This modification allows you to add advertisements to your vBulletin software. It's very easy to use, very quick and allows almost unlimited customisation. There is no restriction regarding the content you can use. Adsense, images, flash, plain text and you can use template conditionals and phrases as well. It will put anything, anywhere. Just about.
Features:
- Timed ads.
- Self-refreshing ads.
- Ad rotations.
- Ads using conditionals, phrases and templates.
- Ad sharing.
- Default ad blocks (typical ad block screenshot attached) for all the most popular locations plus another 25 custom blocks.
- Default ad blocks for some of the most popular alternative formats; columns, full-page, sponsors.
- Ads for distributed content (emails and feeds).
- Instant previews before publishing.
- No template edits necessary.
- Compatibility with external pages and software.
- Appearance blending to make your ads look like part of your vBulletin templates.
- Alter hyperlinks to include your referral codes.
- Further details in the manual.
For software-specific management (i.e. threads on a forum, comments on a blog) and/or ad (revenue) sharing you will additionally need the appropriate module.
This modification is supported with a link back to my homepage in the footer. Unbranded is per vBulletin license to be used with, see here for details.
If I'm writing a PM to someone and a google ad is appearing in my header, I get "Page loaded but with errors" and the message wont send. I have a regular OpenAd which rotates with the google ad. If the Open Ad is showing, I receive no errors and the PM sends with no problem.
After installing this my showthred page messed up. Also the header adcode not working. In ACP the preview works just fine but in forum there is nothing!

I tried installing this. Immediately after loading the xml file I got these errors:
Warning: include_once([path]/includes/vbam_functions.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 2
Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '[path]/includes/vbam_functions.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in [path]/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 2
Fatal error: Class 'vbam' not found in /home5/stangsof/public_html/forum/global.php(400) : eval()'d code on line 3
Everything is different, I rewrote the entire thing. You can remove the above code, I've made a note of it for testing. I don't see anything obvious, but regular expressions often aren't.
One bug we've run across, the option Allow HTML in shared adcode does not work when set to YES, as HTML is not parsed. I have a small team of creative people I trust, so security is not a problem for this usergroup and it would be nice to give them some freedom.
