Add-On Releases - Advertisement System V2.6 Aka Ad Management

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.

Not sure if this has been asked or not. How do I get the ads to display in the upper right hand corner. Instead of the center of the page in the header? I don't mind them in the center on the footer. But I need the ones in the header to be in the upper right. Is it a simple code alignment issue or something more complex? Thanks.

above :

<td align="$stylevar[right]" id="header_right_cell">
		<if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />&nbsp;</if>

add :

<td align="$stylevar[right]">$ad_headerEnd

Thanks, that worked but it made it so you had to scroll to the right and it placed 2 ads. One where I wanted it in the corner and one in the default location.

This works better than other codes I've tried but I don't want the boxed look in the left column that this places. Please look at our ad layout on our forum and tell me if it's possible to remove the box your mod places so that the ad simply lays into the background color with no borders like ours currently does:

Ok I've found that the banners for the forumhome edits (the left and right columns) doesn't work correctly with the templates if your site have a fixed width. You have to use percentages otherwise it will distort the template no matter what style you use. Anyway to fix this?

[aztecboi2003]

Also is there a way to get 2 ads to display in the left column on the Navbar left & right columns? That way 2 ads would fit nicely down the length of my forums. Thanks.

by using <br><br> instead of the | it works the way I want it.

You really should try to do it yourself. It's a great learning experience. Turn off all other distractions, TV, Radio. Just go slow and read everything over and over if need be. Always save a copy of any templates you edit before you edit it. Once you get the hang of installing and editing things, it will come fast. Good luck.
