Ive checked using a guest if I could see my link in the profile field still doesnt show up I have percentages set to 50% 50%. What am I doing wrong I have this in my static ad code for posts

<a href="#shared#">Sponsored Link</a>

and everything set up in ad share. But I cant seem to ever be able to see the profile field link only the default one.

I think, you're missing what I'm trying to do.

I want to have one rotating banner 728x90 to work in my header,
And I want two rotating banners 468x60 to display under the 728x90.

But both sizes I want to be rotating. So I want to be able to add both sizes to the rotations part of the header in the AdminCP. But I only want the big sized banners to show up in the very top banner, and the smaller banners to show up in the two positions directly under it.

728x90 Banners
468x60 Banners 468x60Banners

Like this. But I want all three to be rotating. I just don't want to end up having 468x60 banners to show up in the 728x90 spot and visa versa.

I'm I making this all way to complicated? or is something like this still possible?

Installed this today. It works perfect so far. Thank You!

Will donate as soon as the forum goes live & the adsense starts dancing.

Just installed v3.03 on my latest Assassin's Creed Forum and everything is working flawlessly. Thanks again, RedTyger! ;)

i just installed this and absolutely nothing happend except your copyright at my footer.

whats wrong?

Have you added any banners in the AdminCP?
You can add some there and they will show up. Its a great and easy to use Mod.

You probably have not set Usergroup permissions properly. Or if you are using javascript Adcode try just plain text for testing in case there's a problem with your code.

Hi RedTyger,

Could you please reply to my previous request on the banners? If its not possible, I'll have to get some banner rotation stuff made, and I'd rather use what you have made so far cuz it works really well.

I didn't understand what you said, but I'll take another shot at it.

You want one large banner in the header that rotates.

You want two small banners side by side in the footer that independently rotate.

If this is correct then it is possible but the small banners will only show in pairs. You can't have them both randomly rotating independently.

Your header adcode:
<img src="large1" />|
<img src="large2" />|
<img src="large3" />

Your footer adcode:
<img src="small1.1" /> <img src="small1.2" />|
<img src="small2.1" /> <img src="small2.2" />|
<img src="small3.1" /> <img src="small3.2" />

So the footer will only be able to show .1 banners together, .2 banners together etc. But it will randomly rotate between 1. banners 2. banners etc.

pretty close. I think i get what you're saying.

I want all the banners in the header, either way it will be the same. I can't rotate them independently. Which is what i'm after.

Thanks for all the help anyway RedTyger.

Installed this and it went smoothly.

I cannot get anything to display though no matter what settings I choose.

I am new to vB.

Suggestions please.

Dave.

As mentioned in a couple of posts earlier, you need to make sure you have all your usergroup permissions set correctly. Otherwise nothing will display.

Try that, you'll find that will work very well.

I am new to vB.

Where should I be looking? So i can edit the permissions.

Once there what should i edit, what box etc.

Thanks
Sorry for being a damb ass.

I have tried it in 3.6.5

and i've add some ads in ADs CP

but it didn't show in the forum ?

www.surcity.net/forums/index.php

it did only show one thing in the footer

vB Ad Management by =RedTyger=

Same problem, think im going to uninstall.

Silly question i know, but you said you was new to vbulletin, did you do the template edits ? You have to manually do these.

I've tested this on my local test copy and it works very well indeed.

Im using the standard template and the download only came with one file and was all automated.

Where is the information on what files to manually edit?

Its all well and good telling us we are doing it wrong but by please tell us how to do it right.

I have it working in the archive but not the main forums.

Sorry i assumed you read the instructions situated at the top of this page.

Instructions

• Upload the product using the Product Manager.
• Go to Style Manager > Edit Templates and...
• Find <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu --> and paste $postbit_advertisement above it in your postbit & postbit_legacy templates.
• Paste $forumbit_advertisement at the bottom of your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates.
• Paste $threadbit_advertisement at the bottom of your threadbit template.
• Paste $footer_advertisement at the top of your footer template.
• Find $spacer_close in your footer template and below it paste $rightcolumn_advertisement.
• Find &nbsp; in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
• Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

For future reference, each hack will have a set of instructions to follow, it isn't just as simple as adding the product xml i'm afraid. These will often be in the archive you download, but can also be in the body of the hack post (like above),

Hope that helps.

Thank you very much.

