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 is no &nbsp in my header template, where should I put $header_advertisement?

I got the same problem but after a while it starts to appear for all.

Excellent product. Works with little setup. I love the "Click here to Remove Advertisment" link that you can link to payment.php. Thats a nice touch

I'm not familiar with that modification, but both the header and footer advertisements should work on any other vB page by inserting $GLOBALS[header_advertisement] into the template instead of $header_advertisement.

Ah, that's good news. I couldn't think of any reason it would be an issue with my mod.

Any one have an example site I could see it in action on?

You can put it into the footer yourself if you want, yes. I'd prefer the text remained the same but as long as it links to the right place I guess I'll survive.

I am testing this mod and found a bug or inconveniency.

When adding the ad code in settings I found that if the ad code contain a tag like this

IMG alt="McAfee, Inc"

then it fails to parse the code correctly because of the comma inside the quotes. If I manually remove the comma it works.

This issue and workarounds have been discussed in past posts.

Some have opted to use | instead. I personally use ;; as the dilineator so as to not conflict with some ad types from OpenAds.

After being in style manager, what do I do? this is my first mod installation, so where is <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu -->?

edit: i learnt how to do it by myself, yipee Great mod!

Forgive me if this has been discussed already, but it's hard to search 34 pages of past posts.

Everything seems to work fine with this except for one thing. I am running vB 3.6.4 and just installed this mod. When I ad my Google analytics code into the analytics input box in the vB ad mngmt section, it causes an error in IE. The site displays fine, but the browser says "Error" in the bottom left corner. When I look up the error, it's always a problem with the code that is inserted into the Analytics section. I have tried two different versions of code and keep getting the same problem. As soon as I remove the code from that input area, the error goes away.

Anyone have any idea what the problem may be? Great mod otherwise! Thanks!
