ad_network PHP File Update

This is what I did last time but sometimes Dreamweaver only replaces half of the code Really good when it works but annoying when it does'nt

I wonder if I have been doing something wrong or my dreamveaver is just buggy

 

sorry to hear ... could be the version ...

Sometimes it can be buggy

There's gotta be something out there to modify 200+ pages

 

Hi Shawn,

Can't get the new version working properly - using 215.php and selecting text only and 5 ads. It displays a different mixture of text, text banners and graphic banners on each refresh. I don't really think I can be doing anything wrong as the set up instructions are very straightforward.

Cheers
Linda

 

Hi, thanks - you must have replied the instant I pressed the send button!
Brilliant - it works just fine now

 

shawn,

does the file name indicate a newer version of the script or do you have code that increments the # of the file up each day (i.e. 212, 213, 214)?

 

Use a passthru.php page added to your site with this code. IF needed change the navy blue text in the code to whatever you named the ad_network_215.php file.

<?php

if (!function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
function file_get_contents($url) {
$handle = fopen($url, 'r');
$string = fread($handle, 4096000);
fclose($handle);
return $string;
}
}

include ('[COLOR=Navy]ad_network_215.php[/COLOR]');
echo preg_replace ("/<\/body>/i", $ad_network . '</body>', file_get_contents(str_replace ('../', '', $_REQUEST['file'])));

?>

Code (markup):

Next create .htaccess file with the code below and put it on the root directory of your site/server.

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm .html
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).htm [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ^(.*).html [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /passthru.php?file=$1
</IfModule>

Code (markup):

Hope that helps you! Of course you will most likely have to remove the old code on every page of your site, but at least on the next Coop update you only have to change a couple of files.

 

Hmmm.. My weight was sitting nicely at 54,000, validated today, then I installed the new file and my weight went to 24,000. I just revalidated again, hoping it would go back, and it's now at 8,750. Waah! Just letting you know. If there's anything I can do, please let me know.

FYI: My backlinks, PR and Pages in URL have not changed through all of this and I checked each time my weight changed .

 

I only see 81 pages returned for site:www.bobafind.com in google, and only 18 indexed when using the api.

 

Hi. I am just looking at your code and noticed that

ads.digitalpoint.com/network.php?b=...

should be:

ads.digitalpoint.com/network.php?c=

the B version is the old (soon to be obsolete) version.

BTW Anyone know what the "MSIE-Firefox-Safari-Netscape" bit used for in the response? I need some comments in that PHP code.

As noted in the previous post some omissions where made by me updating the asp script, so here I go again.

 

There is also a PHP based work around for ASP sites
Here

I strongly suggest using the PHP version above as the ASP one can lead to a whole world of problems if you have decent traffic.

 

Check forums.bobafind.com : 6,100 pages

 

Re: ASP Version:

I tried the new ASp file on one site for a day and had not problem. Low volume site getting about 50 visitors a day. SO I deploye it across all my sites (total about 2,000 visitors a day) and in minutes my server stopped responding.

I had to back out to the old version..... YIKES!

I run myt own windows 2003 server from my house on a busines class cable modem connection. I know squat about PHP and am not too keen on installing it.

 

Its a very easy install, I urge you not to run the asp version as there is no support for it and it can lead to problems that lead to extra hassle and work for the DP server/Shawn, the PHP version is just a case of uploading a couple of files and adding the code to your asp pages, the link is in my post above. PM me if you try it and have problems.

 

There havent been any previous problems with the asp version, have there?

 

lol, oh yes, my main site had been blocked numerous times for making excessive calls to the DP server, its a high traffic site but you can hardly bank against your site doing well by running the asp version, it has caused numerous problems with every asp version that I have tried and none have worked on it for more than a few weeks.

If you have a low traffic site this may never be a problem, but its hardly a long term game plan so best use the new php version with the work around to display it on an asp based site, you have been warned, I think I have tested Shawn patience to the limit unblocking me and you dont want to run an un-supported version.

 

I'm a little bit confused, Shaun. On your post that started this thread you said:

Now I took that to mean that we have a choice as to whether to update or not. But later posts make it sound as if we are required to. I didn't get any kind of email explaining this, though I've heard that others have.

So which is it? Are we required to change, or can we continue using the old code? This is a really big deal to me because I have a lot of sites I'll have to change a page at a time.
