vBulletin 3.x Forum (Site-Wide) Setup

Return To Ad Network Main Page

Create a file named ad_network_448.php in the main directory of your forum:

ad_network_448.php file:
Code
Ad Type: Ads To Display:
Display As: Separate Ads With:
Color: Use "nofollow" On Ads:
Sample (single ad):

You can receive a weight bonus for running more ads (up to 5).
Create an empty file named ad_network_ads_448.txt in the same directory. The web server user should have write permissions to this file. An easy way to set the permissions would be with the following command:
chmod 666 ad_network_ads_448.txt
In the Styles/Templates section of the Admin section, edit the SHOWTHREAD_SHOWPOST, printthread and footer templates, and add the following to it (somewhere appropriate):

footer:
$ad_network

Testing

Version you are using:
vBulletin 3.0.x
vBulletin 3.5.x
Download the vBulletin 3.5 product package by clicking here.
Import that product under AdminCP -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

In the Styles/Templates section of the Admin section, edit the phpinclude_start template, and add the following to it:

phpinclude_start:
include ('ad_network_448.php');

Add the following to your index.php file within your archive folder after the following lines:

<div class="pagebody"> <?php

index.php:
include ('ad_network_448.php'); echo $ad_network;
Once it's setup on your forum, request a validation of your site to get your ads into the rotation. If you need any help setting anything up, please visit the forum.
Feel free to change the name of the PHP and TXT file to anything you wish (you can even move it outside of your public HTML folder if you want... just make sure you reference it with a full file path in that case).
If you are running any similar ad network systems, they must be removed from your site in order to use the ad network (see terms of service).
