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.

Be careful you don't have ad blockers on. And of course you haven't excluded your usergroup from seeing ads.

I had the same issue, the header and footer ads were not showing up for me.
My footer ads only shows up when i enable "ads rotation", but my header is not showing up at all.

he talk about vb 3.7.X There is 5 non used templates : ad_header_end , ad_header_logo , ad_footer_end , ad_footer_start and ad_navbar_below

i just fix this prb by changing this 5 templates and to restore them you can run the upgrade.php or just wait till next vb relase because your forum dont use them

[Jeff_B]

I also can't get header, left column, right column, or nav bar ads to show. Only footer ads will show.

[Cooleyvol]

Will this work with multiple skins on the same forum? Multiple in that there are different color schemes, etc.

What about if I change to a custom template in the future?

hello karim,

where you been ?

besides the 5 non used templates you mentioned, in the default style > header templates, i see : <if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />&nbsp;</if>

Is this also done by your mod ?

Rgds.

Vbulletin options is at the top of the left side column. Open it up and select 'vbulletin options' underneath it. There are 5 advertisement options.
