FYI to all trying to install the plugin:

I guess this plugin works great for others but for me it was a no-go last night. I tried everything possible to get this to work correctly. I followed the instructions in the readme, chmod'd everything under the sun all to no avail. I turned on Debug mode to get a better understanding of what's going on. I wish I had saved the error but basically the plugin install never adds the tables listed in the scheme.sql file. After all else had failed, I took the code in scheme and loaded the sql statement in phpmyadmin and made sure I edited the tables for my table prefix...instead of CPG_blab-blab...mine was cpg14x_ so I made those changes and added both tables. Initially the "Fatal database error" that everyone else was talking about came from the fact that the needed tables were never installed. After I had the tables installed, I went to the Coppermine web interface -Config-pluginmanager. BTW for my installation, I unzipped just the copper_ad plugin and ftp'd to my server and put in the proper DIR renaming everything as necessary. Okay back to the web interface, first i went and choose to uninstall plugin, it asked to verify "say yes" then to install crossing my fingers hoping this time it would actually work...this time it worked!!  I'm not sure what was different about my setup than others. I hope to see more features in this plugin. Can I manaully set the max size of a banner. With the initial install 100px height just doesn't get it. Most of my banners are varying sizes. It would be nice if I could batch ad ads, especially if one batch of ads were all the same size, say 460x120, have the plugin look at one DIR, tell it where you would like the banner to be placed and that's it. I"m sure this is really complicated when it comes down to coding it but just thought I would toss that out there. Here is my setting if this helps :

Don't post debug_output unless a supporter explicitely asks for it. It only clutters this thread.

[Sami]

@bebes007:
- Max 100 px height was a suggestion you can set what ever you want
- This plugin is getting old I should rebuild a new version with better functionality , I'll look in your suggestion then

[mykee]

My problem with your plugin that when I change banner (what is active), then website is no refreshing. Try empty cache, and reload, or click to other menus, I see old banner. What is problem? 

[Sami]

post a link and more detail & example please

[erika_conn]

When I try to install I get this error:
Fatal error: copperad_install(): Failed opening required 'plugins/copper_ad/include/init.inc.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxxx/public_html/photo_gallery/plugins/copper_adv_124/codebase.php on line 36

What am I doing wrong?  I have the latest version.

[Joachim Müller]

You obvisously haven't unzipped the plugin properly (preserving the folder structure), or you haven't uploaded all files that belong to the plugin. Re-upload all needed files that belong to the plugin.

I have the latest version.

Latest version of what? What's the "latest version" for you anyway. Both coppermine as well as this plugin comes with version numbers - you can post what version number of each you use. That's why the version numbers exist in the first place. Posting a link to your gallery might help as well.

[Sami]

@erika_conn:
rename {gallery root}/plugins/copper_adv_124 folder to copper_ad and you'll be fine

[skmdd]

I followed the instructions in the Readme file. I used the CHMOD method. The install was successful but I am getting this on the Admin Menu page:

Notices
/plugins/copper_ad/include/init2.inc.php

    * Warning line 23: mysql_free_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource

/include/functions.inc.php

    * Notice line 2685: Undefined variable: i

What can be the possible problem?

[Sami]

Those are just notices and are not important ...

[disposition]

I installed this plugin and it looks great, but when I click on the COPPER AD button I see "configuration" and that is good but Create New banner and Banner List does not seem to open. I just want to make sure I am not missing something.

Thanks!  Hope you can help!

[Sami]

You need to click on each of them to expand (javascript should be enabled)

[disposition]

Thanks for the reply.

I do have javascript enabled on both my browsers IE and Firefox and both seem to just stick,  Do you know if there is a setting in coppermine that will just keep them expanded?  I am sure this is a problem on my end I just can't seem to open and close them.  My config just stays open so i never thought of it as a problem.

[just_some_guy]

Try changing themes to the classic theme and expand them. It could be the javascript is clashing with some code in your theme.

[disposition]

Hey how are ya?

That does the trick, I will just have to do that...at least there is an option.  If anyone knows how I can fix it other wise that would be great!

THANKS!

[just_some_guy]

Good thanks. Good that its sorted.

[mismo]

It would be nice, if you could add padding (or vspace&hspace) feature for the ads. They would look so much better this way.

Also another feature would be, if you could also add a banner in the bottom of the page, after the gallery pictures and thumbnails.

[mismo]

Also it would be more professional plugin, if it would allow to set the position of each banner individually.

[mykee]

When I click Coppermine Ad on admin panel, then I get 503 error: Service Temporarily Unavailable. What's a problem?
