No need to go scrounging around in multiple sub-folders this way.

Good tip on renaming folders, thanks.

Hello..

Why the vbulletin software dont have a problem in the date/time when writing new thread/post into the database?

Can you make this plugin/addon to work like the vbulletin software?

CharlieDelta 02-02-2013 10:10 PM

I did a search and see there is no answer, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ve#post2167996
I am having the same problem and cannot get ads to show on archive page.

OK - figured this out after lots of searching: Just use "Doubleclick for Publishers" (www.google.com/dfp).

Interesting. Looks a bit easier than OpenX. It's been around since 2010; I wonder why I've never heard of it before. I'll do some reading, but has anyone got some personal experience with it? How much does it cost? How easy is it to get running?

I'm amazed how long it took me to find too. I also asked over at an online marketing forum and nobody seemed to have a clue :confused:. It's free of charge for less than 90m impressions per month (not bad, eh?). Very simple to use. I just set up my campaigns, generated the code and pasted it in to RBS. It was all really simple. You can even allow customers to see stats for their campaign. I like the fact that it's a Google product and the stats have some credibility. The RBS stats count bot impressions and are are not any use to me.

Is there any solution to this?

imported_stefan 02-08-2013 09:06 PM

Now I have a good script to show ads and have to ask you how to get rid of it :-).
What does that mean?

I show now the banner to all users.
I can also define now usergroups where to show the banner.

But I have a certain sponsor group. People who donate are getting for one year an aditionally usergroup.

I did not add this usergroup in the field show the banner, but of course one of the groups (standard member) is in the field show banner.

So what I need is one more field.

Don't show the banner to these groups (its shown to the rest of usergroups)

So if someone is a sponsor he is not seeing any banners.

Is that maybe possible in the next release?

justhav2p 02-09-2013 07:24 PM

This Mod is awesome!!!

1 problem.

my theme came stock with a banner ad placement on home page. I deleted it.

How do I add the code to show the random banners to the top right under username?

GarethBurrows 02-11-2013 09:00 PM

We have changed the AdminCP to something else for security reasons.

However, it appears that the forum just loads a blank page now when the Mod is activated.

Once the Mod is disabled, the pages load fine.

Any link to the change in AdminCP to something else?

Regards

Gareth

Love this app! But I have used up 0 to 9. Is there a way to add additional slots?

Great job!

You have uploaded the files to the wrong place.
Two things:
1) Go to the upper right and use the "Search this mod" box. Search on a subset of the error such as "Please upload". For almost every mod this leads to the answer.
2) Read https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201864

You also may get this error if the FTP service has different rights than the web service. In other words, make sure the web server can actually read (=see) the files :)

sivaganeshk 02-25-2013 07:29 AM

Errr... my reply had been missing because of vb.org db issue.

I installed the Mod in vb 4.2.0 P3 and the ads is not working.

when I use the code, it shows

Code:

<div align="center"></div>
It is not showing the ads/banner image

Or you have vbSEO (and not read the manual), or there is no banner available.

Can I stack 2 smaller ads, say 340 x 60 on the right side in the header?

I saw it on another site but couldn't figure out how they did it.

I tried putting stuff in the template ad_global_header1 and ad_global_header2 but I'm not sure how to align them so they are on the right and not running into the top login links.

ok, make two divs say <div align="center" ></div> in the first ad block and another div say <div align="center"></div>, but need to add class and style for the following reasons:

1- to know what each div goes.
2- to add border style to know exactly the edges of the div

so the codes will be like this (ad_global_header1):

Code:

<div align="center" class="ad1" style="border:1px solid #FF0000"></div>
And for code 2 (ad_global_header2):

Code:

<div align="center" class="ad2" style="border:1px solid #0000FF"></div>
I believe you know that you need to add the banner position code between the div tag, right!! wither it is vbseo or vb https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=272725

so in this case you will have two divs with two different borders; red and blue, respectively.

if you want to add style to that, you have two options:

1- to add more styling to style in the div,
2- or remove style from the div and write your own style based on the classes in each div.

cheers

an it be that the statistic does not work 100% ? where and how you can read the banners yet ?

the clicks do not change, remain on zero :(

impressionen 13,520,978
Clicks:1


http://www.overclockingstation.de/rb...44e078cbee3bbf

What is that?

It may not work, if you are normal scripts. You may however craft special scripts which explicitly call the rbs_banner.php script and thus count also clicks, but it is not guaranteed to work with all scripts. For example you may not craft Google Adsense scripts that way.

tacklebox joe 03-17-2013 09:20 PM

y2k...i see how you can stack two ads but can you stack banners the same too? your hack works great i'm just figuring it out as a noob but i want the banners to align on the same line so to speak and not be under each other as on my site www.njfishreports.com

<div align="right"><!--@vbbanners:0@--></div>
<div align"left"><!--@vbbanners:0@--></div>
<div align="center"><!--@vbbanners:2@--></div>

If all I'm looking for is something to rotate banner images with no ads, is this mod a bit to much just for doing that?

Compared to what? Coding a rotation in an ad slot yourself? Actually, this mod doesn't do 'rotation' - it only does 'random' - which will often display the same image several times in a row.

K4GAP 03-18-2013 01:33 AM

Well actually what I'm looking for is an add on that will rotate fairly large images on the article page with links for each image to a particular article. More like a slider widget I suppose.

The solution is in your example. If you need to show the same banner two times, you will have to use two different locations (and thus, two separate banners). Otherwise you may use the text field pand paste there your HTML code directly.

It is not a carousel :)

tacklebox joe 03-19-2013 01:16 AM

thanks y2k...have another issue....i can see all the banners i place in position '0' however, when i plae another banner in a different position i.e. '2' '3' and etc they seem not to be showing up on the site...would you know why that would be?

also can you stack more than two banners across, say like four? i.e.

<!--@vbbanners:0@-->&nbsp;<!--@vbbanners:0@--><!--@vbbanners:0@-->&nbsp;<!--@vbbanners:0@-->

Do you have banners for locations 2 and 3?

You may stack any number of banners, as long as you have that many banners in the database. All missing banners are discarded silently, as there is nothing like a default banner in case there are none available.

OK I have banged my head trying to get this working, I cant seam to get beyond the simpe display of the demo banner which was already created when I installed the mod.

I have uploaded all the files and imported the plugin twice and I cant seem to get the banner to show up anywhere.

What am I doing wrong here I dont get how such a simple mod is getting the best of me, maybe long hours and short time to work on this.

Can someone please give me a hand and help me out here I would love to get this working as im trying to replace my old CMS with vbadvanced and one this that product lack is a good banner system and in dire need to get this working.

OK I got it working and yes it was a VBSEO issue which I resolved.

Can someone help explain how to get the banners to show up in photopost?

tomshawk 03-25-2013 03:47 AM

According to your updates section, the last vb up to is 4.0.2

Does this work with 4.2.0

Just asking as the adverts system in vb is not working for me.

Thanks

alaska_av8r 03-25-2013 05:34 AM

Did anyone ever find out why the start date and end date automatically increments the hourly valude as mentioned in post 2116.

Mine behaves the same way, I set a start time and end time and it will automatically increment to a later time as you save a setting.

If I set it to end at 0200 and click save, when I look at it again it shows 0400, if I change nothing and hit save it shows 0600.

photopost does not call the final page rendering of vbulletin, thus banners would not get rendered in photopost.
