To avoid any misunderstandings. This is NOT my mod. I got a disappointed feeling when I read that post and I wrote what I felt at that time.
Actually if it was my own mod, most probably it has to be in Graveyard now:D
Anyway Thank you for the supporting words to the author of this mod. He deserves them. I read the features and I can guarantee that it's a least a month's hard work, offered for free to the community.

If you want to give a try, upload the attached file at:

I'm not sure if it will fix it or not, but seems that a required file is missing. If it does not fix it then re-upload the original and wait the author to post a fix.

It doesn't show up for me on my dev board, I guess some other mod I'm running is already including that class.

That's pretty impressive, I'd think you'd receive a DB error about a missing phrasegroup dbtech_forumads before you ever got to that page if you hadn't installed the mod yet :)

Archive, Thread, Board, Forum etc. because i'm not offering ad space on all these parts of forum

Your skin has just over 1000 pixels of usable space, whereas the minimum resolution found in most browsers today is over 1300 pixels (the screens in cheap laptops are 1366x768 I believe, with smartphones and desktops leading the charge by offering 1920x1080).
There's currently no way to hide the images for areas where you don't offer advertising - those are all the native locations vBulletin supports ads.

Thanks for the mod,I can see great potential for this...Question? When they upload an ad for consideration were is that file actually saved? How do you point your ad location to that image? Is it automatically done,and are we talking static images or can they upload .swf...I tried a flash file but I couldn't find were it had uploaded to,it wasn't in the banner folder..
Thanks..

Seems like a great mod so far! I have a few questions.
1) How does it handle sites that also use google adsense? Is it able to use adsense as the alternative if purchased ad-space isn't filled? Is there a threshhold you can set that the ad CPM must reach before they are allowed to replace adsense ads?
2) How does the keyword targeting work? Does it replace every single word that occurs throughout the entire site, or can you specify a percentage of chance a keyword is replaced or # of keyword impressions or specific forum sections? I don't like the idea of replacing every occurrence of a word. It might seem like link spam to google. Does it have the option to use an intermediary link redirect?
3) Is there any way to charge per ad/keyword clicked?
4) Are we able to disable certain ad spots? I don't mind if it shows them all, but I only want to offer certain spots.
5) It would also be awesome if we could offer custom ad spots (with code that could be manually inserted into the templates).. For example, if we wanted small box or skyscraper ads on the right side of the forum. They don't have to have an image, perhaps just a description created by the admin.
Thank You!

The browser size issue sounds like a problem. According to Google, nearly 50% of browsers still are below 1250. See http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/ . While the largest percentage of users may be at 1366, A) that doesn't mean the actual window size is that large, and B) 49% could still be well below that amount. I would target at least 75% of all users.

