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.

RedTyger:
Please PM me. I'd like to remove the copyright out of the plugin, well not the copyright really, but the link.

I'll throw you a few bucks. It's a great plugin, but the link does not fit in at all for me, and is totally irrelavent.

Thanks!<3

I'm sorry to be such an idiot but I've got a couple of problems if you've got a second:

1. I got the header working but there's a purple border around it. This isn't on the actual image so I'm not sure why I'm seeing it. Is there something I can do to remove it?

2. I'd REALLY prefer to move that header ad to my Navbar, just to the left of my welcome block. But, honestly, I'm not familiar enough with code to know where, exactly, to put $GLOBALS[$header_advertisement] to make it show there. If someone could tell me exactly where, I'd be grateful.
--- and along those lines, where then, if you have it in your navbar, do you control the content? Is it in the vB Ad Management (Header & Footer) or elsewhere. That bit just isn't clear to me. (I want different ads there than the ads in the footer.)

3. The footer doesn't work at all. It's turned on and I've put a couple of banner codes in, but I can't see anything.
--- The instructions for adding the code for the footer weren't all that specific. It says "at the top" which I assume means, before EVERYTHING else. So my code looks like this:

$footer_advertistment
<br />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
<br />

$spacer_close

Is this correct? If so, where is the ad supposed to be seen? I get NOTHING right now, and it's turned on.


TIA for your help!

1) Add border="0" to your image code.

2) Anywhere in the navbar template.

3) You spelt advertisement wrong in the template edit.

I like this one alot more cause of the many features but throwing that into the mix would make this be amazing cause right now you can limit it to forums per forum id but having different ones based on the thread content would make this nice

one other thing would be to group the templates this way there easy to edit if anyone wants to.

Are you looking to do what RedTyger explained at

hey newbies, how long did it take you to install this? I want to install it but I'm afraid I'll screw it up.

I thought I had read an update was coming, is that right? I should probably wait for that so I can only mess up once.

RedTyger, is there a reason you are not answering me? I've posted a question twice and it keeps getting skipped over. I'm not the only one to have had the issue, either.

1) Easy - looks much better now.

2) Okay - I'll try that later --- but how about this part of my question:
--- and along those lines, where then, if you have it in your navbar, do you control the content? Is it in the vB Ad Management (Header & Footer) "header" part or elsewhere. That bit just isn't clear to me. IOW, is it the same as the header? (I want different ads there than the ads in the footer.) I'm assuming it's the same as the header and you only have one choice, Navbar OR header, but I'd like to confirm this.

3) How totally embarrassing!!! I thought I pasted it in! - It's working beautifully now.


Thanks so much!

It took NO TIME at all to install. Literally one minute. It's all automatic except the template edits.

I only edited the header and footer template so far. I copied the original into a document so if I messed it up I could copy it back. I saved the "edited" and the "unedited" so I've got them if I need them. (and I'm a complete noob with no html knowledge at all)
