Yes. Certainly.

Works great for me. But now I have a question!

I want to have a usergroup called "Advertiser". Users use the VB subscription system to pay a fee and automatically be added to this usergroup. Then, when I add banner images to the list in the Admin control panel Ad Management options, I'd like to be able to associate the entries to the users in the Advertiser usergroup. Thus, at the end of their subscription term, their entry on the list is automatically overlooked and no longer displays.

Example:

When random image selected, check to see if associated user is member of Advertiser usergroup

-- Yes, then display image normally
-- No, then do not display image and repeat random selection

This way, I don't have to be so heavily involved in keeping track of when peoples banners should no longer display or when they should be reactivated if they renew their advertiser status.

Anyone have any ideas?

Tourmeister, vBulletin doesn't do promotions automatically based on subscriptions as far as I'm aware. There's certainly no facility for it with this modification, sorry.

Excellent! At last! Update forthcoming then...

Sure it does ;) When you create a subscription, there is an option to change the user's usergroup in the upper right corner. When people donate, I put them into a Forum Supporter usergroup (as "Additional member" and not as "Primary"). When their donation term expires, they are automatically removed from the Forum Supporter usergroup. I do the same thing for the Advertisers usergroup. So if there is some way to associate a banner entry on the list in the Ad Management control panel with the user, and then check for their usergroup status... it all becomes automated very nicely!

I'm still experiencing problems with the vB Ad Management credit at the bottom of the page. You released a small fix for it before to prevent the problem of it recreating itself more than once (meaning, you'd have like 3 in a row at the bottom there), however, the fix doesn't really prevent it from continuing to multiply. Basically, what I have to do is rewrite the XML file every once in a while when I notice that it starts making copies of itself again. Could you release another fix to prevent the process entirely, or have you already done that and I somehow missed it? Let me know.

Which fix was that?

The first "fix" did not work. A couple of days later, the author released a second fix which did the job.

Scan backwards in this thread or use the version attached below (upload it to \includes\vb_ad_management\global_start.php).

The latest file should probably be added to the downloads post in this thread, to avoid confusion.

Ok, upgraded from 3.04 to 3.13, all ok but this:

I don?t have that code in that template.

vB 3.6.7 PL1

Just place the tag $header_advertisement wherever you want the ad to appear.

like down $_phpinclude_output ?

Sure, if you like. Experiment. Move it around until it's where you want it to be.
