Advert Management · **Released**: 05-25-2002

This is a script to allow you to manage the adverts on your forums, you can have any sort of advert you can imagine there is no actual limit with this hack to what it can be, javascript, flash, image, text and images.

You add adverts to a category or a forum or the whole board. If the category has child forums they will inherit the adverts as well as their own adverts if they have any.
Adverts can have a set exposure such as 10,000 views and once it has reached that it will stop.

It fills a variable called $advert which you just place in any template, such as the header, you can also use variables and replacements within the adverts, such as $bbuserinfo[userid] for the persons userid in a link within an advert.

Updated June 9th at 19:44 GMT

Added date limits and options for unlimited exposures.
To upgrade from an older version, reapply code in global.php, upload ads.php and run this sql query to alter the ads table you made.

[sql]ALTER TABLE `ads` ADD `time` INT(10) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;[/sql]

[sql]ALTER TABLE `ads` ADD `wholeforum` SMALLINT(1) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;[/sql]
If you already run that query though are still experiencing problems with the time always being January 1st run

[sql]ALTER TABLE `ads` CHANGE `time` `time` INT(10) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL[/sql]

New features include showing the advert on the entire forum by using a radio button, some highlighting in the admin panel, italic name indicates the time period has ended and a bold name means the advert has met its quota for exposures.

You must chance RAND() to RAND(NOW()) if you have mysql 3.23.52 or above

Hey PPN, just wanted to let you know, i found a bug.

i have mine set to unlimited exposures...but the exposure count for all adverts only went to 32767 for Houston, Austin, and Dallas, and will not go any higher....so the counter has a bug somewhere....

I am having this problem too. Can you send me the fix? Just PM me to let me know how you would like to send the info, if you don't mind.

Thanks!

Anyone who uses phpadsnew....This hack works great out of the box, provided you use the header.

Awesome hack! Saved the day!

Hey PPN,

I love this hack, it works great.

I only have one question though. I want to use this to put banner ads on my non-vB pages. How would I be able to do that?

Thanks for the great hack!

Woks great !

I would also like ot know if it's possible to ad the banner to the threads in that particular forum as well. What do you guys think?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
