Hi Guys,

I tried to install the hack but I'm getting the following messages:

Can someone please help? I've had tons of trouble getting phpadsnew to display properly on vBulletin. Any help would be appreciated.

Your openbasedir config isn't allowing the location that you have installed openAds to.

So you need to edit httpd.conf and add the location that you installed openads to or move the openads location.

I know nothing of your config, but usually their is an httpd.conf for each user so you can fix it for one account and not all.

Good luck.

jw00dy,

Thanks for your help. Is the httpd.config a part of phpadsnew or vbulletin/ Also where can I find it and what should I look for inside? Thanks for your help.

it's a part of neither. httpd.conf is the configuration file for apache webserver.

The other option is to install openAds in a location that's not restricted (meaning it's already allowed in openbasedir.

I can already tell you need to just remove it and then install it in a normal location like public_html/openads/ or public_html/forums/openads/ or something along those lines.

Thank you sir!

I was able to forward your feedback to my tech and he was able to help me solve most of the problem. Thanks again!

How do you get openads to display on the left sidebar?

Default banners are displaying good.

I created a user account to added a Banner and it is not showing.

as of now it is displaying the Default banner but what do I do so it rotates the Default and the new banner that I just added?

I added the banner to the header template using the <ad what="foo|bar" />

do I need to change this to make it display both ads

what is the advantage of using this plug-in over just inserting the generated javascript by phpads ad I've been doing for the last 4 years?

thanks in advance.

The advantage to me is that I don't have to modify my templates to change ads.

I can using openads, change them if I please. If I change my channel, I just update openads with the new code for that zone and I'm set. It really makes it easy.

You can also run more then one type of ad in the same spot, as openads will take care of rotating to a different ad size for you. So you can run full banners, half banners, and leader board banners in the same spot. Just add 3 different banners tied to the same ad space and you're golden.

This adds the code so that setting up your locations is easy using either keywords or zones. I recommend it.

I upgraded from PhpAdsNew to the lastest Openads
And now a have a problem.

The banner image don't show



When i go to properties
i get this

Look at the URL (that's the problem)



I have tried different things but stil no solution

I hope someone can help me. :confused:
