Is it possible to add an availability calendar, etc. for advertising spaces?

Hello @Siropu , please when's your next discount sales coming up?

Hello @Siropu , please when's your next discount sales coming up?

Honestly, this addon is already underpriced considering how much revenue you can generate from this system.
Have you tried using the lite version for a starter? It's nearly the same with some limitations.
If you're going to do direct ad sales to vendors, I'd buy the full version.

Yeah, you're right. His add-ons are top quality, I already use the Chat add-on on my forum LiveGoal, and it's been awesome.
But, I know for sure he does discount sales during festive periods or thereabouts, I'm not certain. I'm looking forward to getting some more of his products then.
I checked out the Lite Version, it's cool but I'd rather go for the full version

Has anyone ( @Siropu ) received this email from MaxMind ?

I'm not sure if / what I would need to change on our installation of AdsManager to HTTPS, specifically: "MaxMind will only accept GeoIP download requests sent with the more secure HTTPS protocol."

ssl is cheap and in a lot of cases, free.

Thanks for the quick reply.

My site is already fully behind/on SSL. I only use MaxMind for this addon, so I'm not sure why MaxMind is saying I have any "downloads" (requests?) via http when, again, my entire site and all calls are/should be HTTPS

So, I guess I'm wondering why any calls to MaxMind are being made via HTTP in the first place and what I can do (settings in the addon, etc?) to have all requests be made via HTTPS?

it does reference your account making the calls. When did you switch to SSL?

My site has been on SSL since 2012

I followed the most basic instructions for installing the addon, setting up MaxMind, etc., and installing it on a fully secure HTTPS site... so I have no idea why there are HTTP requests, and why others aren't getting this same email from MaxMind.

Add-on requires the manual download of the maxmind database, no requests are made.

@Siropu I display ads in the sidebar to guests. How would you recommend maximizing the ads in the sidebar? Basically filling up the space?

So if there are just 2 posts which allows sidebar space for 2 ads vs 20 posts that would allow many more.

 

[Siropu]

How would you recommend maximizing the ads in the sidebar?

You can use Position criteria > Minimum results on page
This will allow you to display certain ads based on the number of posts.

Any way to differentiate between results on page in forum view, thread view? The vertical size difference between list of 10 forums vs 10 posts is quite a bit.

@Siropu Is there a way to utilize the Display Priority based on the ad position itself? So it wouldn't matter if the ad type was Code, Banner, etc

Using Page criteria > Controller and action is:

XF:Thread :: Index

XF:Forum :: Forum

is there a way to utilize the Display Priority based on the ad position itself? So it wouldn't matter if the ad type was Code, Banner, etc

No because you can't combine ad types.

Is there any way to get the promo thread prefix to override the nodes prefix rules?

I created a new prefix just for promos, but obviously I don't want normal users using it, so I didn't assign it to any nodes. However, it seems Ads Manager follows the rules of this, so won't assign the prefix?

Is that intended behaviour?

Edit: Actually stepping through the code, is



only used if the user is able to choose their own prefix and this is just the default?

I thought this was a way to assign a prefix to an ad that didn't have one defined by the end user (either because I don't allow custom prefix choice for them, or it's used as the default when they can)

If it's not a feature, then I would like to request it

It looks like {$ad.email_inline_style} in siropu_ads_manager_ad_macros email template isn't working. I tested it with the ad_banner macro (not sure about others).

Edit: Unit alignment, Unit size, and CSS class don't seem to be working either. Unit alignment doesn't change and <img> is width: 100%; max-width: 100%; regardless of ad size.

<xf:macro name="ad_banner" arg-ads="!" arg-position="">
    <xf:foreach loop="$ads" value="$ad">
        <div style="{$ad.email_inline_style}">
            <xf:if is="$ad.content_2">
                {{ ($ad.content_1 ?: $ad.content_2)|raw }}
            <xf:else />
                <a href="{$ad.getEmailTargetUrl($position)}"><img src="{$ad.getEmailImageUrl($position)}" style="width:100%;max-width:100%;" alt="{$ad.content_4|for_attr}"></a>
            </xf:if>
        </div>
    </xf:foreach>
</xf:macro>

It's supposed to be configured here, right?

Can this button to view packages be more prominent? Maybe a different button type used like on the home page with dark buttons on my site?
