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

RedTyger,

You suggested that my settings could be wrong. I have described them below, but have not responded (though you have responded to other posts since). I have had this mod installed for weeks now, including the link to you in my footer, but the ads are not working for me. I do not want to uninstall, because I need the functionality, but I will have to uninstall it if I cannot get any help solving these technical problems. I realize you are busy, and I am not the only one requesting your help, but I think you are the only one who can help me right now.

The advertisement_rightcolumn template is the one I was referring to. I have since followed the instructions to make the right column visible, and it is still not visible. So, I look at the FAQ at http://redtyger.co.uk/manual.php?pro...lumns_location, and am not sure if it applies to me. I cannot find global.start.php anywhere in my forum's directories. And anyways, I am running with the default vBulletin template, with only minor modifications.

You suggested that my problems could be my settings. Here are the settings I am aware of that could interfere with showing the right-column, and the values I have them set to.
  • vbAdManagement->GlobalSettings->Enable Advertisments = Yes
  • vbAdManagement->GlobalSettings->Enable Advertisments for usergroups = 6 (Note that I am in group 6)
  • vbAdManagement->GlobalSettings->Do NOT Enable Advertisments for usergroups = BLANK
  • vbAdManagement->GlobalSettings->Do NOT Enable Advertisments for scripts and software = BLANK
  • vbAdManagement->Right Column->Force Right Column Width = 0
I also tried filling in $vbam_adcode[rightcolumn] as the text-box value for vbAdManagement->Right Column->Right Column Inclusion, and that didn't make a difference.

I also tried choosing different values from the drop-down menu for vbAdManagement->Right Column->Right Column Inclusion, but the only value that I ever see after saving is $ad_location[ad_footer_start].

Anything else you think I should look at?

I've installed the add-on, but I seem to be running into troubles with ad sharing. Default ads show up without problem. However, when a user posts a thread, their ads don't show up (the default shows up). I've pulled my hair out and don't know where to go from here.

I've created custom field5. To make it simple, my ad is #field5#. It ALWAYS displays the default, and not the user's field5.

Any thoughts on what I might be missing?

In reference to my problem above, I think I'm getting closer to understanding what might be the problem. Hopefully this will be able to get me a solution.

I added my google adsense code with #field5# in the publisher ID. I have also added my publisher ID to the default area in the event that field5 is empty. When I go to a page where the threadstarter has an accurate adsense ID in field5, the website pauses, probably about 5 seconds, then loads with the default ads instead. I've turned on debug mode for my user, but I don't really know what I'm looking for that will show me the error.

I've used AIN adsense manager, and it works well in displaying user's ads on their threads (yes, I know you are going to ask, I have disabled AIN). The issue, though, is that I want the ability to not just display adsense code. I like the ability to display other ads.

Do I need to set a conditional so that their ad is displayed upon their post? I don't think so, since the website pauses only pages with threads that weren't started by me. I believe the code is trying to display their ads, but it is failing and then defaults to display mine (remember, their publisher IDs are entered correctly because it works with AIN).

I'm in need of some guidance and expertise with this. This code has huge potential for me. If I can get it working, I promise a donation .

I can put ad in the header, but it only shows up under the logo (if I choose header end as location). But I want to put ads next to the logo. Ideally in the center of area to the right of the center of the header so to say... Any help on how to do that would be appreciated...
