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

Is there any support for tracking how often a (non-google) ad is displayed or clicked on? How about any support for managing your inventory of ads and when then start/end and where they are displayed?
Thanks!
Barry
I'm afraid not, and it is not something I plan to add.

Does anybody here have the same problem like this? I wonder if i'm only the one who has problem with it coz i still have to hear from someone who's got the same issue. I wonder if anyone has a fix for this.

It's not an incompatibility, it's just where that modification is placed in the template. If I remember rightly you add $post_thanks_box or something to the postbit template. Cut and paste it above $postbit_advertisement instead. It will work fine.

Doesn't work in what way? Double check your template edits, settings and adcode. And make sure you're using the style you've applied the edits to. Try disabling other plugins if that doesn't work.
I've had just recently purchased and installed vBulletin and have added this mod to have banners and ads displaying.. But after following the instructions for installation, i've found that the banners only show up if you're logged in. So just visitors to the forum don't actually see any ads.. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
I would like to have the ads show up no matter if you're logged in or not..
I just did that with the html tags to center or right align the text..
I put <div align = right> and the </div> around the stuff. That seems to work fine.
<div class="smallfont" align="left">

Thanks for that.. Will that display the same as what was put in the header.. As in if I take out what i put in the header and put it into the Usergroup Global setting, it will display in the same place?
No no, Usergroup settings just controls which usergroups are able to see the adverts. Usergroup 1 is guests, so you can either leave the Usergroup settings blank so everyone can see the ads, or just add 1 to the list you already have there to include guests.

Thanks. I guess i figured it out. I've been looking at the postbit template and the post_thanks code was above the postbit_advertisement. Actually, it was in the Memberinfo template that i need to move the post_thanks above postbit_advertisement.