How do you point your ad location to that image? Is it automatically doneIt is indeed automatic :)
are we talking static images or can they upload .swf...Flash files are not supported at this time.
1) How does it handle sites that also use google adsense? Is it able to use adsense as the alternative if purchased ad-space isn't filled? Is there a threshhold you can set that the ad CPM must reach before they are allowed to replace adsense ads?This mod does not feature adsense integration for placeholders at this time. If you post that @ our site, we'll take it into consideration :)
2) How does the keyword targeting work? Does it replace every single word that occurs throughout the entire site, or can you specify a percentage of chance a keyword is replaced or # of keyword impressions or specific forum sections?It replaces every instance of a word in a post - that counts as one impression.
It only replaces keywords in posts.
Does it have the option to use an intermediary link redirect?It does use a redirect, in order to support tracking clicks.
3) Is there any way to charge per ad/keyword clicked?Not retroactively, but as per the OP you can sell ads that are sold per 1 click/impression/day and advertisers can choose how many of the chosen metric they wish to buy in advance.
4) Are we able to disable certain ad spots? I don't mind if it shows them all, but I only want to offer certain spots.Don't create banner spaces for those ad spots :p
5) It would also be awesome if we could offer custom ad spots (with code that could be manually inserted into the templates).. For example, if we wanted small box or skyscraper ads on the right side of the forum. They don't have to have an image, perhaps just a description created by the admin.You can do this by creating a new ad_locations_vissacustomads.xml XML file in /includes/xml.
If you open ad_locations_vbulletin.xml you'll see the format. Once you rebuild vBulletin's ad locations, and run Forum Ads' maintenance task to rebuild ad integration, you will have the option of a new banner space location.
You can then place the {vb:raw ad_location.whateveryounamedit} in a template.
The browser size issue sounds like a problem. According to Google, nearly 50% of browsers still are below 1250. See http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/ . While the largest percentage of users may be at 1366, A) that doesn't mean the actual window size is that large, and B) 49% could still be well below that amount. I would target at least 75% of all users.That site seems like it's not being updated any more in favour of Google Analytics on a per-site basis.
The statistics from W3Schools seem to counter your claim: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp & http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_resolution_higher.asp for a breakdown of what "Higher" means.
So by targeting 1366px width, we are actually targeting over 90% of all users :)
We tend to design our products for the majority, and it's clear that the overwhelming majority have a higher screen resolution. Sure, this may not fit every single individual forum, but we can still say it covers the majority :)
A community catering to teaching the elderly about computing and the internet will probably have a higher percentage of IE users running older versions of Windows.
Does that mean we support IE6 on WinXP? Not by any stretch.
A community regarding hardware overclocking will probably have a higher percentage of Chrome or Firefox users running the newest version of Windows. Does that mean we don't support IE? Not by any stretch.
Update: Our Managing Director has informed me that for the future I should make the table of images fluid so that it can shrink to 1 image per line if the window is too narrow (and expand to 3+ images per line if the window is "too wide"), so look for that in a future update :)

Thank you very much for your answers.. Regarding browser size. W3schools site says at the very top
W3Schools.com is for people with an interest for web technologies. This fact indicates that the numbers below might not be 100% true for the average internet users. The average internet-user might have a lower screen resolution.
I do believe W3schools data is very skewed, as they themselves say is possible. I even found a forum discussion on their site stating it is skewed and doesn't include mobile browsers. 90% of browser sizes (which is not the same as screen size) are not over 1300px wide.. Especially considering the massive growth in mobile browsers, which have actually brought in a revival of lots of smaller and strange screen sizes (very tall and narrow).
Here's some useful contrary links regarding regarding browser viewport (again, different from screen size), and why it's bad to design based on reported screen size.
Web Browser Window Size Matters More than Monitor Resolution (http://webdesign.about.com/od/webdesignbasics/a/aa041607.htm)
Screens are getting bigger, but not the browser viewport (http://beantin.se/post/32275497175/computer-screens-browser-viewport-2012)
Browser screen resolution stats rile devs (http://www.netmagazine.com/news/browser-screen-resolution-stats-rile-devs-121897)
Update: Glad to hear you will be making the design fluid to fit varying widths.. I think it's a good decision.
lazytown
06-03-2013, 08:05 PM
Oh, and see the following stats for the past 3 months (US only), which shows the #1 most used size in the US is still 1024x768 as of May 2013.
Desktop Screen Resolution (USA, last 3 months -- does NOT include mobile browsers)
http://gs.statcounter.com/#resolution-US-monthly-201303-201305-bar
(takes a while to compute stats and load)
For desktops, screen resolution does not equal browsers size. Very large screen widths (like 2000+) are probably dual monitors, and people with very wide screens do not usually open their browser full-screen.
You can probably find totally different stats on other websites.. It all depends on the type of website and the parameters (desktop, mobile, country, etc).

DBTech,
Since this integrates into the options you have automatically with vbulletin, then that means a potential advertiser can choose all the same spaces, correct?
DragonByte Tech
12-15-2013, 10:10 PM
That's correct :)
If you set up banner spaces on all the locations vBulletin offers advertising space, they will be able to choose between them when purchasing ads :)

Yeah, I was just going through the settings.
It isn't allowing me to add a currency. The other settings pages all show like a default vbulletin settings page. The currency one is showing a white background with all options and text to the left. Is that normal?

