Can't install it, I get the error:

"The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted."

Using SMF 1.1.1

Any ideas?

Thanks

David.

Do you get this error with all packages or just this one.

dsanchez · January 18, 2007, 02:57:38 PM

Solved, I forgot to chmod 777 the Package folder

Ok, i finally got it uploaded the package throught the package feature in smf. I dont see the ad management link in the configuration category in my admin. Where is it?

Thanks,

Norris

Did it install with no errors.

norrisboat · January 18, 2007, 11:12:43 PM

it installed with no errors finally.

. I thought i was home sweet home. After I uploaded/install through smf package screen, do i have to installit again?

Thanks,

Norris

Are you using the default theme or a custom one.

norrisboat · January 19, 2007, 01:47:03 AM

default. Once its on my server do I have to run packages/temp/instal.xml? Ive tried but that page just displays the xml code in IE.

Thanks,

Once it's uploaded through the package manager all you should have to do is go to "Packages" and look for the name of it, beside that their is an install link. Click on it and if there are no errors then install it.

If you have tried that and have also changed permissions on all the files and folders that it modifies then it should install with no problems. Have you checked the error log to see if there are errors there.

norrisboat · January 19, 2007, 04:53:04 PM

I tried installing a different mod to see try and dicpher the errors when i installed the ad management mod. Im getting an insane amount of errors when i install a mod in my forum error log, however there isnt one at all during install. It says the package has been in installed successfully and you should be able to us whatever functionality it adds. None of the mods Ive installed work.

Thanks,

Norris

This might have something to do with mod security. Search the forums here about it and a way to bypass that. Other than that all I can think of is maybe the files aren't "owned" by you in which case you would have to talk to your host.

supposedly the theme that i am using needs this to be installed in the display.template.php page.. how would i go about doing that?

HEY GUYS WHERE IS THE ARABIC FILES I DONT KNOW WHY U IGNORING US?

Bigguy · January 20, 2007, 08:01:21 PM

have you checked out www.smfads.com to see if they are there. If they are not maybe they need to be translated still.

Rotate banner code doesn't work under 2.3 ad mod?

Just now i installed 2.3 ad mod successful ,then added below code :

Code Select

Insert into <BODY>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">



<!-- Begin
var how_many_ads = 3;
var now = new Date()
var sec = now.getSeconds()
var ad = sec % how_many_ads;
ad +=1;
if (ad==1) {
txt="The World's Largest Online Bookstore, Amazon.com";
url="http://www.amazon.com";
alt="amazon.com";
banner="http://imageserv.imgis.com/images/Ad12669St1Sz1Sq1_Ban1.gif";
width="468";
height="60";
}
if (ad==2) {
txt="Palm III by 3Com, in stock!";
url="http://cybershop.com/";
alt="cybershop.com";
banner="http://imageserv.imgis.com/images/Ad13189St1Sz1Sq5_Ban10.gif";
width="468";
height="60";
}
if (ad==3) {
txt="Find it at GoTo.com";
url="http://www.goto.com";
alt="goto.com";
banner="http://imageserv.imgis.com/images/Ad13700St1Sz1Sq1_Ban1.gif";
width="468";
height="60";
}
document.write('<center>');
document.write('<a href=\"' + url + '\" target=\"_top\">');
document.write('<img src=\"' + banner + '\" width=')
document.write(width + ' height=' + height + ' ');
document.write('alt=\"' + alt + '\" border=0><br>');
document.write('<small>' + txt + '</small></a>');
document.write('</center>');
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

But it doesn't work ,got error:

QuoteParse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in

Bigguy · January 21, 2007, 02:06:29 AM

You should only need this code:

Code Select

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">



<!-- Begin
var how_many_ads = 3;
var now = new Date()
var sec = now.getSeconds()
var ad = sec % how_many_ads;
ad +=1;
if (ad==1) {
txt="The World's Largest Online Bookstore, Amazon.com";
url="http://www.amazon.com";
alt="amazon.com";
banner="http://imageserv.imgis.com/images/Ad12669St1Sz1Sq1_Ban1.gif";
width="468";
height="60";
}
if (ad==2) {
txt="Palm III by 3Com, in stock!";
url="http://cybershop.com/";
alt="cybershop.com";
banner="http://imageserv.imgis.com/images/Ad13189St1Sz1Sq5_Ban10.gif";
width="468";
height="60";
}
if (ad==3) {
txt="Find it at GoTo.com";
url="http://www.goto.com";
alt="goto.com";
banner="http://imageserv.imgis.com/images/Ad13700St1Sz1Sq1_Ban1.gif";
width="468";
height="60";
}
document.write('<center>');
document.write('<a href=\"' + url + '\" target=\"_top\">');
document.write('<img src=\"' + banner + '\" width=')
document.write(width + ' height=' + height + ' ');
document.write('alt=\"' + alt + '\" border=0><br>');
document.write('<small>' + txt + '</small></a>');
document.write('</center>');
// End -->
</SCRIPT>

Banner rotation does work but you need to have 2 ads placed in the same spot. So if these are 3 different ads create 3 different slots, one for each and check off that they show inthe same spot and they will rotate.

Hello...i used the latest version of this Ad Mod and it is workig fine using SMF Default Theme...

However, upon using another theme, it is not showing...can you please tell me the problem....

Thanks in advance...

Bigguy · January 22, 2007, 04:01:30 AM

If you are using a custom theme you will have to do the edits manually. I have posted them all here for all versions of the ad mod:
