Ads Manager 2 by Siropu [Paid] 2.8.1

[Mr Lucky]

Which version are you using?

Aha, that must be the issue. I thought I was up to date but its 2.6.1.
However when I login I find my account has changed to Customer 7W1 so I'm not quite sure what's going on or what to do.

 

[Siropu]

Go to your licenses page and get the latest version.

My old site has been moved to xenforo and since usernames were optional, I have generated random usernames. You can change your username.

Upgraded top 2.8.0 and custom fileds fine now, but discounts seem to be screwed up

This is by design, see release notes. Radio buttons served little purpose and added to confusion.

Since the update I am having a problem withmy top banner not being centered.

It is a carousel with fade, 1 ad to display at a time. Before the update it was cemetered but now is not.

I much preferred with the radio buttons.

The new version is suddenly blocking some of my code based banners from displaying. Is it safe to roll back to the previous version that worked?

I tried disabling cloudflare, in case it was the cause, but no difference.

I can call code based templates directly, still, but I was calling a "selector" code that was picking the appropriate template for the month and holiday. That is the one that stopped working just by updating the version.

I'll re check the code and see if I can figure out why, but wanted to share that behavior changed with this new version.

UPDATE I am all set and used AI to troubleshoot the issue. It changed the code and it is working once again. It didnt like how I was looking at holidays that have moving dates in the new Ads Manager 2, but was fine in the previous version. Now it is being a bit more careful. ok to disregard!

Thanks for the placeholder fix and...

...this is brilliant, thanks!

QUESTION; is there a way to display all the current ads on one dedicated page? Right now they are all dispersed across the whole forum. Ideally if we could display them by size to avoid chaotic mosaics? A member inquired about that today.

Thanks!

Can make it an option...

What happens if you do not set a custom size?

is there a way to display all the current ads on one dedicated page?

Yes. There is an admin option called "Enable advertisers page" where you can see them all.

Yes. There is an admin option called "Enable advertisers page" where you can see them all.

OK, so how does it work? I'm wanting to have a page anyone could look at, not just admin. That could increase clicks to have an overbiew of all that's being offered on the forum.

Where is the page displayed? Any other settings required? Do you have a tutorial?

 

[Siropu]

OK, so how does it work?

You enable the option and it will display a link to it in the "Ads Manager" tab menu in front-end.

Has this path: ads-manager/advertisers

OK yes but will evervbody be able to see that page? That is the maink reasn i would activate the link. I dn't think non-Admins can see that Ads Manager link, only admins?

 

[Siropu]

It is public not only for admins.

It is public not only for admins.

Thanks! almost there! Sorry to be a bother but it would help to have more precise details of what is required to display the ads. We have a lot of them.

- Resource Manager is not installed.
- Media Gallery is not installed.

I wonder what else is required and needs to be enabled.

Active ads (advertisers).

 

[Siropu]

Active ads.

That too but the page is for ads created by advertisrs from front-end. Howerver ads have a setting that allows you to inlcude them regardless.

We have over 160 active ads on one forum and dozens on another one... what setting do I use to include them on that page? A tutorial would be great...
