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.

Guys the Mod is working perfectly for me with one exception - Iuse the Aria Sands skin / theme and I'd love to add the additional header and footer graphics to the right hand column advertising block.
Been at it an hour so far with no success - Which template do I need to edit to add the additional theme data in?
Not sure exactly what you're after. You should be able to add $header_advertisement and $footer_advertisment to the right/leftcolumn_advertisment template and the header and footer templates will show up inside the columns.
I have a question regarding this hack.
I will give an example to better understand the thing I need.
I have 30 posts per page in one thread on my forum and I want the last post on every page to be written by a bot (an existing user controlled by me) with some advertising that I want to setup myself. The Ad Text will be the same on all forums and it may include HTML (like AdSense).
Does this hack do the things I need and I wrote abobe?
When using vB Advanced (or any other external provider) you should use $GLOBALS['x_advertisement'] instead of $x_advertisement.
Well I changed the '$rightcolumn_advertisement' in the footer to read '$GLOBALS[rightcolumn_advertisement] instead to see if it would fix the issue and it remained the same, still no top or tail graphics.
I'm temporarily without a test forum and I can see nothing in the backup mod that would cause this, so sorry about the roundabout testing methods. Here's another try at fixing the copyright issue, just download the file and overwrite your existing global_start.php.
This latest version of global_start.php fixed the problem for me.
