Major Additions - vB Ad Management 4

vB Ad Management 4

Check the FAQ before requesting support!

What does it do?

Features include global settings, advertisements allowing template conditionals, ad sharing and ad revenue sharing, timed advertisements, preset popular ad locations and functions such as sponsors, additional custom ad locations, random and static advertisements and its all very easy to use. You can use it for ordinary ads like adsense, banner rotations, or any content at all as well as using it to manage ads outside your forum too.

You can read in more detail about these and other features in the manual, which also contains some helpful notes and instructions, as well as the installation and upgrade instructions



If you are using autoinsertion and were using vB Ad Management before version 4.00, you will need to remove your old template edits or advertisements will appear multiple times. Just reverse the old instructions below.

* Find <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu --> and paste $postbit_advertisement above it in your postbit & postbit_legacy templates.
* Paste $forumbit_advertisement at the bottom of your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates.
* Paste $threadbit_advertisement at the bottom of your threadbit template.
* Paste $footer_advertisement at the top of your footer template.
* Find $spacer_close in your footer template and below it paste $rightcolumn_advertisement.
* Find &nbsp; in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

ah ok any hopes of this getting corrected on next release?

[RedTyger]

No, like I just said...if someone is going to use an advertisement that's too big for the space they've got, that's up to them. I can't do anything about it. If you don't have enough space, don't use that advertisement. Simple as that.

Hi,

I am sure I missed something in the installateion, I managed to

PHP Code:

Find <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu --> and paste $postbit_advertisement above it in your postbit & postbit_legacy templates. 


How do I:-

1. Upload the product using the Product Manager.
2. And where is the install button on the download page for me to proceed with the download

Any help is appreciated......

Just a heads up to people who want their ads to work with other products like IBProArcade and such to use $GLOBALS[] in their style templates like

PHP Code:

$GLOBALS[footer_advertisement]

I have a problem. My site has 3 different styles, and I want the google ads, when showing, to blend into the styles background. At the moment, I have got the same ad on all the styles, which looks messy.

So what I want to know is, how do I restrict certain ads to a style?

Edit the (whatever)_advertisement template and change it to the following.

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['styleid'] == 1">
$(whatever)_adcode
</if>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['styleid'] == 2">
Your advertisement code for styleid 2
</if>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['styleid'] == 3">
Your advertisement code for styleid 3
</if>

Etc. You can't manage style-specifics from the AdminCP.
