  3. You are fine with the latest version.
I have two banners that I would like to place in rotation. I have placed them in position "0" in the ad_navbar_below section of the website. When I activate both of them they both show up at once rather than rotating them. I tried adding another <!--@vbbanners:0@--> in the style sheet based upon some other posts and that does not seem to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am using 4.02 Patch 1. Thanks.

If you have only 2 banners in your database, of course they will never rotate, if you also show them both on a page :)

In order to make banners rotate, you should have more banners (with the same criteria) in your database than the highest number of banners you ever will show on a single page, unless you accept that in certain moments or pages no rotating is fine.

This product chooses from a number of banners, which fit the rules to show up, shuffles and then picks one for each placeholder. Thus, if there are 2 banners and 2 placeholders, all of them are shown.

Sorry in advance for the follow up question - I am sure I am missing the obvious. I want to have two different banners rotate in the same location and have them each show up 50% of the time - is that not possible? For example each time the page is refreshed the new banner would show up. Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, that is what this mod does by default. Stop messing with it and that's what will happen.

Note that at least one other mod (chatbox) cuts off the 'navbar below' ad location.

Just use 1 placeholder on your pages and the 2 banners in your database will alternate each other with about 50% of the time.

While I am at it, if you have for example 1 unique banner and 2 identical banners in your database, you may move the weight to one side. The unique banner will get 33% and the other two 66%, which looks like, as if one banner appears more often.

Thanks for your help, I am still having the problem. I am going to reinstall the mod and hopefully that will clear up the problem.

Greetings.

It would appear that only users that are primary users of the "Administrators" group have access to this tool. Users that are in the Administrators group, but as an "Additional Usergroups" don't have access. Is this a bug or a feature? :)

Thanks!

Banner not showing on content.php page (main cms page)

Have I dont something wrong on the install or is this feature not available?

dadams982 03-17-2010 03:50 PM
I watched your video and this seem quite easy. Anyone know where to edit a template to put a place holder to place two of them side by side between forum topics on forumhome?

Hope that made sense.

Overbr 03-19-2010 01:56 PM
Hello ! Thanks your help-me ! (sorry my englhish OK)

Look, this, i?m inserting in POSTBIT_LEGACY an the codig.

Quote:

<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1">
<div class="postbit">
<h3 class="posthead">&nbsp; &nbsp;Publicidade</h3>
<div class="postbody"><br />
</div>
<!--@vbbanners:0@-->
<br />
<br />
</div>
</vb:if>
but when done this way he does not show the banners. Please, if you forgot to do some procedure? I'm sorry if already been answered in almost 50 pages.
I read up to 40 and could not do anything that would help me.
I use VB 4.0.2 OK.
Thanks in advance for any help and tip possible. I really need to make this mod work

Wen Clean HTML off is terrible for SEO.

No, that's incorrect. All "Clean HTML" does is remove white space from the code, which makes the code easier to read. Search engine spiders have no problem jumping over spaces and it isn't going to affect indexing or ranking on any search engine.

Theda 03-22-2010 10:13 PM
would this work for just the main logo banner at the top of forums? or is ad-specific?

Cleanup HTML code?
Quote:
Select 'Yes' to remove unnecessary whitespace characters and HTML comments from the source code of your forum pages.
This increases the C2C (Content to Code) ratio and reduces page sizes, resulting in a net performance increase and reduction in bandwidth required.
So you are tell-me increasing C2C is not important to google:confused:

Yes, that's what I'm telling you. The effect of applying that is negligible at best.

I would like to add a place holder into a static HTML Widget box on the "Front Page" but am a newbie.

Could anyone give me a sample line of HTML code to insert the placeholder (@vbanners@) into?

Thanks in advance.

is it possible to add the options to change the wmode parameters in flash banners <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />

If i add an flash banner with rotating banner system the flash will lay over the vbulletin drop down menus etc. See the attached picture. I had to use the built in ad management in vbulletin and add the flash code manually to get it working correctly.

this is the flash code that displays it correctly

Code:
<div>
                        <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="728" height="90" id="myFlashContent">
                                <param name="movie" value="banner.swf" />
                                <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
                                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.mydomain.com/images/ads/banner.swf" width="720" height="240">
                                        <param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
                                </object>
                        </object>
                </div>
Edit: wrong wmode on the attached picture..it should be opaque and not transparent

I'm sorry, I can't fix problems with the embedded flash. My flash wrapper embeds arbitrary flash images in order to allow to change the destination URL and eventually enable click tracking. If this doesn't work for you, you still can use your code inside a rotating banner in the Text field, but also would habe to code the flash accordingly to point or to the click tracker, or to your final URL.

At line 57 in rbs_banner.php, you may comment out the if statement. In this case, the referers are not checked against the forum URL, and clicks should be counted. However, this opens a door to click fraud.

As in the help files ;)

<!--@vbbanners:0-->
<!--@vbbanners:1-->
<!--@vbbanners:2-->
...
<!--@vbbanners:9-->

Can anybody lend a hand? Am I supposed to define two banners 1-2? or just one? And where would I put this to make this work?

</span>
assuming that you have set up banner 0 and banner 1 as the correct dimensions.

I haven't tryied to do this, mind you, partly because I upgraded to 4.02 and this add-on isn't yet upgraded for 4.02, but it's worth a try.
Definitley going to try this dj, do you know where to insert this to show up side by side between forums on the forumhome? Also, can I set more than two banners to rotate if I only use the 2 defined? A good representation of what I am trying to accomplish is on anabolicminds.com on forumhome

Worked! Thanks!

shahryar_neo 03-28-2010 02:27 PM
how can show banners between every X post ? for example set these :

1) show after last and first post of topic.
2) between posts .

I used vB 4 Advertisement management and I shifted to this mod and it's so better but cannot customize well for between posts .

66tiger 03-28-2010 02:42 PM
I have this installed on vB4.0.2 PL4 and I can get it to work in some places but not in others.

It seems to work correctly on the index page, but it doesn't work inside the forums.

For example, I added <!--@vbbanners:2@--> to the ad_global_header2 template, then set up a banner which I set to Position 2, and set it to display in all forums (nothing selected in the list of forums). The URL for the image is valid; I can enter it directly into my browser and it will display.

I can see the banner on the index page, but if I go to any forum it isn't shown. Can anyone help me to understand why it doesn't work as I expect it to?

y2ksw 03-28-2010 03:27 PM
Maybe ad_global_header2 isn't implemented in all templates, such as FORUMDISPLAY. There were or still are a few bugs reported regarding the banners in the header area.

If the "Forum Home" option is checked, it will show only there though.

66tiger 03-28-2010 05:18 PM
D'oh! The Forum Home setting was it. Thanks!

y2ksw 03-28-2010 08:57 PM

If you use vBAdvanced, you may add placeholders to the vbAdvanced templates only. Other CMS which don't use vBulletin as engine, are not supported.

If you explicitly select the forums, vBAdvanced will be excluded. Another solution is to choose templates which aren't propagated to vBAdvanced.

Please don't send me PM's if you also ask here. Also, public questions are likely to be replied more quickly ;)

If this is a general rule and you are happy with changing the code a bit, you may add (hook: global_complete, "Banner Insertion"), on the very top:

Code:
if(THIS_SCRIPT == 'adv_index')
{
and, on the very bottom:
Code:
}
This way, the plugin code will run only when the portal pages are shown. However, it also keeps the placeholders unchanged in other pages, which may have undesireable side effects, if they are not in the HTML comment format. True vBAdvanced support would require more coding.

If some more users are interested in an additional feature for vBAdvanced support, this is the time to ask :)

Bacon Butty 04-01-2010 01:04 PM
Looks great. Is there any chance the placeholder can be placed after the first post in every thread, like;
