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.

I installed the Mod and configured it like here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....69&postcount=2
I haven't changed any templates. There is no error-message, it's like the mod isn't installed!

I added $ad_headerEnd to the header template, then the Ads are correctly displayed (not in the correct position, but are displayed!) So I think, the automatic template change doesn't work?!

Here is my header-template:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>

<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$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 />&nbsp;</if>
</td>

</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

hi ,
* 2 ads in header ! means you enabled the simple rotation and the auto refresh and i said you must use just one so go to admincp , vbulletin options , advertisement system {header & footer }} and make sure one of (( ad rotation & auto refresh )) is disabled .
gullim
thx for your reply . in v2.3 i changed 5 templates : ad_header_end , ad_header_logo , ad_navbar_below , ad_footer_start and ad_footer_end to fix 2 bugs :
1= in previous version ((1.0........to 2.2 )) if you uninstall this mod you can delete the 5 default templates and to restore them you must run the upgrade.php?step=4
2= if you upgarde your forum you have to re-import the product again !
thats why i created new templates to fix those 2 bugs .
for your question about the auto insert no

to center the ads just go to style manager , your style , ad_whatever and put the code betwen <center> and </center> .

i will post v2.4 this week with this new features :
* vb 3.7.x : give the abilitity to your members to add there ad or banner in memberinfo , group and album (( they can do control this via usercp ))
* ad a square ad {{ large 336/280 ,medium 300,225 ............ }} in left or right side in postbit , postbit_legacy , pms , announcement
* adsense sharing .

Hi,
Thank you for your answer, i added $ad_headerEnd to my header.tpl like this:

<tr>

<td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$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">
$ad_headerEnd
<if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else /> &nbsp;</if>

</td>


</tr>
</table>

but the ads aren't correct justified to the right side. Any idea what can I do ?

I've added the code and it doesn't show up any where that I can tell, but I could be looking in the wrong spot.

Another question: is there no way to add an adspot after the first post in a thread?

hi RedGTiVR6
when you add the code make sure you put the forumsid with which you want to display the random advertisements, separated by | example : 1 | 15 | 40 ...........
for your 2nd question yes you have this option in Advertisement System (postbit ))

Dr baker :
for the copyrith go to plugin manager , and edit Advertisement System - Ads in Header & Footer ! or wait i am gotta fix this in v2.4

for your question about ad_footerEnd and ad_footerStart edit template footer
tazzarkin
yes works with vbadvanced .

[RedGTiVR6]

thanks for the responses!

just one more issue left...I've added code for the left and right side columns, but they never show up. Any ideas why? I've tried messing with the settings, but I can't find a configuration that works for some reason.

Can anyone else get the side columns to show up?

[imported_FreDy]

I've got problems with this mod... the problem is that the footer ads don't show.

Is neccesary to activate the footer refresh? I think that the problems is there, if I activate the footer refresh seems that the ad would be there but it doesn't appear (there's space for it) and a error message:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/xxx/public_html/xxx2/autorefresh_footer.php
Line: 1

But if I don't activate the footer refresh the space for the ad dissapear and no error message appear. I really don't need the ad refresh...
