Ok, I started this a while ago, but have only just found the time to complete it. Basically, it allows you to serve banners on your site. Each time someone clicks on a banner, a certain amount of credit is remove from their account. They can update thie credit by sending you (the webmaster) money via PayPal. The whole process is automated, so you just gotta watch the money roll in

I've made it a freebie to download, but if you do use it I would really appreciate some money in return for it. This will help me keep writing new plugins in the future, and updating existing ones

The plugin is attached. I've beta-tested it as much as I can locally, but my main server is having MySQL problems, so I can't test it on there. If you find any problems, please let me know and I'll try and fix 'em up

Good one Andy!!

I am a little poor right now... but if I use it will send you some $$.

I thought I would try installing it to test it for you though.

Unforutnatley I am getting errors, and none of the menu items will work.

Mmm...I didn't get that error. All my one said was: Perl Said:.

Anyway, here is the updated version. Alex asked me to rename it, so it doesn't clash with any of their plugins

Well, its a nice logo, I like it! Mine does not blend in well (some white showing on the edges), so I am going to re-draw it just for the forum.

This is the only error I seem to be getting now Andy:

(I wonder why these things compile on some machines and not on others)

Global symbol "$url" requires explicit package name at PHP_PPC_Banner.pm line 262.
PHP_PPC_Banner.pm had compilation errors.

Well it installs now... I will check the banner part as soon as I get the chance

Maybe you could test out my editor plugin as soon as it ready (today hopefully!).

I have decided to make it a small price, but FREE for those who helped me make it like You, Paul, Webmaster, Yogi, Pugdog... I agree with you, you should be rewarded for your efforts, even if it is a small reward.

No problem. I may not be in when you release it, but I'll give it a go for you on monday or tuesday

Hi Andy, I havn't yet... I have been busy trying to get my plugin working and out.

I will test today hopefully!

At this stage, it does install correctly

You have errors in your template extraction code.

Chmod your template directory to 644 and try to install the plugin. You'll get an error like:

Can't locate method "error" via package PHP_PPC_Banner at Install.pm line yada yada

You need to change all occurances of:

$file->write or return PHP_PPC_Banner->error( ... );

to

$file->write or return Plugins::PHP_PPC_Banner->error( ... );

You might want to add an option in the installer to allow the user to confirm whether or not to overwrite templates otherwise it will get annoying if you customize the plugin templates and the installer overwrites them if you ever install it again..

Mm..thanks Paul. I'll get that fixed up. Thats the good old online plugin maker fault again

Ok....version 1.1 has been released now. Has a few bug fixes in it, along with a missing file

It is now a 4 day trial plugin, so if you use it after that period of time, please purchase it.

Well, you can download the latest version from the Links SQL Plugin download page. Enjoy

Hi Andy,

I am not sure if you have already found this. But when you uninstall the plug-in the global it creates is still left in the globals.

Sorry, I just noticed this from the first day when I was going to test!!

Yeah...I'm not quite sure how to remove it

I am going to ask a really dumb question, so be warned!!

Why can't the global just go into your plugin.pm as just another funciton, and be called that way?

Like: <%Plugins::PPC_Banner::TheBanner($something)%> ?


http://www.iuni.com/...tware/web/index.html
Links Plugins

Cos it is banner.php that calls the banner (i.e can't be run as a Links SQL plugin as such..thats why I have to call it that way

Ahhh....

And I guess

my $template_set = $CFG->{build_default_tpl};
my $globals = GT::Config->load($CFG->{admin_root_path} . "/templates/$template_set/globals.txt", { inheritance => 1, compile_subs => 'Links', local => 1, cache => 1 });
$globals->{newkey} = 'new value';
$globals->delete;

won't work?

I am not much help... sorry.


http://www.iuni.com/...tware/web/index.html

No..I don't think that delete command will help. I think I see where you are coming from now though with your last question.

Are you saying, have a function in PHP_PPC_Plugin.pm, and then using a tag to call the plugin, which will return the IFRAME code to the templates?

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.

sub global_title {

put your global here

}



then just call it wiht the <%Plugin::Mypluginname::global_title%>

thats what I am doing, and it works for me! so it might work for you with this!


http://www.iuni.com/...tware/web/index.html
Links Plugins

To delete a global you can use:

my $template_set = $CFG->{build_default_tpl};
my $globals = GT::Config->load($CFG->{admin_root_path} . "/templates/$template_set/globals.txt", { inheritance => 1, compile_subs => 'Links', local => 1, cache => 1 });
delete $globals->{newkey};
$globals->save;

Cheers,

Alex
