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.

This mod is really great, I had it installed and working fine.
But I'm 100% newbie on this HTML stuff and getting some hard times trying to understand some stuff.

I trying to include 5 pics on my header and make them rotating every 30 secs, I aprearently made the adcodes right and paste them like this on the correct field:

<img src=http://www.forum.com/adimages/image1.jpg alt="" /> | <img src=http://www.forum.com/adimages/image2.jpg alt="" /> | <img src=http://www.forum.com/adimages/image3.jpg alt="" /> | <img src=http://www. forum.com/adimages/image4.jpg alt="" /> | <img src=http://www.forum.com/adimages/image5.jpg alt="" />

When running this thing all the 5 pics are showed correctly but between every pic refreshes the header show me a blank image. What am I doing wrong ?

Can some one tell me how to associante hyperlinks to images using the above example ?

Last thing, does someone here created a mod or somenthing to make a kind of click statistics for the ads ? I know openads can do that and it's free but this mod is so cool and work so good for Vb that I don't want to fry my brain to use openads.

Thank you guys.

For some reason I have some problems with postbit ads. No matter what I do I can't get them to display on any other page than the first one.
So if I set the ads to be displayed after first post on each page, they only display on the first page, and all the other pages are ad-free. Any ideas?

why when ever i enable a ad I get a mysql error on every page.

I do not think this mod is supported any longer. It's been awhile since the developer has answered any questions.

Ok, I have a customer that wants to adversite by providing me a link to a php file. This php file then automatically randomizes the banner he sends for his advertisement. Problem is I can't seem to find the right syntax to get this mod to pull the banner.

The link to the banner.php is this:
http://iceteks.com/misc/adserver/uocoders.php

If you load that directly in your browser, and reload you will see it gives you one of 2 banners..

I have tried all of the following in the adcode section, but none give the correct result:

<img src="http://iceteks.com/misc/adserver/uocoders.php">

<?php 
    include 'http://iceteks.com/misc/adserver/uocoders.php';
   ?>

http://iceteks.com/misc/adserver/uocoders.php

So, anyone know how to get this to work??

Does anyone else have a problem with postbit ads or is it just me? They only appear on the first page of the thread, and I would like them to appear after the first post on each page of the thread

I'm using this to show an ad after every 9 posts for all usergroups except 38 (VIP).

It works in all cases except the ad in the footer... that shows to all users no matter what I think.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

[wolfyman]

oh... *installed*

thanks
