Should I just overwrite everything, or uninstall first?
|
There's no need to uninstall, you will keep all your settings if you just overwrite although I have a feeling usergroup settings are lost from that version so make a note of them.
|
FYI - the version number at the top of the post is different than the downloaded version.
3.12 v. 3.13 just something minor. Thanks for the update btw! |
So it is :) fixed!
|
just want to make sure im doing this right... my forum is in a folder called forums... so i will upload this to forums/includes/vb_ad_management right?
|
You will upload the includes folder. Basically, you will be overwriting the old files. Go into your FTP and find the includes folder and upload the contents of the Includes folder from your desktop.
Then go into your plugins manager and upload the XML, being sure to select yes to allow overwrite. |
One last Question.
In the post bit, can I show both ads, after the first post, and after the last post, at the same time? |

IM having an issue with the block not displaying correctly if I use left and right blocks. IT seems to throw off the main forum page. but looks ok in a topic
Any ideas what could be causing this? It also does it with the default theme as well. |

I would explain the whole process, but that is really complicated. You have to learn to love OpenAds.... |
Installed this mod on VB 3.6.5. But no ads appearing.
Made all changes as per instructions. I am not sure if I need to make changes given under "How to add your own custom adcode blocks in 3 minutes" I have installed VB advanced also. Appreciate if some can help me to debug. Thanks |
hello, i'm having trouble integrating it with vbadvanced, www.EntrepreneurForum.co.uk - i want it unde the left side, under the search forums. I've searched this thread and couldn't find anything other than making it $global[header_advertisement] which didn't work it just messed up the forum. Do you know how to get it under the search forms part, the best i've done is get it to run along side the site navigation.
also Find in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement. i can't find so wasn't able to insert $header_advertisement. |
From the size of this thread, I suppose this is the most popular Ad Management mod for vB or are there any other comparable alternatives?
This one seems to have most of everything I'm looking for. However, I'm also looking for some type of mod that complements this where people interested in purchasing advertising on the forum can go to a page where all available advertising sections are described with pricing and they can submit payment via e-Gold or other methods and then a notification is automatically sent to the Admin. |

I thought when you installed the mod, it automatically enables plugins.
Anyone know if this mod will only work with 3.6.5 or will it also work on previous versions as well? |
This is partial code from my header template indicating where $ad is placed. I have no ad showing. Tested ads in other parts of forum and everything works ok. Just a problem with the header. Tried selecting Yes for Header, tried for Footer, tried for static and tried for random. Zip.
Code: blah, blah, blah. <td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td> <td align="$stylevar[right]"> $header_advertisement; </td> blah, blah, and more blah. Is "$header_advertisement;" in wrong place? Thanks in advance. PS: Just one little ad button on right, as I'm still experimenting with Openads coding and look of site with advertising. |
Well I tried installing this mod on my forum and when the mod is activated, the forum just displays a blank white page. Anyone else run into this problem and know how to fix it? I'm running 3.6.5.
Thanks for your help. |
*click install
nice addon thx redtyger! |
Where exactly do I "Click Install" ? I did all the following:
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 in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement. * Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement. There is nothing about "Installing" anything. I just uploaded the vb_ad_management_313.xml file through the product manager and the mod shows up in the admin panel but when I go back to the forum, it's just shows a blank page. If I disable the mod in vB Ad Management Global Settings, the forum goes back to normal. It might be something stupidly simple but I am a bit new to the vB Mods. Any help appreciated. Thanks. |

Hi milsirhc,
i got the problem that you face too. whereby if guest were browsing the thread, the ads will keep showing admin/site owner's ad code. it doesnt rotate with the thread starters code. however if you login, the ad will be rotated properly. so just wondering how you manage to solve it? and RedTyger, thank you for the excellent mod. appreciate all your effort :) regards, Vince |

hi RedTyger,
I installed the mod today which i downloaded about maybe 12 hours ago. so it should be the latest copy. milsirhc told me to remove the id from "Enable Ad Sharing for Usergroups:" and in actual fact i removed everything from that field since the very beginning. but i still get the same issue. as for vbseo, i just installed it an hour ago :D and the problem still persist. and my vb is pretty clean. your mod was the first that i installed. any idea? :D |

http://www.4newbiesforum.com/ Any other suggestion to try? |
I have swf and gif files, how can I add them to the ad rotation? How do I add links to them?
|
I guess I did something very wrong, but I swear I followed the installation instructions very carefully.
When I turn on the ad management, my site cannot be accesed, could it be something related to vbadvanced? |

Removed the semi-colon after $header_advertisement in my header code. Copied code from the right-side ad that is working and pasted it into static content section of your header management. It worked fine. So the problem wasn't in your product but the coding I'm using from openads invocation.:eek: Thanks. |

I used the remote invocation code generated by openads but removed all references to zones in the invocation code. I used both WordPad and Notepad for changing the code, not MSWord, and they both worked fine.
Removed: document.write ("&what=zone:4"); from around the middle of invocation code. Also removed: what=zone:4 from last line of invocation code. Your zone numbers will be different than mine. I copied and pasted changed invocation code into the rotating ad section of the header/footer part of vB Ad Management. I separated the code so that a regular banner and a leaderboard would rotate. I also used <center> and </center> at top and bottom of invocation code on the banners. I might change this to left later instead of center. You can see them working here. Thanks RedTyger. You sure made my life much easier. Two thumbs and two big toes up. |

Suggestion: feature geographically limit showing the ads, for example, only show to US, there is no reason to show ads to someone in Canada if they cant do it...
|
An excellent hack. Is there anyway I can edit the footer advertisement from "vB Ad Management by =RedTyger=" to just "Ad Management by =RedTyger="?
Many thanks. |
What is up with the footer? Sometimes it is one link, sometimes 2. But right now, it is displaying it 6 times!

I apologize if this has already been asked, I did search the thread before asking but couldn't find it...
2 things actually... First, what is this used for exactly? "To name a custom adcode block"...etc... I don't get it. Second, This looks like an all or nothing type of modification. For example... Say I have a forum for sporting goods with forums setup such as: baseball football basketball and I want to have google ads for baseball target the baseball forum, football to the football forum, etc... This mod appears that baseball adsense ads would also appear in the football and basketball forums. I'd like to be able to target certain adsense channels to their cooresponding sports so I don't have baseball ad's showing up in the basketball forums. Hope I explained that the right way. Thanks for the hard work. I will surely donate once I get the mod working the way I like. THanks again |
