Il believe sidebars are generated with widgets (?). In this case it may be necessary to create a HTML or PHP widget with a banner placeholder. I can't tell though, it's a designer issue ... :)

Quick Question.....

which template should I be using to get a banner in the blank space between the navbar and the body??

thanks...

Admin CP > Advertising > Manage ads / Add New Ad > Global Below Navbar

I can't get this to show up in a CMS widget, Do i need to use a static html widget? and do i just put @vbbanners:%d@ in it??

I have vbseo installed, I've changed the place holder as per the PDF but still can't get it to work.

Thats included in the body.

I want to use the space between the body and navbar..

I realize this is an older post but I see nobody has replied.

In Styles & Templates, select the navbar template for your style.

Look for this code..

Copy those two lines and then look for this code..

Then paste what you copied between the two lines above like this..

Then delete the original lines you copied. The ads will now be between the header and body of the forum.

I'm about to upgrade from 2.2.6. to 2.3.1.
Will all my settings and click counters be reset during the upgrade?

Probably this ... I suppose widgets are normally cached or use different rendering (no idea).

I found out using the <!--@vbbanners:0@--> code will work in the vB Advertising program.

It didn't prior, but for some reason it is now working. I am using the BETA 4.1.2 MS. This may have something to do with it working properly in the advertisement section. It's much better when you don't have to edit code.

how can I add a 10th vertical position?

You have 10 banner types (positions) available. I have no plan to add more.

Please look at this page:
http://www.detailingbliss.com/

I used the 9 vertical positions in the sidebar to track each banner. If I use 1 of those again I could possibly have a duplicate show. correct?

You may use for all of these banners a single position. If you have 9 banners to show, and 9 placeholders if the same position, all of them will appear. if you have less, then less and if you have more, they will rotate, showing all at an average medium. And they will also rotate "in place", giving each page a different order of each every time a page loads.

Typically, a 9 banner layout each below each other would look like:

<!--@vbbanners:1@--><br /><br />
<!--@vbbanners:1@--><br /><br />
<!--@vbbanners:1@--><br /><br />
<!--@vbbanners:1@--><br /><br />
<!--@vbbanners:1@--><br /><br />
<!--@vbbanners:1@--><br /><br />
<!--@vbbanners:1@--><br /><br />
<!--@vbbanners:1@--><br /><br />
<!--@vbbanners:1@-->

No matter what, each banner can be click tracked accurately.

Of course, if you need each banner to stay in a certain place, then it does not make much sense to use this plugin and you are better off with a manual insertion of each of the banners in your templates ;)

How do i insert the banners on the classified and gallery pages? ? ?

Thanks.

Installed Excellent

Just some ads like this

http://media.markethealth.com/banner...465&aid=422154

At my site they do ... please try a little harder :)

If you use common templates to all pages, there you go. Such as ad_below_navbar. In all other cases, add a placeholder to the specific template at your wish.

i did but still nth happened what should i do?

Works great, thanks!

Ok I'm stumped!! I have been running this mod fine for months.
But now I have a problem. I currently run a single ad placement in the header just below the log in as well as the 2 default VB ads under navbar and footer.
What I wish to do is place a rotational ad into a cms widget. I can get the widget to work fine when using:
<!--@vbbanners:0@--> But adding banners to another list and using that instead won't work.
It seems I have the nth placeholder in options set to <!--@vbbanners:0@--> so it wont show anything else I assume?
Reading this thread it seems that should be <!--@vbbanners:%@--> instead but changing that makes the ads in the header disappear.
So It seems I can only show ads in <!--@vbbanners:0@--> with that same code as the nth placeholder.
What am I doing wrong? I use the <!--@vbbanners:0@--> code in the ad location template

Help?!!

I've had this add-on working beautifully from vBulletin 3.x right through to 4.12.

Hwever, I've just added my first Flash banner.

The placeholder for where I've entered the information for the Flash ad is in a centered div. For all of the static banners, this works perfectly.

But the Flash banner, although it displays fine, is left-aligned instead of centered.

Any idea? Is this something to do with the Flash wrapper?

===============

Updated: Apologies. This was my error.

I had a placeholder inserted in the ad template for this position prior to the addition of the "Advertising" feature in the Admin CP. When I updated to use the vBulletin Advertising locations, the older placeholder (which was not centered) got left behind in the original template. Removing the redundant placeholder fixed the problem.

