Problem with Banner plugin -Wrong date

[Peter Jonsson]

So i just installed the banner plugin and i have set it up and added some banners.

The problem are that the banners are dated 1970-01-01 so there is something wrong with the plugin as the rest of the site shows the right date and year :D

Hello,

you can fix the problem in the following way:

- open file plugins/banners/admin/banners.inc.php
- find this code (~283 - ~300):


$update = array(
'fields' => array(
.........
'Status' => $postData['status']
),
'where' => array('ID' => $bannerId)
);


and change to it:



$update = array(
'fields' => array(
.........
'Status' => $postData['status'],
'Date_release' => $now
),
'where' => array('ID' => $bannerId)
);

Thanks!

Even more problem with the banners plugin.

I made 2 boxes. One on the left sidebar and one on the right sidebar.

Now i go make 1 banner to put on the right banner. That works.
Now i make a banner to put on the left sidebar. That banner end up at the right sidebar.

So all my banners end up in the right sidebar.

Got it to work, i reinstalled the plugin.

Now i only have only last thing to do then the feature is active also.

How can i change the name on the boxes so all boxes have the same name on the front but when they shoose the location it says the real name.
It's kinda ugly to have it like this "Start - leftside box" "Start - rightside box" on the front page. I want the boxes to say "Annons

You can change the name of block to static but it will be hard-coding.

1. Add a lang key (for example: block_banner_name)
2. Open file plugins/banners/admin/banner_boxes.inc.php
3. find this code:



// check name
$f_name = $_POST['name'];
foreach( $allLangs as $lkey => $lval )
{
if ( empty( $f_name[$allLangs[$lkey]['Code']] ) )
{
array_push( $errors, str_replace('{field}', "<b>{$lang['name']}({$allLangs[$lkey]['name']})</b>", $lang['notice_field_empty']) );
array_push( $error_fields, "name[{$lval['Code']}]" );
}
$f_names[$allLangs[$lkey]['Code']] = $f_name[$allLangs[$lkey]['Code']];
}


and change it to



// check name
$f_name = array();
foreach( $allLangs as $lkey => $lval )
{
$f_names[$allLangs[$lkey]['Code']] = $GLOBALS['lang']['block_banner_name'];
}

Tried it and nothing happened.

Made a lang key:

Key - se | block_banner_name Value - Annons System module - common

Then i copy paste the php code above and over the old php code.

But nothing, it says the same names as before.

Do you edit these banner boxes after changes?

[Peter Jonsson]

You mean change the names or something ? No i havent.

Ok, i changed the name of the box and the name are blank!
No i cant see what the name of the box are and when they are choosing what box they want their banner in they can see the name of that box either.

All i want is to change the name on the frontpage not on the admin panel.

[Peter Jonsson]

You have any fix for this ?

[Peter Jonsson]

The plugin dont work with the tab Transactions ? I dont see under Transactions page that anyone have bought a banner space.
