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.

Also remember to disable auto insert of advertisements, and instead hardcode the calls into the relevant templates....

Installed it but in admincp missing text referring the form fields to configure.

I was having the same problem as you guys. After I uploaded the "English Prases" via the plugin manager it was showing me the correct "Fields" in the AdminCP...

I figure thats what it was. I was wondering the same thing when I installed it, imported the language and then it worked great!

I just installed this on vb 3.7.0 b6 and tried running the "Delete unused custom adcode blocks?" option in AdminCP and got the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function query_write() on a non-object in /home/kvguildn/public_html/talkvirginia/forum/includes/adminfunctions_options.php(467) : eval()'d code on line 20

The install went fine too. Anyone experience this yet? Any fix?

Thanks!

Jim

If you are running a brand-free vBulletin, it is possible you are not including the required copyright notice. See http://redtyger.co.uk/manual.php?pro...q_no_copyright

This is a great hack i love it. But did anyone figure out how to make the ads rotate. Lets says 10 banners and they change out every time the page is refreshed. Thanks for any help
