Ads Manager 2 by Siropu 2.5.7

This release fixes a bug with the embed package feature where ad order/rotation and limit not working as expected.

This version contains some changes that could trigger some board errors during the upgrade. To prevent this, disable add-on or board before starting the upgrade process.

• Incorrect discount value when package discounts are combined with promo codes.
• Package option "Max purchase" resets to 1 when package is edited due to a JS event.
• When a pending ad is edited by the advertiser, purchase value (if package option max purchase is set) and promo code (if applied), are not set to the previously set value.
• If advertiser has the permission to use criteria and sets custom criteria, it gets overwritten when the package is saved.
• Queue processing issue with package empty slot count not updating on ad save.
• When an invoice is paid, promo code is unset from the ad, showing incorrect cost amount in ACP ad details.
• Max purchase option and promo code not displayed in the ad extend overlay.

• Other code issues.

Ad option "Exclude from package empty slot count" has been added as a separate checkbox row to be able to use it without having to inherit package settings. Both options will now be hidden when no package is selected.
