banner links not working

Howdy all,

I have uploaded a few banners and they rotate fine as well as letting the client log on to view stats. Heres where the problem comes in. The orginal work was done locally hence "localhost". I have set the banners click url to what I want but no matter what I enter then seem to default to http://localhost/ocqmc (which was the local address)

I have cleared out the templates_c folder, updated template and checked everywhere but its mysterious lol, it always tries to take me to the above. Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated and I would be grateful.
Thank you,
Markus

Where are the banners?

I've just visited http://www.ocqmc.com but didn't see any banners.


Edit: OK, I see the banners now after the theme changed.
If you edit the url of a banner does it also update the url in your database (table prefix_banners)?

soo sorry I just turned them off for a sec -- had page loading problems with a certain theme. They should be up again.

Thank you,

Re: banner links not working

Ok heres where I am at now lol--

I have checked the db and all links appear to have changed to what I want -- still after refreshing everything it goes to localhost. I removed all the banners and clients-- and started fresh-- same thing arrrrrgggg! What am I doing wrong here it seems simple enough lol. Anyone else run into this problem? Can i reinstall something to check it that way?

ERRRR their not even working on my localhost with the links changed. On to more messing with it lol If i get the answer soon I will post it for others incase the same problem arises.

Thanks greatly,
Markus

Try the following:
1. Remove all files from the folder templates_c except index.html
2. Remove all files from the folder cache except profilefields.tmp

Re: banner links not working

Ok have dont that :

cleared out /templates_c except index.html
cleared out /cache I had no "profilefields.tmp" I did have a "adminmenu.php" which I left :0)

If I log in as the banner owner it displays and responds to the right link thats shown. Just not when displayed in the header? Heres another wierd thing now that I am in here lol -- when loggin in as the banner client and choose change to change the click url it says "taking you back to where you were" and it doesnt change it, I have to relog in also to be where I was. Permission problem?

Here is a test account you may log into and see what I am trying to explain, and thank you greatly for all help thus far. :0)


Thank you,
Markus

Have you tried updating the system module?

administration/system/modules then update the system module.

Re: banner links not working

the banners.php login worked for me.
-

the link/action 'http://localhost/ocqmc_new' is set in the flash banner you have. so you would have to change the banner itself.

Re: banner links not working

well I'll be ------ you know what lol


To start I had no links embedded into the flash :0) -- because I thought XOOPS did it for me in admin - thank you


Second I got it working and what I did is still a mystery. Somehow in the transition from localhost to production, something went haywire lol--- so I made all new banners and clients, embedded my links in the swf files and the click url in admin to the same.Poof working -- unsure if its admin linking or the embedded link but anhwho its working.


Thanks to all the had responses and helped me threw this. All 100 kids thank you too lol