I have installed it on my forum. The space for adds only shows up in the threads and then the add does not show up just the box for it. It is not in my usergroup permissions page. What could be the issue?

What adcode are you using? It's common for Google ads and things like that to display nothing sometimes.

Yea thats it google adcode. anyway around that. I cannot get it to display at all in the main forum index. Is that the way it is supposed to be?

When you set up adsense you can choose for it to display nothing or a public service announcement when it has nothing to display...so you might want to change that? Which section is it not working for on the main forum index. Header and footer ads should work everywhere no problem.

It doesnt show up any where on the main forum index. I still do not uderstand what you are saying about the google adds

Yes, what doesn't show up on the main index? Header ads? Forumbit ads?

Google sometimes give you the option to display something else when it has no adverts to display. That's an option when setting up the ads with Google themselves, it's not something I can do.

Well, now lets see if I can come with more $$ for my forum :).
Big Thanks :)

Will a version come out to be able to have ads display within specific post you choose or create?

Good luck! I didn't even use my own modification...until today! So I'll be seeing if I can do the same. :)

Can you explain further? You mean have ads display with specifc post IDs? That will not be an option, it's far too specific.

Will this have file edits if that were possible? or just to complicated to add this and to upgrade it.

This member was inquiring on this is was able to achive.

It's not difficult, just not necessary enough people to make it worthwhile. You can do it by editing the plugin.

I have spent the better part of the last 24 hours trying to get this mod to work.

I have it where it will rotate banners and ads, so long as they are added in the admin area, but it will not add users shared content.

I have even used the illustrated codes in the second post, and those work well but they will not add the information in the users fields.

I have the field setup properly in the configuration, and have my admin default code as http://www.test.com for testing,

this shows fine along with redtygers link when rotating. I also have another computer I use for testing, with a regular forum ID (not admin) yet when I place http://www.usertest.com in the edit profile for that user, the usertest.com never appears in the rotations.

The mod is a fantastic mod, but I do not completely understand how members can share ads, because this function is not working for me. I am using VB 3.6.3 and
vb_ad_management_303

I wanted to say that I got it working.

What was the problem? Click install please, don't miss updates.

Where do I click install? I'm sorry, I don't use mods often and am not very familiar with using them.

The problem was my own error, I was unaware that you would not see your own ads and I was also unaware that if a user had not made any posts then their ads wouldn't show anyways.

I was testing with a user account that I use for testing purposes only, no posts with that ID, so naturally the shared banners did not appear.

I re-read post 2 several times before it clicked what was wrong, then I had one of my moderators post a link with her ID and it worked just as it is supposed to.

I now have it running fine on my forum, and it's already generated 6 sign-ups to a beauty course I just launched this past monday and forum members are loving it. So it's already producing very positive results not only for me, but for forum members as well who want to advertise affiliate links but couldn't because they are not allowed. They are all very excited to finally have a feature they can use their affiliate links with.

Expect a donation within the next month, after I give it a good run.

So there was no problem with the mod, it was a problem with me not getting much sleep and not paying attention to what I was supposed to be doing and due to me not being very familiar with how the mod works.

I just read the thread here from start to last, saw people say it could do what I needed it to do and has features that I like, and so I just installed it. I don't know what the heck I am doing lol.

I do apologize for the trouble, the mod works fine (wonderful in fact) with no flaws other than my own user errors.

I'll go do a search here for that install now, and see if I can now figure that out.

Thank you for the wonderful mod!

Firstly thank you for this MOD, I can tell that you put a lot of hours in it!

My query is about interaction with the Links and Download Manager

Sadly the Ads dont apear within the Links & Downloads listings. See here to see what I mean.

Is there anyway I can display adverts within the DL listings?

Thanks

VJ

Hm. I see an advertisement at the bottom of the page just like any of your other forum sections. What exactly do you want to be different with the downloads?

An advert inbetween every X item in the DownLoad list would be cool :)

Prominent Ads within ibProArcade would be good as well ;) (Here is mine)

Thanks

VinylJunky

You could use header advertisements for this, since they can be placed anywhere on a page, but beyond that I don't know. If you ask the author of the mod, telling him you want to place a single variable with rows then maybe he can tell you where to put them. Then when you know, just insert $header_advertisement in the right place and set it up in the normal way using the vB Ad Management settings.

Thanks for the advice :)
