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.

Well spotted, thank you. You're right, it's a particularly painful bug. I'm poking around with a couple of other things but I'll release an update ASAP.
How do I add additional places for banners to the vb management panel? is it hard? I've some new places, like http://www.flunkme.com/free_essays.php I would love to have header and side adsense banner placed through management, I hate going through template code to change banner layout.
if its possible could you please briefly explain it?
Hi RedTyger, I know I'm not suppose to PM you, but I'd like the no-branding version which I've sent PP to you. Could you take a look?
I think PMing me for that reason is just fine. Can you make sure you click install so you're aware of updates.

Setting up a header banner:
Install the plugin.
Edit your header template and insert $header_advertisement where you want the ad to appear.
Go to AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > vB Ad Management (header & footer) and enable header advertisements. Put your advertisement code in the static header box.
That's it, you're done. The process is virtually identical for the columns, the correct template edit is in the first post of the thread. Have a look through the Global settings to make sure they're all as you want them and Ad Sharing settings if you want to use that.

Thank you,

It is not possible to have forum-specific settings, sorry.
Hello Red Tyger, I am trying to set up the avatar to display in postbit_legacy but it wont appear with any links that I provide, either http://www.somewhere.com/forum/images/image.jpeg nor absolute links public_html/website/forum/images/image.jpeg
Since your screenshot has no avatar in postbit_legacy, does that mean that avatars cannot be displayed in postbit legacy.. ?
The avatar should work fine in postbit_legacy, it's done the same way for either postbit type. An absolutely URL won't work though. Does the image load just by going directly to http://www.somewhere.com/forum/images/image.jpeg?
thanks for reply Tyger,
Funny thing is that the image does not show up in browser as well. I placed the avatar in a new folder, chmoded the folder and image to 777 but all it shows is a 1x1 image, while I am using a PNG image as avatar..
