Link to Mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2557)

SimpleAds

This mod allows you to display HTML code in various locations of forum. You can limit ads by time, click, impressions, membergroups or actions. You can also create custom ad positions.

The mod requires minimal template edits. If you are using a custom theme, make sure you install the mod for those custom themes as well, using the "Install in Other Themes" option during the installation.

This mod uses FamFamFam Silk (http://www.famfamfam.com/lab/icons/silk/) icons licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License.

Thanks Afro,

I installed however and mod is very very good, but mod doesn't perfectly.

For example

# Above Info Center
# After First Post
# Inside First Post
# After Last Post


I added these areas a html code but it doesn't seem in these area? Why?

I noticed that if you select where you want the ad to be placed, It gives you some codes.
You need to locate the {content} and replace it with your html code.
It worked on my test site.
I am still figuring out why i should use this since i have SP installed..

Yeah, you'll need to apply that edit manually then.

Afro, which mods you have installed? Can you attach your Admin.php file? If there is a conflict with a popular mod, I'm going to change the installation instructions.

Are you sure you set the membergroups and actions to display ads for?

As a tip, if you want to display ads everywhere, just put "all" (without quotes) to Custom Display options field.

Putting "all" in Custom Display fixes it. Also, if you are using any portal, and want to show an ad above info center, write forum on the field.

Putting "all" in Custom Display fixes it. Also, if you are using any portal, and want to show an ad above info center, write forum on the field.

It's a feature, rather than a bug. You need to define where you want the ad to be displayed.

If you want to use the Above Info Center position, you can just use "all" or "Board Index" as display option. Since the position code is in BoardIndex.template.php, it won't be displayed on other pages anyway.

As for people using portal and Custom Display option; "forum" will always return true. Only wildcard-like thing for this field is "all" which displays the ad everywhere. Apart from that, you need to use PHP. I haven't documented it yet though. For displaying an ad on ?action=forum, you would use something like this as Custom Display option:

{action} == 'forum'

So there are two variables {action} and {board} you can use with Custom Display option. Like you can do:

in_array({board}, array(1, 2, 3))

and that would display the ad on boards with id of 1, 2, or 3.

I'll add some help texts in future versions explaining all these.

I have given some clues on how to use them just in the post above yours. What do you want to be explained exactly?
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: !RFAN on May 17, 2010, 02:31:07 AM
sorry i ddnt notice those clues ..

i'm more confused now.. what is the relation between add position and that custom field...
hey can u setup ads on my forum.. i can make an account for u with administrative permissions..??

Using that Custom Display field, you can define on which actions you want the ad to be displayed. Like you may have an ad setup for the Overall Header position. You want to display it on board index, help page and search page but no where else. So you'll use the display options. Most of the time Actions and Boards field will be enough. But if you want to define more complex conditions to display the ad, you can use the Custom Display field.

Nope. I don't have time for that. That's something you need to do. I can just help when you can't figure out something with the mod. ;)
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: !RFAN on May 17, 2010, 03:02:00 AM
okay.. i filled the custom field with "all" without commas... but still i cant see any ads.. :S

Post by: [SiNaN] on May 17, 2010, 03:41:24 AM
Did you set the membergroups that can see the ad, correctly?

Title: Re: SimpleAds

Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: luismanson on May 17, 2010, 11:09:41 AM
whats A/X/D on membergroups? :|
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Yağız... on May 17, 2010, 12:14:27 PM
A=Allow
X=????
D=Deny
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Arantor on May 17, 2010, 12:23:18 PM
X = Disallow, like all other permissions.

A = a group has the permission
X = that group doesn't give the permission, but it doesn't block any other group giving it
D = deny, meaning it makes no difference what other groups grant this permission, the user doesn't have it.

Let's say a member is a Regular Member and Newbie post count group.


Let's say both groups have New topics = A. Means they can post a new topic.

Let's say, now that Regular Member has it as A but Newbie has it as X. The X doesn't block the A granting the permission. (which is the usual state of affairs)

Now let's say we make Newbie D for new topics. Now no matter what other groups they're a member of (except main admin group), they can't have that permission. X doesn't give it, D forces it to go away.

Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Arantor on May 17, 2010, 03:39:25 PM
No chance for sudo, not even to make a sandwich :P

But really, that permission set is just what SMF offers normally with deny permissions enabled.

Title: Re: SimpleAds

Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: tectonny on May 18, 2010, 11:34:10 AM
Ok, I copy my code Ad Management, and migrate to your MOD, but I tested on the local machine, and in my forum I have a sidebar that I use a table width of 140px but in its wider DBM is On behalf of the DIV, as I control them?
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: tectonny on May 18, 2010, 12:01:02 PM
Another suggestion ... See the ADS any way to not get so stuck in the forum.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Arantor on May 18, 2010, 12:06:00 PM
The underlying construction of this mod is to avoid template edits. Even taught me a couple of lessons on avoiding them.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: tectonny on May 18, 2010, 12:15:47 PM
So no solution for lateral width of ADS?

Title: Re: SimpleAds

It would help us a lot if you provide the code you are using along with a screenshot indicating what you exactly want.

Post by: akbora on May 18, 2010, 03:55:28 PM
Everything works fine except only clicks counter doesn't work. I clicked two or three times I look clicks number is zero. İmpressing are 1400 but click is zero.

Post by: [SiNaN] on May 18, 2010, 04:06:25 PM
If the links are displayed by a JavaScript code (like in the case of AdSense) it won't be able to track click counts.

Hi SiNaN,  :D

I know NOTHING about ads. I tried A Manager and got lost.  Un-installed that and installed Simple Ad, but it doesn't seem much different.
Um, I want to present two (2) ideas so that I can learn.

1) the following words as an ad

You are the most important person to someone you know.
Why? Because you can help, when no one else can or will.
Do you know that one out of every four women, and one in six men have been or are being abused?
You can make a difference, and it won't even cost you anything.
How? Simply share with them a place that offers compassion and understanding.
Resources and solutions. Guidance but never advice. Offer them A Sanctuary,
at http://www.asanctury.net.

Would like this on just the forum index

2) the attached Screen Shot shows that I would like the SMF Logo for Online Manual to be on the index and perhaps every board but NOT in Topics.

I want to learn so that is why I don't ask you to make it for me, rather "show" me and then I will be able to. If you look at some of my other posts, you will see that I am quite gutsy and will change source files if I have to in order to get the desired result.

I thank you or others in advance and look forward to a reply.

Be Well,
Cloud 8)

I've added "hour" to expiration time. But I think it has a problem :)
I've replaced this on ./Sources/ManageAds.php:
$values['duration'] = ((int) $_POST['expiration']) * 86400 * ($_POST['expiration_type'] == 3 ? 365 : ($_POST['expiration_type'] == 2 ? 30 : 1));
With this:
if ($_POST['expiration_type'] != 4)
            $values['duration'] = ((int) $_POST['expiration']) * 86400 * ($_POST['expiration_type'] == 3 ? 365 : ($_POST['expiration_type'] == 2 ? 30 : 1));
         else
            $values['duration'] = (int) $_POST['expiration'] * 3600;


This on ./Sources/Subs-AdsAdmin.php:
   $types = array(
      3 => 86400 * 365,
      2 => 86400 * 30,
      1 => 86400,
   );

With this:
   $types = array(
      4 => 3600,
      3 => 86400 * 365,
      2 => 86400 * 30,
      1 => 86400,
   );

And this on ./Themes/default/ManageAds.template.php:
                     <select name="expiration_type">
                        <option value="1"', $context['ad']['expiration'][1] == 1 ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $txt['sa_generic_expire_days'], '</option>
                        <option value="2"', $context['ad']['expiration'][1] == 2 ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $txt['sa_generic_expire_months'], '</option>
                        <option value="3"', $context['ad']['expiration'][1] == 3 ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $txt['sa_generic_expire_years'], '</option>
                     </select>

With this:
                     <select name="expiration_type">
                        <option value="4"', $context['ad']['expiration'][1] == 4 ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>Hour(s)</option>
                        <option value="1"', $context['ad']['expiration'][1] == 1 ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $txt['sa_generic_expire_days'], '</option>
                        <option value="2"', $context['ad']['expiration'][1] == 2 ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $txt['sa_generic_expire_months'], '</option>
                        <option value="3"', $context['ad']['expiration'][1] == 3 ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $txt['sa_generic_expire_years'], '</option>
                     </select>


I've put 1 in Expiration and select Hour(s) then saved. When I return to edit page, I see 2.5 in Expiration field. It always multiplies with 2.5. Do you have any ideas?

For 1; go to "Admin > SimpleAds > Advertisements > Add Ad". Fill in the "Name" as you like. Add this as "Body":

<div class="windowbg">
<span class="topslice"><span></span></span>
<div class="content centertext">
You are the most important person to someone you know.<br />
Why? Because you can help, when no one else can or will.<br />
Do you know that one out of every four women, and one in six men have been or are being abused?<br />
You can make a difference, and it won't even cost you anything.<br />
How? Simply share with them a place that offers compassion and understanding.<br />
Resources and solutions. Guidance but never advice. Offer them A Sanctuary,<br />
at <a href="http://www.asanctury.net">http://www.asanctury.net</a>.
</div>
<span class="botslice"><span></span></span>
</div>


Check the "Below Menu" option for "Positions". Select "A" for all groups that you want them to see the ad. Check "Board Index" for the "Actions". Click "Add Ad" and that should be all.

For 2; I'm not sure how that's related to this board. You may want to ask that in support boards.

Couldn't reproduce that 2.5 issue. Try checking your edits again. Though, you need to change:

$types = array(
4 => 3600,
3 => 86400 * 365,
2 => 86400 * 30,
1 => 86400,
);


as this:

$types = array(
3 => 86400 * 365,
2 => 86400 * 30,
1 => 86400,
4 => 3600,
);


Otherwise it will always return the duration in hour format.

While installing the mod, did you apply the template edits for Core Theme as well? If not, try uninstalling the mod and installing it again; this time making sure you apply the template edits for Core Theme too.

Found 1 more bug:


I'm using Simple Portal (latest release) on my smf 2.0 RC3 and i'm getting the following error on standalone SimplePortal page:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function update_ad_impressions() in /www/forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 2892"

I managed to fix it via adding


function update_ad_impressions()
{
global $smcFunc, $context;

if (empty($context['displayed_ads']))
return;

$smcFunc['db_query']('', '
UPDATE {db_prefix}sa_ads
SET impressions = impressions + 1
WHERE id_ad IN ({array_int:displayed_ads})',
array(
'displayed_ads' => $context['displayed_ads'],
)
);
}


to the end of Sources/PortalMain.php but i'm sure this is not the solution.

Also ads anyway don't appear on portal page at all.

I read your previous lines saying that you do not have time... how much it takes to write 2 phrases? 5 minutes?
what about a few screenshots? 10 minutes?
custom ads location... 20 minutes maximum?

I do not want to sound harsh... I said this because I believe it is a good and useful mod, with a not too good description :)

I had some screenshots here:

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=378707.0

But I couldn't attach them on the Mod Site due to a bug on this site.

---->>>> OFF TOPIC <<<<----
Having written a 275+ pages of html, it can be difficult. I have no idea how to write a mod, but I imagine just like html, if a period is placed where a coma goes, the mod will not function. Trying to hurry through is equal to "haste make waste".
Always let me remember, that almost all mods are written in the author's free time. They do NOT charge for the hours (not) minutes to write a mod.

All that said, (unless I am willing to say to the author I will give you x$) I don't think I should say, "I need you to do this or that."
I installed this mod 2 weeks ago, and asked for help because I didn't know how to use it for either text or image ads, especially the placement. The author answered quickly with how to place the text mod, and recommended that I ask on the Support Board for the image mod because it was a SMF Online Manual ad that I wanted to place in our forum.
I still haven't heard anything on that, but I just gently bump now and again. I would NOT necessarily insist that the mod author provide detailed instruction beyond the basic use of the mod ( I did however ask for a link, but none were available ) and so I will wait.
I know I will always catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.

It doesn't seem like caused by this mod. The mod won't do/load anything on dlattach action.

But the error only occurs after installing this mod. I tried several times to uninstall and reinstall and without this mod the error never happens.

If you pm me a temporary FTP and admin account, I could have a look at it on your forum.

I had the same error too, but I think it was because of SimplePortal and if I remember correctly commenting this:
// Attachments don't require the entire theme to be loaded.
if (isset($_REQUEST['action']) && $_REQUEST['action'] == 'dlattach' && (!empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $user_info['is_guest']))
detectBrowser();
// Load the current theme.  (note that ?theme=1 will also work, may be used for guest theming.)
else

on  ./index.php fixes it.

SiNaN,
I posted this over on the Support for SMF 2.0 and this is what happened :-\
I attached a screen shot of where I want the ad to be.
I think that the code would be placed in the ./Themes/default/css/index.css
in this example "{" is substituted for  "["
{right}
{url=link to online help}
{img}path to and name of image here{/img}{/a}
(this is just a guess from the html that I know)

Hello,
I am trying to use Simple Ads (by SiNaN) to have a link to the Online Manual just as it is here on SMF.  O:)

Hi SiNaN,  :D
I know NOTHING about ads.
Um, I want to present two (2) ideas so that I can learn.
1) SiNaN resolved this one.
2) the attached Screen Shot shows that I would like the SMF Logo for Online Manual to be on the index,
and perhaps every board, but NOT inside of Topics.
I thank you in advance,
Be Well,
Cloud 8)

Quote from: [SiNaN] on May 24, 2010, 12:40:03 PM

For 2; I'm not sure how that's related to this board. You may want to ask that in support boards.


I have attached the smaller Online Manual icon that I had attached for SiNaN.  ;)
Of course, thanks in advance.
Be Well,
Cloud 8)

What is you're asking, Cloud?
Maybe my mind's gone a bit fluffy, but I don't see what you're after...
Hi K@T,
Good seeing you, and thanks for replying.
As requested by SiNaN, and as the attached Screen Shot shows:
I would like the SMF Logo for Online Manual to appear on the index,
and every board of the forum, but NOT inside of Topics, by using the Simple Ads Mod.
See attached Screen Shot.
Take Care,
Cloud 8)
Nudge?
If I were you, I'd post in that mod's support topic, Cloud.


They'll know more about it than we do. ;)
K@t,
Thank you for replying.
Will move this over there and then close this topic.

Be Well,
Cloud

I removed all plugins, but even so SimpleAds generates the error.

The error is Invalid argument supplied for foreach ($settings['template_dirs'] as $template_dir), could be due to something on the filesystem? How $settings['template_dirs'] is initialized?

I installed a clean forum rc3
installed a simple ADs
tuned blocs

All shows perfectly..............

then put the simple portal
simply put
and the whole design is broken..........

in the portal settings do not touch
just disable the left and right column

but the design does not come back to normal until you remove the portal or disable blocks in simple ADs


I can provide a test account as a gift (address forum username / password) for viewing live

The issue relates more to the simple portal

[SiNaN]  you also develops simple portal ............
please note on http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=5775.0

I mainly serve ads using a simple portal block

if you add a simple portal block configuration functions clicks / impressions / expiration as in Simple ADs, it will be very good. 8) :) :)

I will not have to use simple ADs :)

Probably unknown to everyone is, after posting "Link to the Online Manual" (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=383271.msg2658983#msg2658983) on the "SMF 2.x Support" board, I was referred back here.

Try this for SMF 2.0 RC3. Change left to right if you want it to be on the right side and the width accordingly with your ad size (+10px to be more beautiful).

