Advert Management · **Released**: 05-25-2002

This is a script to allow you to manage the adverts on your forums, you can have any sort of advert you can imagine there is no actual limit with this hack to what it can be, javascript, flash, image, text and images.

You add adverts to a category or a forum or the whole board. If the category has child forums they will inherit the adverts as well as their own adverts if they have any.
Adverts can have a set exposure such as 10,000 views and once it has reached that it will stop.

It fills a variable called $advert which you just place in any template, such as the header, you can also use variables and replacements within the adverts, such as $bbuserinfo[userid] for the persons userid in a link within an advert.

Updated June 9th at 19:44 GMT

Added date limits and options for unlimited exposures.
To upgrade from an older version, reapply code in global.php, upload ads.php and run this sql query to alter the ads table you made.

[sql]ALTER TABLE `ads` ADD `time` INT(10) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;[/sql]

[sql]ALTER TABLE `ads` ADD `wholeforum` SMALLINT(1) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL;[/sql]
If you already run that query though are still experiencing problems with the time always being January 1st run

[sql]ALTER TABLE `ads` CHANGE `time` `time` INT(10) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL[/sql]

New features include showing the advert on the entire forum by using a radio button, some highlighting in the admin panel, italic name indicates the time period has ended and a bold name means the advert has met its quota for exposures.

You must chance RAND() to RAND(NOW()) if you have mysql 3.23.52 or above

Bump!

I cannot seem to find a good banner management and this is the one I like but I cannot get it to rotate the banners.

Please help us!

I was thinking about using phpadsnew and putting a zone in the head. I think it would work but the problem is you'd have the same for all forums. I've sold a non-rotation banner in one of my forums but from now on I want a rotation for the whole forum.

<sniff>

The problem is, PPN has shown time and again on these sites that he is a great coder. I think right now he has alot on his plate.

He has also been working pretty hard on VB3....hopefully sometime soon he will pop in and fix our problems

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
