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.

"After a while" as in it just randomly started working, or you messed with it enough that it started working?

I keep holding Shift+refresh and after 10 times or more, it starts to appear... I cant give you a definately yes it will still cont to work, cos my vbulletin skin is under development and I have shut the forum down for awhile.

But I will monitor it and let you know. Hope yours work too!

RedTyger: Can you help me with these 2 questions?

1) How do I modify the settings such that after 20 posts later, the adsense code will be shared?

2) Is there a way to make it such that when the user login, he will never be able to see his own shared adsense appearing, this is to prevent him from clicking it accidentally and causing google to think he is frauding the system, which result him in a ban

Thanks for this plugin! I have clicked installed!

1) Set up a usergroup promotion (standard vBulletin feature) that will move users from Usergroup X to Usergroup Y after 20 posts. Then add Usergroup Y to the Ad Sharing enabled settings.

2) That's not possible. If enough people tell me it will be an issue I'll look into it, although I'm not sure how Google will determine that it's being abused based on that.

[milsirhc]

Thanks. Created new group and see how it goes after the promotion.

2) Google track fraud click by looking at the IP address of the clicker (I think), if the login IP address and the clicker IP address are the same too many times, than it will ban the user.. this is a major issue.. but not sure whether will they be much modification of code in your plugin..

but.. if it's easy for you.. pleaaaaseeeee implement it!

Thanks buddy!

You have chosen a delimiter, yes? In Global Settings, 2nd option down? You also have to do the same in Ad Sharing settings, 2nd option down. They both have a default already though...

[milsirhc]

Strange, for some reason I only have delimiter options in global settings but not adsharing settings... do you know why?

I upgraded the product and select overwrite.. did I do anything wrong?

Appreciate your prompt reply!

[RedTyger]

It's called "Adcode replacement" in Ad Sharing, although it does essentially the same thing. The default option should be #shared#, it can't be blank.
