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.

Beautiful mod

But i can't use it.
I don't know how activate some functions.

OK i have puted my adsense in footer, every think is OK.
But i can't use the function add the adsense in forumdisplay.php ( like a post ) and in showthread.php ( below the post # X ) ...

Can somebody help me, and explain me how add adsense in these two places ...

Thank you very much

for showthread and forumbit that's nnot so much "automatic" you have to setup under wich forums ids it should appear in the vba options, and for the threads there is also options to setup or if it does not works you probably missed the coder instructions in the 1st post

[Kamatch]

Yes but i'm not a very good coder.
I have a little bit dificult to put my adsense in these two places ...

Can somebody tell me how to do, step by step, to put adsense in forumdisplay.php and showtread.php with vB Ad M.

Thanks

Hi,

I have followed the instructions for installation. I installed on the latest version of Vbulletin. When I go to check my AdminCP it has not been added.

I found the installation guide simple and straight forward but its just not in the adminCP.

Is there something else I need to do or install?

Hi,

I activated the threadbit ads but not ads shown when I'm in 'today's post' or 'new post' page. How can I add the ads to these threadbit?

Thanks.

I don't seem to get it working. ADs are displayed but never with the Users-Adcode, always only with my publisher ID.

I made a new custom field, it is field5. The replacement is #shared#.

My ADs are looking like this:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "#shared#";
google_alternate_color = "1B1B1B";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
//2007-10-08: Welcome Area AD
google_ad_channel = "5574964608";
google_color_border = "1B1B1B";
google_color_bg = "1B1B1B";
google_color_link = "0000FF";
google_color_text = "008000";
google_color_url = "000000";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"

Any ideas? Must I include ForumIDs ?