Will this mod work on Vb 3.8?No, the Advertising system that this mod is built on does not exist on vB 3.8. Sorry :(

I was uploading files for a different mod, from you, but I couldn't get it to work...I went to uninstall that mod and delete those associated files. In the process, I accidently deleted files for this mod. I reuploaded all the files since I wasnt sure which got deleted, but now I get this error and dont know how to fix it.

Currently use Adsense and intend to keep using it long term, however would like the option for people to buy directly (either to go above the 3 ad limit of Adsense, or just to maximize income).
I get enough emails to our webmaster address and on our facebook page asking to buy ad space so this plugin could take care of that need without having to put lots of time behind it :)

What's the point then Fillip? CMS is just so overlooked by forum developers...4.2.3(?) is a publishing suite and all you guys need to get your heads around that...how do I compete with Wordpress sites where developers actually finish their mods...I am very cranky atm.

I would like to remind you that your anger over this unfortunate change does not give you the right to insult ourselves or the IB developers, as we are still human beings. You would not appreciate it if I insulted you over a response like this, as much as it angers me to hear this tone taken, so please do not subject others to what you would not appreciate to receive in return.

sorry but after some time ago I had to close the plugin for a complete configuration, (before was working) when i have reopened today it say:
Admin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1) Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2) If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

No, you will not lose settings. Settings are saved in the database, which will not be overwritten by uploading new files and re-importing the .xml file.
To update you need to install all files including the .xml.

That is where you went wrong. NEVER uninstall before upgrading unless you are specifically told to in the upgrading instructions. Uninstalling prior to upgrading in almost all cases WILL DELETE your previous settings - this is not want you typically want to do with any mod.
You will not find the word "uninstall" in the upgrade instructions of this mod (or almost any mod).
Instructions included with this mod:
First Time Installation / Upgrade
1. Upload all files from the "upload" folder to your forums directory.
2. Import the product-dbtech_forumads.xml file from the "XML" folder at
AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
3. Add your user ID to "Super Administrators" in config.php if you have
not done so already.
4. Under the "DBTech - Forum Ads" AdminCP menu, click "Maintenance"
then run "Repair" and "Rebuild Keyword Database".
5. CHMOD the following folder to 0777
/dbtech/forumads/images/banners
6. That's it! You can start editing settings and setting usergroup permissions.
The only way to recover your old settings is if you made a copy of the database prior to uninstalling.

You would either need to move an existing ad location, or create a new ad_location_*.xml file in the /includes/xml folder, then rebuild Forum Ads' integration via the Maintenance area. You should then be able to choose this new location for usage in Forum Ads :)

RBS= Rotating Banner System. It is also an excellent (free) mod that allows you to place banners anywhere.
Unlike your system, one can place a code in a template and locate a banner anywhere on the webpage. This will allow me, for example, to place a banner in the center of the list of forums on the home page, or in a post.
As far as I know, RBS plays nice with your mod, so they can both be run at the same time to maximize monetization of a site.

Last, when I entered 468x60 banners to test, there is white space, AND the banner on the right header invades the top button space.

That white space is annoying. How can I get rid of that?

It would be different CSS all together. I still see no banner in that position.
Here is the solution to moving the banner in the right header down so that it does not block the buttons on the top right:
Success!
Place this in the additional.css template:
#ad_global_header2 {
padding-top: 15px;
}
#ad_global_header1 {
padding-top: 15px;
}
Header #2 will clear the buttons, and header #1 will line up with it!