Quote from: Abu Fahim Ismail on June 17, 2010, 09:28:46 AM
After some reference, I clean up the code a bit with ad only in the first post. Change float:left; width:270px; and adsense id to your need.
Find:
echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>', $message['body'], '</div>
</div>';

Replace:
echo '
<div class="inner" id="msg_', $message['id'], '"', '>';
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
echo '
<div style="float:left; width:270px;">
<script target="_blank" type="text/javascript"><!--

[SiNaN], help us to fix all bugs :P

at least wierd bug with left/right position while SimplePortal installed - design completely crushed in Opera/Google Chrome

p.s. to all:

i managed to fix layout via adding the following:

open
Themes\default\ads.template.php

add width="10%" or what do u need (i'm using 160px width vertical banner - so i added width="160px")

like



if (isset($context['ads']['right_side']))

{

echo '

<td style="vertical-align: top;" width="160px">';


and


if (isset($context['ads']['left_side']))

{

echo '

<td style="vertical-align: top;" width="160px">';


that fixed everything.

anyway i'd like to know how to move that banner from inner wrapper to that space around it.

Post by: Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail on June 26, 2010, 03:16:56 PM
On the second thought, I think it will also work with SimpleAds. I just need to do like this:

<div style="float:left; width:270px;">
                        <script target="_blank" type="text/javascript"><!--
                        google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
                        /* All 250x250 */
                        google_ad_slot = "8967115259";
                        google_ad_width = 250;
                        google_ad_height = 250;
                        //-->
                        </script>
                        <script type="text/javascript"
                        src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js?target=_blank">

Hi I'm having a slight problem..

I have this mod
View / Enter Board Permissions
Also I have your simple ads mod installed all works well untill a member who does not have access to a certain board..
It cuts the theme off and displays this error message.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function template_ad_position() in /home/uniquez-home/public_html/v2/Sources/Load.php(2458) : eval()'d code on line 394

I have made a custom position so that it shows just above the menu and below the info center.
Please could you help me with this error.

See if this fixes it:

Sources/Errors.php

Code (Find) Select
// Don't bother indexing errors mate...

Code (Replace) Select
global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Ads.php');
load_ads();

// Don't bother indexing errors mate...


Awsome Thanks worked a treat..

Great mod I must say BTW... Its great for when you wanna add banners for your own website showing people what you have to offer..
We wil be using this mod alot.. Not just for placing other peoples adverts can jazz up your style a little..

Awsome mod works great 2.

Hi sorry to bother you.. But I am still getting this error message :(

when I click on a board and do not have relevent permissions to access it.. Now when I 1st checked this I'm sure that this edit fixed it.
Seems like its not fixed the problem. Its still happening.
I double checked errors.php and the edit is there perfectly.

Just not sure why its folding me an error.

First off is SimpleAds (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2557) by [SiNaN] (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=118168).  Requiring minimal edits to a custom theme, this mod allows you to display HTML code in various locations of forum.  You can limit ads by time, click, impressions, membergroups or actions.  You can also create custom ad positions.  A nice competitor to the Ad Management modification.

First of all, congratulations to SiNaN and his team. Secondly, I've read that SiNaN is not well for the time being. I really hope he will get better soon and continue supporting this mod.

Thanks for the mod, it's fantastic.

One question:

how can i change the position of the add in the first post? Let's say : random position of the add in the first post > left of the post, right of the post, up, etc.
More, how can i place a small space between add in post and the actual post?

Thank you.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail on July 08, 2010, 03:37:52 PM
I think for left or right, you just need to use float left or right.

For the ad after post, there is a setting for it.

I know about float, what i meant is an options to randomly show the ads in the left or the right (inside the first post). This way the user doesn't get "bored" by the ads position, and increases the chance to click on the ads.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Hj Ahmad Rasyid Hj Ismail on July 09, 2010, 04:17:50 AM
Random eh? I am not sure how you can achieve this but you can try searching for random ads rotator or something and see how the code randomly display ads and just ads float left or right. I am not sure whether this will work but you can have a try.

Hi I'm having a slight problem..

I have this mod
View / Enter Board Permissions
Also I have your simple ads mod installed all works well untill a member who does not have access to a certain board..
It cuts the theme off and displays this error message.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function template_ad_position() in /home/uniquez-home/public_html/v2/Sources/Load.php(2458) : eval()'d code on line 394

I have made a custom position so that it shows just above the menu and below the info center.
Please could you help me with this error.

See if this fixes it:

Sources/Errors.php

Code (Find) Select
// Don't bother indexing errors mate...

Code (Replace) Select
global $sourcedir;
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Ads.php');
load_ads();

// Don't bother indexing errors mate...


As I stated b4 this error has gone away for registered members. But for guests when they click a board hey do not have permission to enter
It throws the same error at them.

Okay, I've searched and searched and hopefully someone can help me come up with a solution.

I'm running SMF 2.0 RC3 on my forum and everything was going great. The other day, I installed SimpleAds and am now having issues with people using Safari, on Mac or PC. I've tested this on a PC and confirmed that it is malfunctioning.

Present mods installed:
Member Awards
SMF Staff Page
Hide SMF Version
BK-SMF Website
Aeva Media
SMF Arcade
SMF Links
SimpleAds

So, when members log onto my forum using Safari, and click the REPLY button they are brought to the screen to post with a text box. Once they click in that box, if a SimpleAds banner is visable, it takes them to that website rather than allowing the member to type.

Members ARE able to tab to the text box and type in that way, however, when clicking on the POST button. The same function happens, they are taken to the website that the AD is for.

I've since disabled the AD's and this isn't happening presently, however, I need the AD's up cause I have sponsors asking about it already.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would sure appreciate it.

As a tip, if you want to display ads everywhere, just put "all" (without quotes) to Custom Display options field.
Quote from: [SiNaN] on May 16, 2010, 05:57:26 AM
As for people using portal and Custom Display option; "forum" will always return true. Only wildcard-like thing for this field is "all" which displays the ad everywhere. Apart from that, you need to use PHP. I haven't documented it yet though. For displaying an ad on ?action=forum, you would use something like this as Custom Display option:

{action} == 'forum'

At that rate, you can do Custom Display option like:

{action} == 'media'

Thanks for this fantastic mod, [SiNaN].

I recently installed this mod in my test forum and ended up with the following error message right after adding my very first ad:

QuoteThe database value you're trying to insert does not exist: p_member_ip2

I'm wondering, is this because my test forum only has 1 registered member (that is, the Admin account only)? My test forum is a freshly installed SMF 2.0 RC3 version using the default theme with the following mods installed:

1.     AJAX Instant Quick Reply     1.0.3
2.    Users Online Today    1.5.6
3.    AjaxChat Integration    3.2.1 (modified for SMF 2 RC3)

There were no errors when I installed the SimpleAds mod and I guess I'm just the second person to experience this based on a Google search performed about the error message. Right now, my test forum is unusable and I'm betting I would need to reinstall the test forum. No matter what page I load, I always get that error message now and I cannot even enter the Admin panel.

Also to give you a background, I only created the following ad which resulted to this unrecoverable error:

(http://img243.imagevenue.com/loc345/th_49705_SimpleAdsAd_122_345lo.jpg) (http://img243.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=49705_SimpleAdsAd_122_345lo.jpg)

You haven't explore it at all. It is there in the settings. Find the blocks setting and disable it for forum. SP > Settings > Block Settings.

Alternatively, you can set it from within the individual blocks.

Bump :(

I am also experiencing this same error message whenever a guest user is accessing a post that displays the poster's uploaded avatar. In case the poster is using one of the default avatars in SMF, this error does not show up. Can anyone suggest a fix please?

This error only occurs with SimpleAds. I also tried installing a fresh SMF RC3 installation and just installing SimpleAds - same error message appears. If I uninstall SimpleAds, the error message does not appear anymore.

It should be something like:

That instant it isn't possible MultiformeIngegno with Custom Display. I'll tell another way. But I didn't try it.