Interestingly, when using regular image banners, this was not a problem. It was only when I tried to use the Flash wrapper that the olde redundant placeholder took precedence over the newer ACP Advertising positions.

I must be a dummy, but I don't often work in the admin.
Is there anyone who can simply point me into the right direction?
I can't see any banners on the online forum. Neither the banners that were installed with this mod.

All seems to work fine inside of the admin. But apparantly there is something I miss that I don't see in the installation instructions.
I cant' get the banners to show up.

Next to that I see one of the images you provide with the mod. But I can't find this page and have the feeling it's essential. Where do I look in the templates for this page? I am kinda lost here. *^^* I can't find the template.

Kind Regards,

It says right in the top of the picture "ad_navbar_below" so, use your "search in templates" option in the AdminCP, and search for that. Enter in the information, and there ya go.

Working great, thank you. Can you tell us how to edit the email sent in the banner event notifications?

can someone point me in the right direction? we just upgraded from 3.6 vb to 4.x vb and now I can not get the ads to work. I am sure it is because the code is now missing from the template, but when I add it back in they still do not show up.

do I need to upgrade my rbs to the latest version? if I do this, will I lose the banners I currently have in there?

...update I went ahead and upgraded to 2.3.1 and still can not get it to turn on. I have tried using the ad manager in vb, i have edited the ad_navbar_below template etc. nothing is working

Thanks in advance

got it fixed... thanks

could you please help me a litter bit more on this :( What i sould acctualy need to do :(

Sorry

Great mod.
Working fine on 4.1.1 with a few tweaks.

Would suggest one thing.

A preview mode/button please :)

Thanks for the mod :D

OK, I'm stumped. One of the flash banners I run is directly below the Notifications dropdown for PMs.

In order to allow the dropdown to go over the flash banner I modified the code and added wmode="transparent" as shown below...

That works very well with one problem. When I click on the flash banner to be taken to the link for it, many times I get 2 windows that open. One with the proper link and one with the banner by itself.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I just finally got flash banners working on my forum but I was not able to use the embed ot object code. The only way it worked for me was to put the target link and the link to the flash banner in the two text fields:

and then set all three check boxes below that to "Yes":

Why don't you try to insert your Flash banner this way:

I haven't had a problem displaying flash banners. That has always worked.

The problem comes when you have a banner in such a position that a menu needs to drop down over them. My modification of the code allows that. But, now when the banner is clicked sometimes two windows open. One with the actual proper link, another with the banner itself.

The banner supplied by the client is not clicktag enabled.

Then simply ignore the clickTAG part and have your client insert the destination link. Either way, the code I provided was just a suggestion.

I had installed Rotating Banner System. This system is working on Header 1, and Below Navbar, but not Above Content 1. I do not know why. Can anyone tell me? Thanks.

Do you have 3 banners defined?

If you only have 2 banners and they are already displayed in Header 1 and Below Navbar, the Above Content has nothing to display.

For those having the same problem I was having with the flash banner itself loading in one window and the link for the banner in another, the attached swf fixes that problem.

In the original swf supplied with the Banner System, there were two items, one with an onClipEvent (mouseUp) and one with an on (release) event which are in effect the same thing, and this was causing two windows to open.

This swf eliminates the onClipEvent (mouseUp) for the banner container and leaves the on (release) for the button. That way click tracking continues to work.

Changes made to flash source:

REMOVED:
LEFT INTACT:

Thanks. I have 8 banners defined. All of them are displayed in Header 1. Now How can I solve my problem?

I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking and didn't realize you meant in the archive.

I just checked, and I have the same problem.

How can we solve this problem? Thanks.

It's been a long time since I used this mod and with new changes and features I cannot get this to work on my vB 3.6.7 version.

I have tried every imaginable thing and the templates are returning only the raw code of placeholder name.

Here are the screenshots of my settings:

Banner Settings:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/03/46.jpg

General settings:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/03/47.jpg

and Template code on my navbar template
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/03/48.jpg

I have vBSEO and I used custom placeholder name to avoid HTML cleanup issue.

At beginning nothing was even showing up. Once I changed hook locations for plugin Banner Insertion from global_complete to parse_templates, only the raw placeholder code is shown and not the actual banner as in:
Can someone advise how to get around this problem and make it work with 3.6.7 version?

I am using image banner and need to have click tracking feature enabled.

Many thanks for your time.
