Has anyone integrated phpadsnew with magnus's AdColumns1.0 ?

I want to add a sidebar that rotates the display order on my forum on every refresh. I already have the zone and ads setup, just not sure how to deliver it with this script.

Hi,
I've struck a slight problem which I can't workout. I have tested the following on my internal test site which works flawlessly following the instructions on page 1 however no matter what I do it doesn't show the banner.

My phpinclude_start is as follows

Quote:

if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/sponsors/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
$phpAds_raw = view_raw ('', 0, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
}

I've then put in my header

Quote:

<center>$phpAds_raw[html] <center />

I've removed the 'center' part but the problem is persisting that's for sure. No error bounces back just no banners are displayed and the pages looks as normal as it normally is.

Any ideas would be great.

Cheers
Darren

I'm using Max Media Manager 0.1x (same as PAN2.1) but I can't make it work. The phpinclude_start has this:

PHP Code:


		
			
ob_start();
    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/maxserver/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw = view_local ('', 5, 0, 0, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
    }
ob_end_clean();

But on the forum I get Database error

Quote:

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Not familiar with MaxMediaManager, but your view_local function call isn't specifying a zone, and the PHP Ads new function is view_raw.

Also, is you're ad server on the same machine as your vbulletin? If not that would explain the SQL error, which appears to be caused by the SQL server you're talking to not having the appropriate table.

Michael,

Thanks for the information. It works great.

Oddly enough, on my first site, it gives me the option to use local invocation, but on the second, only javascript.

This is probably due to the fact the second site is on a different webserver, but alas, it works.

Thanks again

For the life of me, I can't get this to work. Here is my phpinclude_start template:

PHP Code:


		
			
/*
// Example of how to include a seperate file:

ob_start();
include('yourheader.html');
$your_code = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

// Now place a reference to $your_code where you want the resulting HTML to be displayed.
// This will most likely be the header or footer template.
*/

    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/a/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:24', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
    }

The invocation code was cut-and-pasted from phpAdsNew (which I've been using successfully with Javascript invocation for ages).

And here is a snippet from my footer template showing two different zones, one with local invocation and the other with javascript:

PHP Code:


		
			
<!-- 120 x 600 zone -->            
$phpAds_raw[html]
<br />
<!-- 120 x 240 zone -->
<script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript'>
<!--
   if (!document.phpAds_used) document.phpAds_used = ',';
   phpAds_random = new String (Math.random()); phpAds_random = phpAds_random.substring(2,11);
   
   document.write ("<" + "script language='JavaScript' type='text/javascript' src='");
   document.write ("http://www.bigblueball.com/a/adjs.php?n=" + phpAds_random);
   document.write ("&amp;what=zone:19");
   document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.phpAds_used);
   if (document.referer)
      document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referer));
   document.write ("'><" + "/script>");
//-->
</script><noscript><a href='http://www.bigblueball.com/a/adclick.php?n=aa4c0db4' target='_blank'><img src='http://www.bigblueball.com/a/adview.php?what=zone:19&amp;n=aa4c0db4' border='0' alt=''></a></noscript>

The javascript invocation method works fine, but not the local method. You can see this in action here. Note that the ads actually appear in the right-hand column, even though the are part of the footer template.

Any ideas as to why I can't get local invocation to work?

EDIT: As a test, I tried local invocation on a non-forum page at the same site, and it works fine. You can see this on http://www.bigblueball.com/index.php (it's serving the 120x90 ad in in the right column). Still can't get it to work in the forums though.

EDIT: After re-pasting the invocation code a second time, it seems to be working now. Nevermind..... :)

I am experiencing a strange problem when using this script.

To begin with, I originally added the banner to my page with the ob method described on the vbulletin website. When I found this thread, I removed those methods and added the php code directly to the include file as described here.

The banners work fine.

Unfortunately, I have a "shoutbox" module (CMPS) which is not working now that I added the phpadsnew script to my header. The shoutbox has not displayed properly with either method of calling the phpadsnew script.

The reason that I know these two are related, is that in the shoutbox module window, I get the following error message:

Table 'bannerads.adv_shoutbox' doesn't exist

So obviously, phpadsnew is changing the database from "forum" to "bannerads", running the script, and then for some reason not going back to the original database. I am guessing that it needs to do a USE FORUM sql statement in order to get the default database back into the focus.

So, do you think it is the phpadsnew or the shoutbox that needs the tweak? Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Thanks.

