vB Ad Management 4 Details »» | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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. Quote:

Thanks for that. Phrases are completely separate in the next version, so you can distribute translation files on your own website or wherever you want.

Hey RedTyger! I have seen other people asking for this throughout this site, but no one has been answered or no one knows an answer.
I have created my custom field that will allow the user to insert just their Google Id. I have set up the usergroups that I want to have access to it in vB Ad control panel. However, what I really need to do is set that custom field to only be accessable by certain usergroups. I know that you can disable the ad sharing through the admin cp, but the custom field will still be displayed while nonfunctional... thus confusing members who see it and don't why it isn't working for them. I am thinking there would be some way to set up some sort of conditional statement to make that custom field viewable by certain usergroups, but I don't know how to write that stuff or where to put it. Any ideas? Also, I used your instructions to create a new custom block (displayed with the header/footer admin section) and it worked, but one small issue. Everything is functional with this new block, but there is no text showing up telling you what you are looking at in the admin area. The text areas and checkboxes are there, but no labels or descriptions. Did I miss something? Thanks! |

Hmm... I hate to say this, and maybe I am just missing something, but I think part of the description of this mod is a little misleading. You explain how ad sharing can be enabled/disabled per usergroup, but I think the wording is confusing. The way I read it, I assumed this meant that by disabling certain usergroups, you were preventing that group from inserting their own ad code. However, what actually happens when you enter a usergroup to be disabled, it completely turns off the option for that group to view the shared ads. This is a big problem for me and for others, I am sure.
I want ALL usergroups to be able to view the shared ads at all times. But, I want to only allow my "Ad Sharing" usergroup to enter and display their ad code. So if I try to enter only my "Ad Sharing" group in the "enable ad sharing" section of the cp, then only that group is able to view the shared ads. It blocks every other group from viewing the shared ads. So, then I ad the other groups to the "enable ad sharing" section of the cp and now they can all see the ads, but also anyone will be able to insert their own ad code which is a whole new problem. This is what's happening.... Scenario 1: IF ONLY "Ad Sharing" usergroup enabled = all access (viewing and inserting code) THEN All other usergroups disabled = cannot insert code OR VIEW (need to be able to view) Scenario 2: IF ALL usergroups enabled = all access (viewing AND inserting code) So this is the desired result which I can't seem to get... "Ad Sharing" usergroup enabled = all access (viewing and inserting code) All other usergroups = only access to viewing (no option to insert code) I hope I explained that ok. Forgive me if I just completely missed something that would eliminate this problem. This is why I believe it would be a really good solution to figure out how to make the custom user fields viewable only by set usergroups. |

I'd suggest just explaining in the custom field description. Even if conditionals were used, inevitably someone will ask on the forum about it and much the same explanation will have to be put forward anyway for everyone else. It's a comparatively sizable job for a very small change, not something I want to do I'm afraid. Quote:
Oops, it's been missing from the instructions all this time and nobody ever said! Sorry. In vb_ad_management_314.xml FIND: Code:

Also, I just made the changes to vb_ad_management_314.xml
and ran the import with the "Allow Overwrite" set to yes, but I am not seeing any changes to the custom block. Do I need to completely reinstall everything for this to work or should just importing do the trick? |

The next version does not require editing the code to add new adcode blocks, so I'd be obliged if you could wait for the easier solution please! |
