I assume when referring to "upload files" you are asking about "How to install this modification?"

It is just like every other modification install you will come across...

1) Download the latest version of the modification.
In this instance it is 2.4.2.rbs.zip
2) Unzip modification.

3) Upload files to their respective directories.
In general this is the same for almost every vBulletin modification:
a) All files within the "upload" directory are uploaded as if upload = your forum directory.
b) product-xxxxxxx.xml are always imported (this is usually shown as a single file outside of the upload directory). This is done through "Manage Products" under Plugins & Products in the vbulletin admincp.
If you want further details or a video, google "vbulletin modification install", there are plenty of other references already out there.

it's possible generate more than 10 position ?

Setting this up for the vb sidebar.
I have one block in the sidebar with say 6 clickable banners.
My co admin who does the banners wrote me this::
Quote:
I see problems with ID (

PHP Code:
<!--@vbbanners:%d@--> 
) and multiple ads on one ID-place as all ads might have different re-directs.
I think he means as I said, we have one main block within the sidebar with around 6 banners in it, each one goes to a different url when clicked, we need to have each one tracked separately.

Any ideas?

I just upgraded from vb3.8 to vb4.2.1 and the rotating banner mod is not working. Is this mod compatible with the vb4 advertising system? I much prefer using this than the built in banner ad system.
Suggestions?

Lots of people using 4.2.x in here. I am still on 4.2.1 myself.
did you add
Code:
<div align="center"><!--@vbbanners:0@--></div>
to the vb advertising in admincp?
Have you disabled all other plugins first?
Can't make many suggestions without more details.

Thanks for the quick reply! I didnt add that code...whats that supposed to do?

I haven't disabled any banner or advertising plugins as there aren't any except for the vb4 (with suite) advertising.

Two questions,
Can I display a single banner from within a large group of banners using the banner Id?
Is there a way to display a single group of banners in forum home and selective forums without maintaining redundant groups of banners?

I have our banners set to show everywhere. I can't use the Forums selection as it removes it from forum home and I can't select forum home because it removes it from forums.

If I can show a single banner I believe I can use an IF/Else statement to show a single banner for a forum id otherwise show the rotation.

That code tells vb to display one random banner from the 'Position 0 Banner List' that you have setup in the Rotating Banner System.
Under AdminCP - Rotating Banner System - Make sure you have an ad setup in Position 0 Banner List, that its active and not expired. Also make sure the url to your image/banner is valid. If not, nothing will appear and you will not know if RBS is working or not.

Make sure the ad is setup.
AdminCP - Advertising - Manage Ads should have a sample 'RBS 0 Below NavBar' ad setup. Click it, select below nav bar. Create a new ad if you don't see one already there. In the ad HTML section enter
PHP Code:
<!--@vbbanners:0@--> 
You can align it later after its working.
Make sure its active and uncheck any options below until you know the ad works.

Yes, but most probably your styles got updated and overwritten.

This is the code for showing all the banners from location 0.

Upgrading from 3.x to 4.x has essentially destroyed any customisation of styles. with the above code in one or all of the advertising sections, your banners should be up again.

  1. No. But you can duplicate a banner setting and have it (1) on forum home and (2) on certain forum sections as well.
  2. Then you would not select anything (nor home neither single sections) and that's it.
  3. You can show a single banner only if you have one banner per each location. However this product is intended to show as many banners as you have for a single location at a near to random frequency. Aditionally, you may define a weight and thus show some banners less or more frequently.

bazookajoe 11-27-2013 11:06 PM
Got it ..thanks!

Will posting this code as an ad work on any banner ad location like postbits? Do you have to post it in each section?

