[COMING SOON] Advert Plugin
Hi,

I've been working on this plugin for a while now - and its come along very well :)

Features are like so:

You can setup a banner as a monthly/impressions/hits type. For example, you could set them with 1000 impressions (and once their impresisions has reached its limit, the ad is disabled). Or if they have it "per click", you can set the price per click, and their "account balance" - and once that expires, it will disable the advert. Similar thing for "impressions" - it will use their impressions up, and once done - then will disable.

Cool admin interface, easy to setup new banners / manage

You can do category targetting. For example, if you put:

Test/Something%

... then it would show in ALL the Test/Something categories (as well as Test/Something itself).

If you were to put:

%test%

... it would show in all categories that have the word "test" in.

If you wanna show it in ALL the categories, you would just enter ALLAREAS.

This gives a nice bit of flexability.

Anyhow, I'll be needing some beta testers for this plugin once I've finished it off (just putting the basics in plugin form now - and then just need to write a little interface, so your advertisers can login and track their banners)

If anyone who owns the ULTRA Pro package would like to test this out for me (once ready :)), then please email me , or PM me.

TIA

Ok, the plugin is now complete (documentation and all =))

If anyone who is using mod_rewrite for their pages is interested in this plugin - please let me know (I'm afraid you need to own the ULTRA Package PRO though, as thats the package it will be part of once its released)

Cheers

Hi,

Ok, just going through some final debugging / adding extra features now. It now lets you use this plugin even without mod_rewrite (i.e for those of you who are using staitc pages)

Cheers

Hi Andy,
I did not figure out what was going on. All I knew was that it was a browser issue for sure. Not cookies because I tried using an,other PC it was still having the same issues. I used my neighbors laptop running IE and I still had the same issues.
I tried using IE, Safari, AOL, Netscape (All the Mozilla family of browsers) to no avail. I used opera. It did not kick me out but the AdCycle inks (top navigation) were not visible. I could only update existing campaigns but could not create any new ones.
My savior was a browser called Flock. AdCycle works perfectly well with this browser. It is some kind of a social networking browser. Almost the same UI like FF. Check it out here www.flock.com/.
However, I asked Jack & Mel to look into the issue. They were great as usual but could no find anything wrong apart from the fact that I used the wrong license number which wasn't the issue at the end of the day.
I should look into your new plugin because AdCycle is old & currently there is no support for the plug-in.
Can I test drive it?

Manny

Hi,

Yeah, the Adcycle one really is weird.

Re test-driving the plugin - I guess so - as long as I get paid ;) (its not part of the package you own - its the one above)

Cheers
