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

This modification is supported with a link back to my homepage in the footer. Unbranded is per vBulletin license to be used with, see here for details.

Hi, ive successfully added ads to my forum footer.

I also want to use the same adcode on the redirect page.

I added a custom adblock, pointing at the STANDARD_REDIRECT template.
I have tried using 'bottom' as the location, as well as editing the template to add a custom field $vbam_location[ad] but either way I cant get the ads to show.
The actual ad code is the same as is working in the footer.

Any ideas?

There seems to be major conflicts between this product and vBSEO. both are staples for vBulletin.

Redtyger, have you tested your latest release with vbSEO?

[mykkal]

Red Tyger, do you do paid installations? i'm thinking I need someone to troubleshoot this conflict for me that knows the product better then me.

Question: I have multiple banner style ads I want to install in the navbar section. I want the ads to show one at a time. Your instructions state to: "Paste the code for your advertisements here. To construct an array of advertisements from which one will be randomly chosen for display, separate each of your advertisements with your delimiter."

I have no clue what a delimter is or how to break the code bewtween the ad codes to make them display seperatly (random) and not all at once. Thanks in advance.

Hey RedTyger,

Would it be possible to make the following additions to this mod:

For example if you have 5 ads in one space for rotation and you want ad1 to show 50% of the time, would there be some other option then having to paste ad1 5 times and the other ads just once each?

Thanks

Great! So happy to see this released!

Just have one question. When the branding is added to the footer, it's added in line with the forum copyright information.

I can't figure out how to get it to move to the next line. Can anyone direct me on how to do this?

One more question: If I wanted to add a link to let folks know that they can get rid of the ads by registering, is that a function that might be supported by this plug-in or would I be better off adding that notice via another plug-in and making it visible only to those individuals who are not registered?

Thnx.

ok, tried to get the brand free version but it said i should register at the site first. Can't find where to register, can you please point me in the right direction, thanks!
