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.

All the instructions are there, you can then adjust some of the areas to have titles, take a look at http://www.thecodecage.com at the bottom of the page you will see "The Code Cage Affiliates" instead of "The Code Cage Advertisments"

thxxxxxxxxx dear & it's working............

You will see in the Advertising System options (VBulletin options) something like this limit who sees the ads:
Do NOT display Postbit advertisements to Usergroups:
IDs of the usergroups who will not see the Postbit advertisements, separated by |
Just add the usergroups id who you do not wish to see the ads, there is also something similar below to explicitly show the ads to certain groups.

You will see at my site http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz that you can see the ads but other members who belong to different usergroups see ads in different places to you the unregistered user.

Newsoftw, which templates did you edit? and with what? Try turning the Autorefresh off in the Advertisement system (if you use autorefresh for google it could get your google account disabled!).
