I cant seem to get the entrecard option to work. It states that it is configured but when I got to advertise on my site, onemadamerican.com, it only gives me the option to pay with paypal. Please Help
Just a quick checklist for the EC payment settings:
* EntreCard checkbox enabled?
* seller ID added?
* seller secret added?
* credit ratio set?
I'll also double-check the payment settings on the latest script to be on the safe side.
Just realised what the problem is. The message will read "setup incomplete" if you have entered all the settings correctly, but not ticked the "enable" checkbox.
I've updated the download so as to read "disabled" (instead of setup incomplete) if the payment enabled checkbox is not ticked, to avoid confusion.
Where is the check box to check at? Sorry that I cant find it
Found it and it works great now. Thanks so much!
I am getting this error when trying to upgrade from 1.0 Lite:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object in /usr/www/users/pcmech/pcmech/wp-content/plugins/oiopub-direct/include/upgrade.php on line 72
What gives? And since it insists on popping up in the middle of the entire admin panel, I have to uninstall just so I can use WP.
Sorry, there was a missing variable on the 1.xx update function - now fixed.
You may be better off going for an uninstall of the lite version and then doing a fresh install of v2.0.
How do I uninstall the prior plug-in? I'm at a disadvantage here because your documentation is currently offline. I have de-activated the Lite plug-in, but do not know how to do an uninstall to remove database tables.
From memory, I don't believe the lite version ever had an uninstall button, as it was based off an early version of the plugin. The simplest way would therefore probably be deletion via phpmyadmin (or an equivalent of).
Select all the oiopub database tables, "drop" them, then run the following query from the sql tab (this assumes the wordpress prefix is wp) to clean up any oiopub options:
DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE 'oiopub%'
You should then be free to activate the new version.
-----
Not sure whether you've tried this also, but providing the upgrade routine makes it to the end (which it should do with the latest download), you would then be able to hit the uninstall button on the new version - which deletes everything - then re-activate for a fresh install.
im having a trouble. i have updated the plugin. Overwritted all files with the new ones but now i have 3 problems.
The ads that are supposed to fill the blank spots aren't filling them.
and everytime i make a new post this error shows:
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Access denied for user 'dahhnet'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/dahhnet/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/advertise/include/database.php on line 60
Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: A link to the server could not be established in /home/dahhnet/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/advertise/include/database.php on line 60

It's all linked to the same problem - which appears to be that when mysql_query is called, a database "connection identifier" cannot be found or created.
Normally it should be when it is loaded as a wordpress plugin, since Wordpress creates a connection identifier when it connects to MySQL.
What I've done to start with is to modify the download to accept an existing connection identifier if one is available. Try that to begin with and let me know whether it fixes the issue for you.
There is no way to change passwords on the new site. I had to put up with the random generated password when I reset my account password last night.
I'm talking about the site account here and not on the application. Thanks.
Great work so far!
One question though, what happened to the option of choosing between between homepage only and sitewide links? I had one link that is only supposed to show on the home page and the new setup prevents me from doing so. Gah!
Edit: In addition, the function to remove an Advertising plugn "Add your link here" is missing as well. I'd like this restored as I don't want to bring too much attention to links that are not nofollowed, and which otherwise appear naturally.
@archondigital - correct, it was left out entirely by accident. It's on my list of things to touch up over the weekend.
@Lincoln - the home page / site wide method was very Wordpress specific, which is why it isn't in the new version. However, you can still replicate it:
if(is_home()) {
//home page zone
oiopub_link_zone('X', 'center');
} else {
//all other pages zone
oiopub_link_zone('Y', 'center');
}
If you need to do it using a widget, then I'd recommend downloading the php code widget from Wordpress.
Thanks.
I prefer using the Javascript version to place the ad zone on my site. Also looking into using it as an ad server for my other sites.
I re-installed OIO Publisher on a sub domain now as a stand-alone app. It used to be a Wordpress blog with the OIO plugin when I added it to my listings but when I place the key it won't accept it.
Do I have to remove and then re-submit the site to my listings again?
The current situation is that in order to use the API Key (or make a submission to the marketplace):
(a) the script must be installed on the same sub-domain as the listing.
(b) if the installed sub-domain changes, then the listing would need editing to reflect this.
-------
This could pose a problem now, as people start to install the script on a different sub-domain / domain to the listing itself. Up until now it was a Wordpress plugin, so the script had to be on the same domain as the lsting.
There is also the problem of people wanting to link multiple sites to one install. At the moment each API key is actually tied to the listing url, not the script install url.
-------
Options (off the top of my head):
(a) change the structure - tie the API key to the domain of the script install, not the website listing.
(b) maintain the same structure - one API key for each listing (and therefore a separate script install required for each submission), but allow the script install domain and the website domain to be different.
Either option would work I think, the main difference between the 2 being that (a) allows for multiple listings tied to one script (not sure if that is a good thing) and (b) doesn't, which makes it much easier to implement.
If you have any thoughts, feel free to share them...
@project admin: The new version fixed the sql problems, but the problem with ads not feeling the empty spots remains...
Can you try upgrading to 2.04 (just released). I'm not convinced it will fix your issue, but it does address an issue with default ads.
Let me know how it goes.
i addressed to you as project admin. lool on me. Simon the update worked. That issue is corrected now. SO far all seems working fine.
I started installing the script separately for my new domain. Seems it does work better and makes much more sense that way.
I am submitting a new listing and would like to delete the previous one to avoid duplicate listings. Thanks.
