You want to visit AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options and the vB Ad Management settings will all be there in a few sections near the bottom of the list.

You won't see a difference until you've found the settings as you haven't added the advertisement code you want to display yet. :)

Don't forget to click install so you will receive update notifications (top right of the first post).

Hi there, i did what you said:

"You want to visit AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options and the vB Ad Management settings will all be there in a few sections near the bottom of the list."

i cant see it, not in the the list!

I will tell you what i did and maybe you can pick up where i have gone wrong.

1. i downloaded the zip file and opened it.
2. i opened the zip folder, opened the 'includes' folder and uploaded the 'vb_ad_management' folder to the 'includes' folder of my vbulletin installation,
3. then followed these rest of the instructions 'Go to Style Manager > Edit Templates and...'

was i supposed to do anything else? thats all the instructions said?

Too bad I have installed an ad on in firefox that blocks all ads otherwise this would actually work for me when go to sites.

Yes, basically I want to place the contents of the random adcode block into any template without any additional formatting stuff surrounding the block content. Are you saying that the variable $leftcolumn_adcode represents this data?

Example:
$leftcolumn_adcode = <a href="link to advertiser website1"><img src="link to image1"></a>

So that anywhere I place $leftcolumn_adcode, I will have the equivalent of the above html inserted? I understand about adding custom blocks and will likely do that, but I was just trying to isolate the html stuff as shown above without all the extra table formatting code that is included with the $leftcolumn_advertisement variable.

Ah. Do you see the .xml file that is also in the .zip file? You must upload this using the Product Manager in your AdminCP. :)


That would be correct. It's easy enough to test and see. :)

Hey There very nice hack.. I believe I have followed your instructions in installing to the T but I am unable to get it to work for me. My knowldge in php is slim to none so I might have over looked something.. should I delete everything and try from the begining again?

Without any further details I don't have much option except to say "Yes". ;) I've installed modifications wrong before, it happens to the best of us. :)

Don't forget to click install so you will receive notificaition of updates (link to the top right of the first post).

You are referring to the marked as installed button ?

That's the one. :)

excellent done!!:up:

Now the next silly question:

Where do i get code for my adds?

If i just have a jpg and the when you click on it, it goes to there website.

And if i latter do banners?

What would these codes look like?

I do appologise i and very new to this all and very eager to learn:D :D .