+ Firstly, you should create a new ad position. Its namespace to be "between_posts".
+ Then you coding the belowing:
Open ./Themes/{your_theme}/Display.template.php
Code (Find) Select
$ignoring = false;
Code (Replace) Select
if (++$msg_counter == 3 || ++$msg_counter == 7)
template_ad_position('between_posts');

$ignoring = false;

SiNaN,
I posted this over on the Support for SMF 2.0 and this is what happened :-\
I attached a screen shot of where I want the ad to be.
I think that the code would be placed in the ./Themes/default/css/index.css
in this example "{" is substituted for  "["
{right}
{url=link to online help}
{img}path to and name of image here{/img}{/a}
(this is just a guess from the html that I know)

The best I can suggest would be creating a Below Menu positioned ad with this as the body:

<div style="float: right;">
<a href="LINK"><img src="IMAGE" alt="" /></a>
</div>
<br style="line-height: 0; clear: both;" />

I mainly serve ads using a simple portal block

if you add a simple portal block configuration functions clicks / impressions / expiration as in Simple ADs, it will be very good. 8) :) :)

I will not have to use simple ADs :)

Replace:

echo '

Select "Inside First Post" as the "Positions" and check the boards you want it displayed for "Boards". Then you can use such a body:

I double checked errors.php and the edit is there perfectly.

Just not sure why its folding me an error.

Any help would be great.

This should fix it:

how can i change the position of the add in the first post? Let's say : random position of the add in the first post > left of the post, right of the post, up, etc.
More, how can i place a small space between add in post and the actual post?

Use float and padding in the body code:

<div style="float: left; padding-right: 1em;">
content here
</div>

I think for left or right, you just need to use float left or right.

For the ad after post, there is a setting for it.

I know about float, what i meant is an options to randomly show the ads in the left or the right (inside the first post). This way the user doesn't get "bored" by the ads position, and increases the chance to click on the ads.

There is no way to make it random since its just HTML.

Okay, I've searched and searched and hopefully someone can help me come up with a solution.

I'm running SMF 2.0 RC3 on my forum and everything was going great. The other day, I installed SimpleAds and am now having issues with people using Safari, on Mac or PC. I've tested this on a PC and confirmed that it is malfunctioning.

Present mods installed:
Member Awards
SMF Staff Page
Hide SMF Version
BK-SMF Website
Aeva Media
SMF Arcade
SMF Links
SimpleAds

So, when members log onto my forum using Safari, and click the REPLY button they are brought to the screen to post with a text box. Once they click in that box, if a SimpleAds banner is visable, it takes them to that website rather than allowing the member to type.

Members ARE able to tab to the text box and type in that way, however, when clicking on the POST button. The same function happens, they are taken to the website that the AD is for.

I've since disabled the AD's and this isn't happening presently, however, I need the AD's up cause I have sponsors asking about it already.

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would sure appreciate it.

I have a feeling that it's related to the ad code you are using.

Thanks for this fantastic mod, [SiNaN].

I recently installed this mod in my test forum and ended up with the following error message right after adding my very first ad:

QuoteThe database value you're trying to insert does not exist: p_member_ip2

I'm wondering, is this because my test forum only has 1 registered member (that is, the Admin account only)? My test forum is a freshly installed SMF 2.0 RC3 version using the default theme with the following mods installed:

1.     AJAX Instant Quick Reply     1.0.3
2.    Users Online Today    1.5.6
3.    AjaxChat Integration    3.2.1 (modified for SMF 2 RC3)

There were no errors when I installed the SimpleAds mod and I guess I'm just the second person to experience this based on a Google search performed about the error message. Right now, my test forum is unusable and I'm betting I would need to reinstall the test forum. No matter what page I load, I always get that error message now and I cannot even enter the Admin panel.

Also to give you a background, I only created the following ad which resulted to this unrecoverable error:

(http://img243.imagevenue.com/loc345/th_49705_SimpleAdsAd_122_345lo.jpg) (http://img243.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=49705_SimpleAdsAd_122_345lo.jpg)

Doesn't seem to be related to this mod. It doesn't make use of a field named "p_member_ip2". If you have a mod installed related to IPs, that should be it.

Leave it up to me to mess up a SimpleAd:)  Ok, I went to ADMIN -> SimpleAds -> Advertisements -> Add Ad

Name: Banner
Body Template:
Body: <div class="windowbg">
   <span class="topslice"><span></span></span>
   <div class="content centertext">

   <span class="botslice"><span></span></span>
</div>


Positions: Below Menu
Membergroups: A
Actions: Check All

Everything works on the front page.  How do I get it to work on the forum?

One more thing very nice mod...:)

Site: www.rcing.net

Use this for "Custom Display":

{action} == 'forum'

How can I display ads between posts (as in ad management mod?)... For example between posts 3 and 7?
It should be something like:


in_array({posts}, array(3, 7))

That is not possible currently.

Quote from: S-Ace on August 15, 2010, 12:52:14 PM
Is there any way to display a particular ad on a particular topic/topics only ?

using custom display options , ie

Using these as Custom Display:

$GLOBALS['topic'] == 1

or

in_array($GLOBALS['topic'], array(1, 2, 3))

Found 1 more bug:

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function update_ad_impressions() in /www/forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 2892"
I have the same error (but I'm not using SimplePortal)...

SMF 2.0RC3

This should fix it:

index.php

Code (Find) Select
// If $maintenance is set specifically to 2, then we're upgrading or something.

Code (Replace) Select
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Ads.php');

// If $maintenance is set specifically to 2, then we're upgrading or something.

Hi Sinan,

Thanks for the comprehensive response to all questions regarding your Mod. I will repeat what I have said a few pages ago regarding the error message:


http://www.forumname.com/test2/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=1;type=avatar
Apply Filter: Only show the errors with the same message
2: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
Apply Filter: Only show the errors from this file
File: /home/forumname/public_html/test2/Sources/Load.php
Line: 1793


This error message appears whenever a guest user is accessing a post that displays the poster's uploaded avatar. In case the poster is using one of the default avatars in SMF, this error does not show up.

This error only occurs with SimpleAds. I tried installing a fresh SMF RC3 installation and just installing SimpleAds (no other mods installed) - same error message appears. If I uninstall SimpleAds, the error message does not appear anymore.

I have recreated this issue two times already, the last time is today right after reading your reply. I created another test forum today just to be sure that the issue can be reproduced.

Steps done to reproduce issue:

1. Install SMF 2.0 RC3
2. Do not install ANY modification.
3. Check the error logs for any errors (haven't found any error even after creating several boards and posting several test posts).
4. Upload a user avatar in any account (in this case I uploaded an avatar to my Admin account). Note: the issue only appears with user-uploaded avatars; using the default avatars from SMF does not cause this issue.
5. Install SimpleAds 1.0.
6. Browse the forum using a logged in account and check the error logs, no errors will be generated.
7. Browse the forum from a different browser as GUEST. Check the error logs and immediately notice the above mentioned error messages.

Here are the screen shots of my error logs before and after the installation of SimpleAds 1.0:

AFTER installation of SimpleAds

(http://i078.radikal.ru/1008/61/c2e5ee9301dd.jpg)

This error is definitely caused by SimpleAds. I just don't know how to program using PHP but it's very logical that there must be some code in line 1793 of Load.php that triggers the error. I have attached a copy of my Load.php here.

It requires minimal template edits. It allows you to select groups which will see ads and which won't. Gives full control over on which pages you want ads to be displayed. It allows you to add custom ad positions.

For your error; I don't have any idea. First issue should have been solved by creating a writable directory named "temp" in Packages directory.

Post by: Moiph on August 30, 2010, 01:28:26 AM
First thought I'd just say great mod, it works perfectly for what I need, and the custom display support is neat :)

As mentioned earlier in the thread I notice click tracking hadn't been working for AdSense; due to the fact that the onclick is set on anchor tags rendered by the page rather than injected through JS; and even if that were worked around, AdSense ads are in an iframe (as are most, I assume) and you can't detect clicks in an iframe.

