Ads Manager 2 by Siropu [Paid] 2.6.1

[NealC]

Thanks for the update @Siropu but maybe you can help me with a problem on my site RVForums.com. When a user (like me) clicks New Posts and then clicks a thread that's ongoing, XF will scroll me to the top of the post, which is good. However, after that the ads load which are mainly google responsive ads and then the thread scrolls up another jump which is annoying. How can I prevent this? It seems possibly some page resizing is going on after the ads load.

How can I prevent this?

Only if you set a fixed height in the inline style setting.

Just wondering if an advertiser buys a promo thread, is there a way to only allow them to only post paid for threads, ie so they cannot post "normal" threads?

I'm aware this could be done by allowing promo threads only in specific forums, and the advertiser can be added to a specific usergroup, but so far I don't see a way to do what I want via normal permissions.

I'll do a bit more testing, maybe that group can take out a promo thread ad in spite of having "never" for their node permission

Feature request: Make expired promo threads read only.

Siropu updated Ads Manager 2 by Siropu with a new update entry:

@Siropu , Thanks for the updates!!

There are positions for ads above video player already with a close button.

I tried playing around with this type of ad.
The ad is mute on default. When unmuting it and closing the ad- it keeps playing in the background.
Is there any way to fix this?

I used JS to add the controls (so users could unmute the video easily)
and also changed the close button to be disabled for a couple of seconds before users can click the button
but the video playing in the background even when closing the video ad- is really troubling me.
Is there anything to do?

You have added a video ad that displays above attached videos in posts? The overlay is hidden upon closing, it is not removed but I will make the change to remove the ad from the page.

Since updating my banner ads are not showing

Are you using lazy loading?

Are you using lazy loading?

No

 

[Siropu]

Check the package if you are using one and the ads and try to save them without changing anything.

 

[theinvisibleman]

There's no package. I have cloned and resaved

Is it possible to create a group in XF, let's call it Advertisers, and through Ads Manager, give this group permission to create ads for free with a limit?

Example:
Create group in XF called Advertisers.
User upgrades to group.
Allow this group to create four promo threads and one sticky per month. Is this possible, if so , how?

Thanks!

I have set that up by using promo code. The code displays to the usergroup via a notice.

Use case:
Member can't post in a forum, instead of buying a promo thread buys a user upgrade which allows three promo threads per month. Something like that. Not a package, but a user upgrade which allows it.

Minor Bug: In General Options, three options are "Prevent ads showing in these templates:", "Prevent ads showing on these pages:", and "Exclude pages from AdBlock detection:" - by wording you would assume the last of these 3 options is also looking for a list of pages, when in fact it is looking for template names like the first option listed. I believe the 3rd option listed here would be better named "Exclude AdBlock detection in these templates:" The explanation of the option explains it's looking for templates and so does the input, there is just a disconnect with the option naming.

Yes this is exactly what I have done, users in user group “Supporters” get a limited number of free promo threads

Maybe you changed the template did you merge the template changes?

Per month?
