Hi Simon
I'd like to know that if I were to use the same plugin for two separate blogs, how do I manage two different sets of pricing?
Thank you
Yan
Hi Yan,
What scenario were you thinking of? Do you mean (a) making separate installs of the plugin for each blog, or (b) using 1 install to show ads on both blogs?
The answer to (a) would be that I intend to make a global manager on OIOpublisher.com so that you can manage all your own installs remotely. The answer to (b) would be that you'd have to setup separate ad zones for each site, then set the zone title to indicate which site the ad was for when purchasing.
Hi Simon
I know OIO is going to better with each update so the thought of global manager really excites me.
Wait a minute, why am I asking this question in the first place, I could easily install the plugin on another blog, couldn't I? How ignorant I am....
I presume that's the right way of doing it without assigning any zone, is it not?
Anyway, thanks for your quick reply...
Yan
That's correct, a separate installation for each blog will allow you to manage each independently.
I'll hopefully be able to start work on the global manager once the bug reports have quietened down from the 2.0 release - it should make a big difference to those who have multiple installations.
All cleared! Looking forward to your next awesome update...

Hi Simon
I have a problem. It looks like upon upgrade I could no longer insert a banner into the system even though I had the confirmation. It just doesn't appear in the 'active' purchase.
Am I missing something here?
Yan
Found the cause. If you open edit.php and look for:
if($item->item_channel = 3 && $item->item_type == 4) {
Then change it to:
if($item->item_channel == 3 && $item->item_type == 4) {
Or just re-upload the plugin...
where is edit.php located?
oops never mind .. found it.
Would it be possible for you to make a list (with dates) of the files that you've changed as people have found bugs and they've been corrected? That would make it easier for us to know when there's been a minor fix or upgrade.
Already got a blog post doing exactly that:
http://blog.oiopublisher.com/2008/09/20-release-bug-tracker/
The latest changes should be up there tomorrow (along with a version change to 2.05).
Thanks, Simon..I got it worked. Just one more thing though, somehow when I browse to Manage > Categories, my admin dashboard behaves very weird. I have attached the image for your perusal here and this happened after I upgraded to the new version.
Yan
Try this and see if it helps...
OPEN:
platform/wordpress.php
FIND:
add_action('wp_head', 'oiopub_header_output', 3);
REPLACE WITH:
if(!oiopub_is_admin()) {
add_action('wp_head', 'oiopub_header_output', 3);
}
Thanks, Simon but it doesn't seem to work for me. I can live with it for now, should have any solution to it, I'll be pleased to know first hand.
Yan
Very odd. If you want me to have a look at it at some point, let me know.
Hey Simon
It's me again. I just noticed that some of the ads were not automatically marked as expired on its expire date and I have to manually do the cancellation myself. Is there any thing I could do to solve the issue.
Thanks for your advise..
Yan
If you haven't already, upgrade to 2.07 - it's got a nice extra feature that lets you re-initialise all the cron jobs (the bottom of the main page).
If something hangs (which is the most usualy cause for something like an expiry date not working), you can reset all scheduled tasks with 1 click.
Thanks, Simon. The last time when I upgraded to a new version I ran into some issues. Please advise what's the best option to upgrade? Do we just overwrite the existing file package? I did the same the last time but somehow my site behaved very weird while uploading (overwriting)...
Yan
That's the standard upgrade procedure, yes. You should only ever need to overwrite the existing files.
To make it easier while upgrading, you could create a blank folder and upload the new version to that folder. Then change the current folder to something like "oiopub-direct-old" and the new folder you have to "oiopub-direct" (that assumes oiopub-direct is the name of the OIO folder).
