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.

If there's no &nbsp; then just put it anywhere you like. That instruction is there as a guide, not an absolute position.

If i just have a jpg and the when you click on it, it goes to there website.

And if i latter do banners?

What would these codes look like?

I do appologise i and very new to this all and very eager to learn

An image that links somewhere looks like this:

<a href="http://www.linktohere.com"><img src="thisisapicture.jpg" alt="describeyourimage" border="0" /></a>

Simple as that.

Well if what Red, just said is true than it should work with 3.6.6 perfectly I'm going to add that last part right now.

UPDATE

The fix posted doesn't solve the multiple copyright problem. Also, I can confirm this mod does work on 3.6.6 BUT the copyright issue also seems to work

[RedTyger]

ARGH.

What scheduled tasks do you have running around the time that the extra copyright link appears? Anything that looks to be a likely trigger?

[newforum]

Cannot find $spacer_close in footer template. I have a VB3.6.6. Please someone help me.

[newforum]

not working properly in 3.6.6. Uninstalled it.

[RedTyger]

Not working properly in what way? The guy above you apparently has it working in 3.6.6 without a problem.

[DementedMindz]

I guess cause they couldn't find $spacer_close it wasn't working correct ???
