Major Additions - Forum Ad Management

This modification allows you to add advertisements to your vBulletin forum. It is a module that extends the functionality of vB Ad Management. 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.
- 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.

Unique to this module:
- Share your ad space with thread starters and posters.
- Default ad placement at customisable positions with forum listsing, thread listings, posts, announcements, feeds and "Send to a friend" and "Email member" emails as well as global placement for your forum archives.

Required plugins:
vB Ad Management

Other modules:
Blog

That's probably about it. If it's not enough, its modular format means you can extend it to suit yourself with comparative ease (relatively speaking).

vB Ad Management is supported with a link back to my homepage in the footer. This module does not add further branding.

Installation instructions:

Upgrading from an older version of vB Ad Management

Ok, i'm new to all of this stuff. I'm basically a 1st grader when it comes to this stuff, but trying to learn. A few questions, is this the program used to put small banners in forum categories like on this site http://www.rzrforum.net down where his sponsor/vendors are? Also, I have installed the program and those small banner's in the forum categories is what I would like to do on my site. I've looked around in the program and it's a bit over my head, so I need a crash coarse...haha. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it! I want to learn, but i've been scratching my head here.

I'm sorry, I've been unable to reproduce any of the issues you have reported.

The template hook issue was a bug in the main vB Ad Management plugin and has been fixed in the latest version.

maybe im just an idiot i dunno but whats the difference between the two hacks? i mean u got one vb ad managemewnt, that is set to control vb, and then a forum ad management,

well isnt vb ur forum? see thats where im lost

[RedGTiVR6]

I have this hack installed on our forums (along with the main hack - which works great btw)...but I can't seem to get any of the ads to show up IN the threads for some reason?

I have Enable posts advertisements set to yes. I have Adcode entered. I have tried the following hook locations: $ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_start] & $ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig] & even $template_hook[postbit_messagearea_start].

I've tried setting Enable "show posts" search advertisements? to both Yes & No, as well as setting Blend postbit advertisement template? to both Yes & No.

Any ideas?

Just a friendly bump for some friendly help on my issue above.

Try a vbam_hook, there were some issues at one point with vBulletin's ad location hooks conflicting with other content that tried to use the same hook.
