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.

Hi,

I think there is a slight bug (more of a typo actually). When you are setting up a custom adblock the admincp tells you "If you are not using automatic insertion, paste $custom_1_advertisement into the appropriate template." I think this should be $custom1_advertisement (without the first underscore).

Cheers,
Ian

That's already possible and it is very easy. You don't even have to work out the custom ones because they're almost exactly the same as everything else.

Go to the custom section, choose from the dropdown menu at the top how many custom adcode blocks you want, click save, when the page refreshes there will be that many custom advertisements available. They're set up and used in exactly the same way as the rest of the adcode blocks, aside from selecting which template to use them in. But when making template edits, use the $GLOBALS version (bottom of the automatic insertion examples).

Oops, well spotted! Quite right. The template edit in the examples list is correct so hopefully that's not a big problem.

Hi,

I am having trouble with the ajax rotator. I have an iframe adcode from an advertiser. When the ad roatates it is adding a slash to the iframe src url. For example:

<div class="alt2"><iframe src="http://www.domain.com/aff.html" background="#F5F5FF" align="middle" frameborder="0" height="625" scrolling="no" width="125"></iframe></div>|<div class="alt2"><iframe src="http://www.domain.com/aff.html" background="#F5F5FF" align="middle" frameborder="0" height="625" scrolling="no" width="125"></iframe></div>

When the ajax refreshes the block I get a 404 in the iframe as the url is now "/http://www.domain.com/aff.html" (notice the slash before http).

Any way to solve this?

Cheers,
Ian

Is that the exact code? It really is domain.com as the URL? Could you tell me the adcode block you're using it with and the block's settings please.

Hi,

That is the exact code (except I am editting out the domain name). I get a 404 message that says exactly:
The requested URL /"http://www.domain.com/aff.html" was not found on this server.

(FYI in the admincp: The requested URL /admincp/"http://www.domain.com/aff.html" was not found on this server.)

This is in a custom adcode block. On the initial pageload it works fine, but when the ajax refreshes the block I get the 404.

Cheers,

Hi,

Some more issues with the ajax refresh. In the header adcode I have:

<td class="search" nowrap="nowrap" style="font-size: 9px"><a href="http://www.domain.com/?aid=domain" target="_blank">Testing</a></td>|<td class="search" nowrap="nowrap" style="font-size: 9px"><a href="http://www.domain.com/?aid=domain" target="_blank">Test</a></td>|<td class="search" nowrap="nowrap" style="font-size: 9px"><a href="http://www.domain.com/?aid=domain" target="_blank">Test 2</a></td>

Let's say that on the initial pageload "Testing" is what loads first. When the ajax refreshes the block, "Testing" does not disappear, and "Test" loads above it. "Test" will start to refresh, but the original "Testing" never disappears while the other refreshes.

That probably made no sense whatsoever, but that is the best I can explain it.

Cheers,
Ian
