Hi Simon,
I've installed OIO Publisher on a new site I'm trying to get off the ground, and I've run into a bit of a hiccup with banner (125x125) layout in the right column.
I had it set for 2 rows, 2 columns, and it displayed fine for a while - and then, for no apparent reason, the banners insisted on being displayed in one column down. And for the life of me I can't figure out how to remedy the situation. Nothing I do seems to make a difference.
It seems the CSS-styling may have gone, since the empty "Advertise Here" block has lost it's gray border. But for how and where to fix it I'm at a loss. You can see the site here: http://www.imshowcase.com
Appreciate any help!
Regards,
Phil
Hi Phil,
I think I know the reason:
http://www.imshowcase.com/advertising/images/style/output.css
That's the stylesheet url, but the server can't find the /advertising/ folder. I'm presuming you used the script rewrite setting. Have you added the code required (shown next to the admin setting) to your htaccess file? It must be put just under the RewriteEngine On line.
If you can't get the rewrite setting to work, I'd recommend removing it, and everything should work again.
Hi Simon,
That's the strangest thing - I did in fact add that code to the .htaccess file, and for a while everything worked fine until it for no apparent reason at all went pear shaped.
So I checked now - thanks for mentioning the .htaccess file - and for some reason that code had disappeared from the file! Weird...
Thanks for your help!
Phil
Hey Simon,
I added that code back into the .htaccess file, but it's not helping. Is there anything else I should do?
Phil
Fixed! Don't worry Simon, it was the cache fooling me!
Regards,
Phil
Glad you got it sorted. :)
Hi Simon,
The same thing has happened on my site after I upgraded to v2.07. It all looked fine with v2.04.
I haven't changed the plugin url, so I'm not sure what's causing my issue; you can view the output css file at http://wp-premiums.com/wp-content/plugins/oiopub-direct/images/style/output.css
I couldn't leave the ads looking as they were, so I've had to re-enter my ads manually until it's sorted. I can try to recreate the problem on my test site in the morning if necessary.
If you're able to create it on the test site, that would be good. There's not much I can do without seeing how it looks first-hand.
Hi Simon,
I've recreated the issue at this site. Although I've also provided a default image url, you'll notice that it's not showing up either.
Thanks, I'll check it out for you shortly.
I found what I think is the issue.
If you look at the source code, at the banner ad zone, you'll see that there is an extra <ul> surrounding the zone. If you're able to remove that extra layer, it should work correctly.
PS. also fixed the issue with default image not displaying that you spotted
<div id="primary" class="sidebar">
<ul>
<ul class='oio-banner-zone' id='oio-banner-1' style='width:270px; height:270px; margin:-5px; margin:auto;'>
<li class='border' style='width:121px; height:121px; line-height:121px; margin:5px; text-align:center;'><a rel='nofollow' href='http://usbshowcase.com/wp-content/plugins/oiopub-direct/purchase.php?do=banner&zone=1' title='Advertise Here'>Advertise Here</a></li>
<li class='border' style='width:121px; height:121px; line-height:121px; margin:5px; text-align:center;'><a rel='nofollow' href='http://usbshowcase.com/wp-content/plugins/oiopub-direct/purchase.php?do=banner&zone=1' title='Advertise Here'>Advertise Here</a></li>
<li class='border' style='width:121px; height:121px; line-height:121px; margin:5px; text-align:center;'><a rel='nofollow' href='http://usbshowcase.com/wp-content/plugins/oiopub-direct/purchase.php?do=banner&zone=1' title='Advertise Here'>Advertise Here</a></li>
<li class='border' style='width:121px; height:121px; line-height:121px; margin:5px; text-align:center;'><a rel='nofollow' href='http://usbshowcase.com/wp-content/plugins/oiopub-direct/purchase.php?do=banner&zone=1' title='Advertise Here'>Advertise Here</a></li>
</ul>
</ul>
</div><!-- #primary -->
Thanks, that fixed the main problem, but the default image is still not showing.
I fixed it, but you'd need to overwrite the file I changed (the include/output.php file) from the download.
It works now, thanks for your help.
I've just updated the plugin version on my main site, and removed the ul tags as you suggested, but I have found that the 125px ads are only appearing in a single column, not in two columns that are specified in the zone settings.
I've also noticed that although I have 4 default ads set up for the zone, it isn't rotating them for the free slot that's available - it's only showing the first default ad in the list.
Can you help?
Unforunately I'm not able to look into it until at least the weekend (work crisis), but after a quick look all I can think is there is some difference either in the sidebar code or the Wordpress theme css file (eg. sidebar width)?
For the rotation, switch to "include in rotation" for now, that will rotate the defaults with the purchased ads correctly.
