Hmmm... well, I placed "$leftcoumn_adcode" in my template where I would normally have the img src tag, and when I view the page in the browser, in place of the image I just see "$leftcolumn_adcode". I placed the adcode in the block in the Admin CP and also enabled the Left Column. However, it acts like the variable is not being processed.

I really have no clue how variables work in VB so I am not sure how to investigate?

It would be very cool if your hack had a feature that let you specify a variable name for an adcode block from the Admin CP, enter the adcode for that block, and then that variable could be used anywhere in any of the VB templates. I am basically trying to do this manually. But if you could add extra adcode blocks via the Admin CP without having to do all the editing... would be sweet! :D Of course I could be asking for the moon and not realize it since I have no clue what it would take to make that happen :o

great mod, installed it.. only thing i noticed is.

When i have the header or footer ads on. it just shows my ads. it doesnt come with the box that has on the top Sponsored Links or Remove Advertisements.. The Colums work fine thou

Can anyone with the multiple copyright link problem please download the file attached to this post and overwrite your existing product and let me know if it solves your problem.

I tried that and without any real success. The situation is getting only worse, though. I just noticed today that a new copy popped up. So instead of having 3 copies of the copyright notice in the footer I now have 4. I tried disabling the product itself and that takes 1 copy off. Re-enabling the product adds it back on, however. IT'S SPREADING LIKE A PLAGUE, SAVE MY FORUM, AAAAAAAAAH!!! The forum's www.sakstudios.net/forums by the way.

Please read the post immediately above yours...

Can someone install this for me..please..too difficult:D

its really easy to install just read the instructions.

Is it possible to remove the "Click here to Remove Advertisement" from the header as i want this to be viewed by all usergroups?

It's a setting in Global Settings I think to set the text, just empty it and save.

Now the next silly question:

Where do i get code for my adds?

If i just have a jpg and the when you click on it, it goes to there website.

And if i latter do banners?

What would these codes look like?

I do appologise i and very new to this all and very eager to learn:D :D

I really tried to install this, but to no avail, well sort of, all was good, until this part

* Upload the product using the Product Manager.
* Upload the folder in the includes folder of the zip file you downloaded to the includes folder of your vBulletin installation.
* 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 &nbsp; in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

I cannot find that bit, in the template I am using, its in the default one, only but I am using a customized one at the moment, can I just add what is required somewhere near where it needs to be ? Also I will assume the periods at the end are not required ?

Any suggestions

Thanks, I hope to get this working....

edit: I redid the install, and put all the mods in as per instructions, including the one I don't see in other templates, on in the default, so all is good I went to c panel and ticked off yes but see nothing on the main page, what am I still missing now - what code do I need for advertising to be put in

I will assume since the one line I cannot find to change, will prevent me from making this work as well

sorry this is now two questions

Can i remove the copyright? I like the mod but it's not worth having another copyright at the bottom of my forum. I pmed the coder asking if I can donate to remove the copyright with no resonse. Please answer.

Sorry, I don't know what happened to my email notification. :confused:

There is currently no brand-free option available.

I see. Not even if I paid to take it off? If not then could you please tell me how to uninstall it?

Yes, you just got to your Product Manager and choose "Uninstall" from the drop-down menu for that modification. For what you need though, you could do without an ad manager. Just use this code in your postbit:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3)" AND $post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1")
You adcode here
</if>

Change 1,2,3 to the IDs of the usergroups you want ads to display to.

I just don't see what the big deal is. Even vbulletin allows you to remove the copyright if you pay them.

Fine i'll pay someone else to remove it. Thanks for your help

just kidding i won't but i don't like you ;)

Any answer possibly to my above question ?

sorry if I am impatient

just trying to get ads going on my site, thought this to be the best one, but, just can't seem to get it going

Thanks for the anticipated assistance.

Since a lot of us have the copyright issue and nobody seems to be reporting back if your fix corrected it or not, I just wanted to say thank you for helping! I just downloaded your mentioned "fix" and will let you know if they copyright issue comes back. It usually adds an extra line every 18-24 hrs so I won't know until tomorrow if it helped or not.

Thanks!

I'm having this same problem I cant find &nbsp; I think its been removed

If there's no &nbsp; then just put it anywhere you like. That instruction is there as a guide, not an absolute position.

An image that links somewhere looks like this:

<a href="http://www.linktohere.com"><img src="thisisapicture.jpg" alt="describeyourimage" border="0" /></a>

Simple as that.

This product does absolutely nothing on my 3.6.6 installation.

:confused:

I've the same question. Will it work on 3.6.6?

Well if what Red, just said is true than it should work with 3.6.6 perfectly I'm going to add that last part right now.

UPDATE

The fix posted doesn't solve the multiple copyright problem. Also, I can confirm this mod does work on 3.6.6 BUT the copyright issue also seems to work;)

ARGH.

What scheduled tasks do you have running around the time that the extra copyright link appears? Anything that looks to be a likely trigger?

Cannot find $spacer_close in footer template. I have a VB3.6.6. Please someone help me.

not working properly in 3.6.6. Uninstalled it.

Not working properly in what way? The guy above you apparently has it working in 3.6.6 without a problem.

I guess cause they couldn't find $spacer_close it wasn't working correct ???

I have it working without any issues on 3.6.6. I do have a question though.

I want an ad inbetween threads within a specific forum. Let's say I want the ad after the second thread. How do I tweak the code to have the engine ignore sticky topics when it is counting up topics? I have my sticky threads in a separate table above the normal threads and I do not want the ad to show in the sticky thread area. Any suggestions?

I am willing to donate for your professional installation, but never answer my emails...

Does it work for 3.6.6?

I answered your email! I guess I ended up in your junk mail folder or something. Which wold be strange because I'm sure you had one of those "prove you are not a spammer" systems. Fire me off a PM if you're still interested.

Anyway, signs are that it works in 3.6.6.

How do I set the advertisement to show between the second last and the last post?

Click install please (top right of the first post).

I guess you would count how many posts are displayed on a page and enter that number, less 1, in the postbit display settings. You raise a good point though, if there's a variable amount of posts on the page by user's settings then the advertisements won't necessarily match up.

Im a newbie to VB....
Installed the hack....inserted the ad code for header and footer...but the ads are not showing up.... help me....

Make sure all your settings are correct and you have enabled the correct sections using the radio buttons with the adcode? There's not really much to do...

Really good mod. Thanks very much. :)

I've just started to get a second copyright in the footer on www.talkbritain.co.uk/forum.php

Been fine for months, weird.

I'm narrowing down the list of scheduled tasks to try and isolate the exact cause of the copyright issue. I'm down to tasks for vBGallery, vBSEO & vBackup. I'll let you know how things go.
