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 can't really get it work with the Ad Sharing on POSTBIT. NOTE: This will work on HEADER
Here's what I did:
1. Install V2.1 hack.
2. Make template edit on POSTBIT template.
3. Put my ad code on the VP Options.
4. Tested and it works - NO PROBLEM at all.
Now, when I try Ad Sharing, problems start to show.
These are my steps.
1. Uplaod the V3.1 XML file, thus overwriting the V2.1
2. Make Profile field, named field6.
3. Go to Ad Sharing Option, enter field6 on the Field ID, put my default ad code and enter 90% (really with % sign) for the thread starter.
4. Go to Post, PM and Announcement Option and replace the Static code with #shared#.
Example:
Before (V2.1): <a href="http://mydomain.com">Click This Test Link</a>
With Ad Sharing (Change): <a href="#shared#">Click This Test Link</a>
5. Testing by refreshing the POST, PROBLEMS HERE........... After first post, it only displays the "Sponsred Links" and no ad shown.
Display advertisements in ForumIDs:
Enter the IDs of the forums in which you want to display the advertisements, separated by your delimiter. (i.e. 1|2|3)
If you only want to exclude forums instead of including them, leave this blank to display the advertisement in every forum except those listed below, if any.
This setting does not apply to the header or footer or side columns.
I have this set to one forum number, since all I do is have in line post ads in one forum (forum 9). It looks like this setting is being applied to the header and footer, since the header and footer ads are on for forum 9, the index, and all "other" pages (like calendar and search and so on) but are disabled on all other forum indexes and thread view pages.
I am using custom leftcolumn code for my board.
How can I add $leftcolumn_advertisement to left_column (my left column template) instead of the header template?

It sounds like I forgot to update the phrase, it didn't seem consistent to not have control over all the advertisements in the same way, so header and footer now use the same rules as all the other ads.
If you want the header & footer to display everywhere but other ads to only apply to one forum, set all ads to display in every forum then alter the template of the ad you only want to apply to forum 9 and surround the entire template with:
Code:
<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid] == 9">
CONTENTS OF TEMPLATE
</if>

Kind regards

I would suggest that if you're not using either the header or footer ads, you paste $header/footer_advertisement into your custom left column template, since both header and footer ads will work anywhere on a page.
Alternatively if this modification fulfils your needs you could simply remove the left column plugin you have now and use this one instead.
