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.

Am I missing something? Where is this functionality located I have looked everywhere for it?

I'm using 3.8.4 and the footer link would be nice if it would just move down a line (I've tried <br /> didn't work)

EDIT: Seems I had to remove my own copyright text which isn't right and insert it manually. I'm gonna dig for his phrase and fix it myself I guess.

Alright here's a fix:

Go to Plugin & Products System -> Plugin Manager -> Edit vB_Ad_management_global_ads (global_start for hook)

Find:

$vbulletin->options['copyrighttext'] .= 'Ad Management plugin by <a href="http://redtyger.co.uk/" target="_blank">RedTyger</a>';

Replace with this:

$vbulletin->options['copyrighttext'] .= '<br />Ad Management plugin by <a href="http://redtyger.co.uk/" target="_blank">RedTyger</a>';

Volia! Much better looking IMO

Also for those who can't get it to work on 3.8, that's because you have to put the same thing within each ad spot like for instance...

I have this inserted in my header template:

$ad_location[ad_header_logo]

So I put this into the ad management settings for header (the box for header inclusion).

Volia it turns on!

Hope this helps.

No it does not.

[holocron]

for conditionals, the $forum variable always seems to come up blank. I also tried used

<if condition="$foruminfo['forumid'] == 67">HELLO</if>

as well as

<if condition="in_array($forum, array(67))">Hello</if>

with no luck. I've tested modifying the vB template manually and the $foruminfo['forumid'] variable works fine.

Any ideas?
