Did you try something like this?

I did, but it still rides to high in the section and interferes with the log-in. I need to be able to adjust the top and right side padding.

Hello friends.
A customer has complained that the statistics of Rotating Banner System and Gogle Analytics do not match.

The banner goes on ALL pages (impressions = 530.655) and Google Analytics says were visualized (142.962 pages).

Attach Photos. Can you help with the explanation?

Thanks

No idea if it's all related but maybe because Google does not have access to ALL pages, like PM's and member profiles where the banners are being displayed but not counted by google as google does not have access to those pages. Just a thought. And I'm sure pageviews and impressions are not related?

Thank you. I think in theory, pageviews and impressions are the same, but I hope they are not.

Anyone know if they are? Client pressures me

It depends on many things.

Basically, pageviews are how many times your pages are viewed. Any pages, with any content.

Impressions, from ad's point of view is how many time ad was showed on any of your pages.

So, it is really hard to tell if the two corresponds and how exactlly. You can have one ad showed on all of your pages two times. In that case, you'll have double impressions (for that ad) for pageviews. Or, ad could appear once in every ten pages, so you'll have 1/10 impressions for pageviews...

Thank you. This placed a banner I have it once in every page. For that reason think that should match.

To you match google analytics and rotating Banner System, for example?

Thanks again

hi,
I have installed the rotating banner system long ago, and the banner worked fine in the forum section -
see here s-maof.com/Forum
but now, for no reason the banners show up in the blog page also
see here - http://www.s-maof.com/Forum/blog.php

how did this happened?

[Ice UK]

I'm using this forum skin http://www.completevb.com/demovb4/forum.php?styleid=85

and as you can see there is a custom advertising space at the top of the skin.

The HTML for this ad space is this

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

My question is, is there any way to make this custom ad space rotating by adding a hook such as @vbbanners-custom@

Sorry if this has already been answered but I don't have time to go through 126 pages

I found a weired behaviour of the RBS, and I hope one can help me to figure out what to do.

I want to display a banner after every 5 and 10 Posts of a Thread. So I simply added one Banner Definition for Position2 and another for Position 3 and modified the postbit_legacy as follows:

<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '5')">
<div class="thread_controls">
<div style="width: 100%; text-align: center">
<!--@vbbanners:2@-->
</div>
</div>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '10')">
<div class="thread_controls">
<div style="width: 100%; text-align: center">
<!--@vbbanners:3@-->
</div>
</div>
</vb:if>


In most of the threads the banners are displayed as required. But there are some threads where not, and I have no idea why.

I tried to use the "show only in Forums" setting by selecting all Forums, as well as to select not one, because it's ok to show the banner in all forums.

I don't have a limitation on the usergroups, as all of them should see the banners.

I have absolutely no idea where there could be the difference between two threads in the same forum, where in one thread the banners are displayed and in the other thread not.

Btw., it doesn't matter if a thread has more than one page. If the banner is not displayed on page 1 of a thread, it's not displayed on page 23 of 45 neither. If it's fine on page 1, it's fine on the following pages, too.

Maybe one has an idea.

We're running VB Suite 4.1.11

[FrankP]

I'm wrong,

the way I described is only working on Page 1 of a thread, I want to have it on every page.

Our default "Posts per Page" is hardcoded to 15, and the users can't switch to another value.

Any idea how to modify the postbit_legacy to support what I want?

[FrankP]

UPDATE:

I did it now by using:

<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND (in_array($post['postcount'], array(5,20,35,50,65,80,95,110,125,140,155,170,185,200,215,230,245,260,275,290,30 5,320,335,350,365,380,395,410,425,440,455,470,485,500,515,530,545,560,575,590,60 5,620,635,650,665,680,695,710,725,740,755,770,785,800,815,830,845,860,875,890,90 5,920,935,950,965,980,995,1010,1025,1040,1055,1070,1085,1100,1115,1130,1145,1160 ,1175,1190,1205,1220,1235,1250,1265,1280,1295,1310,1325,1340,1355,1370,1385,1400 ,1415,1430,1445,1460,1475,1490,1505,1520,1535,1550,1565,1580,1595,1610,1625,1640 ,1655,1670,1685,1700,1715,1730,1745,1760,1775,1790,1805,1820,1835,1850,1865,1880 ,1895,1910,1925,1940,1955,1970,1985,2000,2015,2030,2045,2060,2075,2090,2105,2120 ,2135,2150,2165,2180,2195,2210,2225,2240,2255,2270,2285,2300,2315,2330,2345,2360 ,2375,2390,2405,2420,2435,2450,2465,2480,2495,2510,2525,2540,2555,2570,2585,2600 ,2615,2630,2645,2660,2675,2690,2705,2720,2735,2750,2765,2780,2795,2810,2825,2840 ,2855,2870,2885,2900,2915,2930,2945,2960,2975,2990,3005,3020,3035,3050,3065,3080 ,3095,3110,3125,3140,3155,3170,3185,3200,3215,3230,3245,3260,3275,3290,3305,3320 ,3335,3350,3365,3380,3395,3410,3425,3440,3455,3470,3485,3500,3515,3530,3545,3560 ,3575,3590,3605,3620,3635,3650,3665,3680,3695,3710,3725,3740)))">

This way I'm prepared for threads with up to 250 pages, but this is much more dirty than quick :-)

[Videx]

If I forced my users to use 15 posts per page they would revolt. Or they would just use that add-on that strings pages together. Do you also go to great efforts to force them not to use an adblocker? Because I know if I saw ads every 5 posts I would sure use one.

It seems to me you could have put two ads on each page simply by putting one at the top and one at the bottom, or after the first post. No custom coding required.

[FrankP]

The Issue is we moved from an old Board using SMF, and our contracts with our advertisers are set for a place between post 5 and 6 and between 10 and 11.

We don't want to change the contracts. Probably, to switch from 5 to the top will be accepted, but from 10 to the bottom for sure not....

If our users are using adblockers is not our issue...

No, they aren't. Impressions is the number of times a banner has been shown. The more active banners you have in your database, the less will be the impression count on each, provided they are evenly distributed.
