Firstly, im sorry for not giving replies here for a while as i have been so flat out on VB TRADER.

@ Guidster

Did you manage to fix your problem??

Secondly, I want to thank everyone for their responses and great raves :)

The future of Arrow Ads.....

I am planning some big things for arrow ads..

1) Change the banner url to image upload instead of direct link.

2) Make the banner modifyable by the advertiser. They will be able to activate / de-activate the banner of change the banner image if required.

3) The intergration of VB Trader. I will build an addon so members can pay by Paypal for their advertising costs and then once they have paid, they will then be able to upload their banner to the arrow ads system so once they have finished the banner will be automaticly added to the banner bank :)

Less work and more money for you :cool:

If they want to sponsor a foum or php file you will still have to do that manualy.

I was not really reporting a problem, I am just trying to integrate Arrow Ads into the Archive Hack by Xenon and Skuzzy as I get at least 1000 visitors to my archive per day. These are views and potential clicks that I would like to capitalize on.

This hack uses a couple of php files to feed search engine spiders .html instead of dynamic content. As a result, many people come to the archive. Just trying to leverage some more exposure for my advertisers.

Thanks,

Ok I will look into that intergration with the next version of arrow ads :)

With the intergration of VB Trader and arrow ads simply means that I have to do some updating of the arrow ads code.

Arrow Ads will still be free

The intergration coding to allow your members to buy, upload and activate their own banners will all be added to VB Trader.

I have a problem. I don't want any forum specific banners. I added them all to the banenr bank it doesn't rotate evenly at all. Can you help me? I have another VB where it does work fine so I know I installed it correctly. Could another hack be affecting it? I made sure to completely remove VB_Advert Management.

The whole reason I installed this hack was because the VB_Advert management stopped rotating the ads. I'm so frustrated right now.

hmmm,

Ok so you have 1 version working properly and another that is not .....

I dont think it would be affected by other hacks.

The only thing I could put it down to is maybe the version of php that the server is running.

The system on my site works fine, however others have reported similar problems as you have. The version of php running ion the server could affect the random adility but im not totly sure.

trafix : Can you give the hack capability to serve HTML ads also ?? like the ones we see on site point forums.

UPDATE - changes- 26/05/03
Basicly we are changing the "date added" to "date expired"
to upgrade will take you 5 mins. This is being done to make it easies to see when your ads expire and will be required for the new Arrow ads / VB Trader intergration hack to allow banners to be auto active upon payment via paypal .

The last thing you need to do is add this code to link to your stats page,

<a href="userreport.php?s=$session[sessionhash]">Add Stats</a>

---- What is this and where does it go?

ok this is a link to where banner owners can view their banner stats.

you can put this whereever you like, maybe in the use cp or the footer. Maybe you have a list of members links.
