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.

This may be your problem.

thanks red for the help...

What I get is if i set an ad to show after the 1st post, it then reshows the ad every 17 posts even though I have it set to not show again after the 1st post.

I'm still getting a white screen when trying to access any of the options on the ad mgt menu.

I've disabled the only hack I have "Lv vB Event Forums", but still no luck.

I've unloaded 4.01 and reloaded, same thing happens. I've removed the old code from my templates, but still no luck.

Has anybody else been able to overcome a white menu screen?

Could you PM me an AdminCP login please, preferably an FTP login as well and I'll have a look.

Ok I am new to VBulletin and this ad management software.. I have everything uploaded and I have created a banner that I would like as my add.

I want to make it show up in my header. I don't understand how to create and adblock code. I also dont know how to name it so I can edit the $x_advertisement. i know how to edit the templates but I just don't know how to name the block and all that ??

I am so sorry if this is a newb question. I am just starting on this stuff. so please be patient. I have read and reread the manual and I don't understand.. Thank you fo your help.

Again sorry for the lame question

[Sevo]

ok, i figured I would just do the simple code <img src="one.jpg" /> and entered my banners location.. now how do I know what to call it or what do I call X in $x_advertisement

I think I am figuring it out but i am slow

[Sevo]

ok never mind.. got it figured out.. I am sorry I am a little slow on the uptake.. it does it all automatically

great mod thank you
