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.

Hello,

Some of our registered users would like to opt-in to ads, since we only show them to unregistered users.

So, we created a $bbuserinfo['field13'] in the adminCP with values "On" and "Off" and are trying to add the conditional to the right place in the code.

I searched the templates and this pointed me to the code:

/var/www/includes/vb_ad_management/global_start.php

and the variable $do_ads;

So, I edited global_start.php by adding this conditional:

.... || ($bbuserinfo['field13'] == 'On')

but this does not seem to work.

Any ideas?

PS: Installed on vB 3.7.1+

Is there any way to only display the left ads on the forums and not my CMPS page?

I read through part of this forum but then ran out of time. I want to know if this mod works on the vB blogs....and if it does can you turn it off on the rest of the forum?

Red,

I was wondering if I granted you a nice donation if you could update this mod to be able to be turned off on some parts of the forum and on, on other parts of the forum. I am a real estate agent and have a real estate forum that I would like to do ad revenue sharing with the members who actually keep the forum alive but do not want the ads on certain parts of the forum. I also want people to get 100% of the ad revenue from their vB blogs.

Please let me know what we can do.

Thanks,

James

Sussed it, the problem is that it will not insert anything, the copywrite logo did not appear so manually inserted and the site reappeared. The problem now is that no ads appear I assume the insertions to the templactes is not working. Any ideas how to correct this?
