All I get is <

I added the new code this morning, a simple copy and paste job, and renamed the files to those suggested in the setup.

All I get now however is '<' where the ad should be (http://www.TheEnvironmentSite.org/Forum/)

Any ideas?

 

I have the exact same problem. Either using the default file names or alternate file names. Been running the ads without any problems with the old files. No idea what the problem might be?? Switched back until it's figured out. Don't want to get an "failed validation" E-Mail.

 

I simply get no ads showing anymore.
I uploaded the 2 new files. I chmodd'd the .txt file and put the new code into the pages but where I once had 5 ads I now have no ads.

Here's the code I'm using

<?php
ini_set ("include_path", ini_get ("include_path") . ':../:../../:../../../:../../../../');
include ('ad_network_213.php');
echo $ad_network;
?>

and I'm trying to embed it within a PHPBB2 forum site

I did a straight copy/paste from the instructions on the coop ad network site.

 

can anyone shed light on my problem (above)?
thanks

Adigaskell,

I looked at your site and saw that it was showing advert | advert | advert |<

I assume you have it set up to actually show three text ads - this part seems to be working OK. However, there does appear to be a slight issue in relation to the new code for phpbb2. In my case, I have 4 text ads showing as advert | advert | advert | advert |||

Although the 213 code takes care of the multiple ad units, the following text still appears in item 4 of the phpbb2 setup page:

If you would like to run more than one ad for a weight bonus (see previous step). You will want to use whatever variables you assigned to your additional ads (for example {AD_NETWORK2}).

The advice given by Digitalpoint above to adigaskell shows that this part of item 4 is out of date. It does suggest that perhaps there may be a duplication of some kind, the result of which is that redundant "|" or "<" characters appear after the text ads in phpbb2. As I'm new to this I'm open to correction.

Yonnermark,

You're using the code for ordinary web pages. If you go to the FAQ page and click on the link for "phpbb2.X", you'll get the details for setting it up in phpbb2.
=========

Hope this is of some help. I set up my site with the 211/212 versions only yesterday (on ordinary pages and my phpbb2 forum), and then got the 213 email this morning! As I've set up from scratch twice in two days, I've become fairly familiar with the process.

 

The first three links are actually static text links so nothing to do with the coop ad network. I'll have a good look at the code this morning to see if I can uncover the problem.

 

One thing I should have mentioned is that maybe you should purge your ad_network_ads_214.txt file. If you made any adjustments after you copied the new code, there could be a residue in the txt file that is affecting the display of ads.

Also, I presume that you updated your page_tail.tpl and overall_footer.tpl as well as copying across the new ad_network_214.php and ad_network_ads_214.txt. Just checking....

 

It seems that the page_tail page was displaying the wrong code for some reason. All fixed now. Thanks for your help guys.

 

After all my talk about code errors, I checked and saw that my own overall_footer.tpl was not updated, so a grovelling apology for doubting DigitalPoint! I was sure I had copied the new file across, maybe my FTP failed at the time.

However, I still think that item 4 on the setup page for phpbb2 should be amended to take the new version 213 into account.