But you DIDN'T answer this question on your site! I waited for DAYS. Nor did you answer on here.
So I really don't know where you get off posting that, especially since I have bought about 8 of your paid mods Your customer service leaves a lot to be desired which is WHY I asked here in case someone else could help because you don't.
This mod leaves white space around ads on my site and is awful to use!! It conflicts with other mods. And isn't it about time you made manuals for your mods if you don't want to answer a lot of questions???
Finally, you have no right to TELL me not to ask questions here. You can ignore them, as you did for days on your site and here, but this isn't your site to be bossing people around on.
I have customers for banner ads, and your failure to provide support is costing us money.
I will switch to RBS. I encourage others to do likewise. You can see how Filip is to deal with when you have problems.

But you DIDN'T answer this question on your site! I waited for DAYS. Nor did you answer on here.You posted your query @ our site on the 1st of December at 04:02 AM UK time. You posted a duplicate thread on the 2nd of December at 1:45 PM UK time.
You received a response to your duplicate thread explaining why your query went unanswered on the 2nd of December at 2:15 PM UK time.
You received a detailed response that answered one of your points, requested more information regarding another, and resolved your third question on the 2nd of December at 5:08 PM.
I'm a bit confused as to how this translates into you having waited for days?
This mod leaves white space around ads on my site and is awful to use!!This issue has been resolved as per my reply on the 2nd of December at 5:08 PM :)
It conflicts with other mods.At the time of writing this, I have yet to receive a response from you regarding the nature of the conflict.
And isn't it about time you made manuals for your mods if you don't want to answer a lot of questions???I do agree that we could do a better job regarding manuals.
Finally, you have no right to TELL me not to ask questions here. You can ignore them, as you did for days on your site and here, but this isn't your site to be bossing people around on.I guess it's a good thing I didn't tell you to do anything then, isn't it? :)
I have customers for banner ads, and your failure to provide support is costing us money.I do apologise for the delay, but as per my response on the 2nd of December at 2:15 PM UK time, Mondays are not good days to expect fast support unfortunately :(
I am extremely busy during Mondays, due to the fact that I have a lot of preparations to do for releases that night. I endeavour to get to any unanswered support queries as soon as I can on the day afterwards, i.e. Tuesday, which is exactly what happened in your case :)

NONE of the issues have been resolved.
This mod apparently does NOT permit integration with ADSENSE. To use this mod, you have to give up all the income you make on ADSENSE. RBS integrates with ADSENSE.
Next, your proposed solution to the WHITE SPACE is not a solution, since the files you told me to make changes to do not have the elements you told me to change. :-))))
Next, the mod that permits moderators and super moderators to approve registrations does not work with THIS mod, because it does not provide notifications of pending registrations the way it does when it is working. This renders the approval mod worthless when your mod is enabled.
This is currently working as intended, see this thread for more details & information: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f220/integrate-other-ad-networks-like-google-adsense-13664/
In other words, your mod does NOT support ADSENSE. To use it, we have to give up the revenues we receive from ADSENSE.
Can you please specify the nature of the conflict? "It doesn't work" doesn't really tell me anything I need to know in order to fix it :)
Please provide the full description of the problem, as well as step-by-step instructions for how to replicate the problem. Without this information, I am unable to assist you.
There are NO notifications of pending registrations when someone enables your FORUMADS mod. Thus, this mod: Moderate New User Registrations (ModCP Option) - vBulletin.org Forum (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228950) does NOT show pending registrations to moderators and supermoderators when YOUR mod is enabled. That makes the mod useless.
Make the following changes to the dbtech_forumads_global.css CSS Template:
1. .dbtech-wrapper-block - remove border: 1px solid #000000;
2. .dbtech-wrapper-block.dbtech-wrapper-block-noblockbg - remove #FFFFFF
That file contains none of those elements:
dbtech_forumads_global.css contains the following:
@charset "UTF-8";
.dbtech-wrapper-block {
display:inline-block;
margin:{vb:stylevar dbtech_forumads_block_margin};
border:{vb:stylevar dbtech_forumads_block_border};
}
.dbtech-wrapper-block img {
border:0;
}
.dbtech-wrapper-block.dbtech-wrapper-block-noblockbg {
background:{vb:stylevar dbtech_forumads_noadblock_bg};
}
.dbtech-wrapper-block.dbtech-wrapper-block-phbg {
background:{vb:stylevar dbtech_forumads_placeholder_bg};
}
Thus, I cannot remove what you specified. Your solution does not work. The white boxes remain, annoying as ever!
Solutions for issues such as the "white box" issue should be documented somewhere. When I get solutions, I post them on here for others to use so that they don't have the same issues I had (in other words, I share with others).
I would rather have nothing then play trial and error on my site with mods and have to debug them myself and basically act as your beta tester for the mods I buy. My users are annoyed that things are not working properly, as well they should be!
Please don't sell any more mods without written documentation and/or a manual!

