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.

Sure I put the example on the Header of the site:

the example
Site link: foroanime.com

#shared# = field6

Code:
Ad Sharing Adcode replacement -->#shared#

Banner:
Ad Sharing Adcode replacement --> pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks in advance!!

I refreshed about 10 times and I saw adsense and a few image banner adverts. It seems to be working fine from a Guest's point of view. Don't forget that the system does not permit you to see your own shared advertisements.

Hi RedTyger:

Thanks for the reply.

Yep, in this case the banner should say:
Ad Sharing Adcode replacement --> pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

but in the test times you saw on the header only:
Ad Sharing Adcode replacement -->

The banner code is: Ad Sharing Adcode replacement -->#shared#
but #shared# is giving me a blank result.

Don't forget that the system does not permit you to see your own shared advertisements.

Yep, I think on that, so I created another user and try surfing with other IP (just in case), and with other computer (just to be sure). But no luck.

The rest is working great, even the custom adv add on.

I turn off other plugs, but the result is the same. I can't figure out were is the problem. :erm:

If you like to check the Panel, just let me know.

Thanks in advance!!

Could you post here (or PM me if you want to keep it private) what you have put for the Header Adcode please?

Hi:

Try this:

<a href="http://www.domain01.com/"><img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/images/banners/banner01.jpg" alt="" name="banner01" width="480" height="60" border="0"></a>
|
<a href="http://www.domain02.com/"><img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/images/banners/banner02.jpg" alt="" name="banner02" width="480" height="60" border="0"></a>
|
<a href="http://www.domain03.com/"><img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/images/banners/banner03.jpg" alt="" name="banner03" width="480" height="60" border="0"></a>
|
<a href="http://www.domain04.com/"><img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/images/banners/banner04.jpg" alt="" name="banner04" width="480" height="60" border="0"></a>

Hi,

No, I meant the Header Adcode. Like what you just showed to cjddrum.

[QUOTE=RedTyger;1272273]Not much point reading all the thread, a lot of it is about old verisons anyway.

<a href="www.url1.com"><img src="bannerfolder/banner1.jpg"></a> |
<a href="www.url2.com"><img src="bannerfolder/banner2.jpg"></a> |
<a href="www.url3.com"><img src="bannerfolder/banner3.jpg"></a>

Thanks RedTyger - that worked perfectly!

I have noticed an issue re table resizing with my forum (still in test mode). When left, right or both columns are enabled with ads, when I click any of my forums from the main table, the main forum table changes to a smaller size, but I am not clicked through to the clicked forum straight away. Instead I have to click the forum a second time (on the smaller main table), then it goes into the forum.

I have a similar issue when I want to come UP a level out of a forum. I get a table resize, then after a 2nd click I can then go up a level.

My main table is set at 100%

If I switch off VBadmanagement, I do not have this issue.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue and can advise how to resolve?

VBAdmangement is a superb by the way RedTyger! I feel sure the above issue may relate to another setting I need make?
