Did you install the 2.0 BETA version of the mod?

actually it is proper when you go in the drop down type admin panel... but dunno why it happens like this when its in normal mode...

Finally i do it!

I trie to edit some codes, and i "discovered" ( XD ) a file that we need edit, to activate ads for all members

Simply go to :

Quote/Sources/ManagePermissions.php

find:
Code Select Expand
'pm' => array(

And Replace With:
Code Select Expand
'ad_manage' => array( 'ad_manageperm' => false, ), 'pm' => array(

Bad idea. Doing this will make the entire permission system for the mod faulty and useless. You can edit the permissions screen to enable for other groups.

Permissions. You need to edit the permissions of the membergroups. In this case, groups 2 and 3.

Sudhakar Arjunan · August 15, 2008, 01:40:50 AM

Yes you are right. But i could not do it for my group 2 and group 3. Even if i add permisson and update it , it is not saving that particular box.

You remember what we have tried.

Alright, I made the changes for you.

I modified the code into your template_main_above() function to this:

Code (Line 253) Select Expand
<body>';

Code (Line 256 (What I added)) Select Expand
$x = array(2, 3); $y = false; foreach ($x as $group) { if( in_array( $group, $user_info['groups'] ) ) $y = true; } if( $y == false ) { if( function_exists("show_topofpageAds") ) { $ads = show_topofpageAds(); if( !empty($ads)) if( $ads['type'] == 0 ) echo $ads['content']; else eval( $ads['content'] ); unset($ads); } }

Code (Line 255) Select Expand
echo '

Look in the template_main_above() function. You'll see the word global, followed by words with $ in front of them and comma's.

Simply add $user_info to this list.

Like so:

Code Select Expand
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

To

Code Select Expand
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings, $user_info;

The $x variable that I defined is the array that contains the member group IDs that you want to exclude from seeing top ads.

In basic SMF, the moderator ID is 3, global moderator is 2, and admin is 1. If you have different ID's as your membergroups, please alter the variable like so:

Code Select Expand
$x = array(2, 3);
Code Select Expand
$x = array(#, #, #, #, #);

With "#" as a numerical value that corresponds to the group ID and separating using a ",".

So you are already right.

I saw my member group . It shows 2 as global moderator and 3 as moderator.

But still i could see adds on the moderated board.

I would like to complete this and make this work today. Hope you will help me.

Hi Bonkerspr,

go to admin panel, select Ad Management from left side menu.
Create Ads and past the code from google. And make sure if you want the add to be center use this sample.

<center>
Google Ads
</center>

configure or select boards , and locations to place ad tc.

Click submit and enjoy using the Ad Mod.

learjet45 · August 18, 2008, 02:05:01 AM

I would like to say that this seems like a wonderful mod, thank you for making it!
Now, I am having an issue. I have uploaded the correct package (I am on SMF 1.1.5), and it says that I passed all tests. Now, I install it and apply the mod, but I dont see anything I should be seeing. I dont see the Ad Management in the ACP, and none of the text shows up where it should be modifying permissions for groups to see the ads. I really would like to get this up and running, but it doesnt seem to want to work. I dont want to try manually installing it, because I am new to all of this and I dont want to risk messing up any files. Anyone know how to fix this?

Yep, use OpenX

Hi everyone!

Having a problem.

I will use a few ads on forum and when I log in as user not as admin, ads don't show up. I checked already ad management section, checked - Display ads in the welcome user area- but sill just admin can see them.

Can't figure how to make them visible for users?
