Posted by: brashOn 2005/9/12 9:00:00 14499 reads

IT Headquarters is proud to present a comprehensive guide to implementing PhpAdsNew into your Xoops site. PhpAdsNew is one of, if not THE most popular ad management server on the web today and is very deserving of being on your short-list. For a long time the question of how to get a more sophisticated ad management system into Xoops has been asked, and if you do a search for 'PhpAdsNew' in the forums you will get well over 100 results spanning back to 2002 (it's a question I've even asked myself). By writing this article I hope to help answer this question, and give people a resource that can have them up and going at a basic level in just a few minutes.

This guide is aimed toward those with some experience with both Xoops and PhpAdsNew, and covers the implementation of PhpAdsNew into Xoops at the theme, template and custom block level. With this guide you'll have all the building blocks you need to be able to start planning for any implementation of PhpAdsNew into Xoops, big or small. I hope you enjoy it, and that it is of some value to you.

This is a very important topic. I will be willing to create some tutorials using movies with audio to help others to quickly be able to use this tool.

I know very little about phpAdsNew and in the process of learning it, I will create some tutorials. I would like to create what our organization has created for Camtaisa Studio producer - a product portal for phpAdsNew.

We will be adding the audio in a few weeks.

See Product Portal in action

I would need some assistance in getting up to speed. If there is someone who can tutor me - we can use Netmeeting, and then I can create the movie segments. Another method is by creating either screen captures with annotations or AVI / SWF / MOV movies. You may also obtain a copy of Snagit which allows you to capture a screen image or record for under 50.00. These utilities would be helpful so that I then can create the polished tutorials. You may also want to contribute talking manuals.

Snagit
You may upload your AVI to your site and give me a link, then I can make a tutorial from that rough take.

Project In Development

Rick

PAN 2.08 Invocation Code Not Working

technobia Published 10/22/2006 23:09 Not too shy to talk Joined 04/17/2006 Comments 122

ENVIRONMENT:
PAN Ver. 2.08 running on Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6.0, PHP 5.1.6, MySQL 4.1.
Installed in the root of a XOOPS site (not as a module)

ISSUE:
When I place the invocation code that PAN generateed as follows in the header of my XOOPS theme.html file the banner is not displayed but the actual code instead.

<{php}> if (@include('C:/Inetpub/pridedepot-cms/www/ads/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
$phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
echo $phpAds_raw['html'];
}
<{/php}>

NOTES:
1. For ads to show up in the XOOPS theme.html file you need to change the Opening and closing php code as shown above. So this is actually correct and how I did it when it worked in the earlier installation on the same site/server (ref below)

2. I had the same version of PAN running on the same website and server before I upgraded my PHP to the current version (I was running 4.3.11 previously) I had to upgrade for other reasons.

3. After the PHP upgrade I could no longer login to the Ad Manager. Because I experienced similar issues with many of my XOOPS modules after the PHP upgrade, uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the issue so I took the same approach with PAN. I uninstalled the application, droped the database and re-installed from scratch with a new db and a fresh download of the source files.

4. I have uploaded the banners and created a publisher etc.

5. In the PHP.ini file I have: register_long_arrays = on

QUESTION:
Once person I consulted with thinks the code is wrong somehow. Could this be an incompatibility with PHP 5.1.6??? If so, is there a fix?

Thanks - Technobia

I am currently using phpAdsNew 2.0.8 running on Apache 1.3.34, PHP 4.4.1 and MySQL 4.1.21-standard.

This is what my invocation code looks like.

<{php}>
if (@include(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT').'/bads/phpadsnew.inc.php')) {
if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
$phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:1', 0, '_blank', '', '0', $phpAds_context);
echo $phpAds_raw['html'];
}
<{/php}>

It is slightly different from yours, dont know if that helps you any....
sorry i could not be of more help.

Hello,

Are there any plans to create a module of the latest version of Open ads for XOOPS or update this article to include the latest version of Openads. This mod will help a lot.

Thanks guys
