Major Additions - vB Ad Management

This modification allows you to add advertisements to your vBulletin software. It's very easy to use, very quick and allows almost unlimited customisation. There is no restriction regarding the content you can use. Adsense, images, flash, plain text and you can use template conditionals and phrases as well. It will put anything, anywhere. Just about.

Features:
- Timed ads.
- Self-refreshing ads.
- Ad rotations.
- Ads using conditionals, phrases and templates.
- Ad sharing.
- Default ad blocks (typical ad block screenshot attached) for all the most popular locations plus another 25 custom blocks.
- Default ad blocks for some of the most popular alternative formats; columns, full-page, sponsors.
- Ads for distributed content (emails and feeds).
- Instant previews before publishing.
- No template edits necessary.
- Compatibility with external pages and software.
- Appearance blending to make your ads look like part of your vBulletin templates.
- Alter hyperlinks to include your referral codes.
- Further details in the manual.

For software-specific management (i.e. threads on a forum, comments on a blog) and/or ad (revenue) sharing you will additionally need the appropriate module.

Additional modules:
Forum
Blog

Not as far as I know, but they have a habit of turning up unexpectedly. I'll remove the beta tag when bug reports stop.

thanks for the reply....

Can you tell me how I can move the ads in the right column down and over a little

[RedTyger]

Add <br /> above the new code you pasted in. Add more <br /> if it needs spacing further.

I am getting this error now when i am using this with ibproarcade.

with gzip off in vb admin panel, i get
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/vb_ad_management/cache_templates.php on line 67

if i turn gzip on, i get a content encoding error?

any ideas

Thanks

That file doesn't exist in the 5.xx version, sounds like you still have parts of the old vB Ad Management running. Have a re-read through the upgrade instructions in the manual.

Very nice mod.

Since update to 5.01 none of my ads are working. Footer advertisement even breaks my style (it is or rather *was* javascript). Adding a simple text didn't display either.

Header advertisement just doesn't display anymore.
Installed 5.01, imported settings from v4, installed forum addon, imported settings as well and uninstalled v4 via addons and plugins. Addiotional menu in ACP disappeared. Result is the one mentioned above. Previews are working fine for header and was well for footer ads.

Any hints?

Got vbSEO installed too, but wasn't able to find the file where fixes need to be made (not even sure whether this is my problem as deactivating vbseo didn't help either).

[RedTyger]

vBSEO problems are now fixed as far as I know.

Have a look if the ad templates can be reverted and revert them if so. They're all called advertisement_something.

[bezibaerchen]

Yepp, that did the job!

Thanks a lot for fast reply and help!

I had your previous ad management and used it to put a banner below the navbar, imported the settings to the new 5.01 and it showed two banners. I deleted the old ad management per instructions and now no banner shows up. I look at the banner preview in the cp and it shows up, but not on the forum? Any ideas?

I tried the template revert also, but no luck.
