I have had OIO for quite sometime now and can not figure it out. I am not a tech guy at all. I do not understand how to upload banners for paid advertising. I have had many people ask me how to do it, and have lost advertising due to it. Why is there not a browse button for users to upload their banner? WHat is the banner url function?
How do I insert banners and my clients? I would like a step by step process. It is not clear at all with OIO sales page.
Additionally, how do you insert zones on your site for ads to be displayed?
I really need some professional help to get things going to maximize using OIO p. I just got done upgrading and was hoping for the browse function to upload banners to be added.
No luck.
Please help.
Ah, maybe it should be better explained...
(1) There is no upload function, because by default the advertiser hosts the banner. The "banner url" input simply means that the advertiser should enter the full link (eg. http://www.mysite.com/images/mybanner.gif) to their image.
I'm looking to add an upload alternative for v2.0 however. ;)
(2) The ad zone code is displayed at the top of the ad zone settings page. It will look something like this:
Template Output Code, Zone 1: if(function_exists('oiopub_banner_output')) oiopub_banner_output('', 1);
You take that line of code, and insert it in the template file you want it to show in (eg. header.php or sidebar.php). You can also insert a zone as a sidebar widget if you have that option enabled.
Example code insertion (wrapped in php tags):
<?php if(function_exists('oiopub_banner_output')) oiopub_banner_output('', 1); ?>
Simon,
Thanks. When will the new release come? I hope real soon.
Why did you program this feature for the advertiser to host the image?
I can't remember why, but no one has ever mentioned it being a problem before, which is why I never felt a need to change it.
Of course I would be the one do it. =)
When do you think you will release this update? I think it is a very useful addition and I am sure others would agree.
OIO is awesome plugin, once a few upgrades are done, it will be flawless! Keep up the good work.
Thanks.
I won't give a timeframe on it at the moment, since it's a big rewrite, designed to integrate with any php script if required (to appeal to a wider market).
