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.

ok cool, yeah somedays theres like 1 then it builds up from there up to 6, then sometimes those 6 goes back to one, its magic or something lol,

I just turned off the vb admanagement and reenabled it and it went back to 1

It does appear to be an issue with either a scheduled task or caching. I've noticed that if I go into the settings and change something and then hit save, the multiple copyrights go back to one. Then the next day they go to two, then three, etc. It builds up over time so it has to be somehow related to how things are cached or the scheduled tasks.

I'm currently using version 3.02 and think it is a great hack.
Just a quick question before I update.

Do I just upload the product file and the folder in the /includes section to my server and that is it updated?
The reason I ask is because when looking on my server I couldn't find any of the old files in that location.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Great hack and no problems found so far. I was hoping you might be able to help on a few things. The first... I have this bit of code in my Showthread template. I'd like to add it to this modification instead but it doesn't seam to work for me.

<!-- Start adding Zones -->
<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 121">
<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, array(4, 19))">
<br>
<ad what="zone:4"/>
</if>
</if><br />
<!-- End adding Zones -->

The other item is, what exactly are 'custom adcode blocks' used for and how do they work? Maybe this is what I need to do the above?

Please excuse me if this has already been covered, but I couldnt find anything.

I want to enable another level of ads. Such as more ads for my Guests while leaving my other level of members and then premium members/mods/admins.

Is there a way to do this? Thank you!!!!!

I really can't say I'm afraid, that's a very customised theme.
