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.

Is there any way to have the ads show in search results (such as the New Posts page)?
In the postbit_complete.php file there is a line that contains THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'. you add && THIS_SCRIPT == 'search' immediately after it and overwrite the default postbit_complete.php file it should allow inclusion in the search postbit as well using the postbit_advertisement template and postbit_adcode adcode, although whether it will actually appear I don't know. Depends on whether the default settings allow it I suppose. Beyond that I'm afraid you're on your own...
Got it. Although the scripts would trigger if THIS_SCRIPT was 'search', none of the search hooks were being used.
So I copied the plugin that was triggered at hook location 'threadbit_display' and created a new plugin to trigger at hook location 'search_results_threadbit'
Struggling to get it fully working for Google AdSense. I mean I managed to successfully install everything and get the Client ID inserted properly using the #shared# feature an the field5 value taken from the user profile.
But I also need to be using the Channel ID which is different for each user, can anyone give me some clue on achieving this, please?
I installed vb mangment, i follow all the instructions, like says the first post... everything is ok, except that when i turn on the ads. in vb managment global settings, if i click to see my forum (to see how it looks like) my forum disapear...when i turn it off, it comes back...weird or normal?? maybe i need to set something special? maybe i need at least one advertisment code to make it work?
Please help; thx
sorry for my english, i'm french
p.s: i have google adsense installed in my postbit too (maybe a conflict?)
edit: i uninstalled it, and it didn't change anything
Are you sure the files have been uploaded to the right location? Now I think I do remember someone with this problem and it was the cause. For you, they should be at http://www.4newbiesforum.com/include...ent/(file).php.
Thank you for your response. This has corrected my blank page problem. I had no clue what to do with those files until you said to upload them to my server. Perhaps it might be common knowledge to upload modification files to an "includes" folder on the server. However, newbies like me to this would have never known to do this unless it was in the instructions. You should consider listing this step in your instructions, unless I messed it somehow.
Thanks again for your hard work and quick response.
