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.

Well, how are you trying to do it? You can't use PHP code in any vBulletin templates.

Simple as that.

I figured out how to make my image code but i don't know how to add the code correctly so that i can show more than one ad. I can show a single ad just fine and even have it link to the correct place but i would like to have more than one ad.

my img code is:

<a href="http://www.becka-lynn-design.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://members.theparentpack.org/ads/Banner-BLD.gif" border="2" alt="Becka Lynn Design"></a>

and i have added this into the box:
Left column static advertisement code

in the vB Ad Management (left & right columns)

What am I doing wrong? I would like to have more than one ad and be able to control the order they are in. Can you please help?

Red Tyger, why do you ignore people that have problems with your links showing up.

If people don't believe me that this is like a virus, see my site:
http://www.sportstradercentral.com/index.php

Notice about 10 of Tyger's links? I am going to have to remove this. I am not one to complain about somethign free, but this hacks states "supported" and it is not.

This happens with my sites, but a simple solution to a great hack that has earned me a little more money than normal is to TURN IT OFF then TURN IT BACK ON, which removes all but one of the copyright messages.

[karel1985]

please create a sollution for this please

i dont mind that theire is 1 copyryght extra, but 4 or more?

this problem is only since 3.6.6 i guess

It is supported, I asked a bunch of questions and asked people to try a few things for me a while ago which remained ignored, I then posted an updated file and asked if that fixed the problem which again was ignored.

Only one person has answered my questions and given feedback about the updated file or otherwise made any big effort to help (and I forget your username unfortunately, but thank you I was very grateful!) and they posted their findings and they were ignored as well. It was caused, on their forum, by a scheduled task installed by a backup plugin.

I appreciate people's frustration, I feel it too. But it's not really fair to say I am ignoring people when frankly it generally seems to be the other way around. I'm doing my best.

If you are using a backup plugin and getting the copyright link error, please let me know. If you're not using a backup plugin and can track down which scheduled task is adding links, please let me know.

Bear in mind that it is apparently other modifications affectingthis one causing the problem, not a fault in my modification. So it may well be up to me to fix it, but it's not me causing it. There is nothing virus-like about it at all.

Once again, I do apologise. I understand how unaesthetic it looks. I can only suggest that if you can't wait for a solution you uninstall and look elsewhere.
