I am using B4 - so your suggesting on waiting on reporting bugs, you are basicly
saying just release 4 then worry about the bugs. the reason for beta is to find
the bugs and fix them, not wait, who wants a stable v4 full of bugs?

+/- 75% of the users' questions still refer to problems with 3.14b

I don't really understand the ad world well yet.

It seems like this mod will help me manage the ads in vbulletin.

I am also considering OpenAd - I think it will provide all the campaign management and reporting.

Does anybody have any recommendations about using OpenAd (with this mod) or perhaps reccomend anther ad package?

thanks!

bchertov 11-26-2007 04:55 AM

RedTyger, any guestimates about releasing 4.0?
Do you think it's likely to be released by the end of February?
B

this is a little vague to me, exactly which files are you refering to edit?

I also see that you did get the sponsor section working, what did you do? or
did i do something wrong? I also noticed you turned postbit on also, did you
notice it was posting a banner after every single post...im not sure if you checked
everything else or not...I also noticed no ads in private msgs when i sent
myself a msg, although, i do not remember seeing anything specific in admin
relating to private msg adcode setup.

Thanks

Hi, yes. The repeating postbit problem was a bug, my mistake. The others were errors in your advertisement setup, most importantly you must either make the template edits manually or automatically, not both. That's why you had 2 copies of ads in some places.

End of today, if I'm quick. :)

OpenAds seems to be the most popular ad software to use with his modification based on what I've heard.

RedTyler

Did you happen to fix the bug? or do i need to wait for the release of v4? what do you mean by editing the templates automatically? I did what your instructions said, I uploaded the files, and xml, I opened the templates and placed the advertisement lines above this, or below that, do i need to remove those advertisement lines in those templates?

can you explain in better detail about the errors?

Thanks

The instructions in this thread were for the old version (now gone). The instructions for the beta were in the manual.

I removed what I saw, but yes if you are using automatic template edits and find your ads appearing twice, you should remove the advertisement lines in the templates.

4.00 not work with me

tarball 11-27-2007 04:56 PM

I get a blank page when product is activated.

soulplayer 11-27-2007 04:56 PM

I'm having the following error:

All ads are visible on the forums for my normal users, but on my "admin" forum they are not there... Nothing..
That forum is only visible for the admins so mayby it has something to do with that?

nanaimobar 11-27-2007 05:03 PM

Thanks RedTyger. Terrific update/upgrade. Followed your instructions on upgrading from 3.x and had no problems.

cygy2k 11-27-2007 05:03 PM

With your new version there are a couple bugs

1- There is no option to remove the text below ads that reads "Remove Advertisements".

2- There is a settings tab on the left but also a settings option in the overall vBulletin Options section that pulls up with no text but with setting areas. (i.e. the pages loads but no text, only check boxes and text boxes)

I upgraded as instructed.

To those with issues, make sure you uploaded the files after you imported the product and language files. I also had to switch it off until I had my adcode inserted.

redlabour 11-27-2007 05:06 PM

BUG 1:

Language File is broken and the normal Product installs without any Phrases. All Options in AdminCP from vBAdManagement are broken now.

BUG 2:

All Ads are broken after upgrading.

How to rollback? Which Table is to be restored after uninstalling 4.0 and installing 3.1 to get my Advertisment Codes back??? *omg*

tarball 11-27-2007 05:08 PM

Can someone please share v3.1 installation files please...

onehost 11-27-2007 05:12 PM

Red,

Ok, I installed v4

Ive enabled header
I placed banner code
banner code shows in preview
I placed header automatic insertion: top

it works, I do not like the position of the banner, how can i place
it how you saw it the first time? top/right of the sceen, straight
across from the VB logo? or even drop the banner down somewhat
to make it appear more normal.

Thanks

This is what ive been looking for also, red should have option to remove/replace
the Text, and the link, I want to change the text, and point the link someplace
other then what it is. I have yet to find out how. it would be much easier
if it was in admincp/ad management

Thanks

RedTyger 11-27-2007 05:15 PM

Did everyone having problems follow the instructions properly? You cannot upgrade from 3.xx to 4.00. You must uninstall first, then install.

Please try and bear with me if you're having problems, its an awful lot of people upgrading at the same time. :)

I did uninstall from the Product Manager and removed the folder you mentioned in the instructions. I followed the directions to a T.

1. Removing this must be done manually now. Look for <phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[adintegrate_remove_ads]</phrase> in the applicable template and just delete it.

2. That is an unfortunate side-effect of the way that the vBulletin products are set up. It'll just have to be ignored I'm afraid.

There are no Instruction in the *.zip File so everyone thinks its only overwritting. :down:

Can you please tell us in which Tables the old Ads are saved to get them back ??

Hi,
Look for <phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[adintegrate_remove_ads]</phrase> in the templates. You can move it where you want and replace the $vboptions[bburl] part with where you want it to link to.

To change the text, edit the phrase adintegrate_remove_ads with the phrase manager.

I appreciate its a little more unwiedly in some ways, but this way allows for different setups in different places and is also a little more efficient for your forum speed-wise. :)

That worked perfectly for me. I just went through and removed that part in all the templates and that solved that.

I have attached the 3.14 version to the main post, uploading the older xml may restore the old settings.

cygy2k 11-27-2007 05:26 PM

Question

I had the old version (3.1) installed and I had gone through and put in several template edits that you instructed for the placement of ads. Can we remove those or do we still need them? I don't have the 3.1 instructions now so don't know off hand what templates you had us modify.

Template edits are done just the same in this version, so you can still make use of them if you want. Just make sure you don't use the new automatic template edits or they'll be added twice.

I've attached two files to this post, try overwriting them and see if that solves your problem.

vb_ad_management.php goes in your admincp directory.
vb_ad_management.xml is uploaded using your product manager, set overwrite to yes.

No does not. All Fields are blank now. And i cant find the old File needed in my includes Folder of my Backup. Where are the Settings saved ?

cygy2k 11-27-2007 05:46 PM

Big Bug--

When activated, nobody can login. You enter your login details and click on the submit button and it takes you to a blank page. You can't even login to the AdminCP. Now you can try loging into the AdminCP and then if you know a link in it get in the back way.

NOTE - this is with a perfectly untouched copyright and footer.

karel1985 11-27-2007 05:49 PM

nothing has changed, something with custom templates?

also i saw another thing. (yeah i know im good :D )

1. on ./admincp/vb_ad_management.php?do=adintegrate_sharing
on top i see:
Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in /admincp/vb_ad_management.php on line 136

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/vb_ad_management.php on line 145

If advertisements are appearing twice, it means that either the template edit has been made twice or that you are using both the template edit and the automatic template edit. You can test this by disabling automatic template edits in Global Settings and seeing if the second advertisement goes away.

onehost 11-27-2007 06:15 PM

I have a question on google adsense

Lets says I have 100 posts, and banners to show every 10 posts...
that would be 10 banner rotations, would that not violate
googles TOS? I thnk google only allows 3 banner roations on
any giving banner type.

Thanks

RedTyger 11-27-2007 06:31 PM

Yes, you should only do 3 per page. In fact I don't think it's possible to do more than 3 per page.
