Add-On Releases - Advertisement System V2.6 Aka Ad Management

Many forums are using the Ad management system, however the coder has stopped supporting the script. Therefore I have decided to release this modification. I will give support to those who need it and continue to make updates to the system.

====>> Live Demo
The Advertisement System was designed with the intent that anyone with any level of experience could use the system. It is easy to install and once installed, the templates are easy to use on a site. The advertisement system has several features that sites will enjoy such as it can be used on versions 3.6.x as well as 3.7.x. The ads can be placed in the following areas: header , footer , below whats going on, below the navbar , postbit , postbit legacy, pms, announcement, archive, left & right column in forum home , left column in member info and full page , threadbit , as well as forumbit. Also, the ability to not display advertisement on certain pages such as login, registration & the search page. This system allows you to personalize the system to better suit their needs such as setting permissions like ads after first post on a page, ads after last post on a page, ads after X post on a page, and ads every X posts on a thread. You may also display ads by forum ID, as well as customize the full page for your site. The system comes with a feature for auto refresh ads as well as Google analytics. Besides the features,there is constant support given to those who need it and of course, updates are made to the system in order to better serve the sites using the system.

any idea? the rest works, all template edits are done

check admincp , vBulletin Options , Advertisement System (Header & Footer)
even if you enable Enable header or footer advertisements in the main forum you must select what type of rotation :
ads rotation or auto refresh ads

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(X,Y,Z))">
show_ad_code1
<else />
show_ad_code2
</if>

yes silviu , works with all vb conditions

Thanks, that seems to work, but the ads are displayed completely on the bottom, even below the powered by vbulletin crap.

any idea how to get them a bit better placed? like just below the quickreply or alike?

thanks a lot for the help and suggestions

Glad to see this taken on!

We're looking for a solution for our current forums, and I'm a bit unsure if this is it for us. I've tried reading through, but with 16 pages, it's a bit difficult.

We need the following:

1) Google ads
1a) visible by user group (in other words, if not logged in, then will see the ads)
2) Rotating Banner ads
2a) shown to everyone, but possible to disable per user group as well
3) Sponsored forums - the ability to specify which banner will headline in which forum. Will not rotate

I understand that #3 might require a different mod all together...but I want to check.

Can anyone verify if this will work as we need it to?

Thanks!
