  1. There is a new Advertiser and Publisher self-Signup (self-registration) plugin available with the following features:

    • One-click install
    • Advertiser creation by admin.
    • Publisher creation by admin.
    • Advertiser self-service signup page (with option to accept terms).
    • Publisher self-service signup page (with option to accept terms).
    • Form field validation for data integrity
    • Clear administrator menus

    Full disclosure: I wrote this plugin, recently because of frustration with existing options, and would appreciate feedback.

     

    ps. Handling registration fees, and campaign creation, etc, is a matter for other (related) plugins and are works-in-progress.

  2. I'm looking for a way to make an external call during plugin installation/setup which *includes* processing a user prompt response. What I have so far is a javascript dialogue box prompt to the user, (which is fine). The problem I have is getting that value back to the plugin installation process (within the php preinstallscript), so that the value can be inserted into the configuration settings file.

     

    Like this during install: user prompt -> value -> plugin_settings_config.

     

    Perhaps I'm making this more complicated than it needs to be, but it seems to me an awkward handover, between client and server, and perhaps someone has already solved this before me. Maybe there's an obvious and easy hook which I am missing? Any helpful suggestions as to how to go about this appreciated.

     

    Cheers.

  3. I've just finished writing an Advertiser-and-Publisher-Self-Service-Plugin for Revive. I'd like to give it a test run on an external system before releasing it in the wild. If you're interesting in testing this plugin, and providing feedback, please contact me directly: [email protected]

     

    Cheers.

     

    Hello,

     

    We just finished installing Revive. We really love the features. Can you please help me set-up publisher sign-up? Also, I would like to create accounts which cannot access all the details. 

    For example, 1 advertiser shouldn't be able to see other advertisers' campaigns. At the moment when I create a new user, the new user is having access to all campaigns. 

     

    Thank You,

  4. Hi Henjola,

     

     

    Not really. However, I got so fed up with misleading half-English descriptions, and non-functional plugins, that I've decided to write my own. This is a work-in-progress with light at the end of the tunnel :)

     

     

    Hi Richard - did you manage to find out what difference between those two solutions are? It's not apparent from the website...

  5. Revive does so much more than that.

     

    However, it sounds like you want a "banner rotator" software. As as I understand it, Revive will not do this "out of the box", but you can apparently set up an iframe to use Revive to do something similar, if you really must...

     

    Also, the title of this forum post is very misleading.

  6. Yep, Matteo. It's all fine here now. It turned out to be a mishandled object id. :)

     

    Hi Richard, that's correct. There's nothing wrong with what you are doing and I can confirm it works here, so there must be something wrong with your test environment. I'm afraid some more debug on your end will be necessary.

  7. I have a plugin in development which needs to redirect the user to a different page, a couple of folders down the /www/admin/.../... hierarchy. I'm using redirect() with a relative-to-base path, like this:

      OX_Admin_Redirect::redirect("plugins/modulename/blabla.php");
    

    The url is correct, and is correctly handled at the end of the process. The problem is that this *first* appears to log the user out of Revive altogether, which has the effect of sending them to the login page. Once the login details are correctly entered, the user is correctly forwarded to the correct url, as specified above.

     

    There are no other arguments sent, and no permission changes that I'm aware of. The user is essentially going back to where they started the process, and has full permissions to do so. It's a tad frustrating to be redirected AND logged out. I hope I've described this clearly. Does anyone have any suggestions for what could be the problem here?

     

     

    Thanks in advance for any helpful tips.

     

    R.
