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.

Kind of a pre-post as I can't use the browser debug feature up here at work, but heres a problem I have:

I went and tried to add Google Analytics to my site. I turned the feature on and added the code, but now upon going to a forum page I get Line errors:
Line 1: Invalid Character
Line 1623 (or 1622 when refreshing): object expected.

I am using a custom template...could this be causing the issue?

[RedTyger]

Sounds like Google was possibly down at the time. Object Expected means the javascript is missing a function or external insert.

I have a custom theme with blocks to the left of my forum. I have a box already for ads, will I be able to insert code into my custom box to display banners? Or do I have to use the box that comes with this?

Thanks!

[RedTyger]

Removing everything except $leftcolumn_adcode from the leftcolumn_advertisement template and then deleting:

$adintegrate_lc = '</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>';
$str_lc = '$spacer_close';
$vbulletin->templatecache['footer'] = str_replace($str_lc,$adintegrate_lc.$str_lc,$vbulletin->templatecache['footer']);

from the plugin itself should allow you to do that without any aesthetic shennanigans going on. But if it doesn't then the customising is up to you. It can easily be done, but that does mean a little elbow grease.

<img src="MYPICTURE.jpg" alt="DESCRIBEMYPICTURE" />

[EricPSF]

Thanks RedTyger,

Another 2 dumb qns from a beginner

1) So where will this code extract "MyPicture.jpeg" from? In forum/image folder? Or in other word, where should i place my jpeg at?

2) For alt="DESCRIBEMYPICTURE" , I have to change it to "DESCRIBEmyjpegfilename"?

Thanks.

Regards,
Eric

Well, I could put a picture of me () in a folder of my vbulletin directory called banners, which I had created inside the default images directory. The image is called redtyger.jpg so the src would be it's location which is src="images/banners/redtyger.jpg. I can put anything I want to describe it, that's all it is a label. <img src="images/banners/redtyger.jpg alt="This is a picture of me." />.
