EDIT: You my change the task accordingly. However, double sending is not supported and never will.

How do I do that? On my installation it sends an email on the day that the banner expires? Where do I set it to 1 week?

Yeah, once again a style question :)

For fixed 998px styles I use for header2, in additional.css:

PHP Code:


		
			
.rbs_header_2 {

height: 70px;

left: 515px;

position: absolute;

text-align: right;

top: 35px;

width: 468px;

}

and in header2:

PHP Code:


		
			
<div class="rbs_header_2"><!--@vbbanners:0@--></div>

it is working thanx.

I've requested a feature where we could set the expiration emails to x days. I too had no idea it was actually set to 7 days already. Or supposed to be. In my RBS 233 it says very vaguely:

Quote:

Mail addresses: Please list here one or more mail addresses to inform about banner events. Separate each email address by a space, e.g.: joe@domain.tld mary@domain.tld

Nothing about expiration or 7 days, just a very cryptic note about "banner events".

I've been looking into the code, and as far as I can see, it needs some revision ... on the other hand that's code from 3 years ago.

At this point, would you please suggest what kind of mailing options you would like to see, since I will touch it just that much :)

Thanks for asking.

Rephrase the adminCP to clearly state these are expiration emails (not "event" emails).
Include a variable for x days prior (but 7 is fine if you don't). Include in the admincp some text stating the hard coded 7 if that's what it is.
Include a link to the email text (so we don't have to go digging through Phrases to change it).
Include at least one variable in the email - the expiration date itself. Maybe also the name of the banner. e.g. "Hi again. Your banner for %BannerName% is expiring on %ExpireDate%."

Thank you. I would just like a simple reminder to be emailed to both me and the banner owner stating that it is about to expire, anywhere between 7 days and a month will be fine for me.:)
p.s. I am on vb 3.8.5

I have been using this plugin for a while now. I love it.
I have one thing that I have not been able to figure out yet.
I want the banners to display in all my forum header but I do not want it to display on my home page or any CMS page headers.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I can't seem to get this add on to display any ads at all. I have set up the code in the header1 ad location  and also tried putting it in the template and no luck I have no ads showing

Always give links when reporting problems like this. And try to leave up at least a test banner until others can look at it.

Also please assure us a test banner - a simple .jpg without any banner code - appears correctly?

1. Is the banner ENABLED.
2. Check the position box. If it is set to Position 0 (horizontal) then you code should look something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<div align="right"><!--@vbbanners:0@--></div>

3. Do you have the link to the image and does it display when you type that into an address area of the browser.
4. Put a check mark in track and see if the amount starts increasing.
5. Check the start and end dates. I always start mine the day before the current date, making it yesterdays date.

Also, triple check spelling. Allmost all problems about banners not showing up are spelling errors!

If the options placeholder is:

PHP Code:


		
			
<!--@vbbanners:%d@-->

then:

PHP Code:


		
			
<!--@vbbanners:0@-->
<!--@vbbanners:1@-->

etc will work, but not:

PHP Code:


		
			
<!--@vbbanners:0d@-->
@vbbanners:0@

How can I get a banner to display after the 1st post? I don't want it to display in the signature of the first post (one of the in-built options).

I just want it do display between the 1st and 2nd post.

Any idea?

Actually, the default vb4 style doesn't have any delineated "between post" area. It goes straight from the previous sig to the header on the next post. I suspect you're thinking of large border lines or something and those aren't there without a custom style. I dunno, maybe you could design banners with said lines that would make it look like it was more "between posts".

Cool - it worked fine. Thaks :)

Just a question about the one that appears after the last post:
Is there a way of only making that one appear if there's more that 3 posts? The problem is that if there's 2 posts, then you get a double ad which doesn't look good!

Ive got it working in everything but Chrome. I tried the div class fix but no luck. Cleared cache and still nothing. Any ideals?

I searched inside this thread but couldn't find any clue for this...

How can I create a "Text only" banner (not Google related) where I can show some formated text (let's say a colored table) with some words, but keep it tracked and linked in the RBS?

I've tried adding the simple text, but it does not make hyperlink. Tried also adding html code hyperlink in the text area and works, but keeps no track.

Can you help me?

DEGE	12-12-2011 01:31 PM

I figured out the code

replaced:

HTML Code:

$html = $rs['text'];

with:

HTML Code:

sprintf('<a rel="nofollow" href="%s" target="%s">"%s"</a>', $url, $rbs_target, $rs['text']);

There was no other way to get it working since the "text" option of this mod relayed on Google javascript code and didn't keep track of text banners ever.

Thanks anyway

I cannot seem to get the Forum selection tool to work. If I understand it right, a selected forum will be blue and an unselected forum will be white.

If I leave all forums in the Forum selection section white, the enabled banners show up on every forum "like they should."

But if I select them all "blue" except one forum "white" the banner does not display in any forum.

Any ideas?

12-13-2011 04:50 PM

I figured it out, I had to make seperate banners. 1 for the home page, and 1 for everything else...

No clue. But FWIW I used to notice the google ads not showing up in FF for me, and earlier today I was working near the footer adspace in Chrome and I noticed the same thing. I would have to refresh the page several times until one of my local banners came up.

So I don't have an answer, in fact I have worse news for you - I just tried your link in Firefox and the ad didn't show there either.

A possible clue though in IE. An ad shows, but it's not changing. It's stuck on a televisionfanatic.com ad. So maybe there's something wrong with the ad code.

I installed this and for the life of me I can't get any banners to show up.
inserted the code in the Advertising spot
I checked settings ->options and Advertising and all looks good but banners won't show up. I see there are two default google ads. Those wont even show up

I have this code in but nothing shows up

Thanks,

Repeat two times the same placehoder in a sequence and make sure you got at least 2 banners in the database. No 2 locations needed to show 2 banners on a single page.

XMas Bricolage: In order to see how it works, create an image banner with click tracking check its link and try to reproduce the same effect for your text banner.

I have also shown how to do this in this thread but at this point I cant' remember the post ID.

Where do you have the code placed?
Try unchecking flash in setup.

I'm using  in my AD locations I want it to show up. In the text box I use HTML to pull up ad's you might try a Adsense code in the text box.

It is kinda confusing at first but works really well when setup.