So, I thought I'd share some code that can be added to the ads.js script plus one line to Subs-Ads.php to at least approximate clicks :)  (Granted you can still see the actual numbers in AdSense...but maybe there's other cases where this is handy, plus I just like seeing the clicks in the forum UI anyway :)

Note this makes a few assumptions and thus won't work in all cases:
1) You have one <div> that wraps your ad code (Edit Ad > Body), with a class that you specify in JS (see below)
2) You don't mind some inaccuracies on the click tracking since it's not really tracking clicks, just making educated guesses :)


So for my own ad body in the Edit Ad section I basically have:

<div class="simplead_wrapper">
<adsense code>
</div>


Then the following edits need to be made:

In Sources/Subs-Ads.php:
replace

$body = preg_replace('~<a([^>]+)>~', '<a$1 onclick="update_ad_clicks(' . $row['id_ad'] . ');">', un_htmlspecialchars($row['body'])\
);

with

$body = preg_replace('~<div([^>]+)>~', '<div$1 adid="'. $row['id_ad'] . '">', un_htmlspecialchars($row['body']));


Replace the entirety of ads.js with:
// There are two steps to make this work that must be done on the forum:
// 1) add a <div> wrapper around your ad code with a className, specified
//    below by adClass
// 2) update Subs-Ads.php to add an adid attribute
// 3) thank moiph for writing this up :D (unless it doesnt' work --
//    then yell at him)
new function() {
    // the ad class here needs to match what's specified from the forum
    var adClass = 'simplead_wrapper';
    // current ad ID that's 'active', 0 means no ad
    var currentAd = 0;

    // update the ad clicks!
    function update_ad_clicks(id_ad)
    {
        var temp_image = new Image();
        temp_image.src = smf_prepareScriptUrl(smf_scripturl) + 'action=update_ad_clicks;ad=' + parseInt(id_ad) + ';xml';
    }

    // Some helper code to detect ad clicks
    // we'll watch for a mouseover of a wrapper div for the ad
    // and on unload of the page, if we hadn't seen a mouseout,
    // we'll assume there was as click.
    // This results in an approximation, don't assume this always means a click!
    // (e.g. someone mouses over, and then refreshes the page)
    function init()
    {
        // store the previous window onload, if one exists
        var winOnload = window.onload;
        window.onload = function() {
            if (winOnload) {
                winOnload();
            }

            // find all ads in the page and bindup our
            // mouseover and mouseout events
            var ads = getElementsByClassName(adClass);
            for (var i = 0; i < ads.length; i++) {
                ads[i].onmouseover = adOnmouseover;
                ads[i].onmouseout = adOnmouseout;
            }
        }

        // store the previous window onunload, if one exists
        var winOnunload = window.onunload;
        window.onunload = function() {
            if (winOnunload) {
                winOnunload();
            }

            // if we have an active ad ID, update the clicks for it!
            if (currentAd) {
                update_ad_clicks(currentAd);
            }
        }
    }

    // adOnmouseover
    // gets the current ad's id
    function adOnmouseover(ev)
    {
        currentAd = this.getAttribute('adid');
    }

    // adOnmouseout
    // clears the curent ad id
    function adOnmouseout()
    {
        currentAd = 0;
    }


    // some helper methods

    // getElementsByClassName
    // gets all child elements of el with the specified classname.
    // if el is not defined, document will be used.
    function getElementsByClassName(className, el) {
        var el = el || document;
        var children = el.getElementsByTagName('*');
        var elements = [];

        for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
            var child = children[i];
            if (hasClass(child, className)) {
                elements.push(child);
            }
        }

        return elements;
    }

    // hasClass
    // returns true if el has the given class name
    function hasClass(el, className)
    {
        var classNames = el.className ? el.className.split(' ') : [];
        for (var i = 0; i < classNames.length; i++) {
            if (classNames[i] == className) {
                return 1;
            }
        }
        return 0;
    }

    // bind up our events!

X = Disallow, like all other permissions.

A = a group has the permission
X = that group doesn't give the permission, but it doesn't block any other group giving it
D = deny, meaning it makes no difference what other groups grant this permission, the user doesn't have it.

Let's say a member is a Regular Member and Newbie post count group.


Let's say both groups have New topics = A. Means they can post a new topic.

Let's say, now that Regular Member has it as A but Newbie has it as X. The X doesn't block the A granting the permission. (which is the usual state of affairs)

Now let's say we make Newbie D for new topics. Now no matter what other groups they're a member of (except main admin group), they can't have that permission. X doesn't give it, D forces it to go away.

If you are using "overall" header or footer you need to uncheck those also.

this mod seems great but after I installed it, it messed up my forum...

Like the admin panel when I want to go to the simple ads options or some of other mod options it goes to the forum index and stuff like that... Seems all messed up... also when I login I get a database error
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: tbk22 on September 27, 2010, 10:57:00 AM
I really need some help with this...

I cant access the admin panel at all... Any option in which I click redirects me to the Forum Index...

Is there any filke I can edit to solve this?

(Before installing simple ads I had SimplePortal Installed  and some other mods...)

And at login I get this error:

QuoteThe database value you're trying to insert does not exist: p_member_ip2

Only at the second time I manage to login properly

Were there any errors during installation?

8: Undefined index: theme_url

File: /forum/Sources/Load.php
Line: 1945  --> $theme_name = basename($settings['theme_url']);

and many many others...

I unistall the mod, let the forum work about 24h, no errors. I have installed back... my log is again full...

It's a good mod, better then the AdManagement, please help..

Of course there is. Firstly, you create a ad position. Then, SimpleAds'll redirect you for necessary procedures. ;)

and then i know how to edit php, noproblems there so i can add the line that needs to be added.  BUT, i have no clue what the section name is called or where to find it in teh code.  orrr even how to locate the section by myself... can someone help me out there?

Hi,

I'm trying to install this using a different theme, "Helios".  All went well except for a failure on BoardIndex.template.php.  It could not find the literal 'template_info_center();'

Helios has the following, and I'm wondering if it is as simple as doing the following...



// Here's where the "Info Center" starts...
echo $leftboxbot2. '
<img class="icon" id="upshrink_ic" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/collapse.gif" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="display: none;" />
', sprintf($txt['info_center_title'], $context['forum_name_html_safe']), $rightboxbot2 , '
<div id="upshrinkHeaderIC"', empty($options['collapse_header_ic']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', '>', $topbox;

// Remove Recent Posts


Can I replace
// Here's where the "Info Center" starts...

with


echo '<br class="clear" />';
template_ad_position('above_info_center');

// Here's where the "Info Center" starts...


I've attached my BoardIndex.template.php file if the sample code I've posted isn't enough to tell.  Any help is GREATLY ppreciated.

Use only the A ... or try no t to use the D

This has been explained several times already but here you go

A = Allowed to view
X = not allowed to view (user will still be able to view ads if they are also in another group that has the A permission)
D = Denied (user will not be able to view the ads regardless of any other group they are in, even if the other group has the A permission)

I have been using simple ads , it is an excellent mod.

Recently upgraded my forum to 2.0 RC4. So when i tried to install simple ads , it had showed me error in index.php.

If you need to install in 2.0 RC4 , just go to index.php,


Search for this line

// Do some logging, unless this is an attachment, avatar, toggle of editor buttons, theme option, XML feed etc.

Replace this line

// Do some logging, unless this is an attachment, avatar, theme option or XML feed.


Then you could install the old package.

-------

Additional with the old package, we have a issue which fills the error log almost every visit of forum,

mentioned here - http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=381408.msg2763252#msg2763252


So i have fixed this edit and the install issue on smf 2.0 RC4. Tried in my live forum and worked excellent.

Use the downloader i have attached, which is edited by me to sit in latest smf 2.0 RC4 version without any issue.

Can you add support for when an ad is displayed in between posts, that you can set a certain user to be the name? Like vBulletin ads? I have subaccounts mod and use a account, "WelcomeBot" that when a new user registers, that account makes a new topic about them. I would like something like"AdvertisementBot" so I don't get lots and lots of posts with my account.

Yes you have to uninstall the ad management mod for this to work perfectly.

Even i had the same issue, which is sorted uninstalling the ad management and install a fresh version of simpleads will work fine.

I need help, I created a new block and put the code in the error index.template.php

echo '<br class="clear" />';
template_ad_position('top_menu');


I put this code in index.template.php
Error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function template_ad_position() in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(2327) : eval()'d code on line 411

Despite the error in ADS works perfectly, the error only happens on my homepage:

Please someone help me, I created a new position, and put in place index.template.php as I needed. Where did I go wrong?

echo '<br class="clear" />';
template_ad_position('top_menu');

Sorry, tectonny, i don't know much about PHP but someone knowledgeable should drop by soon.

