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 dont get the answer :

i use right column ads

but in ibproarcade pages there is no right column ads....




there is someone write this, but i still dont get it how to do that

Just a heads up to people who want their ads to work with other products like IBProArcade and such to use $GLOBALS[] in their style templates like


$GLOBALS[footer_advertisement]

Bummer.

If you don't tell me what's wrong, I can't tell you what to do. And please click install if you're using the modification.

Wherever the instructions tell you to put something in the template, if you want it to work outside vBulletin you must use the GLOBALS version but I still can't guarantee it will work.

i.e. $header_advertisement becomes $GLOBALS['header_advertisement']
i.e. $postbit_advertisement becomes $GLOBALS['postbit_advertisement']

etc.

Ok, this is what calls the advertisement "$postbit1_adcode"

and I must place this code whereever I want my custom code to appear, correct?


I need to add a random custom advert to the postbit, how can I go about doing this?

thanks in advance.

Custom advertisements in postbit would be more tricky...unless you want ads to appear it two separate locations within one post it should not be necessary to have a custom postbit adcode section. What exactly do you want to do?

[bowdeni]

Simple question: Can I configure the product so it displays adverts to guests only? If not, can anyone recommend me an alternative mod? Thanks in advance, Ian

[RedTyger]

Yep. Enter 1 in the Usergroups box under General Settings.

RedTyger: can this protect my google adsense on invalid clicks. Should someone wants to down my adsense, can it able to hide the adsense and show another type of ads? Then, it can ban the user if the user is registered and hide the ads if the user is a guest.

If you are putting the $post[field17] code in the admincp it will not work, as variables will not be parsed into their values outside the postbit template. If that's your entire code then there's no reason why you shouldn't just do it as a template edit.

<if condition="$post[field17] != '' AND $post[userid] == $thread[postuserid]">

<a href="http://$post[field17].imarichkid.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="images/misc/uwp.gif" border="0" alt="$1000.00 A Day!"></a>

No click-tracking is included, as long as Google Analytics is free I don't see much point. You can change anyone you don't want to see advertisements to a usergroup which can't see advertisements, but you can't ban individual advertisements from being displayed. This should be possible in the next version.

Don't think it does...short of javascript encryption I don't see how it's possible and even then it's probably breakable.

No, there's no way of doing that.

[RedTyger]

Ah. You mean more than one link inside that conditional? The $post field will not be recognised outside the postbit template. This is really beyond what the modification can do.
