The best way is to ask the Author, just private message him, you can have it installed for you and have the ads pretty much appear where you like!, thats what i did and got exactly what i want!

I think you all misunderstood my question--

Ofcourse I know you can add multiple banners etc.. I am talking about having multiple banner spaces in a single template.. Like say I want 2 different spaces rotating in a single template?

Can that be done and how???

Thanks

yes you can here is a example ;

Really nice Mod.

BUT

I need to control different banners in different forum ID's. I dont think i can do that... can I ?

Please help..

you can add a condition

+1

Sample? :confused:

how do i get the refresh option to work?? i cant find a option for it. actually, i dont even understand how its suppose to work. any1 have a demo?

Autorefresh is in each of the 3 Ad setups in vbulletin options, you have to have more than 1 ad code in the place you are going to use autorefresh, normallly when leaving a page and coming back to it (and you have multiple ad codes) the ad will "refresh" and rotate to the next, autorefresh does this rotation without having to refresh the page, don't forget to set the time between ads!

i can not find anything that mentions refresh in the ad options...

can you show me a screen shot and where i go to enable the option

Sure, it appears in each of the 4 not 3 ad system options in vbulletin options.

I guess I will have to install it first to understand what you are showing me. I believe you are saying I will have to use this for each banner so if I have 5 banners on each side of a template I will have to source banner1a, banner2a etc or am I mistaken? Would banner1a be for all the banners in rotation in that spot?

Sorry if I am so confusing here. I can fairly easily just use php to get banners rotating but I am looking for a modification that will allow my clients to easily use the control panel to add there banners..

Honestly I would never suggest having more than one banner slow in any one template and especially in the header template but I cannot make these choices for people. With that said, I need a banner script that can easily allow me to place multiple banners spaces in a single template wikthout having to code in each new banner...

Thanks alot..

Webdevoman..

Would this allow me to put ads in my first post? if not how do i do it?

i do not see anything that says "refresh" on any of my settings pages...no clue.

Do you have 4 Ad system esttings in VBulletin options?

i have 5

Advertisement System (Settings & Slideshow)
Advertisement System ( Navbar left & right columns )
Advertisement System (Forumbit Threadbit & Full page)
Advertisement System (Header & Footer)
Advertisement System (Posts, PMs & Announcements)

running 2.5 version with therrefresh plugin installed

Ooops yes there are 5!, each of those has the radio button for autorefresh in them, well at least on ver 3.7.3 they do!. perhaps you should PM Karim004, he does give great support and can do a pro install for you.

ight i sent him a pm

hi, got to say great add-on but theres one thing thats stopping me from enabling it.

When i add my advertisement codes for the header, it shows all right, but behind the banner is a white square and i was just wondering how i could make the width of it smaller to fit the size of my banners, or even still change it to black as i have a black forum.

thanks

10/15/2008 version 2.6

** ability to tun on /off the autorefresh : check the screen below
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/10/29.jpg

Yes : will enable the autorefresh
No : will enable a simple rotation
** fixed 2 bugs in [left & right column ]

To upgrade just re-import the file or do a fresh install?

doesnt the auto refresh work with pm's and post?

at least u r Ok...

Thanks a lot for the update :)
but as i see there is no 2 kind of mod like before ?
it is only one !
=========
edit:
i think i understand why it is one mod because now you add this option:
** ability to tun on /off the autorefresh
right ?

cant we exclude forums??

how about adding a hit counter on this? also ur title doesnt match the accual version number, says 2.5 but ur at 2.6

better idea, make an addon for this with google Analytics

iys a free service and gives u all kinds of details on ur ads, visitors and so on

I'm using 3.6.8 and nothing is appearing at all.
Any ideas?

Hi. i am new to VB . i was on phpBB since last 2 years.
i dont know how to edit tamplets here ?? for example:

where i go to edit Header ? i can't find any file of header in enlighten Skin that i use by default for my forum.
and in adminCp there is a file Header in enlighten_x .
but i can't find there the code to replace like:

please help !!!

Templates>Ad_locations or simply Templates>Header

Thank you so much for your reply.
Still didnt find the code:

there is no code like this in HEADER. i tried small parts and some words of this code. but didnt got anything.
even i tried Vbulliten default skin and other all tamplates.

That code is placed in Templates>Header very near the top between <!-- logo --> and <!-- /logo -->

What about the left side?

What about it?, what is it you are having trouble with?

We were running this pluginn just nice, but are experincing some problems sincethis afternoon.
Enable advertisements system in your forum - Yes
Enable slideshow - Yes
Ads enabled in header in main- Yes
Ads enabled in header in archives - Yes

But the ads are no showing..
help please..

Do you actually have slideshow code in?, you have to use this format for the slideshow:
slideshowcontent[0]=["banner1_link", "website1_link", "_new"]
slideshowcontent[1]=["banner2_link", "website2_link", "new"]
slideshowcontent[2]=["banner3_link", "website3_link", "new"]

Does this product alter any of the colors within the forum's styles, such as table border colors? Just wondering.

[Update: Please disregard]

When I placed in a lefthand verticle banner ad, the ad appeared just fine, but it squished the forum content and added a series of empty columns on the righthand side. I would estimate that the width ratio of forum content in the middle to empty columns on the right was even.

We are running a Transparencity variation, and have not had the left-right margins used before for anything, if that helps.

Another issue, which might have been addressed already, if so I apologize for not reading through all 500 posts: When I enable the refresh option for the header banner because otherwise it seems to be pretty static even between page changes), it moves the banner from center to the right, and there's just a blank banner appearing.

I've gone through the templates and added my forumlink before all the calls to the new PHP pages, but to no avail.

Any pointers appreciated.

Curious what the difference is between an autorefresh and a simple rotation. Using 2.6, if I say 'No' to autorotation, the image banner is static between page requests. (It's a Google adSense banner). Shouldn't it be altered on occasion? People would get tired of seeing the same ad, I suppose.

Thanks!

Is there a primer for ad placement somewhere I can read? I am new to placing ads, and have to wonder how they really work. I assumed that the ad provider is able to get different ads to my forum. Using this mod and Google's adSense, the banner ad never changes. Do each banner ads from Google contain one advertiser all the time? Do I need to get a series of same-size ads from Google and string them into the script box which this mod provides and then enable the auto-refresh? How exactly is it all supposed to work?

Slideshow options:

Is it supposed to be "_new" or "new"?

I see #0 is "_new" and #1 + are "new" in your example in Admin.

Also, what other options can be there?


How about an option to change delay per banner (or use default)?

i.e.
slideshowcontent[0]=["banner_image","banner_link","_new", 10000]
slideshowcontent[1]=["banner_image","banner_link","new", 0]
slideshowcontent[2]=["banner_image","banner_link","_new", 30000]
slideshowcontent[3]=["banner_image","banner_link","new", 5000]
slideshowcontent[4]=["banner_image","banner_link","_new", 0]
slideshowcontent[5]=["banner_image","banner_link","new", 0]

0 = default delay setting
