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.

In regards to ForumBit advertising, I am having a hard time deciding which areas need modification and which areas do not.

My Scenario:
I have two 88x31 files (VendorA.gif and VendorB.gif)
I want VendorA.gif to show up on the forumbit for ForumID 1,
I want VendorB.gif to show up on the forumbit for ForumID 2.

How do I accomplish this simple task? It seems that if I put the $forumbit_advertisement in the forumbit area, I will see the .gif layed out across EVERY forum (1-20). However, there aren't templates for each forumID, so this must be the only way. I can only assume that I have to work some magic in the AdManagement CP with reagrds to conditionals, calling VendorA.gif only for forumID 1, and VendorB.gif only for forumID 2. However, I am not sure how to do this, as there is only one box in which to place adcode (VendorA.gif and VendorB.gif)

Please note I used the two gif files for ease of reference. I am actually trying to implement this in association with OpenAds, so each advertisement (one per forum) is a large chunk of code.

Thank you for any help. I did search this thread for "forumbit" and read everything that came back (43 posts) without any avail.

I'm having a very odd problem. For some reason, all of a suddent I can't change anything in the "header/navbar" area. I wanted to change my ads, but when I delete the old ads, and pase in my new ad, after I hit save, it goes back to the old one. I tried turning the header off, but when I hit save, it says its saved, but its back on. What happened?

Some forumbit shows the ads with blank rows after it... Any errors somewhere?

But when the mod is enabled (i have only uploaded the english and vb_ad_management xml files), my forum index and all other pages (except admincp..) are just plain white...? Not panicing yet but might when I upload the files and it still does this. On latest version of vb, 3.6.8
