It sounds like you may have set a height on the image, just verify that you don't have a height hardcoded for that image anywhere

No, I wouldn't even know how to do that.

I have the height and width in the Ad's Link Options settings because it is asking for them.

Remove those. Generally you shouldn't need to set a width and height on the specific advertsiement

Maybe I just need to go to bed here.. I just don't get the conditions and how to set them up

we're trying to setup a few listed here
https://xenforo.com/community/resources/conditional-statements.1604/

How would you go about restricting the ad to selected forums like this.

28. How can I show content in more than one forum?
<xen:if is="in_array({$forum.node_id}, array(x, y, z))">
This content will show in forums x, y, and z
</xen:if>


29. How can I show content in all forums with a specific parent?
<xen:if is="{$forum.parent_node_id} == x">
This content will show in forums of parent x
</xen:if>

I have one category, lets call it ID 1, and two sub forums under it, lets call them 2 and 3

I've tried just putting
$forum.parent_node_id == 1
but I don't see any changes on the front end.

Thanks for the help guys, I'll take another look after some sleep. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

Not sure if this has been suggested before or if you have this already in the works but it would be nice to be able to assign the same advertisement to multiple zones, instead of having to create a new/duplicate the advertisement multiple times for each zone. If this is not possible maybe a csv import/export process, this would be pretty helpful.

With the way the ad manager works, it has to match all template conditionals set. So, you will need to list out each Node ID using something like this:

Supporting a single advertisement in multiple zones is not currently planned. However, there is a 'clone' button that you can use.

What template conditional do I use to have an advertisement only display on the forumhome page?

You could use $contentTemplate to match against the content template of your index page

Looks like part of the installer didn't run, likely from an OpCache of some sort.

Try running this query:

ALTER TABLE `admon_advertisement` ADD `dfp_size_mapping` MEDIUMBLOB NOT NULL AFTER `dfp_targeting`;

 

[Joe Link]

For future consideration, lazy load support would be beneficial as viewability becomes a larger factor.

Most advertisement providers (such as adsense) don't allow lazyloading of the ad units AFAIK

Thanks, that works fine ..

What does this mean and how/where does it need to be inserted? It appears under the link box when you are putting in a HTML ad.

You will need to manually insert the following link into your code: http://xxxxxxx.com/community/index.php?funbox/click&funbox=#######

If you want to track click on HTML advertisements just copy and paste the link it provides into the href of your link

Just as it is? At the beginning or end? I assume outside the quotes of the actual link. Sorry...

Couple more questions:

Why is there no option for the Device sizing when using Adsense? I'd like to show an ad in the header for desktop and landscape tablet, but not smaller formats.

And, because I want to use different AdUnits for DFP, can I use the HTML option to call them instead of your DFP interface?

Not quite sure what you mean

Why is there no option for the Device sizing when using Adsense? I'd like to show an ad in the header for desktop and landscape tablet, but not smaller formats.

It is against Googles TOS to alter the advertisements in a way that allows us to use the device sizing. What you can do, however, is use Google's responsive adsense type

And, because I want to use different AdUnits for DFP, can I use the HTML option to call them instead of your DFP interface?

Yep, you can just paste them into the html fields. However, you won't get use of the extra features we include for DFP (such as the tracking parameters)
