Hi,
A few clients asked us how to use the advertising system, so we decided to write a howto about this (after we finish the final version, we will have a
documentation site and a wiki). So here it goes:
Adult Script Pro supports a few advertsing methods:
1. Position Advertising (or page advertising, almost each page can have its own advertising spots).
2. Per Video Advertising
3. Per Video Category Advertising
4. Per User Advertsing.
5. Per Sponsor Advertising
6. Per Pornstar Advertising
I will first explain how advertising works in Adult Script Pro. This is valid for all five methods. From Admin -> Advertising -> Add you can add banners, which have the following
properties:
a. Position (or Group) - this reflects the position and page where the banner will be displayed (Video Player, User Player and Pornstar are reserver for Per Video, Per Video Category,
Per User and Per Pornstar Advertising, the rest should point to the page and position. A Simple example: Categories Bottom - the http://www.domain.com/categories/ page bottom).
b. Name - is used internally in the Admin for your own information (its easier to find and group your banners if you use intuitive names0.
c. Description - same as b (you might need some more information besides the Name in some cases).
d. Expire - you can set a date your banner will expire (not appear) in this format: YYYY-MM-DD (year-month-day).
e. Status - Active (banner will appear imediately on your site)/Suspended (banner is added to the database, but it will not appear on the site)
f. Type - advertising banners can be text banners, image banners and html/javascript banners:
* Text Banners:
** Title - the text that will appear on your site for the link
** Description - the text that will be used as title (appears on mouseover) on your site for the link
** URL - the URL of the link (when a visitor clicks on the link, the visitor is redirected to counting url (counts clicks) and then he/she is redirected to this URL).
* Image Banners:
** URL - the URL of the image link (when a visitor clicks on the link, the visitor is redirected to counting url (counts clicks) and then he/she is redirected to this URL).
There are 2 methods for adding the image:
*** Image URL - the URL of the image (when displaying the image banner, the image will be loaded from the URL specified here)
*** Image File - the uploaded file will be used when displaying the image banner
* HTML/Javascript Banners:
** CODE - the html/javascript code used to display the banner (the clicks for this banner type cannot be counted, this feature will be added ASAP)
1. For the first method, Position Advertising, it is very simple, you select the Position and enter the banner information. Thats it.
2. Per Video Advertising, for this method you need to add your banner and select the Video Player as position/group. Once you've done this, you go to Admin -> Video -> Manage
and click on the Coins icon, the banners assigned to the Video Player position/group will appear. You click on the desired banner and then click Done. The selected banner will appear
only for this video, right below the flash video player (this can be used for targeted advertising, for example you have a White Girl - Black Guy Video and you see a lot of people from
a specific country what this video, you could add a advertising banner specific to that country).
3. Per Video Category Advertising, for this method you need to add your banner and select the Video Player as position/group. Once you've done this, you go to Admin -> Video
-> Categories -> Manage and click on the Coins icon, the banners assigned to the Video Player position/group will appear. You click on the desired banner and then click Done. The
selected banner will appear for all the videos in the specified video category, right below the flash player (this can be used for targeted advertising, for example for the Blonde
category, you should probably have a banner that show a blonde girl, or something similar).
4. Per User Advertising, is used by users (registered users). Users can add their own banner (from the frontend, and admins always need to approve the banner before its displayed
on the site). For all the videos uploaded the same user, his/her banner will appear under the flash player. This can be used if you have affiliates/sponsors that upload videos for you for
free and they want to display their own banners.
5. Per Sponsor Advertising, is used by Sponsors/Affiliates and the CSV Importer. From Admin -> Advertising -> Sponsors -> Add you can add your own sponsors
(nastydollars.com, vidz.com...) and then when you use the CSV Importer you just select the sponsor. For all the videos added with the CSV Importer with a sponsor selected, the
banner will appear right below the flash player.
All the 2, 3, 4, 5 methods are for videos. If you have a video that has all methods set, the following order is always respected: Per Video Advertising, Per User Advertising, Per
Sponsor Advertising and Per Video Category advertising (so basically the script checks if the video has a banner assigned, if yes it displays the banner, if not, it checks if the user
that owns the video has a banner added, if yes, it displays the banner, if not it checks if the video has a sponsor assigned, if yes, it displays the banner assigned to the sponsor, if not
it checks if the video category from which the video is part has a banner assigned, if found, it displays the banner).
6. Per Pornstar Advertising - to use this method, you need to select the Pornstar position/group for your banner. Once you've done this, you go to Admin -> Model -> Manage
and click on the Coins icon, the banners assigned to the Pornstar position/group will appear. You click on the desired banner and then click Done. The selected banner will appear on
the page of specified pornstar (left side, just below rating and views).
Each position/group (except for the special groups described above) can rotate banners (it is not a standard rotate, more of a random banner (standard rotate is easy to implement,
but it would require to much database interaction, which would use to much CPU)). You can set banners to rotate in a Group from Admin -> Advertising -> Groups -> Manage -> Edit.
Please let us know if you have any questions/ideas or anything to add to this howto (critics are also welcome).

Just a suggestion but maybe somewhere having all of the recommended ad dimensions included for the different zones? Video: 400 x 200, footer: 728 x 90 etc.
Kinda running blind for anybody that wants to include ads for the first time, maybe some form of layout map, or even just the dimensions.

I thaught about adding the dimensions, however this depends on the template and since we will have more templates in the future, its not possible. I could maybe draw a map for each template and load it when a users checks the dimensions?
