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.

Didn't you get the update email? I've just fixed it, redownload the zip.

TNX!

it's all ok!

Can we have an option to have headers and footers everywhere, but control all the remaining ads using the global settings? Just like in 2.1...? Please!

[RedTyger]

Sorry, that will not happen. It makes much more sense this way and it's easy to use template conditionals to limit any ads manually.

RedTyger, is there an update regarding the problem of Ad-Sahring on Postbit (no ads shown)?

Thanks, great hack

There is a changelog at the bottom of the first post, that bug was fixed in v3.02. Are my updates not sending or something.

Ok, np. While I know how to use conditionals on banners, did you work out the conditional for the "poster in thread view" like we discussed before? Maybe putting this conditional in the readme would be cool too - I'm sure there are others who would like to control which forums ads appear in but would like headers and footers everywhere.

According to this post (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...45&postcount=3) I guessed right, it is $thread[forumid]. It's not really possible to list conditionals properly, as there's essentially an unlimited number of potential conditions. Anything in the format of if this equals that will work.
