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.
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:
* 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 in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

Just been looking at version 4.00 Beta and it looks amazing. Looking to install in tomorrow, but just a couple of questions!
Is it possible to have two random banners displaying next to each other in the footer? Below is what I currently have, but would be nice to use your mod rather then the mish mash of code im using at present.
Ive also got Forum Sponsor currently installed - Im presuming i'll gave to uninstall this, but prior to that, does your forum sponsor part of the mod work the same way?
(I hope this was the right place to ask, I did try to reply on your site but it wasnt allowed. Apologies if im in the wrong place)
Can someone tell me how this compares to OpenAds? I'm not so much asking about a feature comparison (although I'd be interested in that as well), but does it address the same need? Would I use one or the other but not both? If they do different things could your please give me an overview of what role each one plays?
I have the "vb_ad_management" folder inside of my "Includes" folder. Is this correct?
Yes. If it is in the wrong place then you'll see error messages anyway.

Yes. There's one footer-specific section and you can add an additional custom section to the footer as well from the AdminCP.

If you have a lot of forums, you may find it painful to do the same with my modification as it would require a template conditional for each for you wanted to do it for, although its perfectly possible. Its much more "hands on" in exchange for flexibility. The sponsors section on mine has a different purpose (box of sponsors in the footer) so it may not suit you anyway.[/QUOTE]

I'm out of ideas I'm sorry to say. You seem to be doing nothing wrong. You could try disabling all other plugins to make sure there's no conflict, trying another advertisement section like the header to see if its a problem specific to the postbit advertisement, substituting the javascript ad for plain text for testing or trying the beta of the next version and seeing if that works for you (link at the top of the first post).

They're two very different things, people commonly use the two together. OpenAds provides the advertisements, vB Ad Management lets you manage them specifically within your forum, broadly speaking.
