This doesn't matter. No ad is ever duplicated on a single page, but missing ads show a blank :)

thanks for the help

Did not know, or at least did not remember. Probably should go back and read the documentation again it's been awhile.


Couple of requests/suggestions.

1) Add an expiration date column to all the Banner Lists in the Admin CP. This way it's easier to keep track of the ads that will be expiring soon without having to page through them all individually.

2) Include global.php for rbs_stats.php. I think the statistics would look a lot better and more professional if they were contained within the framework of the web site.

3) Add an option to show a different timezone (other than GMT) universally on the statistics page.

Added to wish list :)

However, I believe I will leave this product as is for vbulletin 3-4, since it has done an almost perfect job over many years now. For vbulletin 5, I have to reinvent the wheel and most probably I will then offer a 2-step product, which first will be developed and maintained on my servers and then later released (if desired) as a stand-alone package.

The point is, vbulletin 5 does not have the old hook system any more and it is not possible to replace from within a "new" plugin parts of a fully rendered page. Thus it needs a banner system which implements the current functionallity off-line and users will implement banners using a widget.

In other words, this product will go one step back to what it was before (stand-alone) and one step forth in order to accomodate all the features which were constantly missing, such as having "simply" a fully driven advertising system. This will also open for some very new scenarios, such as advertising groups, affiliation codes and shared banners in large networks.

But since these extra features are costly in terms of traffic, I will release the whole thing as soon it is stable enough, unless we can agree to a number of my banners on your boards to cover the expenses. I have seen, it works good enough to keep the current project going, but a dedicated server has evidently a much higher cost. :)

Please don't abandon 4.2.1 mate, I haven't started to use this mod yet, but it is as you say awesome. As a newspaper publisher I am only just starting to get my head around the publishing suite, and most mod builders ONLY think of forums, when the CMS, Calendars< groups and Blogs are the parts of vB I need advancements on.

The add-on works perfectly on 4.2.1.

I won't, but all the extra goodies, which are impossible to add on this system, will have to come elsewhere :)

If it was for me, I would have preferred this system here, because external data is always a hassle, even if you pull it in from your own servers.

Until they put a real CMS in 5 this will be the one for content driven sites, I'd use vB5 as a linked social network maybe atm

I have a tick placed so that the clicks are counted, but nothing is displayed!!

Scripts will not count unless you craft them specifically. Google AdSense is a good example for which you never will get a count.
