Geek Advertising Banner system RC1 Details »» | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
HowdA All.
From the makers of Hydrogen comes the latest mack - GAB (Geek Advertising Banners). This has come about by needing an advertising system that no other hack seemed to totally fulfill. Personally - I really didnt want to burden myself with supporting another hack - but I felt it was significantly better than other hack systems out there so I thought many would be able to benefit from it. Whats so freaking cool about it? 1- use flash, normal, text based (google adsense) or rotating banners 2- Decide which scripts run the banners 3- Define which forums run the banners 4- define which usergroups can turn off the banners 5- Make ads stop at x amount of hits 6- Make ads stop at x amount of views 7- Make ads start/stop at certain times 8- track views and/or hits 9- Wipes your bum Why am I releasing this now? It seems to be hip and trendy to release Banner hacks. In all reality - this has been a very long work in progress that is finally rounding the finsihing stages. The current RC pacakge is considered complete except for the show stats segment (its recording stats, but you cant browse them easily yet). LIke with any hack (especially a Beta) back up you DB and files needing change (global.php,admincp/index.php). Known issues:
For users of GAB Beta 2, uninstall it and then install this version. In all reality, you could just revert the file changes and delete the GAB_ tables from yur DB (heck, you dont even need to do that). To upgrade from RC1.5 to RC1.6, just replace existing files with the latest from the downloaded package and run the template portion of the installer (you can skip the rest of the install steps). You may have to revert your GUSH_main and GUSH_ad_row Donations I have never asked for donations for any of the macks I have done - however since I have spent well over 60 hours coding this - I thought I would stick my neck out there. If you like my mack, it brings you some money and you want to keep my fridge stocked with beer and Cheetos, then feel free to drop some cash in my paypal account: geek@thenailgeek.com If youre having difficulty keeping beer in the fridge yourself - fill yours before you fill mine. If you think the mack sucks, or youre just a tight git then please dont bother nJoy Show Your Support

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

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. |

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 |
