Major Additions - vB Ad Management 4

vB Ad Management 4

Check the FAQ before requesting support!

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.

You can read in more detail about these and other features in the manual, which also contains some helpful notes and instructions, as well as the installation and upgrade instructions



If you are using autoinsertion and were using vB Ad Management before version 4.00, you will need to remove your old template edits or advertisements will appear multiple times. Just reverse the old instructions below.

* Find <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu --> and paste $postbit_advertisement above it in your postbit & postbit_legacy templates.
* 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.
* Find &nbsp; in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

I found the reason no copyright notice was showing - a missing closing tag above the line.

But now that this bis fixed, I have two copyright notices in the footer link - that's with the new global_start.php version uploaded.

If it helps, the two notices are slightly different:

1. vB Ad Management by =RedTyger=
2. vB Ad Management by RedTyger

On my site (www.pc-helpforum.be) sometimes i see 1, sometimes 2 or 3

they are all the same here
vB Ad Management by =RedTyger=
vB Ad Management by =RedTyger=

Ok thanks guys, I'll take another whack at it.

More information for you RedTyger:

I posted the above on June 2. On June 3, there were three footer links showing. Today, June 4, there are four:

vB Ad Management by =RedTyger=
vB Ad Management by RedTyger
vB Ad Management by RedTyger
vB Ad Management by RedTyger

I have changed nothing at all in the interim.

I'm afraid to see how many there will be tomorrow.

In the meantime, a simple solution to remove all but one of the copyrights, is to go to the general settings of the mod and turn it off, save and turn it back on.

Sure. Look at my forum. Can you spot which ads are managed by this add-on and which are not? No, of course not.

That's why there are screen shots. The add-on inserts banners where you want them. Period.

Sorry to post again. Maybe I was misunderstood.

I'm just to launch vBulletin. I've installed the hacks etc etc and building it up slowly. I even installed vB Ad Management and they feature in the vB options. I have still NO codes because I'm building the skeleton of my forum but I want to launch the forum without editing whilst members are entering. I just want the forum to run smoothly as possible.

1. I need sample codes to test - Example: This is an advert space here banner. ANyone please?

2. Once this code is entered in one of the boxes in vB ad, should the advert space be created immediately?

THANKS
