Major Additions - vB Ad Management

This modification allows you to add advertisements to your vBulletin software. It's very easy to use, very quick and allows almost unlimited customisation. There is no restriction regarding the content you can use. Adsense, images, flash, plain text and you can use template conditionals and phrases as well. It will put anything, anywhere. Just about.

Features:
- Timed ads.
- Self-refreshing ads.
- Ad rotations.
- Ads using conditionals, phrases and templates.
- Ad sharing.
- Default ad blocks (typical ad block screenshot attached) for all the most popular locations plus another 25 custom blocks.
- Default ad blocks for some of the most popular alternative formats; columns, full-page, sponsors.
- Ads for distributed content (emails and feeds).
- Instant previews before publishing.
- No template edits necessary.
- Compatibility with external pages and software.
- Appearance blending to make your ads look like part of your vBulletin templates.
- Alter hyperlinks to include your referral codes.
- Further details in the manual.

For software-specific management (i.e. threads on a forum, comments on a blog) and/or ad (revenue) sharing you will additionally need the appropriate module.

Additional modules:
Forum
Blog

Fix/Solution for vBSEO Problem:

it started working (not sure if that's the best way to resolve the issue in that mod though).

THIS WORKS!!!

Hey guys, I get this:

Fatal error: Class 'vbam_forum' not found in /home/riccardo/domains/alizee-forum.com/archive/index.php(267) : eval()'d code on line 8

What is this about?

That's from the forum module, or should be. It means the file that goes in the includes folder is missing.

One bug we've run across, the option Allow HTML in shared adcode does not work when set to YES, as HTML is not parsed.

"Does not work" is a small understatement, I forgot to put the code back in for it. Duly noted for the next update.

For some reason my edit button would not work any more, until i disabled this mod. Any ideas???

[GoTTi]

dunno if im doing something wrong or dont understand this thing....

i just installed this, put the ad in the header, enabled the header ad, and nothing is showing. am i suppose to do something special? put a $header_ad or something in a template or is this auto insert?

i tried it in the header, didnt work. i tried it with PM's and nothing as well.

The auto refresh doesnt work, and on IE on the bottom left is shows errors so I searched the lines that were causing errors (3 of them) it states it as a syntax error

<script type="text/javascript">setInterval(function(){recreatead("header", "ajax.php", , "header")}, 10190)</script>

it appears to have to do with the auto refresh, which explains why it dont refresh.

so I found the code in the php file but not sure how to fix it

return '<script type="text/javascript">setInterval(function(){recreatead("'.$adcode_name.'", "'.$file.'", '.(string) $is_bit.', "'.$setting_name.'")}, '.$refresh.')</script>';

or could it be the

function recreatead(id, file, is_bit, setting_id)

thats in the .js file?

Can you double check if its the code or a setting that went wrong?

Thanks

Excellent detective work, that certainly is the problem. Try this, I can't test it at the moment:

FIND:

function refreshad_js($adcode_name, $file, $is_bit = false, $setting_name = '')

REPLACE WITH:

function refreshad_js($adcode_name, $file, $is_bit = 'false', $setting_name = '')

FIND:

// Avoid getting stuck in a loop if the value is no good.
if ($vbulletin->options['vbam_'.$setting_name.'_refresh'] < 10)
{
	return false;
}

BELOW, ADD:

// Force boolean string conversion more effectively.
if ($is_bit !== 'false')
{
	$is_bit = 'true';
}

FIND:

'.(string) $is_bit.'

REPLACE WITH:

"'.$is_bit.'"

Hehe it is my field of interest

anyway that did fix the syntax errors , now it does refresh but the new problem is that when it refreshes it just disappears so for example I see the first ad for 10 seconds and then it goes away, and I am separating the ads using the "|" delimiter.

Any clue?

Thanks
