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.

admincp , style manager , your style , template postbit & postbit_legacy at the end
add

$ad_postbit_below

now go to vbulletin options , Advertisement System (Posts, PMs & Announcements) :

* Yes to have advertisements display with posts.
* Random advertisement code : If you want to use random rotations, enter your ad codes separated by |
and enable one of this options (( or all ))
Display advertisement after first post on a page?
Display advertisement after last post on a page?
Display advertisement every X posts?

Minimum thread postcount

I dont understand that
I installes and uninstalled now 3 times
I always have then all my ad location templated double

and also In the settings for the ad system
i dont see then a footer start or end
or navbar below.

I would need rotate banners exact after forums
and at footer start where you see 728 banners now
http://www.bonusparadise.com/forum/

Any idea why i get all ad templates doubled?

Thanks in advance
Marina

Superb.. it helps when you dont have to mess with the header/footer templates all the time to change your add.

I have some questions tho..

I have my banner for my site centred.. but if i use the setting & slideshow menu.. and put some ads in that.. it shfts my banner to the left..

Can i set a rotation using the Header & Footer menu ?

excellent mod but i got a question, im following the install guide for 3.7 but i keep running into siilar edits and im unsure what to do, im making the edits like it says but still i wonder why the similar ones are already there, like this

Originally Posted by The guide says

1= in top add : $ad_footerStart

but when i went to edit it this was at the top already

$ad_location[ad_footer_start]

see not exactly the same but close

[RedGTiVR6]

I've noticed the same thing Keyser.

It is quite confusing. I wonder if that might be part of the issue?

installation :
you know in vb3.7 we already have a templates group for advertisement we gotta use them in this mod and make things easy for you because you dont have to edit any template just import the product go to admincp , vBulletin Options , Advertisement System and click yes to Enable advertisements on your forum?

hope this helps

Well i did do that before also wrong
then uninstalled and remodified all templates again
and tried it that way without templ edites
and i still wonder why i get then all my ad templates once again

accually it doesnt cuz the question remains since the code is not the same will it still work, and if so then why was it made different in the first place?
