Ads Manager by Siropu [Paid] 1.26.9

[Spartan]

Use the user criteria option "User is browsing with the following style".

Thanks. Just figured it out. Is there a user manual ?

I'm testing things out and can't seem to get it to work.

My test is a code ad, and I just put "Xyz" in the box for code, so I can identify if it's working.

I selected below top breadcrumb.

But I don't see it working like I did on your test site.

 

[Siropu]

Have you set the user group permissions?
Are you using any criteria?

 

[Spartan]

I created a new code ad and in user criteria I checked is logged in, and below that I selected "temery" (me) as username is. In device criteria I checked all three. Everything else is unchanged.

What else do I need to do?

 

[Siropu]

Is the global user group permission "View ads" set?

 

[Siropu]

I'm referring to permissions in Admin > Users > User Group Permissions

 

[Spartan]

Ah. Think I've got it. I'll get back to you if it doesn't work. Thank you for your patience.

Edit: All set. Thanks!

Question: how do I place an add in a thread after the 5th reply?


Also - a bug. I have a forum that doesn't meet Adsense guidelines, so I have visitors to the forum sent to a style with no ads (via "override user style choice"). The override works, but there are ads carried over from ads manager.

If you go to the-boneyard.com then to the "cesspool" you'll see what I mean. If you change your style to AO (not using ads manager) then go to the cesspool, the ads disappear. Not a major bug, but I figured I'd let you know.

Question: how do I place an add in a thread after the 5th reply?

Use the position "After Post x Container (Can be used with "Item ID" option)" and in position criteria add 5 in "Item ID" option.

As for the "no ads style", if that style has the hooks used by Ads Manager, the ads will show up. There are also custom positions added using template modifications.

In the next release you can use page criteria to exclude certain forums/nodes but display the ads on other non-forum pages.

Next question: how does the "U" flag work? I want to aet this up to show the ad at the next unread reply, but I'm not sure how to use it. Which position do I select?

 

[Siropu]

It works with any of the "Thread Post" category positions.

 

[Spartan]

It works with any of the "Thread Post" category positions.

Works flawlessly. Best add-on I've ever installed. Not just in what it does, but with how easy it is to use.

 

[Spartan]

Is there a known bug affecting cookies? It doesn't seem as though I go to the next unread post in a thread.

 

[Siropu]

What do you mean?

 

[Spartan]

What do you mean?

Problem was on my end, not with your add on.

Question though: with the "U" flag, what does it do if it is a previously unread thread? Does it show an ad somewhere?

 

[Siropu]

It shows an ad every time there are unread posts.

 

[Spartan]

It shows an ad every time there are unread posts.

If I use U and L, if the last unread reply is also the last on the page, will it show two ads?

 

[Siropu]

No, it will show up only 1.
