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.

* 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.

I get exactly the same problem, wierd thing is the footers doesnt show in the default style either and I haven't even changed any templates in their. So I have to keep Google Analytics tracking off for the footer to appear.

Any fix for this?

[RedTyger]

Unfortunately I don't actually use any advertising myself so I don't have access to the code to test on.

However! The file attached to this post should, I hope, fix both the problem with the Google Analytics code causing problems with the footer and the Google Adsense code that wouldn't show up. I can't test myself, so if anyone would like to be a guinea pig...just overwrite your existing product with this one.

Red, I like this mod. I already installed it and everything is running good with both 3.5 and 3.6. I use header and footer ads alot, I have a few forum sections I would not want the ads to showup in. I see that there is no way in the admin cp to turn the header and footer of for certain forum ids? Why is that? Is there a easy fix to where I can have them shut off?

I already clicked installed.

There are few settings per location simply because it would make both the settings and the code itself insanely complicated. If you have something specific you want to do, it's best to do it just by editing the template.

Try surrounding the entire footer/header_advertisement templates with:

<if condition="!in_array($GLOBALS[forumid], 5,6,7)">
REST OF TEMPLATE
</if>

where 5,6,7 is the IDs of the templates you want to exclude. If that doesn't work, try surrounding the $footer_advertisement value in the header/footer template with the code. Or finally failing that, try replacing $GLOBALS[forumid] with $forum[forumid] or $foruminfo[forumid].

Can't remember which will work, but one of them definitely will.

I ended up putting the header code at teh bottom of the navbar templete. would your new code here make a difference?

[RedTyger]

Nope.

[korny]

So you are saying this code will work the same as if I had it in the header templete?
