Hi Guys, I love this product and use it on 5 forums that I am running.

I'm just starting up a new forum, with VB5 Connect (got to give it a go sometime!).

Has anybody tried this on VB5? I'm assuming that it won't work at all. Is there any workaround?

Criteria for ad are met

There is only:

Criteria for ad are not met

Is there any way to adjust this?

It never was asked. What kind of criteria would you not apply?

So it would be helpful to be able to set the Position 2 banners criteria to: "Criteria for ad <Bicycle Forum> ARE met.

Does that make sense?

Edit added for clarification: Wait... I just thought that through again and it won't work either. Ok - so how do I do what I want to do using the vBulletin Advertising system?

Yes. You can solve this problem by selecting all forums but the one to be excluded for position 2, just the one forum for position 3.

If specific forums are selected, the ads disappear on the home page and other pages which are NOT a specific forum.

How do I get around this problem?

Can I display a single banner from within a large group of banners using the banner Id?
Is there a way to display a single group of banners in forum home and selective forums without maintaining redundant groups of banners?

I have our banners set to show everywhere. I can't use the Forums selection as it removes it from forum home and I can't select forum home because it removes it from forums.

If I can show a single banner I believe I can use an IF/Else statement to show a single banner for a forum id otherwise show the rotation.

  1. No. But you can duplicate a banner setting and have it (1) on forum home and (2) on certain forum sections as well.
  2. Then you would not select anything (nor home neither single sections) and that's it.
  3. You can show a single banner only if you have one banner per each location. However this product is intended to show as many banners as you have for a single location at a near to random frequency. Aditionally, you may define a weight and thus show some banners less or more frequently.

Okay... so duplicate the ad and in the duplicate version click Forum Home so it shows there too. Am I reading this correctly?

Just confirming that this (the two posts above) worked perfectly.

Thanks, y2ksw!

This is literally my third favorite mod on this site, I've used it hundreds of times over and being able to paste other ad system codes into this just seals the deal.

Glad you got it working properly :D.

Hi, I've been using this addon for years and it's great.

I have a question about the horizontal banners. My site forums are located at http://www.screamandfly.com/forum.php

The horizontal banners display on the top and bottom. I was wondering if there is any easy way to specify the horizontal banners to only display in the header? Also, does this addon prevent the VBulletin system horizontal banners (above footer) from displaying?

Thank you!

If you put all of the horizontal banners into the same group/position #, and reference that group in the header of the forum where you want them to display, it will just use that group there.

Thank you rhody I appreciate your help. I did not originally install this modification on my forums (my admin did, and unfortunately, he is no longer with us). So I am a bit ignorant as to why things are as they are. It appears that I have only one location for horizontal banners, and that location places all horizontal banners into rotation in both locations - above the footer, and below the header. I assume my old site admin set it up so 'position 0' is referenced in both those locations? I see no option to place banners in those two locations respectively.

Here is a screenshot of the CP for the banner system. Position 0 is for horizontal banners in both positions collectively. All other positions seem to be for vertical banners.

Thanks again for your help.:)

If you have some that are a custom size and you want them isolated from the others, you could use group2 or group3 just for those, and reference it from the code that shows in your header. As long as the banners reference group 2, and the location references group 2, it will only pull from that group for that section.

I do something similar on one of my forums at www.ppfacorner.com If you refresh it several times, you'll see rotating banners from 3 different groups (each is a different size)
