads "Remove Advertisements".

2- There is a settings tab on the left but also a settings option in the overall vBulletin Options section that pulls up with no text but with setting areas. (i.e. the pages loads but no text, only check boxes and text boxes)

I upgraded as instructed.

To those with issues, make sure you uploaded the files after you imported the product and language files. I also had to switch it off until I had my adcode inserted.

[redlabour]

BUG 1:

Language File is broken and the normal Product installs without any Phrases. All Options in AdminCP from vBAdManagement are broken now.

BUG 2:

All Ads are broken after upgrading.

How to rollback? Which Table is to be restored after uninstalling 4.0 and installing 3.1 to get my Advertisment Codes back??? *omg*

Red,

Ok, I installed v4

Ive enabled header
I placed banner code
banner code shows in preview
I placed header automatic insertion: top

it works, I do not like the position of the banner, how can i place
it how you saw it the first time? top/right of the sceen, straight
across from the VB logo? or even drop the banner down somewhat
to make it appear more normal.

Did everyone having problems follow the instructions properly? You cannot upgrade from 3.xx to 4.00. You must uninstall first, then install. (http://redtyger.co.uk/manual.php?product=vB+Ad+Management&version=4.00#installation)

Please try and bear with me if you're having problems, its an awful lot of people upgrading at the same time. :)

I did uninstall from the Product Manager and removed the folder you mentioned in the instructions. I followed the directions to a T.

[RedTyger]

1- There is no option to remove the text below ads that reads "Remove Advertisements".

2- There is a settings tab on the left but also a settings option in the overall vBulletin Options section that pulls up with no text but with setting areas. (i.e. the pages loads but no text, only check boxes and text boxes)


1. Removing this must be done manually now. Look for <phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[adintegrate_remove_ads]</phrase> in the applicable template and just delete it.

2. That is an unfortunate side-effect of the way that the vBulletin products are set up. It'll just have to be ignored I'm afraid.

[redlabour]

There are no Instruction in the *.zip File so everyone thinks its only overwritting. :down:

Hi,
Look for <phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[adintegrate_remove_ads]</phrase> in the templates. You can move it where you want and replace the $vboptions[bburl] part with where you want it to link to.

To change the text, edit the phrase adintegrate_remove_ads with the phrase manager.

I appreciate its a little more unwiedly in some ways, but this way allows for different setups in different places and is also a little more efficient for your forum speed-wise. :)

Question

I had the old version (3.1) installed and I had gone through and put in several template edits that you instructed for the placement of ads. Can we remove those or do we still need them? I don't have the 3.1 instructions now so don't know off hand what templates you had us modify.

Template edits are done just the same in this version, so you can still make use of them if you want. Just make sure you don't use the new automatic template edits or they'll be added twice.

I've attached two files to this post, try overwriting them and see if that solves your problem.

vb_ad_management.php goes in your admincp directory.
vb_ad_management.xml is uploaded using your product manager, set overwrite to yes.

I have attached the 3.14 version to the main post, uploading the older xml may restore the old settings.

No does not. All Fields are blank now. And i cant find the old File needed in my includes Folder of my Backup. Where are the Settings saved ?

Big Bug--

When activated, nobody can login. You enter your login details and click on the submit button and it takes you to a blank page. You can't even login to the AdminCP. Now you can try loging into the AdminCP and then if you know a link in it get in the back way.

NOTE - this is with a perfectly untouched copyright and footer.
