No I don't

No I don't have vbSEO installed nor did I delete the default banners. I am trying to show the default banners only as of now but no luck.

Still it does not work with vB3.8

It has worked for me from 3.x right through to 4.1.5 so if it's not working for you you're doing something wrong.

Trying once again on fresh vb3.8 on my localhost to see if it works.

I haven't had yet one single case where it didn't work or where I wasn't able to get it run in some way.

Thus I'm sure I can prove you wrong :)

If you have a site online, please send me the credentials for an admin account with maintenance, settings and styles rights via PM.

I would have loved to but as of now I have settled with vbsponsor plugin and though I have the plugin installed it is de-activated. If I plan to re-activate it once again I will PM You. Thanks for offering such great help.

i can run scripts fine im having an issue using locally stored images how can i do that?

NVM i figured it out my start date was for tomorrow ..... lol

There are no instructions with this other than a big PDF file explaining what it is.

I have uploaded the files in upload, imported the xml into admincp and the ad system is there. I even uploaded the addons folder to the forum root and the content of the addons folder to the forum root since there were no instructions saying what to do with that folder.

So I now have this banner system in there and I can see there are two default ones, but they do not display on the forum at all. Do I need to edit my templates to get them to show?

Ok So I had to disable the cleanup of HTML on VBSEO for it to work, which is a shame.

So what I am trying to get my head around is these positions.

I have 1 advert there and on the advert page it asks me to choose a position. In my template I have <!--@vbbanners:0@--> global under the nav bar and I also have <!--@vbbanners:0@--> in the rotating banner settings page.

But if I change the banner to position 6, the banner still appears, how does all that work?

Also in the options, do I need to edit the Nth placeholder to add more positions or do I just leave it as <!--@vbbanners:0@-->? If I want more positions to be used, do I just fill the box like this <!--@vbbanners:0@-->, <!--@vbbanners:1@-->, <!--@vbbanners:2@--> etc.?

I want to use several positions.

1 global under nav
1 under thread list
1 after 15 posts
1 after each post
1 after the forum lists but above the footer, who's online etc. I realise I may need to do some manual edits to achieve this.

Just trying to get my head around the placeholder thing. Thanks

You can use vbSEO HTML cleaning, but then you have to change the placeholder to something different than a HTML comment. As told in the large PDF file :)

You normally would use the same placeholder over and over again in most of your templates. The formula inside will fill each same placeholder with a different banner as long as you have some in the database. You very rarely would use another "location" than 0. Thus, you would use

<!--@vbbanners:0@-->

one or more times in a page, and each time another banner appears, unless you have less available.

Of course, the placeholder looks the way as defined in the options ;)
