Ads Manager by Siropu [Paid] 1.26.9

[Siropu]

1. It's working fine for me.
2. Seems to be a bug with custom hooks and page criteria. Will be fixed in 1.15.0

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

New Features & Bug Fixes

Version 1.15.0 comes with a cool new feature called "Geo Targeting", which allows you to display ads by country.

You can allow users to use geo targeting when creating ads by setting the new permission called "Use Geo Targeting".

Also, in this version ad units will have the position hook as an extra class so that you can style ads by position. The CSS class can be viewed by editing the position.

Bug Fixes

• Custom positions didn't worked with page criteria.
• Missing...

I'm getting this server error..

ErrorException: unserialize(): Error at offset 49 of 361 bytes - library/Siropu/AdsManager/Helper.php:895

What could be the reason for this?

 

[Siropu]

If you have upgraded to 1.15.0, you can delete that file because it was renamed and moved to a new folder called "Helper".

This works great for me, but I just need one little feature. I have a node/forum which cannot display adsense. To exlude ads from this node I have to include ads in all the other nodes. This means I can't show ads from one position everywhere in the forum but that one node. Is it possible to have an exclude node selection box?

 

[Siropu]

I don't know if I will add this option in the future.

Hi Siropu,

I'd like to ask how to prevent the banner showing in "Members" page? Like in the profile, etc?

Also, I hope you could include a feature to prevent more than 1 banner from 1 advertiser showing at the same time. This is so important for us having multiple advertisers.

 

[Siropu]

"member_notable" is the template name.

Also, I hope you could include a feature to prevent more than 1 banner from 1 advertiser showing at the same time.

The ads are in different positions or in the same position?

Hi @Siropu,

Sorry for always asking. I just have some concerns..

1. If I set the permissions to

• View Ads - Yes
• Create Ads - No
• Geotargeting - No
• Daily stat - Yes
• Click Stat -Yes

...the advertising navigation disappears. How can I show only the stats for my advertisers?

 

[Siropu]

Without "Create Ads" it doesn't work.

 

[clove28]

Thank you so much!

The ads are in different positions or in the same position?

In different positions. Because all my advertisers has an opportunity to be rotated to all 3 positions, I don't want to see 3 banners showing in one page at the same time.

 

[clove28]

"member_notable" is the template name.

The ads still showing after I placed this to content template is NOT member_notable

UPDATE: now it's gone after several refreshed..

 

[Siropu]

In different positions. Because all my advertisers has an opportunity to be rotated to all 3 positions, I don't want to see 3 banners showing in one page at the same time.

So you have a package with 3 positions for advertisers? My suggestion is to create a package for each position you want to sell or use positions that don't get on the same page.

Yup. Here's my settings:

Advertiser 1 campaign (3 banner slots-header, footer and sidebar)
Advertiser 2 campaign (3 banner slots-header, footer and sidebar)
Advertiser 3 campaign (3 banner slots-header, footer and sidebar)

They are rotating randomly at those 3 positions and visible to every page because they are not competing companies. Sometimes, 3 banners from the same advertiser show all at once.

The sticky ad is a good idea that could be taken a bit further. Include the thread creation, specify the available forums it's allow to post to, allow package to set a prefix, whether it's sticky or not....

Forums often have classifieds for private party ads. If a small business or individual with a product wants to skirt the spam rules this ad manager can provide an option without breaking TOS. Post using the ad manager. If they want to pause the thread, give the admin the option to set what that means within the package. Unstick the thead, soft-delete, etc. Unpause, re-stick, un-delete.

I could see the same usage being applied to a forum used for announcements, where advertisers would use the ad manager to post / announce a business event. As an example.

 

[Siropu]

I might do something like that in 2.0.

Can you also include an automatic email sending for the ads statistics to the advertiser?

 

[Siropu]

We'll see.
EDIT: 2.0 will come after XF 2.0 will be out.

I'm receiving this error sometimes. What could be the reason for it?

ErrorException: unserialize(): Error at offset 247 of 250 bytes - library/Siropu/AdsManager/Helper/General.php:895

ErrorException: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() - library/Siropu/AdsManager/Helper/General.php:929

 

[Siropu]

Not sure but I will look into it. It's nothing serious so don't worry about it.
