Advertising spots:

Pornogoddess · 2011-02-22 17:14:11

Adrian,

Please excuse my non-programming lingo beforehand...

Can we make the Category "column" be less wide? It's taking up a lot of valuable real estate, in my opinion. Could there be a way to scale this to the largest word used? ie: if my longest category is ass to mouth, it will stop at the end of the H in mouth, but if my longest word for a category is blowjob, it will stop at the end of B in blowjob?

Also, can we have an advertising space at the top, akin to how xhamster has it, underneath the menus?

Could we possibly have a vertical advertising spot to the right of the videos (by making the video thumnails a bit smaller) again, similar to how xhamster has it on the main page.

Could we have a way to set the advertising for "video view right" different for each category/sponsor?

When we are adding advertising as an "image" rather then html, is there a way to stack two or three on top of each other in a spot? Similar to how we can use <br /> to stack html/flash advertising on top of one another?

Don't hate me for my long list, please!

* For the category width problem. It could be done, however it would not work perfectly, because there will be space in the videos (right part).
* We can add a advertising space at the top.
* This cannot be done, it would mean to change the entire template/css.
* I will think about this, considering that there will be player advertising, i dont know if the adv spot below the player is that important anymore.
* This is not possible, however you could manually upload the images to your server and then write the html, and use the code method when adding a adv.

Symtab,

I understand. Sorry to request so many things that weren't possible. I don't know how to program a script like this, so wasn't aware of the technical capabilities.

These are some things that I think you said were possible and some other ideas I had: If I mention something that is technically impossible or takes too much time, I'm sorry.

1: The advertising underneath the Menu I think would be a great advertising space. If you could add it when you have time. If we could target this for each category it would be great as well...

2: If we could make Video Player Right be targeted for each Category, I think it would help with monetizing our sites. Even if we can add ads to the player, it's just one more way to attract a visitor by showing them ads that are specific to the niche they clicked on.

3: If we could make Video Category Bottom, Left and Square be targeted for each category. Rough Sex category shows rough sex ads on the bottom and left, etc.

4: There is no advertising space for Forums, I think this would be a pretty good spot.

All in all, I think the customization of the categories will just help us all to show specific ads to people that are looking for specific things...

Thanks! :-)

@1)

Do you mean something like this:

If yes, it can be easily done, the variable is always there. Let me know if you want to know how to do that

*EDIT*: i should read before posting....you want it per category. Ok, i can't help out with that

Actually the per category advertising for more spots is a good idea, but i have to redesign some parts of the script to make it work. I will add it after the final version is released (it involves a lot of work right now and it will delay the final version even more).

Coscast, I would love to know how to put the advertising in up there. Actually, do you have ICQ, because I would love to exchange information with you so we could chat once and a while about our sites. ICQ #: 645594353 (anyone from this forum is free to add me, I'd love to be able to talk to you all.)

Symtab:
I just think the targeted category advertising compliments the rest of the targeted advertising you created nicely. (and ONE of the many things that sets you apart from the rest!) The more we can target individuals fetishes, the more we will all profit.

I am fine with you waiting for the final version to be released and I think that's the best idea to get it ready first. There's lots of more important work for now!

I will be waiting patiently. I love logging in to see the changes you make.

Can't wait til the next release. It's fun being part of the beta and waiting for the next version of the script!

As always, the reason your script is the best and why you are the best is simple: You take the time to listen to your customers! It's a wonderful feeling to know that you are looking out for us. Makes it quite comfortable knowing that you are always willing to help.

Hey.

You need to edit a template.

Open:
templates/YourTemplateFolder/frontpage.tpl.php

Find these lines:

        <div id="right" class="width-760">
            <div class="content-box">
                <h4 class="content-box-title"><?php echo __('watched-title'); ?></h4>
                <a href="<?php echo RELATIVE_URL; ?>/video/watched/" id="refresh" class="content-box-refresh"><?php echo __('refresh'); ?></a>
                <div id="content-watched-videos" class="content clear">

AFTER this lines add

<?php echo p('adv', 'header'); ?>

As you see, i took the "header" advertising group.
Now you can add an advertisement in the Admin Panel for the group called "Header Advertising".

For editing those files i can recommend Notepad++. But the windows editor should do it too.

Coscast,

Thanks for the help! Worked perfectly. I do have a question for you though...
Do you know where we could insert this code so that it goes under the Menu links and Above the Categories/Being Watched? Kind of put inbetween the two.

Thanks! :-*

Figured it out.

Under:

<?php defined('_VALID') or die('Restricted Access!'); ?>
    <div id="page">
        <?php if ($this->errors): ?>
        <div class="errors">
        <?php foreach ($this->errors as $error): echo e($error),'<br />'; endforeach; ?>
        </div>
        <?php endif; if ($this->messages): ?>
        <div class="messages">
        <?php foreach ($this->messages as $message): echo e($message),'<br />'; endforeach; ?>
        </div>
        <?php endif; ?>

add:

<?php echo p('adv', 'header'); ?>

Slowly but surely I'll get the hang of this. :-p

PS: I edited your post to highlight the code.
