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.

Is there any reason that you are not utilizing the already default vbulletin ad hook locations?
It just seems a bit redundant to create your own ad variables when placing them at an already existent variable location

$ad_location[ad_header_end] === $ad_headerEnd
$ad_location[ad_header_logo] === $ad_headerLogo
$ad_location[ad_footer_start] === $ad_footerStart
$ad_location[ad_footer_end] === $ad_footerEnd
$template_hook[postbit_end] === $ad_postbit_below
$ad_location[ad_navbar_below] === $ad_leftcolumn_code
$ad_location[ad_footer_start] === $ad_rightcolumn_code

That would solve all template editing except for 3 being your forumbit and threadbit
but Im sure there may be a hook there also.
So you could simplify this Mod by using the default hook variables or by eval()
to hook each location with your own templates.
example:

PHP Code:

eval('$ad_location[ad_header_end] .= "' . fetch_template('ad_headerEnd') . '";'); 


If you need help with template hooks and hook locations for plugins, you can PM me.

I was asking myself the exact same question?!? Why not use the hooks already there?

Now, for the stupid question of the day (yes you can laugh at me I guess...):

What's the "Full Page" ads and where do they show up???

Thx for your time,
Stephane

Is there a way to make certain ads only applicable to posts within certain forum sections? I need to display ads that are relevent to specific sections. Is there a convenient way of doing this?

I am having a little bit of problems with my header ad.

I have it currently configured only to display to unregistered user group IDs. It is set NOT to display to all registered user group IDs. When I do this, all of the other ads (threadbit, postbit etc.) work fine except for the header ad.

Now, when I remove the specific user ID settings (for show and do not show) the ad displays fine.

Also, when i have specific user settings it has a big space where the banner should be, but no ad. Its strange, any ideas?

My site is www.necrotalk.com so you can see it for yourself, there is a blank spot at the top below the home | user cp etc. buttons.

Thanks for the suggestion! It is still displaying a blank space when visiting as a guest. Here are the user group IDs I have for display: 3|1|4|18|1

And I set do not display to blank.
