The following are some tips on using these two programs together, based on my own experience. It's expected that you know how to use phpadsnew 2 to set up ads and generate invocation code.

PHP Invocation
The first tip is how to use php invocation code. Using javascript is possible, but not all browsers support javascript and, in my experience, using php is faster.

The php invocation code phpadsnew generates will look something like this...

PHP Code:
<?php
    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpads/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:2', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
        echo $phpAds_raw['html'];
    }
?>
Place it in your PHPINCLUDE_START template, but omit the final echo statement and the <?php ?> tags. It will look like this...

PHP Code:
    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpads/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:2', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
    } 
Now, to place the add, put the variable $phpAds_raw[html] in any template that you want that ad to appear (usually your header). Remember to omit the '' marks when placing the variable in a normal template - therefore $phpAds_raw['html'] becomes $phpAds_raw[html]

If you have multiple zones, you can string these together. On EN World we have a zone that only appears on our vbadvanced news page. On those pages we call the view_raw function an additional time for the extra zone (view_raw is the function that actually calls up the ad - the rest of the code initializes phpadsnew). Here's our code, as an example of a 2 zone system.

PHP Code:
if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpads/phpadsnew.inc.php')) 
{
    if (!isset($phpAds_context)) 
    {
        $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:2', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
        if (defined('VBA_PORTAL'))
        {
            $phpAds_context2 = array();
            $phpAds_raw2 = view_raw ('zone:3', 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context2);
        }
    }
} 
Running Maintenance.php from the scheduled task manager
Ads new's maintenance.php file needs to run on a regular basis for it to perform correctly. You can invoke it from your scheduled task manager if you wish. If you do, I'd advise applying the following mod to the code of the maintenance.php file.

Open it and go to the ending ?> mark. Right about it add this.

PHP Code:
log_cron_action('PHP Ads New Maintenance Complete', $nextitem); 
And you're done. The file can now log it's cron action with vbulletin's cron manager. Note that if you make this change you will be unable to call the maintenance.php file without vbulletin since it will trigger a fatal error (call to undefined function). Also, there's a glitch in phpadsnew - when vbulletin invokes maintenance.php it somehow forgets that it was ever invoked. The log files both in vbulletin and in phpadsnew itself speak differently, but phpadsnew continues to echo a message saying the maintenance.php script hasn't been ran which can be ignored.

Any other tips/comments/questions welcomed.

Anyone know how to place phpadsnew banners in one zone and rotate like this forum www.ls1tech.com

I picked "Don't show a banner from the same campaign again on the same page"

And put my php generated local mode in global

and put my banner code in right_column
> $phpAds_raw2[html]
> $phpAds_raw3[html]
> $phpAds_raw4[html]
> $phpAds_raw5[html]
> $phpAds_raw6[html]
> $phpAds_raw7[html]
> $phpAds_raw8[html]
> $phpAds_raw9[html]
> $phpAds_raw10[html]
> $phpAds_raw11[html]
> $phpAds_raw12[html]

I'm getting doubles still of my banners, there must be a setting in phpadsnew to fix this so I don't get doubles, anyone know?

Here's my site www.sembmusclecarclub.com

When I was using 3.0.6 I had phpds working real well it it. When I upgraded to 3.6 -- they disappeared. I added the phpinclude_start template -- but that didn't help.

COde in the phpinclude_start
Code:
   if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpad/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, 'new', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
        $phpAds_context[] = array('!=' => 'bannerid:'.$phpAds_raw['bannerid']);
    }



    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpad/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw2 = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, 'new', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
        $phpAds_context[] = array('!=' => 'bannerid:'.$phpAds_raw2['bannerid']);
    }


    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpad/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw3 = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, 'new', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
        $phpAds_context[] = array('!=' => 'bannerid:'.$phpAds_raw3['bannerid']);
    }
    


    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpad/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw4 = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, 'new', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
    }
    

    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpad/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw5 = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, 'new', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
    }



    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpad/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw6 = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, 'new', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
    }
    

    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpad/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw7 = view_raw ('zone:18', 0, 'new', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
echo $phpAds_raw['html'];
    }




    if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpad/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw8 = view_raw ('zone:18', 0, 'new', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
        echo $phpAds_raw['html'];
    }
code in the header template

Code:
<!-- Add three phpad banners -->
$phpAds_raw[html] $phpAds_raw2[html] $phpAds_raw3[html]

</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  </center>
</div>
<!-- Endphpad banners-->
I looked at the addin for 3.5 -- and although I've used phpads for a couple of years, and have installed virtually every other hacek in the last 5 years without any promblems -- I must be too big of a dumbass as the instructions for the addin are not expicit enough. It also appear that coders much bettr than I are climing it is buggy.

Is there a was to use php invocation code in a 3.6 template -- more simular to the way I did in 3.0.6?

Just tried that -- didn't cure the problem with phpadsnew no longer working after upgrade to 3.6

Sure hoping that someone gets this figured out for vB 3.6.x.

I'd hate to throw away phpAdsNew.

Hi i finally made it work by myself for vbulletin 3.6.0

1. Make a new plugin with the code phpAdsNew generates OMMITING the last echo command.

ex
PHP Code:
ob_start();

if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/ads/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
        if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
        $phpAds_raw = view_raw ('', 0, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
    }

ob_end_clean(); 
2. Set the hook to global start, execution 1, active YES
3. Save the plugin

Now find the template you want and add:

PHP Code:
{$phpAds_raw['html']} 
this was the actual error i was getting with other posts requiring to add this line of code without the {} .. i always got an error and got frustrated.. dont forget them !

Finished! it works ! (i tested it) (check www.pbzone.net)

if you want more info email me onliner AT pbzone.net

thanks

I don't see this working on your site with the link you provided.

Also, I made my local mode code:

?php
if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpadsnew/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
$phpAds_raw = view_raw ('', 23, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
echo $phpAds_raw['html'];
}
?>

Integrated it into the code you put out:

ob_start();

if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/phpadsnew/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
$phpAds_raw = view_raw ('', 23, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
echo $phpAds_raw['html'];
}

ob_end_clean();

Added this code into my global_start.

Then, added:

{$phpAds_raw['html']}

Into my forumhome template.

Still not working, but then again, I'm using vB 3.6.1

Ideas?

Thanks

Thanks

Ahhhh, were definitely getting somewhere now!

http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/forums/forum.php

The issue now is that it shows up in two different areas on the forumhome template......mmmm, when I click on any other forum or category....then it shows up only once, like it's suppose to do. Strange...

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Mark
