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.

Im using Google Adsense

[RedTyger]

Try something like a simple image instead, does that show up?

[giorgioarmani]

No images either....

This is what Ive got:

Static advertisement code (put Google Adsense code here)

Ooops.. I cant believe it.. I just got to:

Display advertisements with posts?
Choose Yes to have advertisements display with posts.

And realised it was on no :surprised:

Sorry to bother you for nothing, RedTyger

Question for a possible future release:
Would it be possible to make it so you could specify ads per group? For example, I would want my unregistered users to see header/footer and posbit ads, and just regular users see the header ads.

This is a great mod, thanks for all the work!

That's the reason all the ads are templated, so people can make further customisations if they need to. It was made with that in mind.

Surround the contents of the templates you want to alter with a conditional. Put this at the top of each template you want to alter:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3)">

And this at the bottom:

</if>

Replace 1,2,3 with the Usergroup IDs of the ones you want to see the advert, or put an ! between the " and is_member_of to change it to the usergroups you don't want to see the advert.
