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.

Well, the thing is that I'm trying to use the postbit_legacy ad location to show one ad code in a particular section and another for the rest of the forum (the ads are displayed as the last post in a thread).

So my code looks like this:

<if condition="$forumid == 22">
<div align="left">
{first ad script}
</div>
<else />
{second ad script}
</if>

But the conditional doesn't work, and both ads are displayed everywhere

Later edit: I also tried <if condition="$thread['forumid'] == 22">, but it doesn't work either.

you must edit ad_postbit_below if you want use the condition in postbit&postbit_legacy
just put the code in template ad_postbit_below betwen
<if condition="$thread['forumid'] == 22"> and </if>

So the end result would be:

<td class="alt1" align="center">
<if condition="$thread['forumid'] == 22">
<div align="left">
{first ad script}
</div>
<else />
		$postbit_ad
</if>
</td>

?

for postbit & postbit_legacy you have the ability to set more permissions like :

could you also make it to have it set after random post?

Thank you very much karim004 for sharing this add-on. Your hard work and generosity is most appreciated!

I do have a question on selecting an advert unique to a page much like Silviu here..

It would be realy nice to use a unique advert in the navbar between vBA Index, Arcade and classifieds. Is there an easy way to use a condition for a page?

Another idea is the option to exclud forum areas like private staff areas would be nice to. Again that's just an idea not a request.
