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.

I want to show a header ad ONLY to non-registered/not logged in users.

If I Enable Usergroup 1, and only usergroup 1 in vB Ad Management, then the forum post ads don't show up even though they're housed in the the Forum Ad Manager > Posts section. When I only enable non-registered, they still see forum and thread ads though ...

Question: How can I Enable only one ad type (header) for one usergroup without the rest of the ads being affected?

Here's a quick word-diagram to show what I'm looking for.

non-registered/non-logged-in : See all ads
Registered normal user: See all ads except for the header
Registered Sponsor: Don't see any ads except for Private Message and email.


Update: The "Search" ads still appear for the thread ads regardless of who's enabled/disabled for usergroups, that's something that threw me ...

Can anyone rearrange this modification? I think that lot of us are willing to pay for this mod but with supports and updates.

Work-around solution for this issue
I'm going to use the Notices feature to show the the header image that I spoke of and then turn on the ads as they appeared before and then cut down the number of ads in general so they balance better and will help me earn the eCPMs that I am looking for.

Red Tyger did this before. When will people learn? Why does vB.org even let him post broken hacks? As a matter of fact, it's very foolish for anyone to install unsupported modifications. If you don't want to support your hacks, coders, then don't post them. No glory allowed unless you work for it.

well it did work at one time. nothing against him (Redtyger). i jist don't want people installing broken hacks. at one time it was supported. I don't understand why vb.org doesn't monitor these hacks.

Hey,

I forgot the code to input next to my image code, for if I want to show a particular banner only to a certain usergroup. Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks!

I sure would have liked to use this mod.

I installed and things seemed to be working - until I tried to post, reply, or quick reply.

When I moved my mouse pointer to the empty text box to type a message, the cursor would not appear and I could not type anything. The only way I could get it to work was to RIGHT-click, select all, and then left click so the cursor would show up so I could type.

What's strange is until and if I can get the cursor to show up in the text box, I could see the pointing hand flashing as if there was what I would call 'hotlink overrun'.

Anyone have any ideas how to check and/or fix this?

How about a suggestion for another advertising mod that works well and will allow me to:

Rotate banners all over site, except certain forums where I want to place fixed banners in those certain forums.
