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, today I installed this software which worked out fine but I got an error when activating a advertisement. The board works fine when this option is on "NO" in the header & navbar section.

Enable navbar advertisements on your forum?
Choose Yes to enable navbar advertisements on your forum.

But setting it to yes gives me the following warnings upon entering the board:

Warnung: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/functions_vb_ad_management.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/xxxx.nl/httpdocs:/tmp) in /includes/vb_ad_management/global_start.php (Zeile 2)

Warnung: main(functions_vb_ad_management.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /includes/vb_ad_management/global_start.php (Zeile 2)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function checkadtime() in /var/www/vhosts/xxxx.nl/httpdocs/testforum/includes/vb_ad_management/global_start.php on line 170

I happen to be no code expert so could anybody help me with this?

Thx a lot!

i just installed the hack, and i got blank screen....

after disable the product... everything back to normal ....

[jnrdavo]

hey RedTyger...

I've noticed that I and others haven't seen a reply yet for the blank menu option that we are getting...

I would appreciate if you could give an update, even if it's a "it's a really hard one but I'm working on it. Might take me a couple of months though"...

I'm not getting any replies, so I don't know if I should hang on for an update, or roll back to 3.14....

Not complaining, just trying not to be ignored!

Dont forget that this is a free mod that took a lot of hours to create. Red Tyger is probabley like most of us in that he has a day job and a familly to fit in around his coding.

Im sure he is working on the issues that we have reported

Not forgotten at all. I am very greatful that he has written a great package, it was working great for me on 3.12... I'm just trying to get 4.02 to work....

Yeah, I know what it's like to have to split the time also. I am running three web forums with over 3,000 members, a lot of policing has to be done to curb the bad language , fix up the news etc...

I have installed successfully. I have followed the set up instructions up until the editing the templates then I am lost. Of course the ads are not showing on the forums. HELP. This is my first time and I am learning as I go. Thanks!
