thanks

i updated to vb 4.0.6 but the ads in the blog sidebar just disappeared.

Anybody else having this issue?

Been searching forever but cant find any changes in the template?

thx

I have had this happen with vBulletin upgrades. Here's the solution that worked for me:

Go into your Admin CP | Rotating Banners | Manage Banners and click on each ad (or at least each one that is not displaying) to display the code and settings. Then just scroll or page down and click Save (you do not actually have to edit or change anything - just resave). This reactivates that banner.

Did that, but didnt do anything. It looks like it does not recognize the placeholder anymore.

See?

Is the "placeholder" code still there in your templates?

If you're using other than the default vBulletin style, you might try this:

1. Admin CP | Maintenance | Update Counters
2. scroll down to Rebuild Styles
3. click on the Rebuild Styles button

The add-on does work in all versions of vBulletin 4.x up to and including 4.06.

Placeholders are still there. Do this rebuild styles change all my custom templates? Because i have made a lot of changes lately and dont want it to be all gone now.

No, it doesn't change any of your templates. It just updates the styles information.

it just doesnt want to work for the blog sidebar anymore.

I put the <!--@vbbanners:3@--> into the ad_blog_sidebar_start temp but since i updated it just doesnt show anything anymore.

It kind of works for the leaderboard but i believe google doesnt like rotation of their ads. All i get is this non profit banners or the custom google search.

For some reason the banners wont rotate until a page is refreshed ?

Any ideas ??

Is it possible to nofollow the banners if they're just straight url+image?

I beleive that is by design. Otherwise you would just be serving ads with nobody to see them.

i tested some more. It works everywhere except for the ad_blog_sidebar (start/middle/end)

Will this be updated any time soon?

am i the only one with this issue?

No, You not alone.
I tried everything possible in best case it worked for a day on 4.0.5. Seance no support from irresponsible developer i am upgrading to 4.0.6 and giving up on this script. It is plenty of alternatives.

Which system are you using that can also handle adsense?

http://www.ijoomla.com/ijoomla-ad-ag...-agency/index/ - paid script

http://www.openx.org/ - Free, very advanced and complex. But will reward you soon as you master it

This is strange. All my ads disappeared tonight. I haven't made any changes since updating to 405, and I swear they were working after that.

Anyway, I just went into AdminCP>Manage Ads and enabled an old ad for test purposes. Not only did that ad show up, RBS started working again. Odd.

Has anyone got a solution to get this working with Photopost please?

Yes I did notice the rotating banners part. This is the mod I was referencing.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=203948

Yes, it was for 3.8, but it shows how simple it was compared to this one. Does this one need to be so complicated because it is on 4.0.x? I don't know, i'm not a VB guru.

I'm still trying to find a system that lets you insert a banner in the header. Of all the banner locations, this is the most effective yet the developers of any system I have came across for vb4 seem to have overlooked it which seems bizarre to me, deliberate?

The coder of that mod aint been around since 2009, I wonder if there's anyone that could pick up his mod and run with it to make it compatible with v4.

This one is the direct replacement for that one. What you see as "complications" are actually features that have been requested by people since this one came online. The more features, the more options. But you don't have to use them. I just rotate 6-7 banners in a single ad.

That's pretty much all I want to do. Looks like I'll be giving this one a second chance afterall. :rolleyes:

What about the banner in header? I see this as probably the most important and effective area for having an ad but from what I have read a lot of people are having major issues making it work. Has anyone actually achieved this?

If you're asking my opinion I would disagree strongly. In-your-face ads like in the header or sidebar just get blocked. Instead of being seen more, they're seen less.

I put mine in the footer and after the first post. Hopefully out of the way enough that people won't bother to block them.

I suppose it depends what kind of site you're operating.

Excellent, thanks a lot! Installed and nominated

Ciao innanzitutto grazie per il tuo splendido lavoro, ma non riesco in nessun modo a far funzionare il tuo plugin...

1. Ho caricato i file sul server
2. Ho installato il plugin
3. Ho creato un nuovo banner in Position 0
4. Ho incollato il codice in ad_navbar_below (<!--@vbbanners:0@-->)

Ma il banner non viene mostrato. Come mai?

Anyone using 4.0.6 get this working again? I have a new install that just won't show my .jpg banner.

yes, i just updated to 4.0.6 and it's not working at all. :(

It's working fine in 4.06.

Try this:

1. Go to your banners. Edit one of them - you don't actually need to change anything - just open in the editor and re-save. If that works, the others should also be working now. If not, repeat for each of your banners.

2. If that doesn't work, go to Admin CP | Maintenance | Update Counters >> Rebuild Styles and click on the Rebuild Styles button.

Two ad positions disappeared from vbulletin after 4.03. See this link for a better explanation.
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...ns-Disappeared

Nothing to do with this mod and I'm stuck on version 4.03 until they fix this bug. :mad:

Agree. I do the same.

Can anyone tell me how to display an image/graphic/advert after the first post of every thread.

This Rotating Banner System mod is overkill for what I needed. I did solve the issue by editing 'ad_showthread_firstpost' - however, since upgrading from 4.0.3 to 4.0.6, this doesn't appear to display any more.

Cheers but both dont work on 4.0.6.

I don't know why. They both work for me with 4.06.

Well, I added my vote to http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-7586 . Please everyone do the same?

Thanks. And yes, please do. They originally marked this for fixing in 4.06. Well, obviously it wasn't fixed in 4.06 and they've downgraded it to Minor and Unassigned. If we're going to get someone to do something abiut it, we obviously have to make more noise. :mad:

Well... I re-read the instructions. I'm using vbSEO so I did have 1 minor thing set up incorrectly. After fixing this, I'm now able to see the ads but only on the Forum pages. I cannot see ads on any other pages through-out my site nor does it work within the header.

It's very possible that I simply have a limited understanding of how this works and that the ads are not showing because I'm not doing something right. It looks pretty self explainitory but who knows.

If I want an ad within my header, (ad_global_header1), I just add the following to the template:

<div align="center">@vbbanners:0@</div>

The ads do show up under the navbar with no problem using this code.

Voted too. I didnt realise this problem had been put to one side by the developers.

I have advertisers in both these vanished slots and an upgrade to 4.06 would have caused me all kind of problems. In all honesty I wish I'd stayed where I was on version 3 because I feel like a beta tester.

Odd.

The file edit isn't there on the postbit for me - did you revert your postbit template when you upgraded?

Also, ad_showthread_firstpost was discarded in 4.0.6?

I;m not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying the placeholder for the ad isn't there? If so, put it back in.

Yes, I always do a side-by-side comparison, then revert, then add in the customization for every template that is flagged as needing to be reverted.

No. It disappeared in 4.04 and we're still waiting for them to put it back.

Thats what confused me mate, they can't both work for you because in 4.0.6 ad_showthread_firstpost is missing?

Thanks for trying to help though
