A Quick Overview of the Ad Locations

[MrNase]

Are you tired of time consuming template changes with every update just because you sell ads to finance your server?

If the answer to that question is 'yes', please read further:

vBulletin 3.7 comes with 9 predefined locations for your ads. Placing an add is as easy as editing a template.

The 9 locations are called:
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


You can access these template like you normally access the other templates. Login to your AdminCP and go to the Style Manager. Edit your forum's style and look out for the 'Ad Location Templates'.

Just copy and paste the HTML for that ad (it might be a simple image with a link or Google Adsense or something else) to the Ad Location you want and you have the ad on your forums.

If you want to use the Ad Locations, here are the screenshots of where they are placed:

Stuck to be in a prominent location.

ad_showthread_firstpost is actually after the first post, so if you have more than one post you'll see this before the Post Reply button.

How can I access these ad locations? Are they variables and do I have to write a product? If, which is the right hook?

If not, where in admincp can I put code for these locations? Thank you.

Love it. This alone is worth renewing my licence. Makes updates so much easier as I do not have to hassle with updating templates.

[Chazel]

Another surprise! This is swell!

[MrNase]

I updated the post already.
