phpadsnew extension

[updated]

Concerning http://ez.no/community/contribs/3rd_party/extension_phpadsnew_pubsvn

Has anyone successfully upgraded their phpadsnew extension to support the latest phpadsnew 2.0.3 release? I started to look at this extension but found the copy of phpadsnew that was included wouldn't install for me at all, possibly due my own server environment? However the latest version installed fine, so I am keen to keep the latest version if at all possible.

Also if anyone is willing to share their installation experiences I am keen to compile them and try and put together some more detailed installation instructions that may help any future users of this excellent extension.

I believe input that covers the following areas would be of most benefit.
- Very basic phpadsnew install instruction that is accompanied by rewrite rule modifications etc.
- phpadsnew database setup / export / and (possible) re-inclusion back into eZ publish's database.
- Working template code that covers both where code can be placed and what personalization is needed.
- Details about any eZ publish alterations that are needed or can enhance the user, for example adding keywords to classes
- Typical usage scenarios (eZ publish specific hints and tips to get the most out of it)

With over 250 downloads to date (excluding svn) there has to be some willing people. Once I feel we have a well covered install guide I will submit it back to Björn for inclusion into the svn.

I can also be emailed if you have written content that may not present well in a forum, ( brendan [at] dbinformatics [dot] com [dot] au )

Hi Brendan,

I'm also very interested in phpadsnew.

Had the same installation-problems:
phpadsnew from the extension-package was not working, fresh download from sourceforge did.

Changed RewriteRule (There is one bracket missing, just count the opening and closing brackets).
Dumped the tables via shell into the eZ database:
mysqldump -h <host> -u <user> -p<password> <adsnew-database> | mysql -h <host> -u <user> -p<password> <eZ-datbase>

So now I can work on this tables with phpadsnew by accessing <mydomain>/extension/phpadsnew/phpadsnew/admin/index.php

...and should be able to use the banners in eZ as well.

The lines Björn is mentioning were already inserted.
Tried the template-examples: no error, no warning, no result.
This is were I'm stuck in the moment.
Maybe it's just a point of how to configure the banners in phpadsnew?!?
Havn't had time yet to explore that in a systematic way.

In the moment phpadsnew has not my highest priority, but it will in about 3 weeks.
I hope, I can get Sören's help on this. If so or if I figure it out of my own I promise to keep you updated.

Did you make any progress in the meantime?

Cheer up, sooner or later we will succeed!

Has anyone who may be monitoring this thread had any success in the use of the PAN extension? If so could you please share with the rest of us?

Hi

I am trying to figure out how to use phpadsnew and I have come to the point where my ads are shown using this code:

{let data=phpadsnew( '3', 'html')}
             {$data.html}
{/let} 

This picks up the ad with the ID 3, and works fine. However. I would like to be able to place an ad in a zone and pick it up without knowing the ID of the ad, just the zone.

I think the way of using the ads ID is to nondynamic and would like more flexibilty by using zones. Can anyone help?

I also wonder how to loop over 2 ads in one zone..

Best Regards
