I can add new banner only with mysql...

[Sami]

ask your host if they have any security path on their servers or not .
seems to me that they blocking / on Get variables
since we including advmgr.php into index.php the path should be copper_ad/advmgr so it contains / and that makes false alarm for security path

Do you have any plugin with admin button and same issue?

[mykee]

Hmmm... Filetypes plugin not working too...  But worked your plugin and filetypes too.. I don't set any settings on server. 
How can I enable this GET variables?
My host not sad from this blocking. Can I change this parameter on anywhere?

It means something changes on your server

I don't know , that was wild guess
You need to ask them if they change anything ...and also you may show them this thread

This plugin for ads management is not installing on any of my sites and one site's name is indyatalk.com and error is coming on that place, error is:

Fatal error: copperad_install(): Failed opening required 'plugins/copper_ad/include/init.inc.php' (include_path='.:.:') in /var/www/vhosts/indyatalk.com/httpdocs/plugins/copper_adv_124/codebase.php on line 36

Please help me in this regard. I tried too much, but unable to resolve that problem.

rename copper_adv_124 folder to copper_ad and you'll be fine

cpg v 1.4.16

Uploaded from admin mode in CPG, but it never appears under plugins....

It appears on FTP as folder=adv, not copper_ad.

When I try to change name (hoping that this will cause it to be seen in plugin manager) ftp doesn't recognize folders or files inside it...

Please help...

Oh, I have Nibbler's filetypes plugin and easyreader plugin.....

You mean that you upload a plugin with coppermine !!?
it does not work this way !

you need to download plugin from first post of this topic and then unzip it on your local PC and use a ftp manager and upload it to plugins folder of gallery

Hey Sami...

I tried it BOTH ways as per the instructions in the CPG documentation. [When you copy a plugin to the Coppermine plugins folder (using the Upload button on the plugin manager or via FTP), you have merely uploaded the plugin files. ] Still isn't recognized....

Code Select Expand

4.14.3 The Plugin Manager

The plugin manager is the central place from where you upload, install, configure and remove plugins. It can be acceessed in two ways:

    * Using Coppermine's navigation:
      Log in as admin, go to coppermine's config, expand the "General settings" section, on click "Manage plugins" next to "Enable plugins" (make sure that you have set "Enable plugins" to "Yes") if you plan using plugins.
    * Directly accessing the plugin manager
      Make sure that you are logged in as admin, then directly enter the plugin manager's url in the address bar of your browser, e.g. http://yoursite.tld/your_coppermine_folder/pluginmgr.php

The plugin manager organizes the plugins you have in your Coppermine directory. It is important to understand the difference between uploading plugins and installing plugins. When you copy a plugin to the Coppermine plugins folder (using the Upload button on the plugin manager or via FTP), you have merely uploaded the plugin files. The plugin is not installed yet. When you install a plugin, Coppermine runs the plugin's installation routine to configure and activate the plugin so that it will be executed when people use your gallery. To clearly show which plugins are running and which are not, the plugin manager is separated into two sections (see screen capture below):

    * the plugins that are installed and running (upper section)
    * the plugins that exist within the plugins folder of your server's hard drive but have not been installed and therefore are not running in your Coppermine gallery (lower section)

ok I see , you uncompressed zip file under plugins folder itself , those files and folders should be under copper_ad folder instead
here you go :
- Create a new folder in plugins folder and name it copper_ad
- Move
adv folder
include folder
lang folder
advmgr.php
banner.php.sample
bannermgr.php.sample
basic.sql
codebase.php
configuration.php
CHANGELOG
readme.txt
schema.sql
from plugins folder to copper_ad folder
and then go for installation

Hi Sami,

Followed the instructions above and success. The Plugin installed and I could see the sample banner at the top.

Uploaded a Swf banner and then a Jpg banner to test.

The SWF banner just shows whitespace, no banner.

The Jpg banner shows whitespace and a link to URL redirect, no banner.

What have I done wrong here? Gallery CHMOD set to 755 as per specs.

Hi Sami,

Did you need anything else to diagnose please?

Thanks...

Ok...so the upload of my banners from the CopperAd plugin does not appear to be working.

I uploaded my banners directly into the adv/flash or adv/pic folder via my FTP client (filezilla). My Pic banner is now working....but the flash (swf) does not.

I can set it to view by itself and all it produces is a square whitespace.

Please advise.

Please post a test account so I could take a look at the problem

The file http://www.sandrailsonly.com/coppermine/adv/flash/myvideobanner.xml is requested but is missing.

Thanks....I uploaded the files into the FTP directly....The Copper Ad plugin does not add them to THIS directory, you have to manually do this.

This is still something that need to be looked at....


But I am having an issue with my Banner itself...it does not look how it is supposed to look. I will go back to my software on this issue.
