What is DragonByte Forum Ads?
DragonByte Forum Ads is an advanced advertising solution that allows you to easily show visitors you have advertisements available, offer multiple ad campaign options including banners, keywords and more and maximise the revenue potential of your community. Full PayPal integration and automated features such as deactivating expired ad campaigns allows you to make money without expending extra effort.

Fully integrated with vBulletin's "Advertising" page, this mod allows you to make use of vBulletin's powerful advertisement criteria, without having to manually accept payments & manually add the ad code.

DragonByte Forum Ads allows you to offer your ad space on the forums at a price, letting potential advertisers submit their advertisements for consideration before they are asked to pay.

Major Features

Automatic Campaign Handling
When an advertisement campaign is paid for, it's automatically activated. Once its purchased impressions, clicks or days are used up, it's automatically deactivated.

PayPal integration
Supports PayPal for fast and easy transactions, even from credit card users (without the responsibility of storing & processing credit card data).

Powerful Admin Controls
Administrators have complete control over advertisement campaigns, requiring moderation for all campaigns before they are paid for to ensure you agree with all the content being displayed.

Over A Dozen Banner Locations
Archive - Above Content 1, Above Content 2, Below Content
Forum Home - After Forums, Below "What's Going On"
Forum Display - Below Threadlist
Thread Display - First Post Content, Last Post Content
Global - Header 1, Header 2, Below Navbar, Above Footer
Blog Sidebar - Sidebar 1, Sidebar 2, Sidebar 3
Blog Entry - Before Entry, After Entry
Blog List - First Entry

Powerful Keyword System
You can sell keyword replacements, allowing people to convert certain words into links to their sites. This can be especially useful if you're running a site discussing real products, allowing the product owners to quickly convert discussions into potential sales.

I found this code that they made to work for the RBS (rotating banner system). Can one of you coding guys convert it for this mod please?

Code:
PHP Code:
.rbs_header_2 {
height: 70px;
left: 515px;
position: absolute;
text-align: right;
top: 35px;
width: 468px;
}

and in header2:
PHP Code:
<div class="rbs_header_2"><!--@vbbanners:0@--></div>

It would be different CSS all together. I still see no banner in that position.

The ad on the right that says "your ad here 468x60 banner" is encroaching on the buttons at the top right. I need some css to move it down a small bit.

But looking at your site, I see no banner in the header area, closest thing I see is the google ads below the breadcrumb.

Wait, I had my ad blocker on, are you talking about the Project of the Month Winner banner? if not, you need to enable the banner so we can see the CSS definitions that need to be changed.

I cannot get Adsense to work with this mod- I entered the Adsense code in the banner space and the ad location and nothing.

This mod also conflicts with and negates https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228950 (Moderate New User Registrations (ModCP Option))

Last, when I entered 468x60 banners to test, there is white space, AND the banner on the right header invades the top button space.



That white space is annoying. How can I get rid of that?

Here is the solution to moving the banner in the right header down so that it does not block the buttons on the top right:


Success!

Place this in the additional.css template:
Code:
#ad_global_header2 {
padding-top: 15px;
}

#ad_global_header1 {
padding-top: 15px;
}
Header #2 will clear the buttons, and header #1 will line up with it!

No response yet?


PROBLEMS:

ADSENSE is not going into the ads.

This mod CONFLICTS with Moderate New User Registrations (ModCP Option) - vBulletin.org Forum

THIRD, the WHITE SPACES must be removed. How?
