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.

Seems to be working ok in vbulletin 3.7 Release Candidate 1. Looking around now. I need to be able to set this up so users can purchase exposures for their ads - is that somewhere in here or should I get ready to do some hacking?

I deleted the older version of vB Ad Management. I then uploaded and installed the current version (Ad Management 4). After doing so when I entered in the url for my forums all I got was a white screen. What am I doing wrong? I deleted it and my forums are back, however, most of my add ons were no longer reflected in my forums. Help!

My url is http://members.theparentpack.org and I am running the 3.6.7 version of vbulletin.

I installed version 4.02 on my test site to check it out.

My forum is installed on a subdomain with the name test instead of www.

I tried to enable Full page adverts and selected redirect after 5 page views.

When I had viewed 5 pages and it was time for a redirect I got a 404 page not found.

Instead of redirecting to test.domain.com/advertisment.php I was redirected to domain.com/advertisment.php resulting in 404 page not found.

Is this possible. Right now my stickies are included in the threadbit ads. I would like to not include them so I can keep the stickies all together.

I had issues with my older version of vB Ad Managment. The ads would not show up anywhere but the preview for some reason. They had been working, then they just stopped. So I accidentally deleted the old version of it. Then I downloaded and installed the current 4.0 version of it and when I went to my forums the page was just a blank white screen. Once I deleted it, my forums returned to nearly normal. Now I still do not have the Ad Management, and a few other hacks are still there, but not working, while some are fine. I don't understand what went wrong. Can you help?

We have 3.14 installed on our forums currently.

I have noticed an issue on our Registration page (see screen shot). This mod was installed before I came to be an admin on this board, so I'm not overly familiar with it (yet).

The ads at the bottom of the page are making the lay out of the page look bad.

I understand that the layout might be uniform for the entire forum, is this correct?

Is there no way to fix this on the one page?

Any help would be really appreciated!
