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.

Great work so far. For anyone having trouble...make sure you have Disabled AdBlockPlus...it filters ads.php? by default (don't ask me how I know this... )

My question is: What is the best way to show different ads (in my case navbar) in different forums?

From reading this thread and testing it is possible to put something like this...

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(5,6,7))">
       $ad_navbarBelow
<else />
       <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">
               $ad_navbarBelow
       </if>
</if>

...directly in the navbar template and it works great. Only problem is that it's only showing whatever single ad I've put into the adcode section of this plugin. My goal will be to show different ads in different forums and on the forum index.

Seems like I should be able to use something like this directly into the adcode box in this plugin...

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(5,6,7))">
    <img src="banner1.jpg">
<else />
	<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">
		<img src="banner2.jpg">
	</if>
</if>

...but in this case the conditionals don't work and I just get two ads displayed. Any hints?

This seems like me missing something trivial.

thanks.

        </tr>
