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.

Honestly, this is a mess. The instructions make little if any sense. Are you supposed to install another mod before this one? Please provide step-by-step instructions in plain English. I'd like to have an ad management system, but can't do it unless someone can communicate the fineries to me. Don't hesitate to PM.

[D.Baker]

Where can I change the setting so that I use the $ad_footerStart location instead of the $ad_footerEnd that it uses when I put code in the footer code box?

[D.Baker]

Also, your copyright notice that you added has a triple space in it. It's like this:

"Advertisement System V2.3 By   Branden"

How can I edit this to get rid of the double space? I can't find it in phrases or templates. I also want to make it open in a new window, so it doesn't Hijack my visitors. Thanks.

Ditto. I agree.

Ads are showing up twice when ad rotation is on, without ad rotation on it will move it to the left. Center tag does nothing.

Good job! I was having the issue with the ads showing up twice as well. I read your post, then disabled the rotations and it moved it to the left.

I still can't get it to show up on the left side of the page at all...

EDIT: I did find that if you turn off 'Auto Refresh Ads' it will only show them once. Anyone else notice this?

[RedGTiVR6]

also, specifically where should the ads show up when you put them in the forumbit?

I've added the code and it doesn't show up any where that I can tell, but I could be looking in the wrong spot.

Another question: is there no way to add an adspot after the first post in a thread?

[tazzarkin]

This really is confusing, and no one answered my original question. :P

I don't know what pisses me off the most.

a) That you actually call yourself a coder or
b) That I spent 2 hours trying to make heads and tales of this mess you call a plugin.

The errors in this script is countless. I don't even know where to begin, but for anybody that is looking for a serious AD solution mark my words THIS IS NOT IT!

[gullim]

I installed this Mod, but no Ads are displayed! I haven't changed any templates, but i did it like this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....69&postcount=2

Why are no Ads displayed? Is there maybe a bug?!

[RedGTiVR6]

a bit more info is needed for anyone to help you.

Hi is there a way to restrict a particular ad only to be displayed a a certain forum.

Soccer Ad to appear in soccer forum only.
Entertainment Ad to appear in entertain forum only.

Thanks
