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.

To open up a new window, add in 'target = "_blank" ' to the code as follows:

<a href="http://www.???.com/" target="_blank">

Thanks. Actually, the centering thing didn't work. This did: <p align="center">

The code for opening the ad target up in a new window worked great.
Thanks

Just installed 4.02 and i'm now getting the following at the top of my showthread.php pages???

Warning: mt_rand() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /includes/vb_ad_management/functions_vb_ad_management.php on line 139

I have disabled the postbit adverts for the time being.

I'm sure there's an incredibly simple fix for this, as I've been using vB Ad Management 4 for a while now without any problems.

We downloaded a new Christmas style, so we could appear festive and give our forum a new look for a couple of weeks.

The problem is, the ads that appeared on our old style no longer appear on our new style! It's almost as if the new style hasn't been told about vB Ad Management 4.

We then downloaded and installed the latest version of vB Ad Management 4, which still works fine in our old style, but we just can't seem to get it working with the new Christmas style.

I'm sure there's something we've forgotten to do when we installed the new style, but can't work out what it is.

Can anyone help???

Can vbadmgt work with .swf files? If so, can somebody put up the syntax so I can place ads on my forum?

thanks in advance.

[jnrdavo]

ok, this is getting annoying. I've just downloaded 4.02 and tried up upload to my bb...

I'm still getting a white menu for all the vbadmgt options, nothing at all.

Can somebody please help, have anybody out there managed to get over this?

is it something to do with the advertisement.php script, where should this live? Does it go straight in the forum root folder?

When I enable the advertisments on the global settings page, my website will not display at all. When I disable it, my website will then display again. What could be causing this issue?

Can people please read the prior posts or search the thread before posting questions? Red does an amazing job providing this mod and the more you pester him with the same questions, the less time he has to continue to improve and expand the product.

This looks nice. I'll be installing it when it's a bit less buggy.

BUG:

Installed 4.0.2 and now are no Postbit Ads are shown anymore.

The Bug in Postbit where the Ads are only displayed on the first Page of a Thread is not fixed - now it does not work anymore.