I just want to say that this mod is so much better than Ad Management mod. :D Hopefully it will be made compatible with SMF 1.1.12

Post by: tectonny on January 19, 2011, 02:24:34 PM
I want to use to place ads SimpleAds only visitors, but as you can not get this solution to show ads only to visitors:


if($context['user']['is_guest']){
echo '
<table width="620" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-4837076002256195";
/* Dobra 1 */
google_ad_slot = "4877219957";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script> <script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></td>
    <td><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-4837076002256195";
/* Dobra 2 */
google_ad_slot = "3497510691";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script> <script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></td>
  </tr>
</table>
';
}


Let's wait to see if the author gets a solution, there will not use SimpleAds for this position.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: [SiNaN] on January 19, 2011, 02:26:22 PM
You don't need PHP for that. This mod probably has the most advanced and flexible ad permissions among others. See this:

Quote from: Arantor on May 17, 2010, 12:23:18 PM
X = Disallow, like all other permissions.

A = a group has the permission
X = that group doesn't give the permission, but it doesn't block any other group giving it
D = deny, meaning it makes no difference what other groups grant this permission, the user doesn't have it.

Let's say a member is a Regular Member and Newbie post count group.


Let's say both groups have New topics = A. Means they can post a new topic.

Let's say, now that Regular Member has it as A but Newbie has it as X. The X doesn't block the A granting the permission. (which is the usual state of affairs)

Now let's say we make Newbie D for new topics. Now no matter what other groups they're a member of (except main admin group), they can't have that permission. X doesn't give it, D forces it to go away.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: sharks on January 19, 2011, 02:33:18 PM
That's sound advice, [SiNaN]. ;)

I am already using it on my SMF 2.0 RC4 forums and i would love to use this on all my SMF 1.1.12 forums as well.

I'm looking forward to see how this mod evolves. It should be interesting though.

You could have used a normal ad block to display it only to guests... without any PHP of any kind.

Title: Re: SimpleAds

Yes, and in the time you spent crafting that you could have configured it in the admin panel and be off doing something more fun.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: tectonny on January 20, 2011, 05:18:27 AM
I'm from Brazil and I'm using Google to post and did not quite understand what you mean.

That was the only way I found to solve my problem, my knowledge is almost nothing in the lineup. But I'm happy to have another alternative because I wanted the announcement appears to visitors and for some groups, and so I did only appears to visitors or for everybody.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Arantor on January 20, 2011, 05:20:17 AM
That's why you do it with permissions. You make it visible for some, and use the deny permissions to hide it from others.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: tectonny on January 20, 2011, 05:43:40 AM
Yes, actually I have 8 groups on my forum, I wanted the ads to appear only for visitors and for groups only 3 ...
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Arantor on January 20, 2011, 05:53:25 AM
Yes, so you have to turn on ads by default and use deny permissions for the other groups so they don't see the ads.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: tectonny on January 20, 2011, 06:37:04 AM
How do I do this?
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Arantor on January 20, 2011, 06:42:29 AM
It's just like any other permission set up in the forum.

You select A for most groups. For the groups who must not see it (and remember a user doesn't have to have that group as their only group) select D. Just like the quote Sinan posted from me above. Just like you set permissions generally in the forum.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: tectonny on January 20, 2011, 07:14:03 AM
Arantor you do not understand, I'm done directly on the code index.template.php because SimpleAds is giving error while getting it right on index.template.php see the code I'm using the index.template.php

if ($ context ['user'] ['is_guest']) {
echo '
<table width="620" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <script <td> <type="text/javascript">! -

}

Title: Re: SimpleAds

Yes, I saw the code you used, I'm not going to go through making that support different groups, because the mod should do it.
Title: Re: SimpleAds

The Mod does not direct the inde.template.php the error function.

But thank you anyway ...
Title: Re: SimpleAds

OK, so where exactly is this new position you added?
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: tectonny on January 20, 2011, 08:19:17 AM
Saeger file index.template.php

Search for:

//patrocinio

You will see that I commented the code that had placed the SimpleAds with \ \ to not work

And below is the code manually placed ...
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Arantor on January 20, 2011, 08:20:43 AM
That's interesting... at that point in workflow, ads should have been loaded as far as I remember.
Title: Re: SimpleAds

If I release the code until SimpleAds works fine, but the pages where I use ssi the error, as the research and my google homepage
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Arantor on January 20, 2011, 08:47:56 AM
Ah... that's something else. I think you should be able to load the Ads handler after including SSI.php but don't know quite enough to be sure about that.

{action} == 'forum', 'contact' blowed up my forum real good.  :)

After rescuing myself with phpmyadmin I thought I'd just ask before trying again.  :)
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Arantor on January 31, 2011, 06:22:23 PM
if ($action == 'forum' || $action == 'contact')

(It would be || - or, rather than && - and, since you can't have $action being two different values...)
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: [SiNaN] on January 31, 2011, 06:25:38 PM
You can use PHP syntax, like:

{action} == 'contact' || {action} == 'forum'

Or:

in_array({action}, array('contact', 'forum'))

I want to add the above position, so that the ads can show just as show up in the below image

I don't think that option is available as seen by the 'positions checkboxes in the screenshot' .. you'd have to request it from he mod author
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Spoogs on February 20, 2011, 10:02:49 AM
Have you tried to use 'Below Menu' (should be fairly close to above 1st post)
The position 'after last post' already exists

The Mod allows to create new positions.. The code above I gave you has to be inserted into some template based on our need. :) Thanks for the reply though!

I have already tried Below Menu. Thats not what I am looking for and I am already using after last post..The screen shot illustrates the ads which is the first topic in any board is the ad and the last as well...

I think because that it is the way it works. You either use the ad for the standard locations or for custom locations. Not both. I just created two ads. One using the standard locations and the other using the custom locations.

Here is a little trick that i always use when upgrading. Just upload the upgrade zip file to your main forum directory and then if you use cPanel, use the File Manager to extract that package, and so within seconds it should extract and overwrite all old files with new ones from the upgrade package. Now, all you have to do if run the upgrade.php and that's the fastest and also safest way (when manually uploading several files, sometimes the FTP connection is dropped and when it resumes it can corrupt the file).

Hi CR Forum,

Good idea, in wordpress i have a plugin WP Greet Box.

Which popup some information while on google and yahoo search engines and even if visitors are coming from social networking sites.

Hope this is an good idea. SiNaN have to decide it.

Start using and understand it detaily.

While using this plugin, when uses come from Google, they will have google based ad.

When user come from bing, they will have bing based ad.

Same like if some one coming from digg , they will be shown with digg welcome ad.

Finally visitor from any social community will be welcomed according and shown particular ad.

SimpleAds is the #1 ads mod for SMF, but it's unfortunately only for SMF2. Either way, the future is with SMF2, but i only hope that Sinan doesn't abandon his mod and keeps updating it for SMF2 for a long time to come. :) The alternatives to SimpleAds are nowhere as good. BTW, why hasn't it been updated for SMF2 RC5?

I have installed this mod and following the tips in this thread can display ads from affiliates (banner ads)or plain text no problem. If however I replace these ads with adsense code, nothing appears.

Is there something that disables adsense on multiple sites or do I need to wrap adsense code in anything special to make it visible?
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: The Mitchelli on May 15, 2011, 09:39:15 AM
Great Mod - I needed to understand exactly how it works before ads show up, but its sorted now. By reading the first few posts in this thread all the info is there.

Just need to work out the location of the Ad, when it will be displayed (or what pages) and who can see it (permissions) and hey presto - great ad management. Now I have powerfull ad management.

thank you again.

Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: agent47 on May 24, 2011, 07:30:58 PM
Yes 1.1.13 is really old. SMF RC5 is the most updated version. But I suggest you stick around until the next week as SMF 2.0 final will be released by that time. Developers have promised that it will be released within this month and you can take their word for it as it was an official announcement.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Spoogs on May 24, 2011, 07:53:40 PM
1.1.13 isnt "old" as it's the most recent version of smf 1

The issue is that this mod was not written to support smf 1 but the other ad mod does

I prefer this over the Ad Management mod due to its less-intrusive file changes and lesser number of queries (it would appear).

