This hack allows you to choose different keywords for different forums, allowing you to display differen eBay ads on a forum by forum basis. SO, with this hack, every forum (and the threads in it) will display ads according to the keyword you set for that forum.
Installation:
Step 1 (Upload the Files): - Upload the AdminCp and Includes folders to your server.
Step 2(Upload the Product): - Go to your AdminCP.
- Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Click [Add/Import Product] -> Select the file 'product-auctionads.xml'.
- Click 'Import'.
Step 3(Adjust Settings): - Go to your AdminCP.
- Scroll down the list until you see the 'Forum Keywords for AuctionAds' options. Click that and then click 'Keyword Options'
- Click Yes to activate the system
- Set a default keyword
- Choose a keyword(s) for each forum you chose and click the enable button for that forum. (if you dont choose a keyword, the default keyword you set earlier will be used)
Step 4(Add AuctionAds Code to Templates):- Get your AuctionAds code for the ad size you choose.
- At the begining of that code add this line:
<if condition="$vbulletin->options['auctionads_onoff']">
- And at the end of the code add this:
- Find the line in the code: auctionads_ad_kw = "";
- Replace that line with: auctionads_ad_kw = "$auctionads_keywords";
- Now open your forumsidplay and showthread templates and insert the amended AuctionAds code wherever you want the ads to display. (one common placement is immediately after $navbar in the template code.
Your auctionAds code should look similar to this when you place it in your templates.
<if condition="$vbulletin->options['auctionads_onoff']">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
auctionads_ad_client = "YOUR AUCTIONADS PUBLISHER ID";
auctionads_ad_campaign = "YOUR AUCTIONADS CAMPAIGN NUMBER";
auctionads_ad_width = "728";
auctionads_ad_height = "90";
auctionads_ad_kw = "$auctionads_keywords";
auctionads_color_border = "CFF8A3";
auctionads_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
auctionads_color_heading = "00A0E2";
auctionads_color_text = "000000";
auctionads_color_link = "008000";
