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.

Same here. Removed it again.

The variable $rightcolumn_advertisement is in a template called 'rightcolumn' FYI
Hey Red, any news about this? I tried a couple of things but I can't get it to work.

Hi RedTyger:

The problem is solved, I didn't noticed the problem was on the Known Bugs for 3.x.x

Everything is working well, I realize your script could be used for more things than the adv management so I add 2 custom fields, I'll send you the file via PM so you can take a look and if you like maybe can added to the next update, will be a lot of help for some users.

Thanks for the help. your script is great!! :up:

3) 300x250 ad block for guests

Does this mod give me this option?
Yes, it'll do that. You can't use usergroup conditionals for individual but you can restrict templates in that manner. So you could use the header_advertisement template for usergroup X by surrounding the template with the conditional
Code:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroup] == 'x'">
TEMPLATE CONTENTS
</if>
and then do the same for the footer template but place it in the same location instead of in the footer. It will work anywhere.

It should work, but if it doesn't...well, if you're altering the modification then you're more or less on your own I'm afraid. Both the header and footer adcodes work globally so if you're not using either one you could try moving them instead.

Redtyger, I like your mod and thanks for the good support.

I would like to know why this is not working for me. I'm usually good at installing these. I have added the codes in my template and enabled it, and turning it on/off works but where it display is not working. What I mean is that I do not want to display them on certain pages like register / private so I have done how you explained in the mod. register#private, but the ad still shows up in these pages..

cheers.

Solved it I think.

Needed to put this in the rightcolumn plugin:

include('../forum/includes/vb_ad_management/global_start.php');

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it, but it works. Let me know what you think please.

Thanks.

The HTML for the columns was taken directly from the suggestion by vBulletin themselves and I couldn't improve upon it. It is possible that it's a problem with the code, I know that the main table does have some sizing troubles occasionally. If anyone has an example of left and right columns that work perfectly without any resizing issues, let me know and I'll update it.

Hi does anyone else experience their main table resizing when you click on a forum (this is with ads in left, right column or both). I have to click each forum twice every time, either going into it or coming up a level.

If it works for you then don't worry about it any further.
