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.

If you're sure you've done the postbit edit correctly then I'd go back over your settings carefully.

Thank you, I went over steps 2 and 3, but step 1 I missed the postbit edit.

Any updates on Adsense Revenue Sharing?

[RedTyger]

I ran into a problem or two doing it. But I've done most of it so I assume it'll be included whenever the next update is.

No estimates, done when it's done.

RedTyger,

Is there a way that we could make the side advertisements scroll down when users of the site scrollt down too? or is this not allowed?

[RedTyger]

Yes, but you'd have to edit the plugin and change it from using tables to divs. Plus it wouldn't work in IE 6 or below, cos it's crap.

[chrisbr]

Ahh okay then - heads up on IE being crap - i'll leave it for now!

Hello,

I've been following the instructions here, but I did not see a line that I was told to replace in the instructions:

v2.0 Find &nbsp; in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.

[RedTyger]

Just place it where you think best then, you can move it if it's not right. I can't help with custom templates.

I put in the code for an ad in the "footer_advertisment" underneath this text:

<div align="center">
$footer_adcode
</div>

<p align="center">


Ads are not working on my site though.
