Major Additions - vB Ad Management 4

vB Ad Management 4

Check the FAQ before requesting support!

What does it do?

Features include global settings, advertisements allowing template conditionals, ad sharing and ad revenue sharing, timed advertisements, preset popular ad locations and functions such as sponsors, additional custom ad locations, random and static advertisements and its all very easy to use. You can use it for ordinary ads like adsense, banner rotations, or any content at all as well as using it to manage ads outside your forum too.

You can read in more detail about these and other features in the manual, which also contains some helpful notes and instructions, as well as the installation and upgrade instructions



If you are using autoinsertion and were using vB Ad Management before version 4.00, you will need to remove your old template edits or advertisements will appear multiple times. Just reverse the old instructions below.

* Find <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu --> and paste $postbit_advertisement above it in your postbit & postbit_legacy templates.
* Paste $forumbit_advertisement at the bottom of your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates.
* Paste $threadbit_advertisement at the bottom of your threadbit template.
* Paste $footer_advertisement at the top of your footer template.
* Find $spacer_close in your footer template and below it paste $rightcolumn_advertisement.
* Find &nbsp; in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

* Find <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu --> and paste $postbit_advertisement above it in your postbit & postbit_legacy templates.

I cannot find that bit, in the template I am using, its in the default one, only but I am using a customized one at the moment, can I just add what is required somewhere near where it needs to be ? Also I will assume the periods at the end are not required ?

Any suggestions

Thanks, I hope to get this working....

edit: I redid the install, and put all the mods in as per instructions, including the one I don't see in other templates, on in the default, so all is good I went to c panel and ticked off yes but see nothing on the main page, what am I still missing now - what code do I need for advertising to be put in

I will assume since the one line I cannot find to change, will prevent me from making this work as well

sorry this is now two questions

Can i remove the copyright? I like the mod but it's not worth having another copyright at the bottom of my forum. I pmed the coder asking if I can donate to remove the copyright with no resonse. Please answer.

[RedTyger]

Sorry, I don't know what happened to my email notification.

There is currently no brand-free option available.

[budga]

I see. Not even if I paid to take it off? If not then could you please tell me how to uninstall it?

[RedTyger]

Yes, you just got to your Product Manager and choose "Uninstall" from the drop-down menu for that modification. For what you need though, you could do without an ad manager. Just use this code in your postbit:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3)" AND $post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1")
You adcode here
</if>

Change 1,2,3 to the IDs of the usergroups you want ads to display to.

[budga]

I just don't see what the big deal is. Even vbulletin allows you to remove the copyright if you pay them.

[budga]

Fine i'll pay someone else to remove it. Thanks for your help

just kidding i won't but i don't like you

[GateKeper]

Any answer possibly to my above question ?

sorry if I am impatient

just trying to get ads going on my site, thought this to be the best one, but, just can't seem to get it going

Thanks for the anticipated assistance.

Since a lot of us have the copyright issue and nobody seems to be reporting back if your fix corrected it or not, I just wanted to say thank you for helping! I just downloaded your mentioned "fix" and will let you know if they copyright issue comes back. It usually adds an extra line every 18-24 hrs so I won't know until tomorrow if it helped or not.

Thanks!
