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.

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-5167785604621376";
//Reklama, gł?wna - lewy g?rny r?g
google_ad_slot = "5633599653";

google_ad_height = 60;
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"

Do you have the advertisiment turned on for the section you are inserting the adsense code on? Also a URL would help us help you out.

Yes.

Does anyone else have a problem with postbit ads? That no matter what settings I use they appear only on the first page - or is it just me?

However, I don't believe that kind of inclusion is rendered by the PHP Parser, so it appears blank. In fact, a search on "php include" dug up this tidbit from RedTyger:

Ok, figured out how to do it... Here is how I handle it. First in the ad management put something like this in the adcode..

<iframe src ="http://www.myurl.com/ad_banners.php" width="500" frameborder="0" height="85" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe>

Then create a file called ad_banners.php

Inside, I have created my own ad randomizer, but this randomizer will handle the PHP from another site as I needed...

<?php
  $affiliate = rand(1,2);

  switch ($affiliate)
  {

case 1: 

  $ad = '<a href="http://www.ad1.com" target="_PARANT"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/banner3.gif" alt="http://www.ad1.com" border="0"></a>';

  break;

  case 2:

   function get_include_contents($filename) {
          ob_start();
          include $filename;
          $contents = ob_get_contents();
          ob_end_clean();
          return $contents;
   }

   $ad = get_include_contents('http://ad.com/misc/adserver/ad.php');
  break;  
  }

//Display ad

echo('
  <html>
  <head>
  <style type="text/css">
  html,
  body {
  background-color: transparent;
  }
  </style>
  </head> <center>' . 
  "$ad" . 
  ' </center></html>
  ');

?>

Case 1 shows a regular "image" banner and case 2 shows how to handle one that is a PHP file on another site...

Hope that helps someone in the future...

Is there a way to limit access to the modification? Say you have to set a specific userid that can control the mod, because my other admin's keep changing it to their own adcode lol

Care to share?

I have this problem and would like to rid myself of it.

Also, how can you center an ad with auto-insertion? Top and bottom seem to be the only two functions that work.

Thanks