Actually, Bloc played a non-negligible part to turn me into a fan of this mod when i was discussing this on his (now defunct) blocweb site.

Keep up the good work!

Download the mod again, uncompress and replace the SimpleAds templates with the the ones from what you just downloaded.
How will i replace the file when i have already deleted the SimpleAds template file itself under my cpanel? or should i just upload the file to the package folder of my cpanel?

Maybe i'm doing something wrong here, I've installed simpleads and inputted the code in the add ad area, and nothing is showing anywhere. I've tried going through all the boxes and still nothing. Running 2.0. Is this not compatible? Any help would be great! Thanks.

I replaced "Ads.template.php" and "ManageAds.template.php", but I'm still gettin the "Unable to load the 'main' template" error in 2.0 Gold.

Are there other templates/files I need to replace?

I went ahead and replaced all files with those in SimpleAds_1.0.1.zip, but the "Unable to load the 'main' template" error continued.  So I gave up and just restored my backup since I couldn't go any longer without access to my forum.

I know there are other SMF 2.0 Gold users using SimpleAds without issue, so I'm guessing I either did something wrong with my SimpleAds setting post-installation, or perhaps one of my other mods are conflicting with it.

Here's a list of my mods if [SiNaN] or someone else wants to investigate this issue for future releases.

While tinkering around trying to get SimpleAds to work on my 2.0 Gold, I think I stumbled upon the cause of my problems.  Custom Display

If I enter anything in the "Custom Display" box, it basically breaks my site for anyone assigned to see ads.  If I leave the Custom Display box empty, everything works as it should (so far).

So hopefully SiNaN can take a look at how Custom Display reacts to the new 2.0 Gold environment for the next release.

I use custom display and it works fine. What are you putting in there? Here is an example of my custom code for displaying ads on the Recent Topics page and the Media page.

{action} == 'recenttopics' || {action} == 'media'

When SimpleAds broke my forum (see my previous posts), I just used the automatic backup (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=400356.0) to restore my forum to it's pre-SimpleAds state.  I never touched my database.

There are definitely some compatibility issues with SMF 2.0 Gold.  It will work, but when it doesn't it completely breaks the forum.

I'm glad I got it working on my forum, but I look forward to the next release.

Is there any support for this mod for 2.0.1?

Unfortunately, I'm no coder and the other ad management mod doesn't work for me as it shows that it fails the test prior to installing it.

If there is no support for this mod, does anybody know how to manually add adsense below the button bar in SMF?

i'm more confused now.. what is the relation between add position and that custom field...

Using that Custom Display field, you can define on which actions you want the ad to be displayed. Like you may have an ad setup for the Overall Header position. You want to display it on board index, help page and search page but no where else. So you'll use the display options. Most of the time Actions and Boards field will be enough. But if you want to define more complex conditions to display the ad, you can use the Custom Display field.

Nope. I don't have time for that. That's something you need to do. I can just help when you can't figure out something with the mod. ;)

Hey Folks,

A little while ago I had installed SimpleAds and everything seemed all good. However I just noticed that my error pages have an error in them and won't render (the irony is delicious). Based on the error message i receive on my error pages, it seems like the problem points to the SimpleAds mod. Specifically it seems like when the error page loads it is unable to find the template_ad_position() function. I've tried to manually include the file Subs-Ads.php in a number of places but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Wonder if anyone has a fix or knows a workaround, like disabling the SimpleAd block when the page is an error page.

This is the error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function template_ad_position() in /home/xxx/Themes/default/index.template.php on line 188

Thanks.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: ArrayInteractive on February 21, 2012, 05:46:09 PM
As a temp hack I was able to wrap the smf function call with a conditional statement so that it does not display on the error page. I'm still looking for a more legit fix though. Anyone, anyone? Bueller?   ;)

Use PHP "or". Like: {action} == 'x' || {action} == 'y'

Is "all" == "all" a wild card for all actions or all boards? Not being particularly skillful at php I found it easier to ad "forum," directly to the default _display field in the DB, which seems to work but is harder to manage.

This program is working really well and I have a question regarding ad positioning. I have edited the index.php files to position the add beside the forum banner in the DS-Natural theme with the following code;

   <div id="mainarea">
      <div id="header" class="wrapper">
         <div id="logo">
            <a href="'.$scripturl.'" title=""></a>
         </div>
        <div id="adbanner">';
           template_ad_position('PPBanner');
           echo '
         </div>
      </div>';

I was wondering what code I would need to insert to have the  template_ad_position('PPBanner') float on the right hand side of the <div id="logo">?

I have seen this CSS code that would work for two static images, could you call the  template_ad_position('PPBanner') from the CSS file?

Session ID

Hi all. Here's an issue I've discovered. Using Firefox or Chrome, if you're logged out and close the browser, the next time you open the browser and select an ad (in this case the ad takes you to a local thread), it adds session ID information to the path. If you go back to the main page (where the ad is located) and select the ad again, the session ID info is no longer added and takes you directly to the href link. Is there any way to avoid the session ID when first accessing the site? There's only the one ad in the right column as shown in the following link.

I am not sure if this is relevant to anyone's issues that I have read in this thread but I will post a code fix for this mod.

The edit to the /Sources/Subs.php file is missing a require command prior to calling one of the mods function. I noticed this today while fixing someone's forum as their php error log (file) was showing unknown function errors.

I will include a bit of extra code to ensure a proper reference.

File: /Sources/Subs.php

Would someone find it in their heart to help me add a profile option for users to enable ads to "support the site"? I currently have ads disabled for users logged in, to keep them happy, but if some want to enable them, I'm not sure where I'd add code.

Please help me. I installed this mod and guess what... I wanna cry. My forum has gone down displaying "Unable to load the 'adsheaders_above' template". I have gone inside the cpanel to delete the simple ads mod, yet the problem persist. Please help me rectify this issue. It is a growing forum with large number of members. forget to backup. Thanks in advance
My site is naijapot.com

Great mod.
Here is the Greek translation.

This is for the existing installation .xml file.
<file name="$languagedir/Modifications.greek.php" error="skip">
<operation>
<search position="end" />
<add><![CDATA[
// SimpleAds
$txt['sa_admin_cat_title'] = 'SimpleAds';
$txt['sa_admin_title'] = 'Διαφημίσεις';
$txt['sa_admin_desc'] = 'Σε αυτή την περιοχή μπορείτε να διαχειριστείτε τις διαφημίσεις και τις θέσεις.';

$txt['sa_positions_add_title'] = 'Προσθήκη θέσης';
$txt['sa_positions_edit_title'] = 'Επεξεργασία θέσης';

This is for a separate installation .xml file that need to be utf-8 encoded.

Clink on 'Add Ad' button and write the html code of your image inside body box like:

<center><img src="URL OF YOUR IMAGE" alt="" /></center>

Then choose the position you want to display the image, the membergroup permissions and on which action and board will be displayed.

That code will work fine. When you added that to a new ad, did you also make sure to check off a place in positions that you want it to show, allow or disallow certain groups to see it, and also check off one of the options in the "actions" part?

Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: br360 on July 29, 2014, 01:21:03 AM
What is still showing in the footer; a lingering ad, or a copyright of the mod? This mod doesn't have a copyright link that gets placed on the forum; and after reading your posts on the other ad mod you installed, is it possible it isn't working because you may have lingering code from one or both of the mods; and they are working against each other?

That copyright is not from this mod. It's from this one- http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=68632.0

And then please post a decent screenshot of the error, if you want partly censor the path but the way you just did is completely useless.

Awesome idea. I have done the same a long while ago ;) I also suggest you to disable the registration there so that you don't get any spambot spoiling your tests and work (and also waste bandwidth). Glad that you sorted it, even if it was the most annoying way :(

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...
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: [SiNaN] on October 19, 2014, 03:01:31 PM
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.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Ninja ZX-10RR on October 19, 2014, 03:10:52 PM
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.

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.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: vbgamer45 on January 22, 2015, 09:18:16 AM
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.

