Yes. I'm using it with 3.6.8 alongside several other add-ons. Either you've done something wrong or one of your other add-ons is interfering with this one.

Is there a way to have specific sets of ads show up in specific forums? I installed this mod, but I need the ability to have forum specific advertising to show up in the threads, after the last post. This gives the advertisements their maximum implact since they are directed towards the specfic topics covered in that particular forum

Very soon, yes. In this version....no.

IS there a way to use this in multiple templates and change the colors for each template individually?

Can you explain that a bit further?

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the new addition.

ok the question is, when the code is entered on the advanced box, it includes the code for the color of the template.

Some of us have multiple templates and if we use the $postbit_advertisement or any of the other commands it will use the colors determined for the first template.

How can I use this hack on a forum with 4 different templates?

i had a suggestion forthis mod, hopefully it doesnt get lost in the shuffle here.
there is a global option to "not display ads to group x"
well my though is to add an option to each group/type of ads to either abide by this rule, or not to.

reason: i have many ads in the header, footer, thread, posts, etc.. some of these i would like only guests to see, some i want guests and registered users to see, and some i want everyone to see, even paid subscribers.

if this is not clear in any way please let me know and i will clarify, thanks again for one of THE best mods i have used

after full investigate with the error that i posted in #1491
the error still there

i use vb 3.6.8 fresh installation
then i install this product
and configurate every thing related to it
it is not work but only work in archive

my php : 5.2.4
mysql : 4.1 last version
centos

any one can confirm the bug by install full fresh vb 3.6.8 and then install the product in server using 5.2.4 php version and 4.1 mysql ?

thanks

You could edit the postbit_advertisement template and use conditionals to split it into 4 versions?

Next version, I'm afraid.

Can you post the error message?

Clicked install, thanks and this mod looks promising :)

NO error msg , it just not shown
i install it in fresh vb3.6.8 on :
php : 5.2.4
mysql : 4.1 last version

can u test it and confirm if there is a bug ?

I don't have access to that setup, sorry. I would imagine that it's a problem with your settings though.

i tested in 2 sites on the server that have these features for php and mysql and also not working

can any one confirm the bug ?

Yes, but if you're using the same settings on another server then it could still be the settings. If you want to PM me an admin login for one of the forums I'll take a look when I have a minute.

doesnt work for me with <script> ads

note im also on php 5.2.4

thank u
another one now has the same error



i am sure of my seting and if u want i can give u login to my site which is under test

i own my server, so im willing to change any settings.. to see if i can correct it.. just let me know what to change mage, and kind asap if possible -.- need something like this, or ill have to use phpads,

That would be helpful, thank you. If you could PM me a login.

What is the problem with script code exactly? It's not the same issue as yahoooh if it's problematic specific to that. Is the output source code for the <script></script> tags exactly the same as what you're putting in the adcode box?

After uninstalling 3.0 beta, installed a fresh 3.14 version.

I have checked in templates and the necessary changes have been made so the plugin should work fine, however the ad is only showing in archive pages not in the forums.

Please help. thanks.

RedTyger > I can provide a login to fix it. I appreciate your support.

Nope, i thought it was <script> but it wasnt, it was infact the column being put below the footer.

i moved the code into the header.. and now i get this

:s

Ah I fixed it. I happned to have only 6 php files uploaded to /includes/.

There are 7 files. cheers.

Salü,

her is the german language for the vB Ad Management 3.1 (Ad Sharing Edition).

If you find any error, tell me and i fix it...
For Donation the Translation look at GWars.de.

Have fun.

greetings Indy

Thanks for that. :) Phrases are completely separate in the next version, so you can distribute translation files on your own website or wherever you want.

Hey RedTyger! I have seen other people asking for this throughout this site, but no one has been answered or no one knows an answer.

I have created my custom field that will allow the user to insert just their Google Id. I have set up the usergroups that I want to have access to it in vB Ad control panel. However, what I really need to do is set that custom field to only be accessable by certain usergroups. I know that you can disable the ad sharing through the admin cp, but the custom field will still be displayed while nonfunctional... thus confusing members who see it and don't why it isn't working for them.

I am thinking there would be some way to set up some sort of conditional statement to make that custom field viewable by certain usergroups, but I don't know how to write that stuff or where to put it. Any ideas?

Also, I used your instructions to create a new custom block (displayed with the header/footer admin section) and it worked, but one small issue. Everything is functional with this new block, but there is no text showing up telling you what you are looking at in the admin area. The text areas and checkboxes are there, but no labels or descriptions. Did I miss something? Thanks!

Hmm... I hate to say this, and maybe I am just missing something, but I think part of the description of this mod is a little misleading. You explain how ad sharing can be enabled/disabled per usergroup, but I think the wording is confusing. The way I read it, I assumed this meant that by disabling certain usergroups, you were preventing that group from inserting their own ad code. However, what actually happens when you enter a usergroup to be disabled, it completely turns off the option for that group to view the shared ads. This is a big problem for me and for others, I am sure.

