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.

I'm just to launch vBulletin. I've installed the hacks etc etc and building it up slowly. I even installed vB Ad Management and they feature in the vB options. I have still NO codes because I'm building the skeleton of my forum but I want to launch the forum without editing whilst members are entering. I just want the forum to run smoothly as possible.

1. I need sample codes to test - Example: This is an advert space here banner. ANyone please?

Sure. Try this one:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
auctionads_ad_client = "c6bd923edab11c8f4049";
auctionads_ad_campaign = "52b50cdc0f99bc520f7e5a701ebe1d15";
auctionads_ad_width = "468";
auctionads_ad_height = "60";
auctionads_ad_kw =  "self-help, health, education, mental health";
auctionads_color_border =  "CFF8A3";
auctionads_color_bg =  "FFFFFF";
auctionads_color_heading =  "00A0E2";
auctionads_color_text =  "000000";
auctionads_color_link =  "008000";
auctionads_options =  "n";
--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ads.auctionads.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
<br /><font size="1"><a href="http://www.auctionads.com/refer_c6bd923edab11c8f4049">Ads by AuctionAds</a> </font>
<br /><br /><br />

Yes. You may need to refresh your browser page, of course.

Yes, you do.

1. You upload the files and install the product.

2. Then you set the options for which locations you want to insert banners.

3. Then you add the specified code to get those banners to display where yopu want them to be displayed.

One caveat: I may have been doing something wrong myself but I couldn't get the alternating or random banners to work correctly. It does wotk with a single or "static" banner though.

I know. It was a joke. I think you meant "bear with me", not "bare with me".
