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.

Ok, I want it then

Btw, I just reinstall this, and now the slideshow is working.

I just browse to your demo site, and make the same path for the ads like you did in your site.

In the setting of Slideshow advertisement code, you have to make a folder in your forum root. The folder is "ad", this is for storing the animated gif file acts as the ads.

For example : slideshowcontent[0]=["http://your forum site/ad/animated file.gif", "http://link to the host site you want/", "_new"]

The strange thing is, it cannot do direct link from the other site for the slideshow ads, but you need to download the animated gif and put it in your "ad" folder in the forum root.

I did this without editing the template as instruction in the manual
It would be better if you can make it possible to just point the slideshow site path to the site you want to advertise.

Sorry for my bad english

*Installed.

it s a slideshow so all banners must be in same server (( yours )) if you set the pause (5 secondes )) and a banner hosted in a slow server like imageshark , photobucket there is a risque that the next banner will not show up .

I did this without editing the template as instruction in the manual :D

in vb3.7.x you dont have to edit the templates: header , footer & navbar

ah, I see. But the strange thing is, the banner folder should be named with "ad" only. Is it possible to make it more flexible, so that I can make any folder name for storing the banners ?

Btw, I have to edit my custom styles templates, as the slideshow didn't show up

One more thing, how to make the slideshow in the header align to the right ?

I'm not a coder, so sorry for my question :erm:

verino you can rename the folder mine it s (( banner )) in my test forum just make sure when you rename the folder , edit the the images links in admincp/vBulletin Options/Advertisement System (settings & Slideshow)/Slideshow advertisement code
for your 2 nd it s already in right side ! if you mean move it to another area just open your header template find and move :

<if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />&nbsp;</if>

Because when you update from 3.6.x to 3.7.x you did not revert all templates for your custom styles to keep the design

ah, yes. You're correct. I have to revert the header template 1st for the default, then the ads will be in the right side.

Thank's a lot

in version 2.2 you can auto refresh the Random Advertisement In Header & Footer Start (( below whats going on )) i know some poeple using this area for the Affiliates so it s gotta be a great option for them
you can see a demo for the auto refresh in header {reloads every 10 secondes } : Click Here

Feature Requests for 2.2

The ability to show adverts within other highly used mods such as:

Links and Downloads Manager for example between quiz downloads - here is a good example

ibProArcade display ads in blocks on Arcade homepage - see here

The above mods are very very popular but sadly it isnt easy to manage adverts on those pages. I think your mod would gain even more users if it could intergate with them.