I want ALL usergroups to be able to view the shared ads at all times. But, I want to only allow my "Ad Sharing" usergroup to enter and display their ad code. So if I try to enter only my "Ad Sharing" group in the "enable ad sharing" section of the cp, then only that group is able to view the shared ads. It blocks every other group from viewing the shared ads. So, then I ad the other groups to the "enable ad sharing" section of the cp and now they can all see the ads, but also anyone will be able to insert their own ad code which is a whole new problem.

This is what's happening....

Scenario 1:

IF ONLY "Ad Sharing" usergroup enabled = all access (viewing and inserting code)
THEN All other usergroups disabled = cannot insert code OR VIEW (need to be able to view)

Scenario 2:

IF ALL usergroups enabled = all access (viewing AND inserting code)

So this is the desired result which I can't seem to get...

"Ad Sharing" usergroup enabled = all access (viewing and inserting code)
All other usergroups = only access to viewing (no option to insert code)

I hope I explained that ok. Forgive me if I just completely missed something that would eliminate this problem. This is why I believe it would be a really good solution to figure out how to make the custom user fields viewable only by set usergroups.

That ability is missing from vBulletin. Originally I wrote an FAQ entry about ad sharing for ad sharing forums using the modification, but I can't use conditionals and it would be unfair to advertise adsharing on forums that have disabled it, so I never included it. A suggestion for Jelsoft I guess, although I think it's already been asked for.

I'd suggest just explaining in the custom field description. Even if conditionals were used, inevitably someone will ask on the forum about it and much the same explanation will have to be put forward anyway for everyone else. It's a comparatively sizable job for a very small change, not something I want to do I'm afraid.



Oops, it's been missing from the instructions all this time and nobody ever said! Sorry.

In vb_ad_management_314.xml

ADD BELOW:


Can anyone else confirm this? Originally that is how I mistakenly wrote it to work, but I thought that this fix in the changelog changed it to function properly: v3.1 Fixed usergroup and userid banning for shared adcode, again now they actually work. What should be happening is that users banned from sharing will see the admin's default code at all times. If that's what's not happening, that's what will happen when I've fixed it.

That is depressing, but I understand. Thanks. I will have to figure out something.

Haha! No problem. You have done a lot of work here so I won't hold it against you. ;)

My bad... I worded that wrong. Yes, it is showing the default admin code when the group is disabled. The problem is that I was trying to make the disabled group only unable to add their own code (make use of the ad sharing), but still be able to view ALL other's shared code (not just the admin's). SO, I thought disabled would mean that group had no abillity to insert shared code, but still the abillity to view SHARED ads... not just admin's ads only. Does that make more sense? Sorry.

By the way, I love this mod! Don't want you to think I was complaining too much! Haha! :D

Also, I just made the changes to vb_ad_management_314.xml
and ran the import with the "Allow Overwrite" set to yes, but I am not seeing any changes to the custom block. Do I need to completely reinstall everything for this to work or should just importing do the trick?

I take it back, I thought of a way to do it and it seems to work OK. It'll be in the next release.


I was getting confused between versions, the perils of using a version that's completely different to the one I'm supporting! How you described is how it should work, if it doesn't then it's a bug. I'll take a look.




I can't test it as I'm working on the next version and can't easily roll back, but it should work. All it does is add a label, as long as you can remember what it's for...

The next version does not require editing the code to add new adcode blocks, so I'd be obliged if you could wait for the easier solution please!

Yeayyyy! How exciting! I am glad you are going to add a way to enable/disable the custom field! Thank you so much! I am sure a lot of people will find that very usefull! Any kind of estimate on when the new version will be released?

I also want to say that it is really great that you do such a good job of supporting this mod and taking the time to answer people's questions about it. I try my best to learn without bothering the developers, but I am still learning. It's a huge help and I know makes us confident in installing your code. I always feel I am taking more of a risk installing things that the owner does not respond to feedback with. Just thought you deserved to know that!

Next version? when???

Just got it installed, thanks for the great job! :up:

There is no enable/disable, if they don't have ad-sharing access they never see any of the options. Simple as that. :)

Thank you! :D

If I can have a test version out by next week I'll be happy.

Thanks, RedTyger! I will be anxiously awaiting the new master piece! ;) You rock!

Hi;

I downloaded VB Ad Management 3.1 coded by you from vbulletin.org

I have little comma ";" located at header and footer banners.

How can I corrct and get rid of this.

Plase look at my website screenshot from below link, you will see at up right corner (pointed with red arrow)

Thanks

It means you have an extra ; somewhere in your header acode or template. :)

This looks like just the mod I was looking for... but since I don't have time to go through the entire thread, I have just one quick question...

Do I have to enable the ad-sharing in order for this mod to work?

I want to be the only one placing the ads in my forum!

Is it possible?

Thanks

No.

Yes. Just don't activate that feature from the ACP. :)

I know you are probably getting tired of me by now :o but I have noticed something strange. I have the "Identify adcode's owner?" enabled and am now seeing the stars (*) popping up all over even though that user isn't using the ad sharing. They have nothing entered into the custom field I created so the star shouldn't be showing up, right? And it seems to only be on random users. Any ideas? Thanks! :D
