Forum Ad Management
 

This modification allows you to add advertisements to your vBulletin forum. It is a module that extends the functionality of vB Ad Management. There is no restriction regarding the content you can use. Adsense, images, flash, plain text and you can use template conditionals and phrases as well. It will put anything, anywhere. Just about.

Features:
- Timed ads.
- Self-refreshing ads.
- Ad rotations.
- Ads using conditionals, phrases and templates.
- Ad sharing.
- Default ad blocks (typical ad block screenshot attached) for all the most popular locations.
- Ads for distributed content (emails and feeds).
- Instant previews before publishing.
- No template edits necessary.
- Compatibility with external pages and software.
- Appearance blending to make your ads look like part of your vBulletin templates.
- Alter hyperlinks to include your referral codes.
- Further details in the manual.

Unique to this module:
- Share your ad space with thread starters and posters.
- Default ad placement at customisable positions with forum listsing, thread listings, posts, announcements, feeds and "Send to a friend" and "Email member" emails as well as global placement for your forum archives.

Required plugins:
vB Ad Management

Other modules:
Blog

That's probably about it. If it's not enough, its modular format means you can extend it to suit yourself with comparative ease (relatively speaking).

vB Ad Management is supported with a link back to my homepage in the footer. This module does not add further branding.

Just wondering is there a reason why you didnt just make vb ad management one whole solution? was it to make it less server intensive for those who didnt need this feature? or something else?

It was totally inflexible in the way it was made. The last version came out well before Jelsoft released Project Tools or the Blog so it was made to be able to do what was already known and nothing more.

It was rewritten so that the core functionality could be expanded into new areas without the original modification having to be updated. In theory, Jelsoft could bring out a CMS tomorrow and it would just be another little module to go with it. In theory.

There are other advantages, but that was the main reason. Necessity really, with vBulletin's new direction.

Bug: Archve Page is not showing.

Thanks and See'a

hello i have try this when i activate in thread list i have this message

What have you put for the two thread repeat settings?

Good day
Thank you for your work
I did the first part of the step, adding the xml file, an instantly the board gave these errors:
Warning: include_once([path]/includes/vbam_functions.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 2

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '[path]/includes/vbam_functions.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in [path]/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 2

Fatal error: Class 'vbam' not found in /home5/stangsof/public_html/forum/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 3
===============
I am not, nor do I pretend to be a coder, I'm simply setting up a vbulletin site, so things that may be obvious to some, are not to me :)
Thanks

It means vbam_functions.php has not been placed in the correct folder, that may mean some other files have not as well. That particular file goes in your forum includes folder.

i am gettign this error wen i go to the sarchives

just installed and get error:

i added ad to the forum list

how do I add a banner or text after 1st post? Thanks

for those who are having the

the main reason that happens is because you having the setting

on (Disabled)

and

on "0"


To make it work you must select a number for both settings, using Disabled & 0 will ironicly disable the forum, thread, or post pages

This is the temp way to make it work untill RedTyger has time to check it out.

I am trying to make it so that different ads will appear per different usersgroups. So if someone is in a certain usergroup - they can have a specific set of ADs for them, and another usergroup has a different set of ads.

I am using this mod and I would like to place an add in the posts. So when I go to "post" and fill in all field (preview shows the ad correctly), the ad doesn't show up in the posts. Am I missing something? Mod is enabled and post also.

Edit: Changing "forum list" for example, actually does have effect. Just posts doesn't work here...

I am also getting the same error?

Any Updates?

Uninstalling this mod...

Just had a helpful person or two offer me access to a vBSEO forum so I would hope an update will be forthcoming shortly. The other fixes have been largely taken care of already.

i have this installed and the footer © is messing up my theme on my site how can i move this © else ware preferable "on top of the footer image... instead of under it which file contains this ©

Just copy the text and link and put them wherever you want. If you've added it manually it shouldn't add it automatically.

well for some reason is did add its automatically cause i know i didnt place it there and im the only one workig on the site lol im not talkig about it being in a file "this is disoplayed on my footer "Ad Management plugin by RedTyger" take a look www.nuke-design.net i wana move that some where elese which file is that in

It's not in a file, it only adds a copyright if one doesn't already exist. So all you have to do is edit the copyright notice (must be exactly the same text) into your templates wheres you want it to go and it will stop being put in the footer automatically.

hmm is there another option like maybe remove that line of cocde that tell it to"add it to the footer is one dosent exist" i DO have the copyrights in but they are in image format rather then text format in which thats what i want to do with this ? just add it to an image instead

so is there a way to like i duno comment out the line that tells your script to put something in the footer if nothing is present i mean if not you should cuz there are people out there that do plan on using branding free version's of VB which i do plan on purchasing in the near future


if there isnt a way i might just have to uninstall this mod (as id rather not the mod is great) but if i have to i will x(


i have put that exact text onto the footer as u can see www.nuke-design.net but the one on the very bottom is still present

Actually I was wrong, forgot how I did it. Sorry! What it actually requires is a link to http://redtyger.co.uk (no www.!). So if you want to integrate it into your copyright image somehow, as long as it links back it'll work and is fine with me.

Edit: There's currently no unbranded version.

rgr that thanks alot RT thats works perfectly

posted on wrong one..need to post on vb ad management

Is a problem being using postbit_legacy? because i've an ad in Forum Ad Management>Posts Added, all is enabled, and nothing show's up :S

edit: any chance to get an ad into the post, at the start, on the right corner? like when havin vbulletin with Adsense enabled, i just dont like how vbulletin handle it, so will be great have it with this mod

Yeah it looks like the last update killed most of the postbit legacy hooks. Only 2 or 3 currently work now.

Ok, i'm new to all of this stuff. I'm basically a 1st grader when it comes to this stuff, but trying to learn. A few questions, is this the program used to put small banners in forum categories like on this site http://www.rzrforum.net down where his sponsor/vendors are? Also, I have installed the program and those small banner's in the forum categories is what I would like to do on my site. I've looked around in the program and it's a bit over my head, so I need a crash coarse...haha. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it! I want to learn, but i've been scratching my head here.

sub_ubi thx, wont you have the old version to upload? it will be great.

So its not supported so i guess i wont be using it unless it is so its easier to get help and updates

Please I am try to disable ads in spesific forum ( ALL ads) I am going from Forums - > Global Settings - > Do NOT enable advertisements for forum IDs: and I put the id that I want and dont work , sharing ads still displayed
Also sponsors dont displayed ??? the bar with sponsors title appears but not the sponsors
any idea please

I'm sorry, I've been unable to reproduce any of the issues you have reported.

The template hook issue was a bug in the main vB Ad Management plugin and has been fixed in the latest version.

maybe im just an idiot i dunno but whats the difference between the two hacks? i mean u got one vb ad managemewnt, that is set to control vb, and then a forum ad management,

well isnt vb ur forum? see thats where im lost

I have this hack installed on our forums (along with the main hack - which works great btw)...but I can't seem to get any of the ads to show up IN the threads for some reason?

I have Enable posts advertisements set to yes. I have Adcode entered. I have tried the following hook locations: $ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_start] & $ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig] & even $template_hook[postbit_messagearea_start].

I've tried setting Enable "show posts" search advertisements? to both Yes & No, as well as setting Blend postbit advertisement template? to both Yes & No.

Any ideas?

Just a friendly bump for some friendly help on my issue above.

:)

Try a vbam_hook, there were some issues at one point with vBulletin's ad location hooks conflicting with other content that tried to use the same hook.
