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.

Thanks RedTyger. Terrific update/upgrade. Followed your instructions on upgrading from 3.x and had no problems.

With your new version there are a couple bugs

1- There is no option to remove the text below ads that reads "Remove Advertisements".

2- There is a settings tab on the left but also a settings option in the overall vBulletin Options section that pulls up with no text but with setting areas. (i.e. the pages loads but no text, only check boxes and text boxes)

I upgraded as instructed.

To those with issues, make sure you uploaded the files after you imported the product and language files. I also had to switch it off until I had my adcode inserted.

BUG 1:

Language File is broken and the normal Product installs without any Phrases. All Options in AdminCP from vBAdManagement are broken now.

BUG 2:

All Ads are broken after upgrading.

How to rollback? Which Table is to be restored after uninstalling 4.0 and installing 3.1 to get my Advertisment Codes back??? *omg*

Red,

Ok, I installed v4

Ive enabled header
I placed banner code
banner code shows in preview
I placed header automatic insertion: top

it works, I do not like the position of the banner, how can i place
it how you saw it the first time? top/right of the sceen, straight
across from the VB logo? or even drop the banner down somewhat
to make it appear more normal.

Thanks

This is what ive been looking for also, red should have option to remove/replace
the Text, and the link, I want to change the text, and point the link someplace
other then what it is. I have yet to find out how. it would be much easier
if it was in admincp/ad management

Thanks

Did everyone having problems follow the instructions properly? You cannot upgrade from 3.xx to 4.00. You must uninstall first, then install.

Please try and bear with me if you're having problems, its an awful lot of people upgrading at the same time.

1. Removing this must be done manually now. Look for <phrase 1="$vboptions[bburl]">$vbphrase[adintegrate_remove_ads]</phrase> in the applicable template and just delete it.

2. That is an unfortunate side-effect of the way that the vBulletin products are set up. It'll just have to be ignored I'm afraid.

There are no Instruction in the *.zip File so everyone thinks its only overwritting. :down:

Can you please tell us in which Tables the old Ads are saved to get them back ??
