Title: [s]Curve[/s] Core/custom color? & test forum install?
Post by: Adapa on February 22, 2013, 09:35:05 am
Hopefully two simple questions, first I run this forum http://www.friendsofcci.com/forum/index.php
With the team Curve with custom colors.
Can I do a quick/simple install? Or do I need a custom install?

Second ?
I would like to do a install on my test forum befor installing it on to my main forum.  Is it possible to do this with out being charged twice?

Thanks! This looks like exactly what I am looking for.

1. That should be a simple install. Looks like it is a variation of the core theme. So make sure when installing AdSeller Pro you use the install on other themes options checked in the package manager. If you still need help with edits just let us know and we can do them for you.


2. Yes a test forum is allowed.

I assume I should enter my eventual primary location of http://www.friendsofcci.com/forum/index.php when buying the code?  Even tho I'll be installing it first on to my test forum?

Thx in advance

I'm trying to install Ad seller on to my test forum & getting a few 'test failed' errors when trying to install via the package manager.

I've included an attachment of the error screen.

I also seem to have been mistaken earlier when I said I was using a theme called 'Curve".  I am running the Core theme with custom colors.

If using core theme.
Attach index.template, display.template.php and messageindex.template.php files from core.

I took these files from my actual forum (friendsofcci.com) not my test forum (alyssafranks.com) since they are identical.
When you fix this set, I did not want to bother you to fix a second set .

thank you !

Ok be sure to install Ad Seller Pro before uploading these updated files as  well.

thank you,
I am now able to see the attachments.

However, & you can move this to the install section if it helps, I am unable to get it running on my test site.

I have Ad Seller installed & I replaced the the existing files with the modified ones you provided. My test site seems normal except I can't see any of the ad's i attempt to create

I did the insatll walk threw up till #4, i already have a business paypal acct so i just need to do the IPN thingy & to enter the address. I enabled two ad locations & attempted to create an text ad with a url

i am in maintenance mode as this is my test site. the three files you modded were from my live site.

I've attached the files from my test site all tho i don't know if that's required.  Or if I'm missing something.  Don't underestimate my ability to over look something basic.

thank you

What ad locations do you have enabled?
Also make sure you give each membergroup perimssion for that location under manage locations in the admin area.

Last what type of ads did you add to each location.

Post by: Adapa on February 23, 2013, 05:37:57 pm
I needed to enable all the member groups....

I've been trying to get ad's on my forum for months & it finally works
*thank you*

Post by: SMFHacks on February 23, 2013, 05:41:31 pm
Glad you have it working! Rember if you add any other membergroups in the furture also add them in adseller pro locations

Post by: Adapa on February 26, 2013, 09:38:41 am
ok, i have to put a qualifier on the statement "It works!" because I can't seem to get it working on my live forum only on my test forum. which was the first forum i installed AdSeller Pro on.

I've gone line by line, side by each, aside from the 'settings' area with the different url's (for my test or live forum) it is identical.

the IPN is set for my live forum. I have never seen an ad on the live forum,

i'm just attempting to put a txt ad up for proof of concept, with the eventual focus being a adsense ad or two 
Title: Re: Curve/custom color? & test forum install?
Post by: SMFHacks on February 26, 2013, 10:20:17 am
As in not working? What is happening? No ads showing up?
Did you remember to change permissions for locations?
Title: Re: Curve/custom color? & test forum install?
Post by: Adapa on February 26, 2013, 10:59:55 am
sorry for not being clear

the ad's are not showing up in my live site but showing up on my test forum.  aside from that, *everything* (that i see) is identical.

I have 'show in all boards" selected under the MemberGroup selection area.  I just have admin & global mod's selected for the memgroup area. 
I keep thinking it's in the settings but both sites are the same. <sigh>

thank you for your patience with me!

Did you use the same file changes where we modified the index.template.php display.template.php and messageindex.template.php
Title: Re: Curve/custom color? & test forum install?
Post by: Adapa on February 26, 2013, 01:28:50 pm
I thought I did-
I'll replace them again tonight & post if that has any effect
Title: Re: Curve/custom color? & test forum install?
Post by: Adapa on February 26, 2013, 09:39:19 pm
It seems as tho after replacing those 3 files, two of the locations are now working, the 'after first post' and the 'after last post' are working.

None of the other positions seem to work, admittedly i didn't try them all since i am primarily interested in top & bottom banner type ads.

Title: Re: Curve/custom color? & test forum install?
Post by: SMFHacks on February 27, 2013, 10:24:27 am
Which locations are not working? And do you have the other locations enabled and your ad has those locations added?
Title: Re: Curve/custom color? & test forum install?
Post by: Adapa on February 28, 2013, 10:17:54 am
all locations are enabled between the 'Overall Header' and 'bottom print topic' except for the location "left side'.

They are also assigned to the admin & global mod membergroups and have the single box clicked for 'show in all boards'

I have a Text link ad selected. i have all the enabled locations checked under that add except for one location where I have a google ad sense ad enabled.  

I am not seeing any ad's on my main index page, http://www.friendsofcci.com/forum/index.php
I am not seeing any ad's on my forum index page, http://www.friendsofcci.com/forum/index.php?board=12.0
(i know you'd be looking at these pages as a guest, but there is no difference between what a guest sees and what an admin sees)

I've posted a screen shot of the ad's i am seeing in threads;
If i'm getting the locations correct, the three locations that are working are,
in first post (Blue banner)
after the last post (blue banner)
after first post (no visible ad except the 'advertise here', I've got the ad sense code here as i'm in the approval process for that)

I have installed the modification and done some preliminary testing.  It doesn't seem to have made a difference.

I've got some real life issues that are rather demanding right now so I cant do the testing & write up until later on this week.
Title: Re: Curve/custom color? & test forum install?
Post by: SMFHacks on March 05, 2013, 09:15:26 am
That's very strange. The first set of files didn't have the edits.
I readded the edits to these files so not sure now.
Title: Re: Curve/custom color? & test forum install?
Post by: Adapa on March 05, 2013, 09:53:01 am
I've only been able to do a very basic exploration but I feel as tho I understand how the program works

Give me some time and I'll do a full test and post screen shots, etc. maybe I've missed something.  I'm hopeful I can get some time later on this week. As I said real life is a pain right now.

Post by: Adapa on April 27, 2013, 03:14:05 pm
the only thing i haven't' got working at this point it the sm ad space in the Welcome Area/User Information Box

where does that code go?  I haven't found the word "welcome" in the index.template.php file

thanks!

Attach your file. Some themes have different wording so it really depends on each theme.
