Support / Mutiple ads on right side, header, footer, etc.

« on: February 25, 2015, 08:22:55 pm »

I need multiple ads at the same time on the right and left side of the forum, header and footer. See example of forums sides.

I want to make sure that I will still be using ad seller pro interface to create and sell ads, correct?

"Start a topic with your index.template.php what I can do is modify the right ad location if that is the one you are using to support multiple ads in that location each ad after another. Do you want 20 max? ads shown on the right side or different amount? "

Do you want 20 max? My competitor has 21 ads on the right side of his forum so I guess at least 30. They will range for 160 x 80 to 160 x 600.

ads shown on the right side or different amount? not sure what this means.

This file location was public_html/forum/Themes/core. There was also a themes/default file so if you need that one instead let me know.

Thanks

Support / Virus, malware, etc. protection for uploads via Download, gallery, etc.

« on: February 25, 2015, 08:05:21 pm »

Is there any protections in place to prevent a user with appropriate permissions to upload a file, image, etc. via the Download System Pro, SMF Gallery Pro, etc. with a virus or malware?

If so should I be concerned with it infection my site?

If not what are the best practices?

Require all uploads be approved and then have the admin download and scan for any issues?

Anything else?

Thanks

Support / Updating Gallery Pro to a newer version

« on: February 20, 2015, 07:25:46 am »

Do we just uninstall 6.7 and install 7.0? Are previous images retained?

I read this post and assume that its the same going from pro to a newer version of pro.

"In order to access this category you must have at least 18 years old"

I want guests to be able to download files. This is the error that is generated when someone not logged in tries to download a file. I dont have any age restriction is registration. Where else could an age restriction be?

Support / Change color, undeline,double underline, etc of linked word

« on: February 07, 2015, 08:27:16 pm »

It's hard to tell a linked word for a linked word ad because it is not underlined. It would be nice to be able to underline, double underline or change the color of linked word ads.

Works good though!

Support / Ad locations for a single board

« on: January 22, 2015, 04:05:56 pm »

What is the ad location for a header for a single board. I have tried doing an overall header and making it only available in specific board but this doesn't work. This makes it worse, I have to open a topic to see the overall header. Which makes since cause it is an overall header.

Ex: I want an ad on this header:

http://www.accesscontrolforum.com/forum/further-education/

to be different than this one:

Support / Display different ads based on IP adress

« on: January 04, 2015, 11:50:59 am »

I want to sell ads based on regions of the USA maybe even by state and different countries. I dont see this as a setting inside Ad Seller Pro. The link below seems to be all that I can find and requires adding code.

Is there a setting for ads based on IP address of a visitor/user in Ad Seller Pro?

Support / SMF Gallery Pro Database Error

« on: December 10, 2014, 03:43:41 pm »

I was working on my gallery for the first time, attempted to delete a file and got this.

I cant find anything on updating just the "Sources" file. Is this possible or do I need to reinstall SMF and all my mods?

Site Discussion / Monetize links but not through Viglink, Skimlinks, but through ad seller pro

« on: November 30, 2014, 08:42:27 pm »

I want to monetize "links"/words in my forum. But I don't to go through a third party (Viglink, Skimlinks) to do it. I want 100% of the revenue and 100% control over the advertisers, i.e. market/forum specific ads. What I would like is to do this in Ad Seller Pro. As an example if my forum, one manufacturer I would like to buy ads is Tyco. Every post that has the word Tyco automatically hyperlinks to the site, file, or pops up a box with a small description and a link, it gets logged and I get PAID. If there is already a feature or mod that does this than sorry for the long example.

I would imagine a script needs to look at all the words on the page being viewed and goes something like Pseudo Code:

If the word Tyco is displayed then go to Ad Setting for "This is a Keyword ad for Tyco Intergrated security" and use these settings and log any clicks...

That way it never permanently links to a page, pop up box, script, etc.. or modifies the page itself. So if someone stops paying the link disappears.

The existing Ad Seller Pro menu barely has to change at all.

Under Manage Ads > Add Ads > Settings you would have all the same criteria Ex:

Title      "This is a Keyword ad for Tyco Intergrated security"
Ad Type    "Keyword Link" (This redirects you to another page, file, etc.) or Pop Up (This shows a pop up box with a small description or a service or product, links, etc.) or file

Align    Not Needed
Ad Background Color     White
Ad Border Color      Black
Ad Title or Keyword    Ex: "Tyco" or if it is a Pop Up box "Look at the new Alarm Panel fro Tyco(with a link)" or file
Ad Title Color    Black
Ad Body    Black
Ad Body Color     Red
Website Url    https://www.tycois.com/
Website Display Url    Tyco
Website Text Color      Black
Impressions Limit    10
Max Impressions Per Day    100
Clicks Limit    100
Only applies to banners/textlinks Check
Count Ad Impressions      Check
Enable subtract SMF Shop Credits for clicks      Check
Start Date    01011971
End Date    01012071
Location Not Needed

Show in all Boards Uncheck
Show in Security Check
Show in Access Control Uncheck

Under Ad Locations There wouldn't be anything as the board locations cover this. Or maybe someone would want to link words in profiles, forum stats, PM's, etc. but I won't.

As an Example I posted this. I made all the hyperlinks manually. The point of this long post is cant this be done automatically and can it be made for me to get paid?

Support / Do I have to install each mod if I bought the community suite

« on: November 24, 2014, 09:16:02 am »

Do I have to install each mod if I bought the community suite or is there one zip that includes everything. I just bought it on sale! $200, great success!

I didn't know where to post this, ad seller pro is the mod I am most interested in.
