Could it be that you had adblock on your browser?

I have one on my firefox, and it doesn't show any of the ads, but the product is working fine.

I thought adblockers only worked on popups and popunders. I'm trying to get ads to show up in my forum's margins. I also tried the feature that subsitutes strings with links in signatures, and that didn't work either. There seems to be something just completely blocking this from working in any way.

BUG:

In Hook private_insertpm_process there must be a Error at creating new Users via AdminCP.

Fatal error: Call to a member function do_affiliates() on a non-object in /XXXXXX/www.politikstube.de/forum/includes/class_dm_user.php(2943) : eval()'d code on line 14

The User is still created but this Database Error appears everytime at creating a new User.

vBulletin 3.8.2

Works great, but how do you center the advertisement in the header.

I can't get it to disable per usergroup hmmm any ideas?

This is what I added to get the ads to show on the right side. There is also a spot in the center by I am not using it. ad_location_1 & _2 will show up in the drop downs of the Ad Manager.

WARNING: I am a relative virgin at this but can reverse engineer stuff I see so use my change with caution.

Key:
Existing code shown for reference point.
Code I added

Code:

<tr>

        <td align="$stylevar[center]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>

        <td align="$stylevar[right]" id="header_right_cell">

                <if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />

</if>

        </td>



<!-- added by cmmguy -->

        <td width="33%">

             <p align="center">

             $vbam_location[ad_location_1]



        </td>

        <td width="33%">

             <p align="right">

             $vbam_location[ad_location_2]



        </td>

<!-- /added by cmmguy -->

Note: I do see the other code in there for the right side banner ad but it just kept pushing that ad to the bottom of the header and never to the right side like I though it should.

edit:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
for 1024x768 screen, just note the limit of 990px width,

for 800x600 , will the limit be 770px width
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
for fluid layout
usually a 'td ..../td' can help or do the css style if preferred incline.

I have already installed this new version but i cannot see in the index page, do i need to update anything on styles?

Is that forum add-on needed if you want ads inside of threads? Just upgraded my forum and this mod and the old version had that feature built-in so I'm a little confused.

Since I found no answer, I went ahead and get this to work myself. Here is the step

I created a template module on VBadvanced called adv_portal_sponsor which contains

Code:

<tr><td bgcolor="#f7f7f7" align="center">

$vbam_adcode_custom

</td></tr>

Next, go to VB Ad Management ACP, at the bottom click on Custom
Enter the code for your banner, links, etc...preview and make sure it looks good.

Select yes for Enable custom 1 advertisements?
Set refresh
Set timespan
In Custom 1 target template, select adv_portal_sponsor
Enter $vbam_adcode_custom in the box of custom 1 inclusion.

Save.

A few problem.
The refersh does not seem to work. If i reload the page, then I can see different banners but the banners do not rotate by themselves.
