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 remove the block from showing at all, edit the template "advertisement_threadbit" under the "Advertisement Templates" group.

You can either remove it when you're editing the template above.... or edit the phrase.

Search for "remove advertisement" under "Languages & Phrases" in the AdminCP.

Is it possible to display the advertisement's owner? By username, preferably.

I noticed a previous poster mention turning on "identify ad owner", but I don't see that option anywhere now. Old feature?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Just before I install this, is it possible like if Ive got 4 different banners, they can be in the one banner, and it changes everytime you refresh the page..

Also.. can the account holder of the advertisement see how many clicks the banner has had etc?

**Update to this**, I figured out how to add code, somewhat. Anytime I pasted adsense code into the adcode box and try to save it, I get the page cannot be displayed. I can use images, html, anything else, but when i pasted my adsense code in there, it will NOT save. please help

Hello all, I am excited as can be about this mod. However, am I the only one here that has no clue how to get ads enabled. For example, I want to install ads for postbit so that a google ad is displayed every 5th post/reply. I have it enabled and set to every 5th one under postbit settings, but I am lost as to what I need for postbit adcode, and where/what I need to edit to make it appear.

Can anyone help with this? A little more detailed process that you would use from start to finish to enabled postbit ads.

Thanks!

Works great. Thanks. My only question is has anyone encountered a situation where only unregistered users can't see banner ads? I checked all my usergroups and they worked fine, but when I log out the ads don't show.

Hmm.

I need help!

I've uploaded the files onto the server and I can now see the VB Ad Management section on the Nav Bar in Admin.

However...after following the directions to make an ad, I can not make any ads appear!

I want to insert one that will automatically insert and rotate 2-3 ads at the top of the Nav Bar on my forum. How do I do this? What code do I use?

Is there any HTML code I can paste in front of the add code in the Ad Managerment Control Panel?

I could really use an answer to this question. If anyone knows...I can't get the left and right columns to float right correctly and stay at the top of the screen.
