Ads Manager 2 by Siropu [Paid] 2.5.8

@Siropu I tried checking the option "display without a wrapper" and then I come back and it's not checked. Please test your add-on to verify what settings are persisting or not. There seems to be several issues going on here.

Hi, is there a setting that would make the ads expire and stop showing automatically after a certain period?

Yes, you can set a start and stop date/time. You can also set a limit to how many times it is viewed and/or clicked.

If you are using a package and the ad is inheriting its settings, you have to make the changes in the package instead.

Thank you, yes I see I have "Inherit package settings" checked. A few suggestions:

1. Consider doing like XF does with styles, show "Inherited" below settings that are inheriting so we know where to make changes and not confuse people like happened to me
2. Show what package is being inherited maybe below the checkbox "Inherit package settings" so I can find the correct package to make changes in.

I have banner 250x250px "Sidebar above", which is activated already, but it doesn't appears on main page. I get showed only a "#" as you can see in the bellow screenshot.





What could be the reason ?


And how can I also place several "Above Sidebar" ads one below the other, in a box (if possible with box title) as shown in the screenshot below ?

Take a look in the "Custom HTML" field.

You can either use a code ad with this HTML:

<div class="block">
    <div class="block-container">
        <h3 class="block-header">Ad title</h3>
        <div class="block-body">
            ad content
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Or create an HTML widget and a new Ads Manager position and paste the code of that position in the widget.

Anyone else having trouble with affiliate links not working in conversations/direct messages?

The controller name seems to have changed so it needs some adjustments.

You have many screenshots from the admin side (backend) of the screen, but can you add an example banner on each location on the front end so I know where the banner and other features will be visible to the public?

There are 180+ positions. If you want to test it there is an admin option that allows you to see most of the positions where thy are placed. Please send me a DM to give you access.

After (advertising) promo thread has expired (In ACP under List Ads, it show as Inactive), it is still visible instead of being deleted (for public view).
What is this related to ? How can I fix that issue ?

There is no option to soft delete but I can add it. Try using "Move expired promo threads to selected forum" instead.

@Siropu another suggestion I can make as a result of countless feedback from our advertisers (such as when I requested active packages only for certain user grades) is to give the option of reserving a time frame in which to activate advertising.

So for example advertising can be activated right away, but it can also be purchased now to be activated in a month's time, for the maximum possible time configured by us.

By doing so, a user can buy advertising for a day of a specific month or for a week of a specific month and so on. Maybe even with a configurable limit, i.e., you can buy the advertising slot from today until the next three months or a year.

Another problem we often encounter is explaining when the ads of the people in the queue will be active, it would be great to specify in the notice when the last one in the queue will expire, not the first one, because currently the message says “from X” but in reality it is not the real time but it is only when the next ad will expire.

Also it would be great to show the activation date somewhere in the ad management panel. @Siropu

Is there any way to prevent these from being counted in the ad click performance?
I have hundreds of this happened for every minutes. It's clearly bot not human. Can we exclude clicks or view by bots from the ads stats?

Try using "Hide from robots" setting.
