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.
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.
Quote:
* 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 in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

Quick question: I can't seem to find the option to add a "Click to here to remove Ads" link in my CP, at least for the left/right side areas. Can anyone point me to it? Am I really that blind, or is there no option like that for the left/right areas?
One question. In the right colum I would like to include my navbar. Rather than enter ther code in the ACP can I put in a PHP include? I have tried <?php include("navbar.php"); ?> and even <?php include("../navbar.php"); ?> and <?php include("../../navbar.php"); ?> and <?php include("../../../navbar.php"); ?> but nothing comes up.
Should this work? can this work? If so, what amy I doing wrong?
Well spotted, thank you. You're right, it's a particularly painful bug. I'm poking around with a couple of other things but I'll release an update ASAP.
I installed this modification but there is no changes? what is the settings of the mod?
The instructions are all in the first post, please click "Install" so you will receive updates.

Changing the settings
* The AdminCP options where you can change your settings are located in vBulletin Options after all the rest of the setting categories.
* If you want to edit the templates for the advertisements yourself, they are located immediately after their postbit counterparts in the Template Manager list with the suffix "_advertisement". Do not alter any value in the template (that's a string of words or letters beginning with a $ sign) or your ads may stop working! I'll only support the unedited product.

PHP cannot be used in templates. Inserting $navbar into the code might do it.

How do I reduce the size of my "Last Post" column so that my "Forum Column" can be expanded?
