I have done something simular on my site except I have an issue where if the banners are side by side and you shrink your browser it throws the banners off allighment. Any way to wrap the banners so they can adjust depending on your browser window? The issue now is that they are fixed and assume the browser window is at least a minimum size but when you shring the window or view the site from a smart know the banners are all off

These are all HTML issues, where I am, honestly spoken, unable to help.

With vBulletin 3 you will have to handle problems with tables and most of them can't be fixed, because tables have a rather static design. On the other hand, with vbulletin 4 and div's, the situation isn't much better, because then all elements tend to flee from the developer :)

HTML hates me :p

Thanks for the replies

Its working as i want thanks

...found the answer...

My developer helped us install this mod to work with a custom theme they developed, and we found many of the adlocations do not show the ads. They said this is bug issue with vbulletin or your mod. Is he correct?

ad_thread_last_post_content = not working
ad_thread_first_post_content = not working
ad_showthread_firstpost_start = working
ad_showthread_firstpost_sig = working

Thank you!

Oh, how I love developers, really! :)

Do some of the ad locations work? What are the setting differences?

Did you actually insert a banner placeholder inside the inbuilt ad locations? Else there will appear nothing.

Are there enough banners in the database to show multiple banners on the same page? If you have 5 locations on page, you also must have at least 5 banners to show.

Until now, we always managed to run the banners on any system and any circumstances, and most of the times it was just a misunderstanding or spelling error, or a wrong time setting. Besides not reading the manual about vbSEO, of course :p ... even on Photopost (which is an addon), some people have managed to show their banners with the unofficial addon (at post 989 of this thread).

So, please prove me wrong :rolleyes:

We created one simple text ad, and tried it one by one on all the ad locations. And the list above shows which ones working, which ones not working.

The developer even said this:

"Regarding those ad location template that is not working, we tested it on default vb and it doesn't work and it is not related to our theme. You can test it in default vBulletin style to check."

Does this mod require modification to the custom theme to add something to the theme template?

Thanks,

Not if you use the inbuilt ad_* locations. But if you want to fill banners in more specific places, you will have to edit the respective templates.

I got the first ad (<!--@vbbanners:0@--> ) to show up - how do I add the rest of the banners to the code? I am lost!

You would add more <!--@vbbanners:0@--> into your page until you show all the banners you wish to see in a single page. And, you would add N banners into the database, each of the different banners you would show in rotation.
