Advertisement System V2.6 Aka Ad Management
 

Many forums are using the Ad management system, however the coder has stopped supporting the script. Therefore I have decided to release this modification. I will give support to those who need it and continue to make updates to the system.

====>> Live Demo
The Advertisement System was designed with the intent that anyone with any level of experience could use the system. It is easy to install and once installed, the templates are easy to use on a site. The advertisement system has several features that sites will enjoy such as it can be used on versions 3.6.x as well as 3.7.x. The ads can be placed in the following areas: header , footer , below whats going on, below the navbar , postbit , postbit legacy, pms, announcement, archive, left & right column in forum home , left column in member info and full page , threadbit , as well as forumbit. Also, the ability to not display advertisement on certain pages such as login, registration & the search page. This system allows you to personalize the system to better suit their needs such as setting permissions like ads after first post on a page, ads after last post on a page, ads after X post on a page, and ads every X posts on a thread. You may also display ads by forum ID, as well as customize the full page for your site. The system comes with a feature for auto refresh ads as well as Google analytics. Besides the features,there is constant support given to those who need it and of course, updates are made to the system in order to better serve the sites using the system.

wow, it seems an excellent job Branden ... :)

just marked ;)

thanks for it, but is this cmpatible with old system or not ?

This looks amazing! Just what I needed. Thanks!

great. been waiting for this. so the rotation of the ads work finally?

thanks

Confusing but thanks... I've been waiting for months for Tyger to come back but he disappeared :eek:

Does it works for 3.6.10?

um...this mod is nothign like the previous mod...trying to figure it out ;/

wait a sec............................................

in the previous ad manager system, you would add ad codes like:

AD CODE 1 |AD CODE 2 | AD CODE 3

and that would rotate the ads on refresh. the only thing not working was the auto refresh option. so with this mod here, to use the auto refresh option, we have to use images only? we cant use a java script code for the ad like a google adsense ad or something? and seperated by | or whatever we define to be the seperators?

Bad news for me if one can't use Google Adsense and the | as a seperator. Can anyone confirm if that ability is gone?

Ya this one is a bit different then vbadmanagement. For vbadmanagement you were able to enter code for example from OpenX into each banner spot in the forums so that way I could have different zones setup in OpenX and track how many clicks each zone was getting and see what ads do better then others. Maybe this coder will add this ability as well?

Hmm, no good for me then as for example in the postbit I rotate:

1) Google Adsense - standard text banner
2) Google Adsense - Links text banner
3) Advertiser 1
3) Advertiser 2
3) Advertiser 3

All via either adsense code or HTML, and if it can't handle that it is no good for me.

I bought GAB and tried using that but it takes too many resources.

Missing Ads for the Archive

this is a fantastic start tho, and looks very promising already.

I thought it would be easy to do and I followed the directions and nothing is showing up any ideas?

???

Anyone understands this ???

Does this mean:

http://*.jpg=http://www.test.de

or

http://*.jpg[1]="http://www.test.de"

or

http://*.jpg[1]="http://www.test.de1"

??

And by the Way - if you give the Option for a Postbit Rotation - where is the Option after which Post this has to happen?
I cant see anything in Postbits - but under Navbar and Footer it works.

BTW - rename "GoogleAdSense" Option to "Activate Script or other Banners". I am using Amazon and it works.

And last but not least - missing the Full Page Advertisement after X Post very hardly. :(

Indeed be nice to setup Zones again using OpenX :)
Good to see someone taking the initiative though to bring back, & support a well needed and used plugin.

I just tried the banner rotation on one of my sites and I love it in 3.7 !

I am going to mess with the postbit stuff next.

Awesome hack so far though!! Thanks!

ok here is a exp if you want add a rotation for vb.org , vb.com & google.com
vb.org : website = http://www.vbulletin.org banner=https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/cstyle/blue/vblogo.gif
vb.com : website= http://www.vbulletin.com banner=http://files.vbulletin.com/images/logos/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif
google : website=http://www.google.com banner=http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif

the rotation code is :
for the option after which post i am gotta add it to v1.1 (( this week end ))
can you see them in default style ?
oh thank you that s a great news . i will rename the option this week end (( in version 1.1 ))
dont worry i am gotta add this options to next version 1.1 should be ready saturday or sunday :
Random Activate Script : google adsense , amazon ....
full page
ads after x post in postbit
auto refresh .

No sorry.

And all i am missing now is the Option to show Ads in Archive. ;)

I got this installed and I'm having some problems. No changes are needed to templates correct? The only place I got this to work was in the footer start. Any tips?

http://forum.iphonegeek.mobi/general-dicsussion/

Here is what I have for my rotation code:

//Edit Then Copy&Paste This Code
myimages[1]="http://www.iphonegeek.com/images/banners/728_90_1.gif"
myimages[2]=http://www.iphonegeek.com/images/banners/728_90_2.gif"
//specify corresponding links below for your banners
var imagelinks=new Array()
imagelinks[1]="http://www.iphonegeek.com"
imagelinks[2]="http://www.iphonegeek.com"

Good start.
Can it be setup so that it has a Google Adsense Revenue sharing option?