In other words, your mod does NOT support ADSENSE. To use it, we have to give up the revenues we receive from ADSENSE.You can still use AdSense banners alongside the banners from this mod. The ability to have AdSense banners rotate alongside sold banners in the same banner space is a feature we intend to implement in the next version, which should be coming within a week or two.
There are NO notifications of pending registrations when someone enables your FORUMADS mod.

}
.dbtech-wrapper-block.dbtech-wrapper-block-phbg {
background:{vb:stylevar dbtech_forumads_placeholder_bg};
}
Thus, I cannot remove what you specified. Your solution does not work.Edit the StyleVar dbtech_forumads_block_border and remove the contents of it.
Edit the StyleVar dbtech_forumads_noadblock_bg and remove the contents of the Color setting.

Our forum of 10,000 members has discontinued use of this product due to the difficulty of use, the conflicts with other mods, the lack of a manual, and the lack of timely and friendly support.
BTW- Our customers do not want to place the ads themselves- they want us to do it. I fail to understand why the coders of these products continue to add features that are not desired by commercial advertisers, yet fail to fix issues that plague their products. It is almost like they are out of touch with their customers. And when you suggest features that are desired by your customers, they give you a boilerplate response "we will keep it in mind". My dealings in this thread should serve as an example to those considering this product. There are issues for which there are no documented solutions (no manual), and when you ask a question, you can almost sense the sneering and flippant way you are responded to. This is not the way to provide customer service or to endear website owners to you. We paid for lifetime upgrade and support of their products, about 5 or more of them, and feel we are entitled to better. I am sure this will bring some response, but, as I am busy myself with my forum, this will be my last word on this. Despite our purchases, we are slowly phasing out the use of their products.

Hi there,
Your first post was on a Monday, which is our busiest day of the week, that’s why it took us 30 hours or so to respond to you. I apologize for that delay; we typically aim to respond to support queries within a day at of them being posted at the absolute latest. After that initial delay we responded to your additional post on our site within an hour, which is closer to our average response time.
When the support is delayed, we explain why, and also let customers know what helps us respond quicker, e.g not posting the same question multiple times in multiple places. Again, my apologies if you found us asking you not to do that unfriendly.
And when you suggest features that are desired by your customers, they give you a boilerplate response "we will keep it in mind".
All feature requests are added to our tracking system on DBTech. Where a feature is possible, we give the response that it will be considered when we are next updating the product. If it’s not possible, we say as much. There isn’t really any other response we can give. We can’t promise a feature will be included until the next version is being planned.
We ask people to post feature requests in our support forums, rather than here @ vBulletin.org, because we have a highly complex tracking system that remembers every single feature request posted since the beginning of DBTech.
Every time we update a product we go through the entire list of features marked as under consideration. We then decide which requests to add during this update based on a variety of factors, such as how long they would take to implement, how many people have requested/liked a feature and whether or not the feature would benefit all forums or only those in a specific niche.
Our customers do not want to place the ads themselves- they want us to do it. I fail to understand why the coders of these products continue to add features that are not desired by commercial advertisers, yet fail to fix issues that plague their products. It is almost like they are out of touch with their customers.
Almost all of the new features we add in updates are requests from customers. We do our best to accommodate feature requests, even if it’s a feature that not every single one of the users will find a use for.
and when you ask a question, you can almost sense the sneering and flippant way you are responded to. This is not the way to provide customer service or to endear website owners to you.
It’s difficult to convey tone via text, but I can assure you that wasn’t our intention. We try to convey information as clearly and concisely as possible.
We paid for lifetime upgrade and support of their products, about 5 or more of them, and feel we are entitled to better.
We always strive to do better, and the delay in providing an initial response to your issue was well outside of our average support wait time.
Regarding manuals for our products, that is an area we are looking to improve upon. We have conducted surveys of our customers several times in the past where we have compared the time it would take to create a manual with the number of features we could add instead. Every single survey has come back with a huge majority saying they would prefer more features over documentation. While in an ideal would we could provide both, time is a finite resource and we use our time in the way the majority of our customer’s request. Unfortunately you can’t please everyone.
Other than that it appears your complaint appears to be that you interpreted our responses as being rude or unfriendly, and thought your feature request was being ignored. That wasn’t the case. I would kindly suggest reading the responses again and assuming they were intended to be friendly; you may find your assumption about the tone they were conveying changes as a result.
I hope my response has at least clarified some things for you, and I again apologize unreservedly for the delay in our response to your first issue.
Kind Regards
Iain Kidd

