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

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.

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. Code:
Step by step 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')) { |

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 |
