Advertisement System V2.6 Aka Ad Management · **Released**: 05-12-2008

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.

OK, to clarify, he means either / or... you don't want to use both sets of code in Forumhome and Footer/Header (for all pages): i.e. to show columns in all pages, you don't need the Edits in Forumhome (you may have done this from the install documentation).

The Right Column does work now though it still doesn't work right if you only want it in Forumhome. There are some horizontal spacing issues as well with the Right Column. I am starting to prefer the Left Column anyways, but I do have the edits in for the Right Column.

karim004, what I need help with is:

I want to have Left/Right Column support in all pages but when reading an individual Thread (Postbit?), I know what to do in ForumHome, but what do I need for the pages that just show the Thread List (threadbit?)... Again, I don't want to show the Left or Right Columns when Users are reading a Thread (posts) but I do want them on all other pages.

Thanks in advance!

hi turbe ,try this : in forumhome and forumdisplay
below :

Code:

$navbar

add

Code:

$ad_leftcolumn_code

Turbe · #**334** 07-13-2008, 06:28 PM

Also, that shouldn't be (for Left Column - FORUMHOME) or is that if only Above $navbar?

Code:

<br /><div>$ad_leftcolumn_code</div>

OK, I add that now, what about for the Right Column (good to have this information poster here for future Users/Search).....

EDIT: I did this:

for both FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY:

above $navbar

Code:

<br /><div>$ad_leftcolumn_code</div>

above $footer

Code:

<br /><div>$ad_rightcolumn_code</div>

Left and Right Columns now working in all but the Threads themselves (while reading Posts)...

Thanks.. :up:

can any one help me.

Thank you

I'm having the same problem! I looked for those line in the DEFAULT template and didn't find them. My version of VB is 3.7.2 and I just installed V. 2.3 of this plugin.

Any idea?
Thx,
Stephane

Agreed, what this mod needs the most right now is a completely rewritten set of instructions by someone fluent in English. I mean, there may be a bug here or there, but with such confusing docs it's hard to tell the bugs from the installation mistakes.

Really, it would be nice if you two could get together via email and partner on this.

Any ETA on this release?

I'm having all kinds of problems with the columns not showing up.

EDIT: the first post on this page (this post) has the fix that I needed.

This wasn't mentioned in the install instructions. Was it just left out on accident?

I've also noticed that I have to have the left column enabled to get the right column to show up. Since I don't have anything in my left column, this is a bit strange...lol

Hi,
I have been having a problem with the postbits ads in between posts. It only happens in IE (of course...), you know the UserName, when you click on it, you get a drop down menu with links to his profile and stuff like that? Well, every time there's an ad (using adsense btw) below a user's post, that drop down menu does not work, but the one below the ads work fine.
This only happens in IE 7, FF and Safari are fine. Does anyone else have this problem also? I am running vb 3.7.2 and ads management 2.3.

Yes, he PM'ed and asked but I still need to finish the documentation for my own Application.

I will monitor this Thread and try to help but if users have custom templates, I'm not sure how much time I will spend there...
