i direct linked to the admincp admin file for the system, and it just isnt working. i followed the instructions verbatim, using 3.0.7 but cant get it to work. im gonna give up till the final release is out.

if there is no link in the admincp, then either the autoinstaller couldnt make the change to your admincp-index.php page, or you simply didnt copy it from gish/gab/rc1/admincp

Nothing much can speed things up anymore than they are. IMO, this is totally usable. The couple of things that need tweaking are of minimal consequence. The biggest problem is making it a little more obvious how the system works however once you have it up and running its pretty obvious.

ANyhooo - right now Im on vacation in Spain so there isnt a great deal I can do until I get back. The release of vb3.5 is causing most mackers to spend most of their time rewriting and porting all their stuff over and Im no exception there ;)

Ok, I went to bed last night and woke up this morning determined to get this to work. I created a brand new database and created a fresh new instance of vbulletin 3.07 (just did this for testing purposes before I take it over to the live forum that needs this mod). Did a fresh install of vb and then did a fresh clean install of this GAB modification.

I looked through the install notes...everything was a success. You're right about the phrases not working until you rebuild them, so I did that to correct that problem.

Still no GAB link in the Admin CP Panel, not a problem, I just type in the link to access GAB_admin.php

So I go there to add a new banner. I notice if I choose to upload the banner, I get the following error:

Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/danielm/domains/randomtime.com/public_html/forum/gab//0/randomcomputers.gif): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /includes/gab_class_admin.php on line 400

Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpFBi63B' to '/home/danielm/domains/randomtime.com/public_html/forum/gab//0/randomcomputers.gif' in /includes/gab_class_admin.php on line 400
Got some freaky error.

So the banners are not uploading, that's where I'm stuck at.

so what about my issue?

do you have a gab folder in your forum dir? Also, check your settings for a trailing slash for your server path. You will see there in the error message that you have 2 ;)

rgsmdr - sounds to me like an odd URL option in the banner. Its the same basic redirect regardless of the browser you are using. Can you provide a link?

well now it wont work in any browser...

chances are its just a misconfiguration in the settings.
Can you paste the results from settings->debug?

Clicked install. Great hack, and awesome work.

Just two things that I'm having problems with:

1) Created a custom template for an HTML ad I have. This template has been added as a banner in the MASTER Ad Block along with a static banner, but users only see one banner no matter what page the view in their session.

2) When the uploader PUTs a file in the banner directory, it's permissions are set to 600. I have to manually change permissions on each banner. Server config issue on my end?

Thanks so much for taking a glance at this.

The only thing I noticed at a quick glance is that you only have 1 $GAB_ads in your templates but 2 blocks defined in your Master script which means you need $GAB_ad[1] somewhere to display your other ad block. Stick $GAB_ads[1] somewhere and you will see the second ad block.


Off the top of my head, the banner CHMOD shouldnt be a problem. What happens if you dont chmod it and what are you changing it to?

HTH´s

I've just upgraded to 1.6 from 1.1, and I have something strange on advertising.php - top left hand corner, screen grab attached to show what I mean.

Will advertising.php be where people can sign up for new banners? I always thought it would be this, as a place where they can it all themselves .... or am I wrong?

Cheers!
