Easy Custom Ads When AdFree.pbp (1.08 KB) V. 1.0.0

Got the idea from this thread



Description:
Easily setup custom ads on your forum when you're Ad-Free.

Your custom ads WILL ONLY SHOW if your ad-free, when your ad-free expires the ads no longer show automatically, so you won't need to worry about violating TOS for having your own ads along with the PB ads.

You must add these divs to your forum either via templates or headers/footers wherever you want your personal ads to display:

Top Banner Ads:


<div class="mytopads"></div>


Bottom Banner Ads:


<div class="mybottomads"></div>

How does it work?

This plugin simply checks to see if your forum is ad-free and if it is it will display your own custom ads on your forum, and when you run out of pageviews, or when the next month rolls around and you're no longer ad-free your ads will stop showing, to help prevent you from breaking TOS.

This actually looks like a really cool plugin

Hi ®i©hie I like the functionality of this plugin a lot thank you. Is there any way of getting it to rotate between banners - say if I put in three bottom banners have it display only one at a time at random (or in order)?

Thanks!

should be possible, just use a rotating banner code in the plug-in.

Okay so I have used proboards several years ago and I am learning this new side, I have this plugin and I have added the code to the template it shows up where I want it to but its just wording no pic nor can I paste a pic in the plugin how do I get an ad banner on the top in picture format and with a hyperlink to take you to a page or website?

Thanks for the help!

mvpds,

When asking for help in a plugin's (or theme's) support thread, it's always a good idea to tag the author. That being said, I'll tag ®i©hie so he gets notified.

[mvpds]

Thank you didn't even realize I didn't tag, just frustrated because I can't figure it out and Iam trying to get everything up and going and ready to go!

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Try this:

<a href="WEBSITE URL HERE"><img src="IMAGE URL HERE" border="0" /></a>

[mvpds]

Thank you for that, that helps. Now I need to know how to make them rotate if possible, I would like to have advertisers and banners, but I would like for them to rotate randomly.

I do have a forum sponsor and I want their ad to be static and on every page of forum?

Thanks for your help

Is there any way to set it up to have the Adverts setup to be shown to members of some groups and not to members of others? (I have a group of members on my forum who have donated to the running cost and promised them an Advert-Free forum as a reward)

In Plugins > Manage clicking on the Edit button next to a plugin on the list will allow you to change the permissions for the plugin. You can add the member group that isn't meant to see ads to the list of groups in the Except members in the groups option to prevent the plugin from running for members of that group.

Hi Brian.
You are quite correct   Because I saw the "Everyone/Members Only/Guests Only"  Radio buttons I didn't think to look at the Member Group options (dunno why - I have for all my other plug ins!)
Sorted now and working just as I need it - Magic

(PS.  Nor sure if I posted it or not, but a thanks to you for your Member Legend Plug-in   )

First, please do NOT post your email address, as it's against the forum rules. (edited to strikeout, as an Admin removed the email.)

Second, it looks like you've configured the plugin incorrectly:

proboards.plugin._plugins["easy_custom_ads"] = {
                                    version: "1.0.0",
                                    settings: {"who_can_see_my_ads":"all","top_banner_ads":"<div class=\"mytopads\"></div><script type=\"text/javascript\">\n    var vglnk = {key: '3cc4b54b422510773ee04422f1476ee1'};\n    (function(d, t) {\n        var s = d.createElement(t);\n            s.type = 'text/javascript';\n            s.async = true;\n            s.src = '//cdn.viglink.com/api/vglnk.js';\n        var r = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0];\n            r.parentNode.insertBefore(s, r);\n    }(document, 'script'));\n</scr"+"ipt>\n<div class=\"mybottomads\"></div>","bottom_banner_ads":""}
                                };

The <div class="mytopads"></div> and <div class="mybottomads"></div> are supposed to go into a template, header or footer - not into the plugin settings. On another note, I seen you've got one of my plugins incorrectly configured as well - but I'll tag you in the support thread for it (so as not to take ®i©hie's support thread off topic).
