Major Additions - vB Ad Management 4

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.

Hi RedTyger,

(1) How to adjust the gap of the footer banner, its very near to the lower portion of the "Posting Rules" menu and gonna hit it.

(2) Possible to have different ads (i.e. left, right, header & footer) on different forum pages?
Thanks!

Cheers,
Eric

Does this have support for perhaps having a user that donates money to no longer see the advertisements being displayed here?

Or does this need to be manually done with if conditionals?

v2.0 Find &nbsp; in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.

I don't have the "&nbsp;" in my template header (custom template....where would I place it in this header?

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
 <td><a href="index.php"><img src="redbar/elements/logo.jpg" border="0"></a></td>
</tr>
  <td width="655">
<!-- /logo -->
$header_advertisement
<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open
$leftcolumn_advertisement
$_phpinclude_output

There are usergroup permissions with this hack so you can control who sees what.

Just put your donators in a different usergroup and then play with your vb ad management settings. I have it to where my "pro membership" subscribers don't see anything.

I've had a browse through the pages and can't find an answer so can someone help me please.

All is installed and seems to be working fine, it's a great hack.
But...
I'm having a slight problem. I'm displaying adsense ads, and have chosen for them to be displayed after the 1st post of every thread, and also every 5 posts after that.
The problem is that the first post shows up fine, but no adverts show up for the every 5 posts after that. The box is there but no adverts are in it.

Can anyone help please. The site is www.allcorsa.co.uk for anyone who wants to check.

1) Edit the footer_advertisement template or move the placement of $footer_advertisement

2) Not really, no.

Anywhere you like. Just change it if it doesn't look right.
