I find it really interesting that people manage to break their forums while trying to install this mod. I understand that some of those are cases in which they try to install it on top of the other ad management mod but it's such an obvious mistake that you don't really need me to point that out for you, or do you?

Unfortunately it wasn't my case. It installed "successfully" with no errors on the default theme and broke everything, still clueless about the reasons for it...

With that many mods installed, it's not very unlikely that there was a conflict with a badly coded mod. If you have any logs of the error that you had once you installed the mod, I'd be happy to investigate the matter.

Except at the time I did that I used to have WAY less mods installed than now... And there wasn't any other mod affecting ads, running default theme as well.
I know you are an excellent coder and I know a lot of stuff you did, that's why I was SO surprised when that happened. Anyway no I didn't have ANY error, that was my problem IIRC. The fact is that my forum was just blank, it was a lot of time and posts ago I can't really remember all the details :/ thanks for the willingness to help anyway, I appreciate it

Do you remember if the "PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function template_ad_position: happened while adding something to the Custom Display: box?

I use this mod myself with no issue, but a while back I installed it on a test site (with maybe 2 or 3 other mods) and it was working fine- until I think I added something to the custom display box option.

Sorry I don't have more to go on, but it was a while ago- but the error did happen as soon as I typed something in the custom display box.

It doesn't necessarily need to be a mod relating to ads. Just have a look at your index.php file; the fact that many mod authors aren't careful with how they make code changes should be clear even to untrained eyes. There should have been some kind of error logged. Maybe you just needed to make them visible.

I'm unable to replicate the issue you described. One could technically manage to get that error using custom ad positions and I'm hoping to make that more fail-safe in the future. If you have further information on your case though, I'd be glad to investigate. That would help with preventing issues that other users may have with the mod in the future.

Hi I installed simple ads, created an ad but I don't see it positioned anywhere on my board?

Help please.

[platinummack]

So I installed and then uninstalled this and it leaves a fatal error on my main forum's index page


Fatal error: Call to undefined function template_ad_position() in /home/content/m/a/a/maaxseduction/html/viplounge/Sources/Load.php(2151) : eval()'d code on line 273

How do I rid of this, what "code" in what files is causing this?

Thanks

[platinummack]

Where can I get help with the Ad Management Mod please?

[Kindred]

In the support thread for that specific mod.

[platinummack]

Once again, Kindred, Steps please, links.......we've been through this before. Thank you

[Kindred]

1- I post, much of the time from a phone... So posting links is a pain
2- every mod has a link to the support thread right on the page where you downloaded the mod.
3- why should everyone hand you everything on a silver platter? You learn more if you are told the correct information and then actually use that to follow up

Hi team,

Need update for smf 2.1

[Kindred]

since 2.1 is in beta 1 phase...   the author is probably not going to make a release for that....

Hi, how to add custom ad_position here?

Installed this mod and I got this error.  It shut the entire forum down.  What can I do to fix it?

Unable to load the 'adsheaders_above' template.

[Kindred]

It suggests that the mod did not fully install and that you probably had some errors during then installation that you ignored, despite the big red warning text...

[hannekenj]

It didn't say it had any errors during install.  How do I fix it.

[cortez]

Any ideas why it doesn't count adsense clicks in 2.0.9? Could be useful as feature to stop counting clicks after x clicks from same IP. Functionality which Click-fraud monitoring plugin for WordPress has, for example.

[vbgamer45]

Adsense clicks can't easily be counted unless you have some kind of javascript that intercepts right before the click on the adsense ad. With adsense you are clicking on google's url and not touching the logging for ad click function.

[cortez]

Nevermind that, I have installed EzPortal and this mod doesn't show ads on forum board index (index.php?action=forum). It's similar thing with SimplePortal because it generates that same url. How to fix it to show it on forum index page too when using portals?
