Simple Ad manager for Vbulletin

[JFS]

greetings,

this have some limitations but it does do the work - it is the one i'm using at the moment - although it may not be the best way to do it.
it was done is like 10 mins so don't expect much stuff

the adsense_728x90.php and adsense_468x60.php contains the code for adsense for my case, just create a new file copy and paste your code and save it.

demo: www.sotaopt.com

For VBulletin

in the globals.php add this

srand( microtime() * 1000000);
//if you have 5 ads you shoud change this into  $var = rand(1,5);  and add the case's
// makes a random number from 1 to 2
$var = rand(1,2); 
switch($var)
{
     case 1: $ad="ad/adsense_728x90.php";
             $title_ad= "Google Adsense";
             break;
     case 2: $ad="ad/adsense_468x60.php";
             $title_ad= "Google Adsense";
             break;

}
ob_start();
include($ad);
$show_ads = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

in your template you can call $show_ads to show the ad
i loved the way NP put the ad on the forum tops so i'm using a similiar one hehehe

on the template

<div align="center" style="border: 2px dotted #CCCCCC; background-color:#EFF1FA;">
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="3" bgcolor="#EFF1FA">
<tr>
 <td align="left">
 <strong>$title_ad</strong></td>
 <td>
 <div align="right">
 <font color="#999999">Forum Sponsor</font>
 </div>
 </td>
 </tr>
  <tr>
   <td colspan="2" align="center">
$show_ads
   </td>
   </tr> 
</table> 
</div>

i don't know if this will be usefull for someone but here it is...
