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

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.
This was after I posted this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=212

RedTyger does not seem inclined to help me... I have had his advert link on my site for a couple of months now, but cannot get his software to work. If anyone can help me diagnose this, I would appreciate it.

In my case, need put "$vbam_location[name]" to the header template for top header banner display.
To get the ads to show on the right side of the header on my forum I had to add two table cells next to the logo cell. The included locations did not put the ad on the right margin. This is in the header template.

This is what I added to get the ads to show on the right side. There is also a spot in the center by I am not using it. ad_location_1 & _2 will show up in the drop downs of the Ad Manager.

WARNING: I am a relative virgin at this but can reverse engineer stuff I see so use my change with caution.

Key:
Existing code shown for reference point.
Code I added

Code:
<tr>
	<td align="$stylevar[center]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
	<td align="$stylevar[right]" id="header_right_cell">
		<if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />
</if>
	</td>

<!-- added by cmmguy -->
        <td width="33%">
             <p align="center">
             $vbam_location[ad_location_1]

        </td>
        <td width="33%">
             <p align="right">
             $vbam_location[ad_location_2]

        </td>
<!-- /added by cmmguy -->

Note: I do see the other code in there for the right side banner ad but it just kept pushing that ad to the bottom of the header and never to the right side like I though it should.

I cant get the banner ads to rotate on the scheduled interval. I have AJAX working properly on my site(everything else AJAX works).

Does anyone have any luck with that? If so, could you share your settings or have any idea why mine is not working.

I have tried both embedded multiple ads separated by the "|" (but I actually saw that as for random ad showing more than for rotation) and I have tried an ad link to a my Openx account

Thanks

Here is what I have on my site that works in the HEADER

PHP Code:
<a href="http://sharetrails.org"><img src="PATH IMAGE1" width="468" height="60" alt="Join The BRC, Fight the Good Fight" border="2" align="" /></a>
|
<
a href="http://www.amadirectlink.com/"><img src="PATH IMAGE 2" width="468" height="60" alt="Join The AMA, Preserve your right to ride" border="2" align="" /></a>
|
<
a href="http://www.melissaparis.com/"><img src="PATH IMAGE 3" width="468" height="60" alt="Malissa Paris, Professional Road Racer, help support and visit this Racer" border="2" align="" /></a
the path to the images is where ever you are storing images aka
(/images/ads/image1.jpg)
or
"http://domain.com/myimages/imige1.jpg"

It is fairly straight forward

Has anyone had the problem where they installed the software, set their settings, and had no ads show up anywhere? What was the culprit?

In Global settings, you have two choices

Enable advertisements for usergroups:
&
Do NOT enable advertisements for usergroups:

You also have a choice to disable per script, allowing certain pages not to display adverts
Do NOT display advertisements for scripts and software:

There are also conditionals you can use for each add if the global is to restrictive. See Manual under conditionals
