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

This may be asking alot, but is there any way you could make an addon that would allow the Admin to specify certain banners based on a user's location? For example, I have some adverts who I can only display for US traffic, and for International traffic I woudl want a different banner displayed.

Thanks.

So after reading all 196 posts to this, I have not seen or maybe I have over looked that post that talked about fixing the problem of the ad banners not rotating...Mine are not!...The first on the list is the only one that shows...

So here is the question, is there a way to make the banners rotate and have then rotate from one to the other every so many seconds?

Or does the hack only let one banner show until you refreash the screen, which I have done and nothing has changed...I would love to be able to use this hack, but if it does not work, why use it?

Same here, the banners are only rotating when you refresh the screen.
Also one more thing. Can yoy make it in any way to record the clicks? Thats what the advertisers want...to know how many clicks their banner had.

Thanx in advance

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