Ads Manager by Siropu [Paid] 1.26.9

[clove28]

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

The Inside banner slider is still not working as expected.

Here's how:

Package setting
Max ads - 10
Max ads display - 10
Rotate ads - 10 secs

Banner 1 only shows in nodes A, B, C, D, E, F, G

Banner 2 only shows in nodes E, F, G, H, I, J

However, the above setting only shows one banner and doesn't rotate it at all.

You have 2 banners with the same package but with different page criteria?

Yes that's correct. Is it possible?

 

[Siropu]

My idea with packages was to group multiple ads so that you can rotate them and control the settings from one place instead of having to edit each ad. What are you trying to do should work in theory but I will do some tests to see if there are bugs or limitations.

But this will be waste of memory in the database if I have multiple banners for each advertisers that I will rotate in different locations. I need to re-upload the same banners instead of just giving each one a page criteria.

Another question, is it possible to show the advertisers their banners even if there's no purchasable package listed in the front end? This will be helpful for the advertisers to know which of their banners receive the most number of clicks.

I think you are complicating things. My suggestion is to create a package for each position you want to sell and leave the rest to the Ads manager. You only have to approve the ads and the rest is automated. Don't worry about the database because it won't take much space. Anyway, I will investigate the problem next week to see if there are any issues.

Yes. If you have created the ads for them, use the "Change Owner" feature.

I have created 3 packages for inside first post location...

Package 1 - (3 advertisers) Show to nodes A, B, C, D, E

Package 2- (1 advertiser) Show only to node F

Package 3 - (1 advertiser) Show only to node G

Only the package 1 works while the other packages are not showing up.

Yes. If you have created the ads for them, use the "Change Owner" feature.

If the package is not purchasable, it won't show. And here's how it looks like with the owner's account.



Where can I see the banners here?

 

[Siropu]

That's weird. I will look into it.

I thought you were referring to the ad itself. Images are not displayed there because advertisers should know how their banners looks like when they submitted the ad.

Not sure if or how this could be done, but a banner placed under the first unread message in a thread along with criteria that a thread had at least X posts in it, would be a great addition. This would make the position user variable which is a big ask of this add-0n, but would place well for active view viewable.

 

[Siropu]

@South Fork, Not sure if this can be implemented in version 1.x but I will make some tests.

P.S. Thank you for the review.

 

[Siropu]

@clove28, I've done some tests based on your setup and I don't see any problems. If you have created the ads from the Admin panel, make sure the ads have inherited the package settings.

 

[Southfork1]

@Siropu, ad position [Conversation] First Post Below Message using adsense code is breaking the page when you hit reply to a conversation. The reply gets posted, but is blank accept for the ad.

 

[Siropu]

@South Fork, I've just done some tests and the only problem I see on that position is that the ad is being displayed with each reply but it doesn't break anything. I have tested it with a 728x90 ad unit. What type are you using?

 

[Southfork1]

xF 1.40 / AMngr 1.15 / Adsense 728x90

 

[Siropu]

I will see if I can prevent the ad from showing on reply.

Can this serve banner ads based on guest ip location. I would like to display a specific set of ads to uk visitors and another for US.

 

[Siropu]

Geo Targeting is based on the user IP and it allows you to do that.

Awesome. Can this apply to guests as well?

 

[Siropu]

Applies to any user group.
