Advertisement System V2.6 Aka Ad Management · **Released**: 05-12-2008

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.

Is ther any way to make it auto template edit ?

FalkinPro · #**373** 07-21-2008, 03:58 AM

Call me a n00b but I can't find the edit box in admin panel that corresponds to $ad_headerLogo.

The only box under "Advertisement System (Header & Footer) is "Header Advertisement Code" but that only displays code for $ad_headerEnd. Where is the box that corresponds to $ad_headerLogo?

EDIT: If I am correct the edit template box is under "Advertisement System (Settings & Slideshow) which means slideshow has to run through $ad_headerlogo? (ie is there no way to turn of slideshow and simply run several banners in rotation under headerlogo)?

Second question, I want to make $ad_headerEnd (or other locations) to 468 x 60 px instead of 729 x 90 px. How do I go about doing this?

UaECasher · #**374** 07-21-2008, 04:47 AM

Hello, I have installed every thing and added the codes to templates but when i add the Ad code it don't appear on my forums (here is my forums link Casherz Forums)

Thank you

angusv · #**375** 07-21-2008, 05:11 PM

Hi,

I am trying to edit the header code and can't find:

Code:

<td align="$stylevar[right]" id="header_right_cell">
		<if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />&nbsp;</if>
	</td>

or:

Code:

<if condition="$show['dst_correction']">

All I have is:

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="BlendTrans(Duration=0)" />
<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="BlendTrans(Duration=0)" />

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have install and edit the templates but I have 3 problems:

1. Header banner is lower then the logo taking more space (see here) Banner is " width="612" height="75" because it does not enter otherwise in line with the logo. I would like to be in line with the logo.

Header is:

Code:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
	<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
	
<td align="$stylevar[left]"><center><div align="right"><if condition="$ad_headerLogo"><center>$ad_headerLogo</center><else />&nbsp;</if></center>

<td align="$stylevar[right]">
        &nbsp;
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_headerEnd

2. The banner in footer (sponsored links is working) does not want to show up (I have tested with the same banner as the top)
EDIT: It shows but after 1-2 min waiting, in all browsers. (it is a svf file)
Footer is:

Code:

$ad_footerStart
<br />
<div class="smallfont" align="center">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
<br />

$spacer_close
<!-- /content area table -->

	<td class="tfoot" align="$stylevar[right]" width="100%">

				<if condition="$vboptions[privacyurl]"><a href="$vboptions[privacyurl]">$vbphrase[privacy_statement]</a> -</if>
				<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;">$vbphrase[top]</a>
			</strong>
		</div>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

3. Top banner does not show in forum announcements (like after logout) But it shows on registration page where I understand it is suppose not to show.

I use VB 3.7.0 on the site.
Problems appear on IE and Opera. Firefox I have a problem with it and I am not shure how it is.
Any ideas what is wrong... Thanks
PS Nice work ... please consider adding a link below all ads How to remove this add directing to join a specific group. It was in the previous mod and it was usefull.

Been working with phpBB for years, but I'm fairly new to vBulletin. I can't seem to get this working at all. I'm using 3.7.2 and I can't find the right lines of code in the header file of the cutsom or default styles. I've been working at it for days, but I'm getting no where fast.

Could be just me, but I find the instructions for this a little difficult to understand. I do appreciate all the work that's been done on this mod and I understand that all of your time is offered freely, but I think I'm going to have to uninstall for now.

I really just want a simple script for rotating ad banners under my navbar and above my photoplog thumb gallery. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

for header try this

Code:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
	<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; $ad_headerEnd</td>
	


<td align="$stylevar[right]">
        &nbsp;
	</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

for registration page go to admincp , vbulletin options , Advertisement System (Settings & Slideshow) , Do NOT display advertisements for scripts and enter :
register|search|login

i will include remove advertisements in v2.5 .

* add Header advertisement code If you want to use random rotations, enter your ad codes here separated by |
example :

Code:

<a href="http://www.link1.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.link1.com/banner.jpg"></a> |
<a href="http://www.link2.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.link1.com/banne2r.jpg"></a>

do samething for navbar & footer

Thx Karim
It did not work either with you suggestion. I have moved $ad_headerEnd to the next td looking like this :

Code:

<td align="$stylevar[right]">
        &nbsp; $ad_headerEnd
	</td>

Works like a charm , hope it didnt mess smting else because my knowledge on coding is very limited (close to )

)
Hope it helps others.
Many thanks
