It looks amazing @Osman

Is slider option available? Yes, ads are needed but I dont want to mess also forum page with alot of ads grids. It can turn to slider maybe if we add certain number of adds.

 

[Osman]

Hello, We completely agree with your concern about keeping the forum layout clean. However, in professional ad management systems, rendering ads in a 'Slider/Carousel' is highly discouraged. Using a slider causes "false impressions" because the system counts an impression for all ads loaded into the slider, even if the user leaves the page before the 2nd or 3rd ad actually slides into view. This creates an unfair report and wastes the advertiser's quota.

Instead, we strongly recommend using the built-in Display Limit and Randomize Ads features of our add-on to keep your pages clean. For example, you can sell ad slots to 10 different people for a single position, but you can set the 'Display Limit' for that package to exactly 2. Our system will then fairly and randomly pick just 2 ads out of the 10 and display them upon each page refresh.

This exact method ensures that your forum doesn't end up looking messy, while guaranteeing that your advertisers receive 100% genuine and verified impressions.

Wouldn't it make more sense to set an option where the admin can set the number of ads to display at a time and a different ad is displayed on each page load?

And can we see which ads displayed how many times? I believe this stats can be helpful when we are selling slots.

Hello,

Thank you for your great suggestion. Actually, the exact logic you described is already a core feature built right into our add-on! To achieve this, you simply need to use two existing settings:

1. Display Limit: Simply edit your Ad Package and set the "Display Limit" value to the maximum number of ads you want to display at once (e.g., 2). Even if you have 10 active ads in that package, only 2 will be shown.
2. Randomize Ads: Go to XenForo Admin Control Panel Options -> [XTR] Advanced Ad Manager and enable the "Randomize Ads" option.

With these two combined, the system will randomly pick 2 different ads from your active pool on every single page load, ensuring fair visibility for all your sponsors.

And can we see which ads displayed how many times? I believe this stats can be helpful when we are selling slots.

We completely agree with you! A premium ad system is incomplete without proper analytics. That is exactly why XENTR Advanced Ads comes with a powerful, built-in tracking module.

The add-on accurately tracks and logs how many times a specific ad has been viewed (Impressions), how many times it was clicked (Clicks), and calculates the overall success rate (CTR - Click-Through Rate). Not only can you, as an administrator, view all these deep stats from the "User Ads" section in the Admin Panel, but your advertisers can also transparently monitor their own campaign analytics in real-time from their "My Ads" dashboard on the front-end.
