Might be off topic
Is it possible to place a link on the mod page (that would re-direct to a site or page that would have the information on how to build ads) for those of us that don't know how?
Thanks,
Cloud

I don't have the time to write such documents. I'll add some help pop-ups for the next versions though.

I figured that some instruction existed elsewhere, and you could just link it.

  I can't seem to get it to show when selecting (After First Post.) or (After Last Post).
  The rest of the options are showing ok when testing.

  How can I get it to show for after first post? Do I need to edit something?

  Thanks for any help.

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.

Where/How to change Rotation Ads timing?

It doesn't have a timing. The ad will change for every page load.

Thanks SiNaN...

Awesome mod!

But i've found 2 bugs:

1. even when ad is inactive - its status on ads list is "active"
2. impression counter for images is ok, but for complicated banners as GoogleAdSense isn't working at all. How to fix it?

1. even when ad is inactive - its status on ads list is "active"

Right. Thanks for the report!

I'm looking forward to release a new version soon with adding some new features.

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

Code Select Expand


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.

do you have the  smf 1.11.1 parse file?

[Javeed]

Found 1 more bug:

Thanks, I'll fix that as well.

do you have the  smf 1.11.1 parse file?

It doesn't work with SMF 1.1 versions. Only SMF 2.0 versions.

it would be great if you expand that "in various locations of forum"... where?
people needs to know!

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.

I don't like writing long and fancy descriptions to my mods. I'll be adding some help pop-ups to the mod in the next version though.

---->>>> 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.
Be Well and Take Care,
Cloud

First of all thanks for this great mod

Bump.

Any ideas/suggestion? I'd love to use this mod

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