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.
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.
Quote:
* 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 in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

I am one of the admins on www.sonomacountymom.com. This forum has a custom background, and we have modified some colors. We used to have a custom skin but sacrificed it to get the left column ads to show, and they did not. So far we have input the code for our ads in the vB Ad Management under left & right columns. No changes were made to any templates at this point. Please advise us how to proceed to get these ads up and running on the site! Thanks in advance!

I am trying to use conditionals in Vb Ad Manager 4 and they don't seem to work at all. Specifically I'm trying to use them for the header and footer. Is $forum not the correct variable? I have tried several others, including $forumid, and $foruminfo[forumid], all with absolutely no success. I have tried it on two boards. One VB 3.7 and one 3.6.8. I essentially copied the examples from the manual page and changed the forum id but still with no success.
Do conditionals work for anybody? Or are they completely broken. I saw several complaints about them not working throughout the thread, but never saw a response.
If anybody could shed some light on this, I'd really appreciate it.
It appears that conditionals can be made to work for forum ids by using $GLOBALS[forumid] instead of $forum (per the instructions) or $forumid (which, oddly enough, works if you have it in your template header).
