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.

I'm not sure when these stopped displaying - it may have been with the installation of 3.6.7 or PL1, or of course it may be the result of another add-on I suppose.

Is anyone else having this problem? It's odd that whatever it is doesn't affect the header and footer ads. That makes me wonder if it's not the result of some of the hook changes with 3.67 or competition with another add-on for the same hooks.

Suggestions?

Resolved.

The problem was almost embarrasingly simple. When I upgraded to vBulletin 3.6.7 (ant then PL1), I had to revert several templates. I put back the tags for header and footer and forgot to do the same for postbit.

＊I do want the ad to be enveloped by a box tho just not the one above it.

Edit your postbit_advertisement template and delete this part:

<tr>
	<td class="thead" style="line-height:1.5em;">
		<if condition="$GLOBALS[removeads] != ''">
			<div>
				$GLOBALS[removeads]
			</div>
		</if>
		$vboptions[adintegrate_adtitle]
	</td>
</tr>

If that's now what you're after then it's a case of editing the template as you need.

We've all done it. Template edits will hopefully not be needed in the next version.

Hello, is there anyway I can get my forum to resize to peoples resolutions with vB management in place? I have 1024x768 resolution and 1/4 of my page is missing to the right and I have to scroll hard to the right to see it all. There is another forum though with the same set up as mine and everything adjusts perfectly over there. Please let me know how I can fix this problem, thank you.

I'm stumped for now, but I'll look into it when I get round to it.

The problem is either with your style, which uses a fixed width which means it will not adjust to larger or smaller sized screens (like the difference between liquid and fixed styles on vBulletin.com) or you have chosen adverts that are too big for your screen in which case you must choose adverts that fit. It's not really an ad management problem.
