Ad Management mod

[vbgamer45]

I would try contacting your host and see if they can disable mod_security just in case.

Questions about up updating Ad Management mod.
SMF 2.0.17

Should an older version (3.2) of Ad Management be uninstalled before installing the latest 3.5 version?
Or can you just install the new version?

In either case, will the list of adverts be preserved or will they need to be re-entered?

Many thanks.

[vbgamer45]

I would suggest if you can.
Yes all data is safe in the system on uninstall.

I am adding a long line in "Which boards should this ad display in" and I get:

Data too long for column 'BOARDS' at row 1
File: /home/translat/public_html/forum/Sources/Ads.php
Line: 278

Ideally, I would use an option to exclude boards from the specific ad. What can I do now?

This is the line I used:
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126

I understand if you left it blank, it will show in all boards.

found them here https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?action=parse

Think you mean https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=255 in the 'packages' tab... action=parse is a generic link that doesn't contain any specific instructions.

Running version 3.5d on SMF 2.1 RC4. The permissions are not enforced correctly and ads show up for everyone including member groups where ads are not enabled. I had to turn on deny permissions on the forum and explicitly deny ads on some of the member groups.

[vbgamer45]

What setup do you have for permissions? Are the permissions on the primary membergroup? Or are they secondary groups?

They are primary groups. One group is Global Moderators and the other is Donators. The "Enable ads" option is unchecked for both groups, but they still get ads. It was not until I used a deny that they stopped getting ads.

that's because SMF has an INCLUSIVE permission system.
If a user is in *ANY* group which has the permission set to ALLOW, then the permission will be available for that user - regardless of how many groups the user is in that has a DISALLOW.

The exception if the DENY option, which is EXCLUSIVE.
If a user is in any group which has a permission set to DENY, then the permission will be UNavailable for that user - regardless of how many groups the user is in that has a ALLOW.

In other words, it sounds like the permissions are working exactly as expected based on SMF's design.

Hello, I just wanted to say that the left padding on the odd elements is a bit strange
