Have you tried using the advertising ability of VB4 yet? I use that for all my banners as you can directly control who and where they are displayed. I even go 1 step further uning OpenX as my ad server so I can track click throughs and the amount of times the banner is displayed. Plus manging the banners on a per advertiser is incredibly easier. Between the 2 you should be able to manage your banenrs much much easier.

I want to use vb.sponsers to place images next to/under the title to certain forums as added exposure.

Thanks works with exception of needing a hack for adsense. There is some code missing which can be added to get Google adsense to work.

My main issue is the mod doesn't show on individual threads - even after modifying showthread template and adding the code - it used to in 3.8x

I think im going to use the built in vbulletin ad manager for that as I found two issues:

- link for digitaldeviation in footer as well as google adsense code:

Code:

google_ad_client = "pub-0851814186705981";

google_ad_output = "textlink";

google_ad_format = "ref_text";

google_cpa_choice = "CAAQnfzw4AIaCJwZC9ix5DwoKN2uuIEBMAA";

google_ad_channel = "3505039413";

which is still in the plugin, not sure exactly where if/it shows.

This is not working correctly for me in VB 4.2.0.

IT displays the small banners correctly as I want, but produces an internal500 error when you click it, does not forward to the external web address as it should. (I tried adding the desired site to the whitelist, and also Disabled Redirect Domain Checking, but neither of these things had any effect).

what happens is when you click it tries to find "http://www.mysite.com/vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=forumnumber" instead of the desired site.

Can anyone offer any guidance on this?

Right, Ive got that working now, all working good.

However, im now having difficulty getting the image to align properly to the right where I want it. I have edited my template as per post #43 above to get it to align right.

Is there anyway I can have it move all the way to the right, to where the "subscribe" ticks used to be? and also can I have the text on the left in line with the image on the right, rather than the image pushing the text to the next line down?

you can see what the current state of play is, and also what im trying to achieve here (Ive disabled this on my site until i can come to a resolution close to what I want):

thanks for any help, pulling my hair out trying to think of the answer, i bet its fairly simple as well.

So, downloaded, unpacked, edited forum location. uploaded, imported plugin, see it in the ACP however when i expand vb.sponsors manager all i see is "View Statistics"

When i edit a forum/section i can see the forum sponsor choices when populated, i see nothing.

ok, no replies, i will have to go this alone and have a stab in the dark at it.

can anyone tell me where i will find the 4 files for the styles that require editing as this is what i think im missing. everything else seems to be there.

ScottishScoobie

08-11-2012 02:27 PM

ok found how to find the files, i was searching for the code in the search box not the name of the file.

so i find all 4 files.

FORUMDISPLAY code has been found and your code added
forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost Does not contain the code you say to find
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post Does not contain the code you say to find
forumhome_forumbit_level2_post code has been found and your code added

Still nothing is showing even though enabled, so im guessing its to do with the level1 files.

people must be subscribed to this forum, why does no one help ? im not gobby, im just so frustratingly close but everyone thats asked questions for help and has got it working, wont reply to help.

ScottishScoobie

08-11-2012 06:07 PM

I pasted the code in where i thought it should go and it works but not voting for mod of the month, as there has been zero support on it. still installed though.

I have it that way on my current board and need to keep it that way because all the sponsors are promised that much exposure.

On my current board I thought that all I did was take the vBSponsors code for the big banners and place it in the correct locations for where I wanted the banners to appear. I have tried this on my 4.x test board and no banner appears.

You can see all my banner placements here:
http://www.inspectionnews.net/home_inspection

Has anyone figured out how to do this with 4.x?

Thank you,

Brian

Anyone have an answer to this at all?

As per previous poster, I think I know where to add the code (Showthread) but when added, nothing appears. Looking at the source code, all I can see are the comments:







This must be something relatively simple? An extra bit of code needed somewhere?

I can't remember now but looking back at the files, it looks like I've changed (in FORUMDISPLAY) this:

Code:

<img src="{vb:raw foruminfo.sponsor_banner_big}" border="0" />

to this:

Code:

<div align="center"><img src="{vb:raw foruminfo.sponsor_banner_big}" border="0" /></div>

I also appear to have put div tags around this:

Code:

<div><img src="{vb:raw foruminfo.sponsor_banner}" border="0" /></div>

Hope that helps?

In short this mod doesn't work in showthread, ie. on this page you are reading this from!

You can get it to work though using IF commands.
This was created by my great style guy at http://that1design.com . I recommend him big time.

You just need to edit this to suit your forum & manually update it if you gain or lose a sponsor. Forum numbers are particular to our site so you need to change them.

Forumid == put the forum number here
f=put the same forum number here

I run google ads in every other forum that does not have a local sponsor & is dependent on the usergroup.
Where it says userinfo, 1, 2, 3, 6, 4, 8, 16 : your own user group numbers that you want to have see the advert.

In showthread template
Find:

Code:

{vb:raw header}

{vb:raw navbar}

{vb:raw template_hook.showthread_above_posts}

{vb:raw poll}

Below add:

Code:

<div align="center">

<vb:if condition="$threadinfo[forumid] == 14">

<a target="_blank" title="Link's Title" href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=14">

<img border="0" src="http:// link to large banner.jpg">

</a>

<vb:else />

<vb:if condition="$threadinfo[forumid] == 12">

<a target="_blank" title="Link's Title" href="vB.Sponsors/link.php?f=12">

<img border="0" src="http:// link to large banner.jpg">

</a>

<vb:else />

<vb:if condition="$threadinfo[forumid] == 33">

gibgib and Ral.ly, thank you for keeping up on this issue of placing the ads on the showthread page! :up:

When I get a chance I will give it a try.

My current site also has that ads at the bottom of the showthread page and under the "Submit Post/Reply" button on the post or reply page. You can see an example here

Can I put that same code in those other locations?

Thank you!

Sponsors get a white background in forumhome, so any hint how to get the sponsors banner of same background as forumhome categories?

brihan

03-13-2013 05:23 AM

After upgrading to 4.2.0 the links to the sponsors no longer work (I also run VbSEO if this makes a difference).

When a sponsors banner is clicked is goes to a page that says...
"Invalid Redirect URL (http://www.eiipro.com/quotes/home-in...s-application/)

However the URL is correct.

Gibgib, I see you have it working on your site with 4.2.0. Will you share how you got that to work?

Thank you!

Brian

Hi Brian,

You need to add the full URL of the address (advertising link you are pointing to) into the "Redirect Domain Whitelist" in the "Site Name / URL / Contact Details" in the General Settings of your board.
