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.

I just want to put Advertisements in the Header of my forum..

Anybody willing to help me?

[symptome]

I'm not sure if this was posted before:

I got postbit-ads just for the last post on a page.
But if I click on the name of the user which wrote the last post (just before the ad), the menu doesn't appear. If I disable postbit-ad then I got no problem.
It's always the last post before the ad.
And if I can't click on the user-name ... no profile, no message for the user and more ist available.

Why?

Thanks!

Hi, All:

I am seeing problems reported by users of vB3.7 trying to use this add-on.

I plan to use vB version 3.6.8 only but wonder if there are also unresolved problems/bugs in this add-on for that version.

Thanks for any feedback.

I'm using Vb 3.6.8 and getting some problem when using refresh mode. I'm using 3 different simple jpg links for my header that were supposed to be refreshed every 30 sec but without any reason suddenly the viewer get a blank image. Tried to disable the refresh but same thing happens. When I get my header blank all ads on my forums got blank too like postbits and so on.
I'm also using Vbadvanced CMPS and only in portal page I'm getting and error on IE that says "Image Error on line 1 - member not found".

It's a shame Redtyger has abandoned this mod I wish we could have all those bugs here solved and I wouldn't mind in donating some for it.

I'm using an adblock and just want to display a random banner every 10 seconds...all banners are hosted on my server account.... I tried separating the banner img links using the | delimiter, but it only displays one banner and never rotates...any ideas?

[MnTom]

I am new at this stuff. I read almost every post and tried to search, but i could not find the answer I need. I can't seem to figure out how to have a link associated with an ad so that if a person clicks on the ad it will take them to another page or site. Where is that and how do I do it?

[zeus_r6]

Actually my banners only rotate when changing to a different thread...any idea how to make them randomly cycle without a manual refresh?

[MnTom]

zeus_r6, I saw that! Go to where you put in the ad info and near the top of the page there will be a place that says "XXXXXX advertisement refresh" (XXXXXX) being the place that you have the ad. It is disabled by default, just click on it and pick the timing you want. Hope that helps.
