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.

Bad news for me if one can't use Google Adsense and the | as a seperator. Can anyone confirm if that ability is gone?

[fluentdesigns]

Ya this one is a bit different then vbadmanagement. For vbadmanagement you were able to enter code for example from OpenX into each banner spot in the forums so that way I could have different zones setup in OpenX and track how many clicks each zone was getting and see what ads do better then others. Maybe this coder will add this ability as well?

[tekguru]

Hmm, no good for me then as for example in the postbit I rotate:

1) Google Adsense - standard text banner
2) Google Adsense - Links text banner
3) Advertiser 1
3) Advertiser 2
3) Advertiser 3

All via either adsense code or HTML, and if it can't handle that it is no good for me.

I bought GAB and tried using that but it takes too many resources.

Missing Ads for the Archive

[Hornstar]

this is a fantastic start tho, and looks very promising already.

[Chance4Today]

I thought it would be easy to do and I followed the directions and nothing is showing up any ideas?

Add The Green Code Below To Get The Banner Rotation. Next, just Change Full Link For Banner & Full Link For website with your banners links&the websites links. If you want to use the rotation for more than 3 websites, then add myimages[x]="bannerlink" slinks add imagelinks[3]="websitelink" x=the banner&website ordre 4,5,6......:
Edit The Links For Images&LinksThen Copy & Paste :



//Edit Then Copy&Paste This Code
myimages[1]="Full Link For Banner1"
myimages[2]="Full Link For Banner2"
myimages[3]="Full Link For Banner3"
//specify corresponding links below for your banners
var imagelinks=new Array()
imagelinks[1]="Full Link For website1"
imagelinks[2]="Full Link For website2"
imagelinks[3]="Full Link For website3"

???

Anyone understands this ???

Does this mean:

http://*.jpg=http://www.test.de

or

http://*.jpg[1]="http://www.test.de"

or

http://*.jpg[1]="http://www.test.de1"

??

And by the Way - if you give the Option for a Postbit Rotation - where is the Option after which Post this has to happen?
I cant see anything in Postbits - but under Navbar and Footer it works.

BTW - rename "GoogleAdSense" Option to "Activate Script or other Banners". I am using Amazon and it works.

And last but not least - missing the Full Page Advertisement after X Post very hardly.

Indeed be nice to setup Zones again using OpenX
Good to see someone taking the initiative though to bring back, & support a well needed and used plugin.

[auctionguy]

I just tried the banner rotation on one of my sites and I love it in 3.7 !

I am going to mess with the postbit stuff next.

Awesome hack so far though!! Thanks!
