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.

* 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.

Keep the folder structure.

So everything in in the includes folder goes in the includes folder and so on...

No worries.

It's a product, so upload it in the product manager

Hi there!

When my Ad Managment is active my whole forum shows only blank page with no source code. What could be wrong?

[KevinL]

read the manual...

I'm using a brand-free version of vBulletin / Enabling advertisements makes my forum pages go blank!

The full copyright link to my website must be present for the modification to work. If you are using a brand-free version of vBulletin you may find that it is not added automatically and that page display fails when vB Ad Management is turned on. There are two easy ways to fix this. Copy the following text... `
<br />Ad Management by <a href="http://redtyger.co.uk/" title="RedTyger website design, hosting and domains." target="_blank">RedTyger</a>

... onto the end of vBulletin's copyright text field at AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Site Name / URL / Contact Details (admincp/options.php?do=options&dogroup=address). If that doesn't work, you can paste it directly into the footer template at AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Template (in the style dropdown menu) > footer template. Where it says <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice --> is likely the best place.
