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.

They have nothing entered into the custom field I created so the star shouldn't be showing up, right? And it seems to only be on random users. Any ideas? Thanks!

To both of you, the code is so different - it's almost entirely rewritten - that I'm not going to fix bugs until the Beta of the next version is out. I apologise, but I'm finding myself taking time to remember how it used to work and it won't be around for much longer, it's not very productive for me.

A small preview of a new Sponsors section, which I've seen used on a lot of forums before on the index page and thought would be a helpful addition.

Hi,

Another Question Please:

The header and footer banners are not shown before login, after a user login to forum the banners show themselves, but I want my banners shown everytime without login, guests must see the advertisements

How can I do that ?

Thanks for your help
Sincerely

[RedTyger]

Add the usergroup id 1 to your usergroup settings in General Settings.

Hi, I am not sure what's the best way to upgrade the ad management plugin. I have just upgrade my Vb from 3.6.6 to 3.6.8, my current ad man plugin is 3.03.

Do I first revert my templates to original one from the new vb version and then run the plugin again and make all modifications?

Will I have to set up all my campaigns again?

Thanks so much

[RedTyger]

It's only the ad management templates that may need reverting, you should do this after upgrading. Adcode and settings will not have to be set up again.

I am not sure I understand. Do I fully install the VB upgrade including the new templates and then install the new version of the ad management?

Thanks

[RedTyger]

Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, that would be the best way to do it.
