Geek,

I've done as you said:

have you tried adding $ad[html] to the GAB_item_image template, then edit your banner and put your text in the HTML box?

It didn't work, no text was produced under the banner .

A few more things I noticed:
A) if someone opens a banner in a new tab, it won't load - it just loads the same page as you've clicked.
B) impression tracking isnt working, (yes i've setup a cron but when I press run cron now, it just prints a page saying GAB , and thats it).

I wasnt sure if the ad[htm,l] would work. Ill see if I can enable it for you.

I cant duplicate your open in new tabl problem. Wors as expected here?

Impression tracking is working, however there appears to be a lisht bug with the cron. In the meantime, compress via the manage link and Ill have a fix tonight.

If you click open in new tab on firefox it simply goes to yoururl.com/#top rather than the destination URL - that may be a bug in javascript links overall and not just gab .

Also - is impression tracking accurate? It seems to me that it's reporting HUGELY inaccurate numbers.

Crikey. Was I smashed this morning when I wrote that post? No, but it looks like it thanks to my handy keyboard.

Anyhooo. Test opening a new tab on one of these pages, it works fine on two sites I have tried.

As far as impression tracking, I wouldnt know why it wouldnt be right. Seems fine here?

Ahhh, there seems to be something wrong my end. Probably the way I set it up. Banners are pointing to myurl.com/#top rather than to gab_redirect.php. Any ideas what I've done wrong?

Default A few questions

My site uses vbPortal and PhotoPost. How can I get GAB to look in the templates for those applications for the assigned $GAB_ads[x] entry? Or am I limited to just the vBulletin templates?

Where do I look to edit the Wrapper text from "Advertisement" to something else?

Clicking on an ad with a URL link opens that site in a new window. In instances where the link is to anywhere within my forum site, my preference would be to open the link in the same window. Is there some way to do this?

Why do I sometimes get two banners appearing in one space?

Nick0r, do you have gab_redirect.php in your settings for the redirect page?

Fred - You need to add the script names to your 'script' collection in GAB . To get the script name, open the physical file up and look for DEFINE('THIS_SCRIPT', 'showthread'); or something similar. Its generally right at the top of the page.

You want to look in GAB_wrapper_standard template or just edit the GAB_advertisement phrase.

Edit your GAB_item_image template to change the open in new window thing (remove the target="_blank")

Two banners is most likely because a billboard has more than 1 ad in it.
