AI Hub Migration ⚠ BREAKING: requires DEB/AiHub 1.0.0+
ALL AI features now route through the central DEBtech AI Hub — no more standalone OpenAI/OpenRouter integration
Per-feature model selection: Keywords, Descriptions, Smart Placement, Smart Match, CTR Optimization, Fraud Detection — each can use its own model independently of the Hub default
Model-Selector dropdowns show curated models grouped by active provider with [Provider] prefix: [OpenAI] GPT-4.1 Mini, [OpenRouter] Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4, etc.
Cost tracking, API keys, budgets, and provider selection moved entirely to the Hub Dashboard
AI Decision/Outcome Logging remains in the addon for CTR effectiveness and fraud accuracy tracking
Upgrade step auto-migrates old API keys, budgets, and default provider to AiHub config
AI Features remain PRO (license checks preserved)
Security Hardening (Audit Fixes)
CTR AI suggestions now validated against whitelist before being applied to Ads (display_mode, position)
Prevents AI hallucinations or tampered log entries from breaking ad rendering
Performance Optimizations
AiFraudAnalyzer cron: 5 individual COUNT queries consolidated into 1 query with conditional aggregation
Ghost Click Detection rewrite: guests without fingerprint are marked suspicious but no longer hard-blocked (prevents false positives for legitimate guests)
Ghost + extreme burst (50+ clicks/window): hard block as confirmed bot behavior
Flood mode: marks guest clicks as suspicious but never blocks navigation
Anchor link clicks use skipGhostCheck (fingerprint impossible via direct <a> navigation)
Admin bypass: administrators skip all fraud checks entirely
OpenRouter Balance: uses real /api/v1/credits endpoint for accurate account balance display
AI Log Dashboard: "Credits Remaining" now shows actual balance instead of Budget minus Costs
Bug Fixes
AiFraudAnalyzer cron: normal fraud detection results (Risk Score 98-100) no longer logged as XF errors
Template filter deb_amzebay_anchor_links: wrapped in conditional to prevent "filter unknown" error when MaZ/AMP addon creates Templater without event
OpenAI credit option: changed from unsupported data_type float to string with PHP cast
Options cache: direct DB writes now properly invalidate xf_data_registry cache
Advertising Suite Pro v2.1.2 — 2026-03-22
Fraud Detection Overhaul
Referer-Based Bot Detection: guests without valid forum referer are immediately blocked (bot_no_referer) — catches 90%+ of click fraud bots
Configurable Ghost Click Threshold: new admin option "Ghost Click Threshold (per IP)" replaces hardcoded value — default 5 clicks per burst window
Referer check runs before flood check, preventing bots from bypassing detection as flood_guest
FraudDetector uses XF Request wrapper instead of raw $_SERVER access
Manual IP blocks: redirect to Amazon but strip affiliate tag (no commission for blocked IPs)
Reset All Blocks: one-click button in Fraud Dashboard to clear all IP blocks
AI Features
AI Descriptions and Smart Placement now work in Lazy Load (AJAX) path — previously only server-side rendering
AI response caching: descriptions and placement rankings cached for 24 hours (Redis L1 / DB L2) — eliminates redundant API calls, reduces costs and load time
Fixed cache key lengths exceeding xf_data_registry 25-byte limit — AI cache now uses short keys (prefix + 16-char MD5)
Click Debug & Export
CSV Export: new "Export CSV" button in Click Debug with all current filters (date, IP, marketplace, suspicious status)
AI Tab: dedicated "KI" settings tab with brain icon, separating all AI configuration from general settings
AiService: centralized AI provider abstraction supporting per-feature model selection
AI Product Descriptions: generates context-aware product descriptions matching the thread topic instead of plain Amazon titles
Smart Ad Placement: AI ranks products by relevance to the thread context instead of default API order
AI CTR Optimization: daily cron job analyzes click statistics and generates optimization suggestions for ad positions and display modes (admin review dashboard)
AI Fraud Detection: hourly cron job analyzes aggregated click patterns to detect bot attacks that rule-based detection might miss; sends admin alerts on high risk scores
Statistics Filter: all dashboard pages (Statistics, Revenue, Traffic Analysis, Forum Performance, Product Ranking) now have an ad type filter dropdown (All / Amazon+eBay / Custom Codes / Amazon only / eBay only)
Carousel Display Mode: new auto-scrolling carousel for product ads with navigation dots, prev/next arrows, hover pause, and touch swipe support
OpenRouter Integration: multi-provider support via OpenRouter (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Meta, Qwen models accessible through a single API key)
Per-Feature Model Selection: each AI feature (Keywords, Descriptions, Placement, CTR, Fraud) can use a different AI model — cheap models for simple tasks, expensive models for complex ones
Improvements
Model Updates: added GPT-5.4 Nano/Mini/Full, o3-mini, o4-mini for both OpenAI Direct and OpenRouter
Reasoning Model Detection: automatic handling for o-series (o3, o4-mini) and GPT-5+ models (no temperature, max_completion_tokens instead of max_tokens)
Connection Test: now shows correct provider name (OpenAI/OpenRouter) in title and success/error messages
Provider-agnostic Phrases: all AI-related phrases use {provider} placeholder instead of hardcoded "OpenAI"
Settings Reorganization: AI Prompt moved to end of section, Connection Test placed after all provider options
Section Headers: blue separator bars between "KI / LLM-Anbieter" and "KI-Features" sections
Branding: renamed "Amazon - eBay ADS" to "Ad Suite" / "Advertising Suite Pro" throughout all templates, phrases, and log messages
KeywordExtractor Refactoring: now uses centralized AiService instead of direct CURL calls
build.json: carousel.js now correctly included in release ZIP via additional_files configuration
Advertising Suite Pro v2.0.2 — 2026-03-20

Ghost clicks are now subtracted from statistics to prevent inflated click counts
Enhanced fraud detection for bot attacks from different IPs targeting Amazon affiliate accounts
Bug Fixes
Click statistics now correctly exclude blocked/suspicious clicks from totals
Fraud detection performance optimized for high-traffic scenarios (server load protection)
