Special Advertising Add-On for banners Tutorial

Wow, exactly what I have been looking for. I will try to use it. Many thanks!

If you use RSS you may notice that our special advertising link is included in rss output. In this output there is only votes count,no title and description. The more important thing is that your rss becomes INVALID.

To fix that, open rss.php in your main folder and do following:
1) find the first echo section (about line 140):

PHP Code:

        echo "<item>\n";
        echo "<title><![CDATA[". $title . "]]></title>\n";
        echo "<link>".getmyFullurl("storyURL", $link->category_safe_name($link->category), urlencode($link->title_url), $link->id)."</link>\n";
        echo "<comments>".getmyFullurl("storyURL", $link->category_safe_name($link->category), urlencode($link->title_url), $link->id)."</comments>\n";
        if (!empty($link_date))
            echo "<pubDate>".date('D, d M Y H:i:s T', $link->$link_date)."</pubDate>\n";
        else 
            echo "<pubDate>".date('D, d M Y H:i:s T', time())."</pubDate>\n";
        echo "<dc:creator>$link->username</dc:creator>\n";
        echo "<category>" . htmlspecialchars($category_name) . "</category>\n";
        echo "<guid>".getmyFullurl("storyURL", $link->category_safe_name($link->category), urlencode($link->title_url), $link->id)."</guid>\n";
        echo "<description><![CDATA[" . $description . "<br /><br />".$link->votes." ".$main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_RSS_Votes')." ]]></description>\n";
        echo "</item>\n\n"; 


and add following condition:

PHP Code:

 if ($link->id <>100) { 


Please note that 100 is my special advertising link id so if you have different number change this value.
The whole code should look like this:

PHP Code:

        if ($link->id <>100) {
        echo "<item>\n";
        echo "<title><![CDATA[". $title . "]]></title>\n";
        echo "<link>".getmyFullurl("storyURL", $link->category_safe_name($link->category), urlencode($link->title_url), $link->id)."</link>\n";
        echo "<comments>".getmyFullurl("storyURL", $link->category_safe_name($link->category), urlencode($link->title_url), $link->id)."</comments>\n";
        if (!empty($link_date))
            echo "<pubDate>".date('D, d M Y H:i:s T', $link->$link_date)."</pubDate>\n";
        else 
            echo "<pubDate>".date('D, d M Y H:i:s T', time())."</pubDate>\n";
        echo "<dc:creator>$link->username</dc:creator>\n";
        echo "<category>" . htmlspecialchars($category_name) . "</category>\n";
        echo "<guid>".getmyFullurl("storyURL", $link->category_safe_name($link->category), urlencode($link->title_url), $link->id)."</guid>\n";
        echo "<description><![CDATA[" . $description . "<br /><br />".$link->votes." ".$main_smarty->get_config_vars('PLIGG_Visual_RSS_Votes')." ]]></description>\n";
        echo "</item>\n\n";
        } 


Thats all

Thanks, I'm such a noob. This will be interesting to say the least.

Hi! This may be a little off topic, but how do you display the latest/total count in your categories box?

[AnAlienHolakres3]

This need special modification which is described in another tutorial here:

[aviator]

This is an excellent tutorial. Has anyone implemented this add-on on Pligg 9.9.0? Are there more modifications required for it to work on 9.9.0?

[abraxas]

A fantastic module.

I am stuck at the beginning with trying to edit the _links
I do not see anywhere to edit this database or the fields within it.

I hope dearly that someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank you.
