I'm tripping on on two things:

I seem to have the system installed (I get to the control panel)

But I can't figure out the right call to make (I'm not a PHP coder) get the ad into the template.

Also, unless I'm missing something, I can't see via FTP where the ads are being kept (I thought in GAB directory).

It's entirely possible I'm a moron, though, and missed something obvious.

Help.

The banners (images and flash files) will get uploaded into the gab folder as long as your settings are correct (i.e. the server path is correct and the url path is correct).

You also need to make sure that you have $GAB_ads[0] in your tempalte somewhere (i.e. the top of the navbar template) and make sure you moved over the edited files from gish/gab/rc1

IF still having problems, PM me an admin account to check it out.

Hiya,

I'm having a similiar prolbem as phillpf. The banner images are uploading to 'gab/0' . I have $GAB_ads[0] in my template aswell. Also, When I go to edit an image there is no image already displaying.

I've gone through your list and all looks checked off.
Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Shawn

Hey Shawn, was this an upgrade from the earlier beta?

Can you check that the templates listed in settings->templates exist in your styles? (i.e. gab_item_image)

First off, I am a new Vbulletin user (former phpBB2) and an very pleased to find this mod! It is exactly what I am looking for (I have never liked phpAdsNew...too hard to operate). Thank you for all the hard work and effort The Geek!

Anyway, downloaded and installed the mod today. No errors, only had to do the save phrase thing to get the words to show in the GAB menu. All is cool with that. Also was able to upload a banner! Excellent.

Now the problem, my forum (brand new 3.0.7 install with only CSS style changes done to it) just comes up with a blank screen. I placed the old Global file back in the root and the forum comes up! Hmmm! So I uninstalled the mod...reinstalled and the same thing.

Any ideas? Something goofed with Global or......?

Yep, it shows in my default template ( as well as custom_custom1, custom_adsense, item_flash, item_image, rotating, wrapper_standard).
When I create another banner, and up another image it goes to the same folder (gab/0), could that be the problem ?

The folder (in this case 0) is a structure based on the userid (in other words, userid 0).

Gimme a few - im looking into it.

definatly sounds like a bad global.php edit. Try making the edits manually.

Thank you....I did try that earlier (several times) but I must have included some spaces or did something wrong?! I think sometimes it is good to walk away from this stuff for a couple of hours and then come back to it :)

It is working now.....I have banners uploaded and will now attempt to get them to show up on the board!

Thanks very much for the fast reply!!!

Is it possible to have specific banners appear only on specific forums? I think so if I am understanding the logic correctly (or maybe I am not understanding it):

If I wanted a specific banner to appear on a specific forum, could I create a new category (with for instance, "showthread", "forumdisplay") that only applied to that specific forum and then set the desired banner to that category? Then I would have to add "$GAB_ads[x]" ("x" being the Banner ID number) to my header template and it would only show when that forum came up? Am I thinking about this too hard or.......

One more thing.....I tried putting the $GAB_ads code into the navbar template but nothing happened. I just created a table <table width="100%" align="center"><tr><td>$GAB_ads[2]</td></tr></table> but I am thinking that is the wrong way to do it?

Please help! :)

Sorry for the stupid questions! I seem to know just enough to get myself in trouble :) And for what it is worth, I will be happy to donate some cash for this. It will be a GREAT tool!
