Hi anyone !

I just installed this hack , and i got some problems.
If i click on Packages in acp i get this error :

if i wanna add a Package , i get :

Someone got an idea to help me ?

Many thanks.

packages are not implimented yet - just ignore for now :)

Can you look at the stats of each banner?
Can I add more banner zones? like at the bottom?

you should be able to add the banner varible in your footer template also

And the zone will appear on the ADM I assume



and do youn now If I will be able to llok at stats something like this

I have a Problem
I upload the files at their location and

I allready install it and shows :

File Changes complete.
All files I changed are in /Beta 2.0. You will need to copy those over to their forum locations once you are satisfied they are changed correctly.
Completed Install!

When I go look up those files I couldnt find them
And on the admin cpanel can find the option

look in your gish folder :)

Ok I fond them So I put the index.php in the admincp folder and de global.php on the buletin root.
When I try to get inside de admin y pops this error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in /homepages/44/d125171713/htdocs/forum/admincp/index.php on line 581

I think I found the problem
On the ADMINCP folder
The Index.php file

On the line 581

...........

= false;
// === GAB ===

................

I just tipe
$printhr = false;

............

And it works Does this change was right

Ok now when I save on the configure option happen this.

yea - no ads are getting pulled because you have no ads yet ;)

Maybe this needs a default ad for each ad type so when the ads run out something is shown? ;)

in what folder should I put the adds?

the gab folder... then you need to add them via the admincp

I have a problem
The install didnt creat the vb_GAB_packages table at the database

vb_GAB_packages' doesn't exist

I want to creat but dont know the values for

Ordinal
Title
Id
Asc

known issue - that side of things isnt implemented yet. In fact - Its being removed from this hack all together.
I am working to make the GAB hack stand alone then a seperate system to pull GAB and GAL togehter in a user module.

Now that GAL 4 is ending RC, Im picking GAB back up to finish its development.


As you are area aware (if you have been following the thread), I am going to decouple the user management side of GAB from the core system in order to make a stand alone banner system. Once that goes gold, I will then release a new hack that will allow users to purchase and manage their own GAL entries and/or GAB entries.

Anyhoo.... Saying that... I was hoping to include adsense support. Can anyone give me some details of what is required to spit out google adsense? Is it just a couple of settings? Are they static? Would a template sufice?

Thanks all.

Adsense is basically a "set and forget" system that consists of some html code dynamically served by google. If you allow text based banners, then you already support Adsense.

But tracking clicks and impressions is a different story though, you might well be able to track impressions, but sometimes the ad is just a PSA, which makes impressions inaccurate IMO.

Having said that, not being able to track adsense is not a big deal IMO, since google already offer such feature in Adsense CP.

-k

I dont think you can track the clicks for adsense or any other HTML ad...
I have a banner exchange I run and if I put an HTML ad in I can only track the impressions. I have had no problem with this.

I run phpAdsnew on a few sites and it says it can edit the HTML ads code to track clciks, not sure if it works because i am scared to test it hehe

Just goto your adsense login page and look, even this pricey one does not have it.

anxiously awaiting :D

I keep getting "GAS_settings_saved" phrase missing when I try to edit settings. I am also getting DB errors when trying to add packages. I used the installer included even though the topic says there is not one. So what gives

read the thread - the packages are not implimented yet - thats why you are getting the package error and the GAS_settings_saved phrase missing is a known issue - all be it a mionor one.

Thanks

So what should I do to make it work? I would like to use both your hacks as they are exactly what I am looking for.

It will work fine - just dont use the packages - thats a user interface option not needed for the banners to work.

I still cant get it to work. I try to upload banners but i still see nothing on the entire site.

Geek - love your work. I admin 2 sites and have some of your hacks on both.

Anyways, found a bug and it's been mentioned in the thread, but not exactly addressed. Here's the code.

Seems that the initial '$printhr = false' is not being completely deleted or it's just a typo in the manual instructions.

Well I've read most of the thread now. Disregard my previous post, although I still don't see that it was mentioned that it was written that way in the manual install instructions.

Anxiously awaiting the new release!

On the admin shows de banner with no problem
On the forum wont show it.

When I run the test shows this

Any one??????

That test is saying that
You dont have a valid script to test (ie there is no banner specified for that script)

Make sure you have valid scripts ticked in the settings and a banner that is also ticked for those scripts

Please Geek Sorry
But Im desperate couse is the only thing missing before going online. Can you go to my admin and check its ok
I allready check and re ckeck and dont seem to find the problem

Thanks 100000 :)

There were a few problems.
1- Admin usergroup had the option of turning off ads if the bio was blank.
2- No $GAB_ad1 appeared in your templates (so no ad would appear)
3- Only forumhome was ticked - I did forumdisplay for you.

Ok thanks
so the 2 point is the one missing
How do I add $GAB_ad1 and on what file?

you ad it to whatever template you want ads to appear in (i.e. navbar). Read the README as it explains all.

ok when i go into packages i get

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

i have tried reinstalling the database but still no luck, anyone able to give me a manual run of the sql or somthing

packages are not implimented yet. You dont need them for the ads.

Hi, thank you for your system. I am keen to work with it.

I found mistake during my installation. I had to change index in admincp and global.php myself.
I got message to do it so it is ok up to now.

But then i was directed to do as follow:
step 200
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in admincp/index.php, replace:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$printhr = false;
if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
{
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

with:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

= false;
// === GAB ===
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAB_settings'], 'GAB_admin.php?do=settings');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAB_display_ads'], 'GAB_admin.php');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAB_add_ad'], 'GAB_admin.php?do=add');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAB_display_packages'], 'GAB_admin.php?do=displaypackages');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAB_add_package'], 'GAB_admin.php?do=addpackage');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAB_display_frequency'], 'GAB_admin.php?do=displayfrequency');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAB_add_frequency'], 'GAB_admin.php?do=addfrequency');
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['GAB_test'], 'GAB_admin.php?do=test');
construct_nav_group($vbphrase['GAB_CP']);
$printhr = true;
$printhr = false;
// === GAB ===
$printhr = false;
if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
{

I got error in admincp, so I tried to figure out what is wrong /i am not coder/.
I have instead of your "replace with" but everything in "// === GAB ===" between "$printhr = false;" and "if (can_administer('canadminstyles'))
{"

Hope it is ok, because it works.

I am trying to add banner, but do not now how. I copied the image to gab folder. What is next. Trying to add banner i am getting this message:

Warning: copy(./gab/toto.gif): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/xxxxxxxx/www/admincp/GAB_admin.php on line 716
