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.

The v4 update is great. Just one thing:

I've started using the refresh feature, but I've noticed that doesn't show any ad after the refresh, just the "remove advertisement" part, and then it doesn't continue to refresh.

To clarify, the FIRST time the ad loads, it will show either one of the ads, working correctly, but after it refreshes, it doesn't show any advertisement.

Below is the code I use, minus the url's and number codes.

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "number";
//728x90, forum banner
google_ad_slot = "number";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script> | <a href="url"><img src="url" /></a>

If i want adsense to be displayed in the footer, do i just add the adsense code to Footer Adcode? I'm a little confused how to display adsense in any of these fields.

Sorry to be a pain. All a little confusing

I know how to remove the "Remove Advertisement" link, but wat about changing the link location and the name


To remove the link you need to search for the following and delete

<phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[adintegrate_remove_ads]</phrase>

I want to change the name of the link to say "Click Here to become an Official Sponsor"

And link to a custom Contact us page i want to make

I left mine with the default text but changed the destination page. The destination page explains that Sponsors dont see any adverts etc...

I changed

PHP Code:

<a href="{1}/register.php">Remove advertisements</a> 


TO THIS

PHP Code:

<a href="{1}/basic-help/3577-why-should-i-donate.html#post49933">Remove advertisements</a> 


Seems to work fine :up:

Getting the following error. Sorry if it's already been discussed. This thread is way to long.

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