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.

* 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.

i just writen "Testing ad management"

[RedTyger]

In that case there must be a problem with your settings somewhere.

[ahsanrajper]

what settings would be that can create problems or that i have missed or something else?

[Mr.D]

Does this work with Gars?

[RedTyger]

I don't know, but I would have thought so. You may need to use $GLOBALS[header_advertisement] instead of $header_advertisement etc for the template edits.

[ahsanrajper]

i have done template edits as you mentioned but it still did not work! tell me what else should i do? or any thing that you want to know!

[RedTyger]

You could try posting screenshots of your settings I suppose. It's hard to say, there's not a lot that can go wrong really.

I know it's in here somewhere, but I just can't find it. I have the ads showing under the first post in a thread, but I want to show under the first post on each page. Did I manually make a change, or do I have to change the script to do this?

[RedTyger]

It's one of the default options.

"Display advertisement after first post on a page?
Choose Yes to have advertisements display after the first post on every page."

[mclark2112]

I do have that clicked yes, but they still only show up after the first post on the first page. I also have yes for after last post, but they do not show there either... Am I missing a template edit somewhere maybe?
