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.

RedTyger this is a great add-on. however can we also have the option to select which usergroups can be served ads within posts,PM's and announcements.

I am suggesting to kind of move/migrate this Usergroup ads showing permissions from Global Settings into each of these particular settings (header&footer, threadbit&forumbit. posts,PM's&announcements,left&right,)

Maybe this is too much work , but just throwing an idea.

Thanks

You can do this yourself by using template conditions in the xbit_advertisement templates. Surround the contents of the template with:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4,5)">
Contents of template
</if>

Just change the numbers to the usergroups you want to deal with. Any template conditional may be used in the _advertisement templates.

hi,

is there anyway I can add an adsense sharing advertisement within a user first post?

Ie: in the postbit (left colum: user profile, center column: post content, right column: adsense)

Is there a way to implement this? I tried putting a adsense code with #shared# directly but it did not work.

RedTyger have you seen my post about multiple banners being shown in header and footer?

Your adcode is wrong. Certainly you're separating it with the wrong character (currently a ,) when you should be using the custom delimiter (Global settings) to separate ALL settings and adcode.

Try moving $postbit_advertisement in the postbit template to immediately below the post (called $post[message] or something like that I suppose). You will also have to adjust the postbit_advertisement template to suit yourself. Don't know how well it will work, not tried.

Thanks RedTyger,

I want to right side where it's similar to http://forum.hardwarezone.com/showth...6#post22837686 rig spect section.

Does anyone here knows how to do it? Pleeeease guide me!

[milsirhc]

Fixed it.

Thanks!

I notice something.. not sure if it's a bug.

I put 100% (enter as "100") chance for the thread starter adsense to appear but if I logged out.. and come in as guest. I will still see the admin adsense ID only.

But if i logged in, I will see the thread starter adsense 100% of the time.

Do you know why?