My biggest problem is the lack of documentation of any kind, be it a manual or documentation on the site. You run into an issue, like trying to lower the global header locations, and there is no documentation of how to do that.
In my case, I played with the stylevars until I found one which would remove that ridiculous white space with the notation "please don't block the banner ads". That is how I remedied it.
And the support....well....I don't have to beat a dead horse, so I won't....

If those other modifications use the standard vBulletin "Advertising" functionality to add banners between posts, then those modifications will also work with ForumAds.
If they do not use the standard vBulletin "Advertising" functionality, then they are vastly different to this mod and cannot be compared in any way, shape or form.
Saying "this other mod does X so you should too" is like saying "this car can do 250 mph so all cars should too", which is simply not the case.

Hi Fillip
thank you for the fast reply.
I just have banners that are already paid for that I want to add manually. Can I do this? They paid a year in advance before this software.
I defined the banner space but don't know where to upload the banner or insert a link to where the banner is on my server
I hope this helps
Ok so I figured out to add them manually but not sure how to get them to rotate. If I just use the code example ( <a href="http://cdmagurus.com" target="_blank"> <img src="http://gurus-group.com/images/sig.jpg"></a>)
but it just stacked them on top of each other. How do I get them to randomly rotate?
Thanks for the help
I have to agree with the others. The lack of suppprt and or manual I will be removing this from my forum. My question is very simple and easy to answer.
You need a manual for your mods. You would make get people to the pro versions for sure
Thanks

Try Rotating Banner System (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=188328&highlight=rotating+banners).

I must say, they give much faster and better support on their site, which is actually just fine (at least for me).
Even though I must admit they didn't solved some bugs they recognized as bugs, even in pro versions (there's bug that affects only two of their pro versions, if you have only version, it doesn't matter, so you can say that they give much more support to their free products than to their pro versions).
But, all in all, it's much better support than I received for my other pro versions bought from other people. And I must say, all critical problems are always solved.

I just got the pro version, is there a way to do a custom mod where payment gateway can offer other options like coingate so I can take bitcoin payments? Alot of people are going the cryptocurrency route now and not to much Fiat options anymore. Since this is a crypto forum I have I will be shot to offer any other payment and to have it built in would be nice.

We do not handle support queries for the Pro version here @ vBulletin.org, since only the Lite version is available here.
Thanks!
Anyway, this mod supports vBulletin's built-in Payment API system so if you already have such payment options for things like paid subscriptions, no further work is needed :)

There are a few plug ins for Bitcoin. I do not know how good they are, I haven't used them.
