phpAdsnew

[flstreetscene]

Can this software be run on 3.5 using local mode invocation? If so how do I go about this? I've been searching continiously between here, vbulletin.com, and phpads forums and found no answer.

[Andreas]

I didn't try it, but as it was possible in 3.0 it should be possible in 3.5 as well - Hook global_start seems to be a good place.

Did you mean phpadsnew? I use this plugin and it works fine. Just edit your templates where you want the ads. (and if you have more zones you have to ad them)

[flstreetscene]

I'm sorry but what code goes where?

When I import that plugin it comes back with an SQL error;

MySQL Error : Table 'florida_phpads.session' doesn't exist

[MrWee]

I also get the "MySQL Error : Table 'XXXXX_phpads.session' doesn't exist" error.

In fact, i get 2 SQL on the same page.

Before the upgrade to 3.5, it worked fine, and after the upgrade, I copied and pasted the exact code from the phpinclude_start template into a plugin with the global_start hook.

This is the code

if (@include('/var/vhosts/com/s/i/s/sistersofbreastfeeding/htdocs/_/adserver/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
$phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:4', 0, '_blank', 'http://sistersofbreastfeeding.com', '0', $phpAds_context);
$banner = $phpAds_raw['html'];
}

these are the errors:

Thanks in advance for your help

Yeah I use it on my site, I just didn't do a plugin, I modified global.php to include the PHP.

[MrWee]

Thanks acidburn0520, I tried that as well and get the same result as when i add it as a plugin.

[Kirk Y]

Hmm... that's strange.

includes/affiliate_include
<?php
//RANDOM AFFILIATES
if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/forum/phpAdsNew/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
$randomaff = view_raw ('zone:2', 0, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
}

//DIRECT (3D PROGZ)
if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/forum/phpAdsNew/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
$progaff = view_raw ('', 2, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
}

//DIRECT (HALOGRID)
if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/forum/phpAdsNew/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
$haloaff = view_raw ('', 5, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
}

//DIRECT (SOCOMSOURCE)
if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/forum/phpAdsNew/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
$socomaff = view_raw ('', 6, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
}
?>

global.php
// ################################################## ###########################
// Start initialisation
require_once(CWD . '/includes/init.php');
// affiliates
require_once('./includes/affiliate_include.php');

And then I just call them in my templates using the appropriate variable. You did all this correctly?

Yes, like i said above, i literally copy and pasted the code that in used in the phpinclude_start template under 3.0.8. It worked fine in that version.

First i added it as a plugin wit hte global_start hook, then i tried adding it directly to global.php like you said.

Does the mysql error give anyone any ideas? it seem to be looking for a db table that doesn't exist, what in the code would cause this?

EDIT:

I found the solution in another thread:

[Kirk Y]

Ahh... never would've thought of that. I couldn't figure it out, but glad to hear that it's now working for you.

[Trana]

Can someone explain how to "upgrade" phpadsnew to use the new 3.5 modules/addon system? I have 3.0.7 with phpadsnew working fine, and I upgraded a test system to 3.5 and now my banner ad doesn't run.

I'm not too familiar with the 3.5 hooks so I was wondering if someone could explain what changes need to be done.

Thanks!

I need help too... hope to hear about vB 3.5 and phpadsnew integration so that I can get it into place.

Thanks

I paste the invocation code in my header is this ok?

www.localracechat.com

[tgreer]

You can place the invocation code anywhere it makes sense to place it. Do this via a hook. I place mine in the "global_start" hook.

Then, you place the variable created by the invocation code, wherever you like. Header is fine. If you user the variable within a template used by a function (like the postbit template), you'll first have to declare the variable as global, also via the appropriate hook.

I explain all this in the link I provided.

[dieselpowered]

Forgive the ignorant question, however, is there a benefit to using local invocation versus remote? I have the remote version in my header and it works fine??

Thanks!

[Sergio7889]

Well, i don't get any errors, but no banners show up!! Please help!

[Zilvia]

Anyone willing to give any support on this?

I have one setup of this working great on a web host company for my website Boostaholic.org.

I set it up correctly and tried what seemed every other possible way to configure it on my hosted computer that runs my large website Zilvia.net and I cant get it to display. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

if you still didn't know why it's not working when adding the code to global.php or as a plugin:

Set $phpAds_config['compatibility_mode'] to true in your config.inc.php of your phpadsnew installation.

Phpadsnew Problem !!

Yesterday I had a problem with the server. I completely restored the server (Cobalt Raq550) to a fresh install. After that I restored the Backup (I’m lucky the backup was only a few ours old) from the website and mysql.

The website works again. But there is a problem.

When a user Reply on a post it goes wrong. I give you two examples. This was working fine before I restored the server.

#1

Quick Reply > When clicking the send button “Posting Quick Reply - Please Wait” appears and noting else. When I refresh the page the post is made. So after the post is made the page will net refresh.

#2

When ik use the button “Post Reply” I go to the page “newreply.php?do=…..” I type in a message and click “Submit Reply” then the next page can’t be found? I get a IE error screen. Again if i go back to the tread the message is there.

After a lot of searching I fond the problem. If I disable the phpadsnew plugin (post #3) it is working fine !!

Can somebody please advice me.

[imported_infitech]

isthis going to work in 3.6.3?

Hi Guys,

SOrry I've been trying to get phpadsnew to work on my site for 2 days alreayd and I can't figure out why it doesn't display the threads. I followed the directions and uploaded the plugin with the folloing code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
- <plugins>
- <plugin active="1" product="vbulletin">
<title>PhPadsNew</title>
<hookname>global_start</hookname>
- <phpcode>
- <![CDATA[ // Ads
if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpads/phpadsnew.inc.php'))
{
if (!isset($phpAds_context))
{
$phpAds_context = array();
$phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context);

$phpAds_context2 = array();
$phpAds_raw2 = view_raw ('zone:2', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context2);

$phpAds_context3 = array();
$phpAds_raw3 = view_raw ('zone:3', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context3);

$phpAds_context4 = array();
$phpAds_raw4 = view_raw ('zone:4', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context4);

$phpAds_context7 = array();
$phpAds_raw7 = view_raw ('zone:7', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context7);

}
}
]]>
</phpcode>
</plugin>
</plugins>

My question right now is what do I do after this? I have zone 1 defined in phpadsnew with a couple of banners linked to it. Can someone tell me what I have to do after this?
