vB Ad Management 4

Check the FAQ before requesting support!

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  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   in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

Thanks for the mod, is there any way to disable ads on registration page. Displaying ads on registration pages is against Adsense ToS

Thanks

Yes, in General Options there's a place to enter pages where ads will not be displayed. It has instructions with the options, I forget how to enter it exactly, but you need to use the word 'register'.

Doesn't work well with Zoints Local.

Hi - Please excuse me if this seems like a really obvious post - I'm completely new to VB.

This add on looks superb and will hopefully do just what I need. (Rotating between my own ads with links and Google adsense ads).

I have downloaded the Zip file and extracted (so far just to my desktop). My two questions;

Q1 The first instruction says 'upload the product using the product manager'. I am not sure what the product manager is? Am I being extremely thick here?

The rest of the instructions make complete sense to me and I can upload the folder to my includes folder on the server, no problem.

Q2 Do I also need to dowload global start.php ? I see there are not that many downloads in comparison to the zip file. Again sorry if this is just me missing the obvious.

I just want to ensure that I complete the installation properly.

Thanks in anticipation of any pointers!

Admin CP | Plugins & Products | Product Manager

Scroll down to [Add/Import Product] at the bottom.

Upload using the first box.

Yes. This is a fix. Download this version of global_start.php and save it to the same folder as the previous version BEFORE uploading the files.

Thank you for your help!!

Followed your instructions and now all is installed - great.

I was going to try this out by placing an advert in the header section. Reading the VB admangement settings page in VBoptions, I see you can have a static or rotating code. If I have a couple of banner jpgs uploaded on a folder on my server, can anyone advise me what code I should use in the header settings box to call these banners and rotate them? I wanted to make the each banner clickable to a URL.

As you wouldnt know my banner/folder names would it be possible to give me an idea by using the word yourbannerfilename in the code?

So grateful for any help.

I will also spend the next few days reading the rest of the 80 or so pages of posts relating to VB admanagement.

Hi All:

I have some weird problem here, I'm using 3.6.7 PL1:

I install the mod, and works great, but the Sharing Area is not working, when I put the "Adcode replacement" #shared# instead of the banner I got nothing.

example:

PHP Code:


			
admin default = site

#shared# = domain (field6 from the first thread user)

for

www.site.com/banner.jpg

or

www.domain.com/banner.jpg



I got:

www..com/banner.jpg

I uninstall, reinstall, in fact I try to make it work in several ways but with out luck.

vB Ad Management Ad Sharing settings
Enable Ad Sharing?: Yes
Adcode replacement: #shared#
Allow HTML in shared Adcode? Yes //I try yes and no
Identify adcode's owner? No //I try yes and no
Primary Ad Sharing Admin code: site
Primary Ad Sharing Admin code (Columns): site2
Ad Sharing FieldID: field6 //I try other fields just in case
Ad Sharing FieldID (Columns): field6
Chance of using the thread starter's Ad Sharing code: 99 // try to leave it blank, 100, 50 = no luck
Chance of using the last poster's Ad Sharing code: 1

The other fields are in blank.

Hope you can help me. The mod is great. Thanks for all!!!

Not much point reading all the thread, a lot of it is about old verisons anyway.

Code:

<a href="www.url1.com"><img src="bannerfolder/banner1.jpg"></a> |
<a href="www.url2.com"><img src="bannerfolder/banner2.jpg"></a> |
<a href="www.url3.com"><img src="bannerfolder/banner3.jpg"></a>

Banner:

Thanks in advance!!