Is there a way to disable banners just on the CMS Articles pages?

you would insert 6 lines like this:
Code:
<!--@vbbanners:0@--><br />
<!--@vbbanners:0@--><br />
<!--@vbbanners:0@--><br />
<!--@vbbanners:0@--><br />
<!--@vbbanners:0@--><br />
<!--@vbbanners:0@-->
and then insert at least 6 banners in location 0 and you are done. Each banner is tracked separately and the number of banners in your database decide how randomly these banners appear in the given space. If you have 6 or less banners available, the just would flip in the given space (sidebar I guess).

For postbits you must change the placeholder format in the options, since the vbulletin editor removes html tags. However before going on that adventure I suggest to try first other options, such as the standard ad locations, some of which show in the first and last post of a thread.

Also, having too many banners on one page may penalize you inadvertedly (Google allows up to 3 on each page).

Toorak Times 11-29-2013 11:36 AM
Giovanni, it is identifying the standard ad locations that has me tricked.

I have successfully fluked putting 2 ads in Position 0 a while ago, gone now, but it just wont sink into my head how the RBS interfaces with the standard ad locations.

I'm trying to write an advertising rate and was thinking of limiting each to 5 rotations but putting this down in a way I can sell is doing my head in mate, its mainly trying to decide what shape ad goes where...

A couple days ago I was trying to debug an error I had in vB (ended up non-related to this mod). But in debugging I disabled this mod through the admincp for a few minutes, found out it was not the issue, reenabled it and since then it has not worked. All occurrences of the position code are now just displaying the code.

Prior to disabling / re-enabling it had been working fine for well over 18 months (as long as I had it installed).

Any idea of what might have occurred and why it seems it is just not re-enabling?

Magic? :)

I never heared about such an issue ... however it can be a (post) cache issue, if the banners are embedded in posts or CMS widgets, forum blocks and so stuff. The cache can be cleaned partially from the Maintenance area in ACP. For the post cache it needs a query.

That's probably it, the code is within a sidebar block - off to figure out a query...

I searched through this Thread but it's o long and so many different posts I thought i'd ask again.

I have my banners set up, they are image banners, no matter how many times I click them the click counter stays at '0'
How can I make it so it will start to count the clicks?
Thanks

is it possible to have more than 10 banner positions?

ok, found it in settings.

GeorgeB85 12-13-2013 03:21 PM
Can anyone tell me if there is an option for this mod to choose how many seconds it displays an ad before changing it?

GeorgeB85 12-13-2013 03:33 PM
Also can anyone tell me, if there is a way that this mod can be used in multiple locations? Meaning, if I want to show one set of ads in one part of the forum (like under the navbar), but show a completely other set of ads above the footer?

No this is not possible with this mod. It is also against the policy of most advertising companies and can get you banned quickly from their programs for attempting to do this.

Yes, this mod allows for 10 different locations (more is possible but not supported). Positions are 0-9. When inserting an ad into the mod you will assign it to one of those positions.

I wasn't referring to like adsense or anything. Just ads that we put up from members paying us to display ads. My apologies as I should have clarified more.

Since it doesn't do that, how often does it change out the ads?

On each new pageload it will randomly display an ad you have assigned to that position. So if you have 10 ads for a certain position, if you reload the page 10 times in that position you'll probably see most of the ads.

How many ads can go into each position?

Hello..

Installed.. hope in the banner list, can sort banner by the expired date, so we know who will be expired soon.

I am trying to install this but not getting any images...

I have uploaded all my banners to a folder called /banners

I set up the Rotating Banner Ad in Advertising and then added the banner to RBS.

The space was made for the banner but nothing shows up and there is nothing to click on.

Can you help?

Running 4.2.2

Thanks

I am having trouble displaying a specific flash banner which works flawlessly in the vbulletin advertising system, but when I place it in the rbs, it displays only as a black background.

Would you mind testing it out to see watch going on? You can find the .swf file I am trying to integrate in the attacments.

Thank you very much, and happy Holidays!

I've tried it and it's black. So all you can do about it, is to paste the code you were using into the "Text" field to get it handled from RBS.

Thank you very much :) That solved the problem.
