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.

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 &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, how much would it cost to remove the the footer advertisement?
Sorry, that option is no longer available.

Meaning I got 5 sponsors, and I put it in my right column. I want them to display randomly in the 5 positions (but never appear more than once)
Every location has a choice of random or static advertisements. I can't guarantee that you won't see the same advertisement twice in a row but they will all get exactly equal time in the spot.

Just wondering, if there would be any mod to see which member has clicked and how many times they clicked on an ad? I would love is this was available, this way once they click x amount of ads, I can set them up to not view ads for a month, and this would get them motivated to help, and yea... you understand.

Hi RedTyger,

Getting this after I installed the new version 3.12.... (This was not a prob in last version I had, which was 3.04 I believe)

With "Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template" marked as YES in STYLE AND LANGUAGE SETTINGS

and

"Display Advertisements as User?" marked as YES in VB AD MANAGEMENT

The Ads show up as the new horizontal layout format... (This throws off the look of the thread and does not appear to be a user)

Any fix please?

Thanks....

That is not something I will do, it's very open to abuse indeed. That'll have to be a project for yourself.

No, your settings will all remain.

Yes, it is. But it's still readable.

Hi!

I just downloaded and installed the version 3.13. I updated the Version 3.04. Now, no ad is shown. Any Hints?

Hi!

I found the problem: If you update from 3.04 you will need to copy the content from the include folder to your include folder of your server installation... everything works now. thanx for the great plugin!

DOes this replace version 2.x ? I don't wan tthe ad sharing portion of this.

Also, can the code be modified to only showing the postbit ad after the first post, on the first page?

You should still upgrade, there are other improvements. Ad-sharing is disabled by default.

Alter the postbit(_legacy)_advertisement template like so. Surround the contents with a conditional:

<if condition="$post[postcount] == '1'">
CONTENTS OF POSTBIT TEMPLATE
</if>

Please click Install so you don't miss updates.
