vb.org Archive - Miscellaneous Hacks - Rotating Banner System

Hi VBLUIS,

If you want to display a side banner throughout all pages, you can either modify the templates on your own or use a mod for this purpose. For instance:

Everywhere Sidebar 4 VB4
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233871

Then, you can insert the RBS code in there for the side banner to be displayed. :)

:up:

You may also insert the banner placeholder into a HTML static block and use just the standard forum sidebar.

I usually have also a custom template in order to remove the block title and other adjustments, such as:

Template: block_html_ads

Code:

<li>

    <div class="block smaller">

        <div class="widget_content blockbody floatcontainer">

        <div id="block_html_{vb:raw blockinfo.blockid}" class="blockrow">

            {vb:raw content}

        </div>

        </div>

    </div>

    <div class="underblock"></div>

</li>

Does this work forum-wide? Because as far as I know, the standard sidebar is not displayed when you are checking a thread, etc.

Thank you y2ksw.
I have a question related to one that did in the past, I hope you can help me.

My forum just get by "google Analitycs" 600 visitors per day. Is that "Google Analytics" has access to many pages of the forums.

And according to statistics from vbulletin receive about 150 visitors per day recorded.

I have sold a banner. This banner appears on all pages and for everyone

But in one day telling me 33,000 impressions. There may be something that interferes with the Rotating Banner System? I have doubts that have been loaded 33,000 times the pages that have that banner (that is all, is global).

There any checks I can do?

That number of visitors / impressions can reach you receive?

thanks

PS: sorry for my English if at some point may sound bad. The schools are very bad Spanish with other languages.

The everywhere sidebar shows almost everywhere. However if you have the CMS, you also will have to create a most similar widget.

600 GA visitors likely will visit more than just one page. 150 vB visitors are logged users in a day. 33k impressions is a pretty high number, but considered that GA fails to collect all visitors and that 600 visitors may look into 50-60 pages each, it is a fairly possible value.

If you have server side statistics, such as Webalizer, the real page count may be much closer to the impression count. However, Webalizer counts only unique entries, thus the single page count is at Pages + (Hits - Files).

Ah, you mean the Everywhere Sidebar mod I quoted myself earlier. Yes, I know it allows for the sidebar to be displayed "everywhere", as the name of the mod implies. :)

When you mentioned the "standard forum sidebar" I thought you meant the standard sidebar feature offered by default by vBulletin, which as far as I know, it is displayed at the main forum page only.

Hi. Did anybody solve the problem of the flash banners which opens in a new tab?

I was thinking that, perhaps, if we disable the link option of the banners won't do it. Anybody knows how i can i do it?

All problems which are not fixed by the wrapper, are generally beginner errors. Personally, I send the banners back until they are fixed, and there was never ever one publisher who failed to make it right, sooner or later ;)
