Copper Ad ! First advertisement plugin for coppermine

[JohannM]

Hi, I would like to have a way to include a "picture type" banner anywhere on my themes page with e.g. {COPPER-AD-CUSTOM} tag.

How can this be implemented ?

Is there a simple way to just include the "banner.php" page on any place ?

rename the copper_adv_124 folder to copper_ad and you'll be fine

When I did this, it apparently completely *broke* my coppermine installation; now it will give me only a 404 error no matter what on the coppermine site I try to access.  So I deleted it, no change.  so I re-uploaded the original "copper_adv_124" dir to the plugins dir, no change, still 404 on the whole site.  I've already uploaded about 60 pics to this site; do I have to trash the whole thing now and start over???

Any suggestions?

Well, I was finally able to get back in to my Coppermine site, by re-setting the dir to 755.  So, I go back, rename the Copper Ad dir to copper_ad, change the main dir again to 777, and still it won't install; it gives me a 404 error when I try to install.  So I set the main dir back to 755 so I wouldn't lose the whole site again to 404 errors, but I still don't have copper_ad installed.

Since apparently I can't get copper_ad to even install, I have a snippet of php code for rotating ads I use in my other php-based sites; can php be inserted, and if so, where?  In the theme.php for the particular theme I'm using?

first unzip it on your local machine and try to re-upload it (whole folder) by FTP
you need to upload it to {gallery-root}/plugins

Have just installed this on my site! Currently in a test mode! Works great, I put it in "multi location" and it appears just where I want it!
Does anyone know if there's a way to open a link in a small window. For example like you would get using this html:

Code Select Expand

<p align "center" <img align="center" border="0" src="http://www.oneuk.f2s.com/images/ads/adsample.jpg" alt="Click here to enquire about advertising - Webstats available, contact me for more details"><a href="http://www.oneuk.f2s.com/ads/placead.html" onClick="window.open('http://www.oneuk.f2s.com/ads/placead.html','new','scrollbars=no','resize=no','width=450,height=600'); return false;"></a></p>
Also have any individuals had any experience with getting paid for adverts on their site?
Good stuff! Cheers!

please help - I have

While executing query "SELECT * FROM cpg14x_copperad_config" on 0

mySQL error: Table 'stelia_foto.cpg14x_copperad_config' doesn't exist

i was trying many times - no results

There appears to be a problem displaying different sized banners when you select "Multi Location" and more than one banner per page.
The iframe size for all banners shown is set by the first banner on the page and the other banners on the page are forced into the same size iframe as the first banner. There is no problem if you only want to show one banner per page or all your banners are the same size.

Can an option be added to only show ads to guests and not to registered users?

How many times did you try to install it ?
it would be better if you enable debug mode so I could see your settings ....

[maxx07]

I try more times to install (4-5 ) and I receive that error message ; even if I enable debug mode when i try to install the plugin i recive that error and the gallery dont work .

In the process to come up with a plugin download repository I realized that this plugin was packaged in a way that kept end users from using it properly: the plugin relies on the fact that the folder name is preserved properly. However, the plugin files in the zip archive are not being stored in a folder that is named accordingly. That's why I packaged a new version, added a German translation file to it and put everything online on our downloads page at sf.net.
Deep link for the download is http://downloads.sourceforge.net/coppermine/cpg1.4.x_plugin_copper-ad_v1.2.5.zip
