How Do Place Advertisements on Vbulletin Forums

Hi,

I have vbulletin forums just installed on my server on my site and i am having trouble placing ads in the forums! Please refer to my screenshot for more information: http://www.secretstotraffic.net/FORUMPIC.JPG
If anyone knows how to do this please give me a rough idea on how to do this please ......

Regards

 

I don't have a vB license anymore, but I believe this should be correct:

Go to your Admin panel, look for the navbar template in your theme and add ads to the bottom of the code.

 

Don't add them to the navbar, place the code in the 'Ad Location Template'.

These are the locations you can use...

ad_footer_end
ad_footer_start
ad_forumdisplay_afterthreads
ad_forumhome_afterforums
ad_header_end
ad_header_logo
ad_navbar_below
ad_showthread_beforeqr
ad_showthread_firstpost

More information on them here...

well actually my forum is run on vbulletin version 3.6.8

 

not version 3.7

 

Open the FORUMHOME template and look for the following code:

$navbar

Code (markup):

Place your ad code below this.

You might want to do something like this...

<div align="center">
<!-- ad code -->
</div>

Code (markup):

 

Isn't there an option in vbulliten that will allow you to add banners in? I thought there was? If not I know that editing the above files will work fine, its just a pain in the 'arse' to do it that way.

 

I want to be able to place this on all pages of the forums!

 

If you want to place this code on all pages of the forum, place the ad code below the $navbar code in the FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY and SHOWTHREAD templates.

 

It worked good on firefox, but not IE, please check forums.internetsecrets.com.au

 

if u know how to open navbar template
then open it and put your code .u can use htm,html.php put if u try to add swf "flash" u need more code to put it
what u wanna add??

 

I have already placed the advertisements on the forums .... It worked the way i want on Firefox but did not work good on Internet Explorer!

 

It looks ok for me, not got FF on this PC so can't compare.



If you want to add a blank line...

Code (markup):

 

I want the the ads stuck together on one stanza .... see it works in firefox but not IE : click here

Try this...

<tr>
<div align="center">
<td class="alt1">
<iframe src="http://www.internetsecrets.com.au/Advertise/image.php?size_id=25" width="468"  height="60"  scrolling="no" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"  marginwidth="0" vspace="0" hspace="0"><br><font size=-1></iframe>
</td>
<td>
<iframe src="http://www.internetsecrets.com.au/Advertise/image.php?size_id=24" width="468"  height="60"  scrolling="no" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"  marginwidth="0" vspace="0" hspace="0"><br><font size=-1></iframe>
</td>
</div>
</tr>

Code (markup):

 

nope did not work it still was under each other, i wanted the ads stuck together on one line like in firefox, (in the above image)

 

Try this :

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <th scope="col"><iframe src="http://www.internetsecrets.com.au/Advertise/image.php?size_id=25" width="468"  height="60"  scrolling="no" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"  marginwidth="0" vspace="0" hspace="0"><br><font size=-1></iframe></th>
    <th scope="col"><iframe src="http://www.internetsecrets.com.au/Advertise/image.php?size_id=24" width="468"  height="60"  scrolling="no" frameborder="0" marginheight="0"  marginwidth="0" vspace="0" hspace="0"><br><font size=-1></iframe></th>
  </tr>
</table>

Code (markup):

Tested in FF, IE and Chrome but should work in any browser.

 

Thank You, that helped me very much!

 

you can use ad-management mod instead of all the hassles