Can you include this in your next release?
Thanks.

maybe in next version because tonight or tomorrow i am gotta post a new update with :

* Permission / usergroups& userid for each section{header , footer , postbit ,archive }
* Full page
* Rotation for Other Banners like adsense , amazon .....
* Ads after x post
* SlideShow For Banners (where you can control the speed & banner size ))
* Ads In Archive
you dont have to edit the templates try this :
first here is the ads locations :
styles manager / Ad Location Templates
ad_footer_end = above vbulletin copyrith
ad_footer_start = below what s going on
ad_forumdisplay_afterthreads= forumdisplay
ad_header_end = header betwen logo & navbar
ad_navbar_below = below navbar

if you cant see the ads in any of this places just revert the template exemple if you cant see the ads in header , footer end , footer start , above navbar ...then revert there templates

if you want center the ads in header, below nabar & footer :
for header open your header and center :
Footer center :
Below Navbar Center :

I hope you mean

*Full page after x post ;)

Congrats for your decision and work, the other hack is almost dead and I really like this... but I will stay in 3.6.10 for a while, can you confirm me if it works with it?

Thanks for your hard work,, I will download it as soon as you post the 1.1 version....

Postbit ads do not show up for me with the legacy verticle style postbit, only the newer horizontal style one. Any chance it could be fixed to work with both?

If still taking request would be nice to be upload the banners via the panel like the banner rotator..Also if could add options to use it with Vbadvanced..Like put seperate ads on the homepage ...But this is very nicely done...Thanks so much for the mod :)

Anything new about the Update?

05/15/2008 Version 1.1
*******************
* Banners & Ads In post_legacy
* Banner After x post
* Full Page
* and the great option is the slideshow : you can control the speed , pause time , force size
Live Demo for slideshow and full page Click Here

Argh - more Failures then in 1.0:

1. You did not renamed "Google Adsense" to Ad-Script?s
2. Still the same Terrible format of own Codes
3. Useless Full-Page because after X Posts is missing

As long as you did not implement a useful Codedesign i will uninstall. :down:

Take the Codedesign from vBAdManagement or something else useful forget it.
Or give us a useful Instruction.

What the Hell means "_new" and did we need these " Signs?

What?s the problem to make it work like this simple Design:

and so on ....

And who needs Full-Page Feature if you forget the Full-Feature after X Posts????

I remembered you 4 Times in our PM Discussion.

Sorry Guy - this release is not what you have told me and other to be released.

I know this Mod will keep growing and growing, but does it work for 3.6x

For 3.6 use vBAdManagement 4.

hi redlabour;
first dont forgot we talking about v1.1 so still more updates i cant get everything done in 2 days !
for the codes i change them to a easy one and it works for both ads regular banners and other like adsense amazon ..... but i am still testing stuff i wont relase a beta version and maybe can damage your website i want make sure first everything it s ok before i give to poeple .


for "_new" it s target=_blank to open all ads in a new window and poeple cant leave your website so what the prb with that you can change it to target=_blank !

for the postbit i think you said you want control the placement of ads in postbit and postbit_legacy and i did there is a option in admincp to show ads after x post ! and believe me i was working yesterday till 3h00 am to do it for you .

for the install i swear i dont care i want just share this mod with poeple because there is no moread managemnt for vb3.7
i think so . if not you have to add the codes in your templates

Thanks - but we talked about the 'after X' Posts Feature for Postbit and the Full-Page Ads.

;)

Example - User hits 50 Links at the Forum he will see the Full-Page Ad with a Countdown to redirect him to the last Link he want to.

And You wrote b4 in your futures for 1.1 mod that you'll add features like forum id, usergroup id to show ads only to them.

Its not there :(

When posting replies, please remember that modifications are provided free of charge, and written in a coders free/spare time. Thank you.

So is the adsense script handling option now working?

Hey Guys,
Forgive me for being a complete n00b, but I am new to this whole vBulletin board thing. I understand PHP OK, and HTML/CSS very good so I think I can catch up pretty quick and will hopefully be contributing back soon enough.

Anyway, I have my board setup (I turned on plugins) and would like to install this plugin/product (which is it?). I uploaded ads.php into my forum root (mydomian.com/forums/) and imported product-advertisement_.xml through the product manager. If that's the correct thing to do, now what?

I can't seem to find the advertisement admin panel as shown in the screenshots so I think I may have done something wrong. Can I even get to that admin panel through my admincp? Or is a different thing altogether. Like I said, I'm a complete n00b, sorry and thanks.