I'm also having a logout problem. Whenever my phpinclude_start is calling phpadsnew.inc.php, my vBulletin logout function is broken. clicking Log Out just returns a blank page and doesn't actually perform the logout.

Ideas? I'm using vBulletin 3.0.7 and phpAdsNew 2.0.5. I did try both with and without "Use database compatibility mode".

Thanks for a brill tutorial Michael!

Can I just ask you to check what I'm doing is ok please? (It all seems to be working ok)

I have two zones on the same page and this is how I've set it up:

My phpinclude star file contains:

HTML Code:

if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/adserver/phpadsnew.inc.php')) 



if (!isset($phpAds_context))

{

     $phpAds_context = array();

        $phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:2', 0, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);

}

{



$phpAds_context2 = array();

        $phpAds_raw2 = view_raw ('zone:3', 0, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context2);

 }

And the pages contain:

$phpAds_raw[html] -where I want the first zones ads to show, and,

$phpAds_raw2[html] -where I want zone two ads to show.

It all seems to be working fine, but just wondered if I have done it right or not!

Thanks for looking.

I haven't used the script in this thread at all to use phpAdsNew. I've set it up as if phpadsnew were residing on a separate computer all together and simply called it using the invocation code generated in phpAdsNew for each publication location. This works fine and i'm using it on several sites.

http://www.bostonlove.org uses it for several spots on the site include the top the middle and the bottom.

http://www.yyzlifestyle.com uses it for the stuff at the bottom.

I've tied it into the vbaffiliates hack so that it counts each link in the affiliates module each time someone clicks on the appropriate affiliate's banner - all of this with just using phpadsnew without customisation for vbulletin.

I'm even using it to track who clicks on my paypal donation buttons.

$phpAds_config['log_adviews'] = false;

}

If you need to use your phpadsnew installation for non vbulletin pages you'll need to create seperate versions of phpadnew.inc.php for vbulletin and your other pages to call.

May I just double check that if I want to include several usergroups, the id numbers would just be separated by commas?

For Example:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6,7,8))

Hey Michael, not sure if you're still paying attention to this thread or not, but....

I tried setting up the Maintenance.php to be run via the Scheduled Tasks Manager. I'm receiving errors when running it:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /var/www/mysitename.com/html/forums/includes/adminfunctions.php:222) in /var/www/mysitename.com/html/phpads/libraries/lib-cache.inc.php on line 16

What could this be attributed to, and does this mean the maintenance script is NOT running?

Mine weren't working either. However, I discovered I did not have the Publishers & Zones setup correctly. Then only one of the two banners was showing up. It turns out that one of the banners was not 468x60 as I specified... it was off by one pixel.

Once I correctly created the Zone (I'm only using one banner location, and it's on all my pages... hence only one Zone) and linked the banners, and corrected that one banner's size, everything worked fine.

The phpAdsNew interface isn't the most intuitive. I had to read *gasp* the manual to get it correctly setup. Read the documentation, double-check the banner dimensions, and review the instructions on this thread. All should work.

Best of luck!

I am investigating replacing my banner serving scripts integrated with vBulletin with PHPAdsNew.
My script has a lot of features (geotargetting, limited impressions per ip, advertiser updatable adverts) but I'm wondering whether PHPAdsNew will do the job better.

I have read the instructions at the top of this thread but I don't think it will work in my case. Unless I am missing something.
I serve 3 or 4 banners on each page :

Very top Run of Site 468x60 which is invoked from the page header,
Forum-specific header
Forum-specific skyscraper (not shown in thread view when there is only 1 post)
Forum-specific footer.

I invoke my ad serving script with a zoneid.
There are some 'custom' zones like 'ROST' for run of site 468x60 top banner or 'ROSASIANT' for the Run of Site Asian DVD reviews top banner, but most banners are in specific forums.
The zone id is made up of the forum id number (originally generated and used by vbulletin) and a letter - H,S or F for header, skyscraper or footer.
It's called from FORUMDISPLAY and SHOWTHREAD php scripts and then displayed in the FORUMDISPLAY and SHOWTHREAD templates.
The skyscraper invocation only happens when there is more than one post in a thread as otherwise the page looks rubbish with a large skyscraper on the right.

Given that I need the forum id and in showthread the number of posts, I don't see how putting the invocation code in the headinclude script is going to work.

Please help.