Hello,
  I am using the mod simpleadds although when I chose to have the add placed on the right side of the screen it is not fitting properly. The add is a 200x300 banner and when it is placed the placement has a lot of blank space on the right side of it to the end of the screen.
  I am willing to use another add plugin although need something super easy to use and that has the ability to have the add auto expire in x amount of time.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: br360 on February 19, 2015, 06:58:44 PM
It could possibly be the code of the banner. Are you sure that the width of the banner code is actually set to 200px? Have you tried using <center> tags so you can have the banner placed in the center?

Yes positive it is 200px, had used it as an add on another site and worked great. Sadly the site is gone so cant ask what they used :(. Haven't tried the center tag will try and figure how to do that although if it is centered it would then have a large cap on either side unfortunately.

Hi Guys,
Simpleads works perfectly on my site but there are some adjustments i'd like to make, any help would be appreciated.
Not sure if this has been asked/answered but here goes.

I observed that when Ads are placed "After First Post" they only appear on posts that have replies.
After last post position would help but then i do not wish same content to be duplicated after first post and after last post.

E.g Social Media buttons need to be directly below First post, If no reply to the topic, they don't show.

What do i have to do (copy/paste)

Are you finding-

and replacing that with-

$message['id'] == $context['first_message'] ? template_ad_position('inside_first_post') : '', $message['body'], '</div>

In your display.template.php, do you have any other mod that possible edited any part of $message['body'], '</div> ?

Good. Not sure why that first part of your display.template was modified, but glad it worked. Try playing with the mod and make sure that you can get ads you want placed and looking right. I was going to suggest this-

$message['body'], '';

Replace that with-

$message['id'] == $context['first_message'] ? template_ad_position('inside_first_post') : '', $message['body'], '';

But as long as you got it working and without errors in your logs, you should be ok.

  I will try the larger size the main draw back to it is that the size I currently have is the size that is being used already by every one, so this would mean they would need to create a banner for this site specifically and not just be able to send their normal banner over.

Unfortunately no luck, making the banner larger still had to much empty space. Not sure how other sites have got theirs to work..

Good question. I have installed this mod on quite a few sites and haven't had the issue.

Is this happening on a custom theme or are you using the default one? What is the width of your forum set at? Can you try changing the width in your admin>>Current theme to 95% and see if that makes a difference?

Also, would you mind posting the code to the banner you tried to place on your forum? You can pm me with the code if you would prefer- I just want to add it to a test site to see if there are any issues with the banner code itself.

Hello,
  I changed the theme up to %95 and it did not help, it was at %90. I have left it at %95

It is running the default SMF Default Theme - Curve

I am having this issue on a couple sites using different hosting companies.

Just installed this and it broke my forum!
It says now
"Unable to load the 'adsheaders_above' template."

Where is the file I need to delete to uninstall this MOD?

NB I also have adMod 3.2 installed

Post by: Topman on July 07, 2015, 02:29:08 AM
I just deleted the ads.Template.php file in Themes/Default and replaced it with the ads.template. from my desktop copy of  ad_mod.3.2
I have now uninstalled this SimpleAds Mod

I seem to have lost the admin avatar but everything else looks OK.
Not sure if damage is done though.

Title: Re: SimpleAds after_first_post position changed.
Post by: briggz5d on July 22, 2015, 08:29:10 AM
Hello Guys,

been using Simple ads on SMF 2.0.9 smoothly and was able to utilize the Header below_menu and after_first_post ad positions.
I used a 2.0.10 Large upgrade yesterday and reinstalled all mods.

After first post position has now moved to Above first post. Could someone assist by telling me what code to copy / paste (div for after_first_post ) that would move the ad position to be After first post only?

thanks.

Dear everyone,

My forum stopped working after installing the ''SimpleAds'' mod.

Link to the evildoer in question: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2557

This is the error message that shows up when I try to access my website:

Unable to load the 'adsheaders_above' template.

Nothing else, only that.

Some facts to consider:

1. I was able to install the mod. There was no warning message; the mod was suitable for my version of SMF (2.0.x).

2. I am locked out of the admin section of my forum. Usually, I would simply uninstall (1st step) and delete (2nd step) the mod. That is not possible.

3. I contacted hosting support, but they were not able to do anything. Backups are available, but those backups are 2 days old. I spent the past 2 days building the forum, so using that backup wouldn't be helpful (back to start).

4. I removed the mod from the ''packages'' folder via FTP server / file manager, but that didn't fix it.




So now I hope someone here can help me. How to fix this issue? What is the problem? :)

==

I hope to be hearing from someone soon :).

A quick way to reverse the installation would be:
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/A_mod_broke_my_forum
(which should remind to you to *always* take a backup of your forum before installing new stuff :P )

But the error is odd, I don't see any template call to "adsheaders" in the MOD code :-/

This mod needs some serious troubleshooting by the Cust team if you ask me. It killed my forum as well back in the days, and there are *many* reports of that adsheaders_above thing in this topic, all of them after a successful installation --> not normal.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Kindred on February 12, 2016, 12:08:46 PM
why does it need troubleshooting by the Customization team?

It is the author's responsibility to update, fix or otherwise improve his/her mod. The customization team is not responsible (and in most cases, not legally entitled) to update mods.

If there is a serious issue with the mod, then report it using the report feature on the mod page and it can be removed from distribution..... unfortunately, removing it also locks this support topic.
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: margarett on February 12, 2016, 12:24:16 PM
Then our search function is messed :P because I searched for "adsheaders" in this topic and got no results. And now only my previous post shows in the same search...
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Ninja ZX-10RR on February 12, 2016, 12:32:33 PM
Well because it's not an universal issue, so it doesn't need to be reported in such a bad way (and I for one, won't report a mod by SiNaN, who is SimplePortal developer, with me being on his Support Team), since it doesn't affect *all* forums I can't just say "hey this mod is unsafe remove it".
However, it does have a big problem with some forum configurations, that is very weird. I never said the Cust Team needs to update it, but perhaps help to troubleshoot it, being a potential forum killer in some unknown circumstances.
I honestly tried this mod, it killed my forum (tried twice, both times killed it), but installed successfully on a customer's forum (had warned him about it, though).

As for locking the topic... That's a bit obvious, it wouldn't be much useful I guess ;D

Had some weird results as well, a few weeks back I couldn't search at all, everytime I tried it was saying that I had done a search less than 30 seconds before. Unfortunately, I cannot post in the relevant section, so I couldn't report it.

I managed to solve the problem manually.

I removed the simple ads template file. After doing this, the forum worked again, but it showed a new error (this time within the theme), about how the ads template file is missing. So what I did was reupload the standard ads template file via file manager. This solved both issues. The site, including admin, was completely accessible again. I uninstalled the simple ads mod, and deleted it from package.

I hope ^^ that makes sense to anyone experiencing the same problem :)

PS; The picture puzzle is annoying, 3rd time that I have to retype it. Can't you make it a bit easier?

Unfortunately, we cannot, as it would make it too easy for more spammers to post here if we did.  It will go away away after you have made ten (legitimate) posts :).

Hi All,

Im new to the forum software I am using 2.0.11 and the Exodus reposive theme. I have a small problem with (simple ads) when I setup advertisements on my board I get the advertisements twice instead of just the single ad. I have attached images to show what I mean. Can anyone help or know how I can fix it instead of the same ads doubling up on the board?

Many Thanks

Rob

That means that you apparently installed the mod twice....


the only solution is to MANUALLY edit the code whereever the mod code got duplicated

Are the links in the ads I place dofollow?

Unless you are specifically using a nofollow tag in the html code for your ads, the links should be dofollow.

Does not seem to be working for SMF 2.0.19. It uninstalls and installs without error. It's still running my ads without issue. However, going to Advertisements in admin creates this error:

Call to undefined function create_function()
I am unable to change any of my ads. What could I possibly be doing wrong?
Title: Re: SimpleAds
Post by: Diego Andrés on September 03, 2023, 04:55:49 PM
create_function() is deprecated since PHP 7.2
You would need to manually fix it, but you can also install this mod: https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=4300
