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.

Is there any way to force users to use Adsense ads? I don't want them having free reign over what ad code they put in there because they could post malicious code or porn advertisements.

Thanks.

Don't share the entire advertisement, share a small part of it. Leave the "enable HTML" turned off. Use the custom field regex (default vBulletin feature when creating a custom profile field) to restrict what can be entered into the profile field box.

When making the template edits, change $x_advertisement to $GLOBALS[x_advertisement].

Hi again RedTyger. Thanks for answering my last question.

I have one more thing to ask - is it possible to specify the forums within which ad sharing is turned on? I only want to enable it for a few forums.

Thanks.

[RedTyger]

Yes, you can specify forums in which it is enabled or forums in which it is disabled.

small patch required when you do have ads displayed in the search, like new posts and today posts(not official, search some page ago to know how):

in threadbit_advertisement

FIND

PHP Code:

    <if condition="$show['inlinemod']">
        <td class="alt1Active">
            &nbsp;
        </td>
    </if> 


ADD BEFORE

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['forumlink']">
<td class="alt1"></td>
</if> 


this fixes the <td> taking the background color of tborder instead of alt1 on the advertisement <tr> row
