I was nosy and gave your mod a try. Nice

But I couldn't see a problem with the modpack. All works smooth on my test install (no internal server error)

The only issue I've seen is with right hand or left hand menus. But that you can't press eg. a 480px image in a 130px width menu should be clear to everyone. Therefore I'd say lontanos problem has some other source.

Hi Borzoo,

Since I installed Copper-Ad v1.2.2, my Coppermine seems to have some problems to access to my DataBase!
Here's the regularly posted message error :
Coppermine critical error:
Unable to connect to database !
MySQL said: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Any idea ?

sorry for late answer

what about galleries directly installed in the root directory (like mine)?
May this be the server error I am facing while trying to install this plugin

if you think this was your issue then lets try Manual installation
- you need to edit codebase.php and comment line 40~46 (all copy and mkdir) then try to install
- after installation you should manualy copy "banner.php.sample" and "bannermgr.php.sample" to your root gallery folder and then remove ".sample" extention from them

When upgrading to 1.2.2, I lost all my settings and ads, even though I said "don't remove the table" when uninstalling the old version. Not a big deal at this point, but would be a major pain if someone set up lots of ads and wanted to upgrade. (steps: uninstall old, delete old folder, ftp new folder, reinstall).

oops ! yes you are right it's my mistake I have "drop if exist" on schema.sql so even if you don't remove table on uninstall proccess , the installation proccess will remove !!! them ...(I'm working on that to fix it on next ver)

Quote

When enabling/disabling ads on the Banner List page, after submitting the changes, there is a line of SQL debugging code at the top of the screen. Not a big deal since an end user should never see this.

yea , it's for my sql checking I forgot to comment that

it's done on 1.2.3

Quote

When creating a new HTML ad, there's no way to set the height and width. You need to go back and edit these values in the Banner List page

it's done

on 1.2.3

Quote

Not sure if this is under your control or not -- but a few screens (e.g. Create New) take you back to the home page when submitting changes. It would be nicer to have it take you to the CopperAd page

I'm working on that ...

You are great ,thank you for you information and experince.

@stramm:
thank you for your reply I don't use modpack , I was going to install it to see the issue , so there is no problem with Copper Ad and ModPack

@PYAP:
Copper Ad execute 3 query each time to populate banner, I don't think it's CPA Issue but let see if anyone have this problem too!
you can disable CPA and check if you got that error again ...

Thank you All for your time and sharing your experince with Plugin , CPA 1.2.3 is under way it will be here soon

After manual install all works fine! I can confirm Stramm's Mod does not interfere with this plugin.
See plugin at work HERE

Great great work. Thank you!

Hi Borzoo,

For some reasons, i try to make my Gallery OffLine for some days.
And Copper-Ad do not work at all !
Zero banner is on the screen

Is there a known issue ?
Thank's

Joachim Müller · « **Reply #29 on:** July 23, 2006, 06:12:18 am »

Expected behaviour: when set to offline, plugins get disabled (as plugins are multi-purpose and could be used to display actual content from coppermine, which would be a bad idea if it is offline). Haven't actually looked into the plugin itself, so I'm just judging from my basic understanding how coppermine works. Wouldn't make sense to display ads on pages that have no real content.

Sami · « **Reply #30 on:** July 23, 2006, 08:16:05 am »

as gaugau said this is expected ,banner.php couldn't show actual ad beacause of offline mode (init.inc.php automaticly overwrite offline message on banner.php)

killyouall · « **Reply #31 on:** July 29, 2006, 07:59:19 pm »

havent installed it yet i was wondering does it suport mutiple adds? lets say you have Mandortoy adds in one place but then you also want to add a banner can you do that?

Sami · « **Reply #32 on:** July 29, 2006, 09:48:47 pm »

yes you can have multiple add
you should set status of plugin to Enable(multi location)
and then set How many times you want the banner appears

GordonRaboud · « **Reply #33 on:** August 02, 2006, 04:11:03 pm »

First thanks for the plug-in. It is just what I was looking for.
I installed the plug-in and noted that it seemed to ruin the look of the web page, so I uninstalled it, choosing NOT to remove the database. Then I tried to re-install the plug-in and it would die with the following error: "please CHMOD your gallery folder to 777 (only gallery folder not the files and directory in it)". The gallery folder was already set with permissions at 777 (RWX for user, group and world).

I commented out lines 40 to 58 (the copy needed files and the create database sections) and the install would complete. However, I wasn't able to get the default pics and flash ads to show correctly and reliably until I entered the full URI.

Sami · « **Reply #34 on:** August 02, 2006, 04:41:59 pm »

Sorry but it's a bug !!!
I forgot to correct it on last version
You need to uninstall the plugin agian and this time also remove database , then look for banner.php and bannermgr.php and delete them too , and also delete adv folder if you have it
then reinstall plugin and create your ad again !
- I'm working on that bug and I'll release new version soon

Sami · « **Reply #35 on:** August 06, 2006, 07:46:50 am »

Copper Ad v1.2.4 (Stable)
Is ready...

Uninstallation System bug fixed

@GordonRaboud:Also there is an option ( under copper ad=>Configuration=>Status of Plugin ) to temporary disable plugin

@All: Soon you can enjoy AJAX version of this plugin without IFRAME

terrorhawk · « **Reply #36 on:** August 13, 2006, 10:33:14 am »

Hey.

I realy like this mode. i aslo created a small file sow i can track the banner clicks.
Its not perfect but hey it works a bit

It still has allot of bugs mut maby the iedee is good enough the implant it

file named out.php in coppermine root

Code: [Select]

<?PHP
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
define('INDEX_PHP', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');
$script =  $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?" . $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"];
if ($_GET['site']) {
$site = $_GET['site'];
$sql1 = 'SELECT * FROM `cpg11d_clicks` WHERE `Naam` = "' . $site . '" LIMIT 1';
$result1 = cpg_db_query($sql1) ;
$record = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1);
$clicks = $record['clicks'];
$location = $record['url'];
$id = $record['id'];
mysql_free_result($result1);
$clicks = $clicks + 1;
$sql = 'UPDATE `cpg11d_clicks` SET `clicks` = ' . $clicks . ' WHERE `id` = ' . $id . ' LIMIT 1';
$result = cpg_db_query($sql) ;
mysql_free_result($result);
header("Location: $location/");
exit;
}
?>

The sql table looks like this

Code: [Select]

CREATE TABLE `cpg11d_clicks` (
  `id` int(4) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `Naam` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  `url` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  `clicks` int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=3 ;

Feel free to modify this. The only way to add data to it right now is with phpmyadmin. and thats btw also the only way to see the clicks counter.
If u like it feel free to make it better but please add the code here sow we all can enjoy it.

Hi guys,
I was looking but I couldn't find it

is it possible to display google adsense 90% of my all advertisements and 10% for another company? Are there any options to set this requirement?

Best regards,
YacentY

Joachim Müller · « **Reply #38 on:** August 25, 2006, 10:53:14 pm »

Google adsense code can easily be added to template.html, there's no need to use this plugin.

yacenty · « **Reply #39 on:** August 26, 2006, 09:26:35 am »

there is sense to use it,
I would like to present 100,000 times banner of Company X and after that I would like to show AdSense.
Another situation, I would like to present 2times AdSense then 3times Company X and againg AdSense and again Company X,
is it clear what I would like to achive?

best regards,
YacentY
