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.

There are several templates to do this to but they are small ones.

I found Tattol's method to be easier. Especially for those who have multiple styles.

If I have a postbit-ad at the buttom of showthread then I can't click on the user of the last post before the ad. No menu, no possibility to send pm's ...
But just the last post before the ad. Why?

I installed this mod and I thought I followed all the directions pretty carefully, but when I click on "Custom" in the Admin CP to "delete unused custom blocks", as the instructions say to do, my entire screen disappears (just the blue background shows) except for the links at the top.

Any thoughts on what I did wrong?

I did some more checking and it looks like the other functions don't work, either. My APC either disappears completely, or just the side panel disappears. It's odd. I went back and made sure everything was uploaded correctly and that I had installed the product in the APC, also. It all looks right. Could one of my other mods be interfering? I am relatively new to all this, so I don't know exactly how to troubleshoot this.

I have this mod installed and appears to be working fine on other areas of the site except on the postbit. When I have it activated on postbit I get the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage", even though the ads (adsense) is showing just fine in the adcode preview. When I DEACTIVATE the postbit advertisements, I can view the threads just fine.

I tried testing it without an adcode and all sorts of setup variations, and I have the same problem.

Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it? Thanks for your time and help.

Update:
I figured out how to display the webpage, I had to disable the AJAX Refresh for the postbit. BUT now I can view a thread page, but the ads (adsense) won't show up, even though its showing in the adcode preview. Any thoughts? Thanks.

well to be honest ive emailed red tyger made a post on his forums and it seems he has no interest in supporting this mod any longer so i think it may have phased out now so unless we can support each other with this mod we may aswell dump it i know my problem is a small one but just thought id let you guys know
