Flash file advertisement in v2.30.01

New Member Joined: Nov 21, 2006 Posts: 6

Hello all,

As we speak I'm setting up the advertisement module in RN2.30.01. While doing this I stumbled up a 'problem' or 'bug'.

I found out that while trying to add a flash file that the link while be truncated to 100 chars. I already checked my database and changed the value for "imageurl" from 100 to 255 in "nuke_banner".

However even after this alteration I am unable to put in a link which has more than 100 chars.

Anyone a possible solution?

Thanks in advance!!

With kind regards,

There is a maxlength in the form you need to change in the code

Code:




<input type="text" name="imageurl" size="50" maxlength="100" value="http://" />

@evader99,

Thank you very much for your input. Found several lines in de admin/index.php underneath the module advertising.

Changed them and everything is working great as we speak!!

Thanks again!

Ok, to be complete:

1) Open your database with phpMyAdmin or trough cPanel (whatever your WHP is providing).
2) Look for $prefix_banner
3) Open structure of this database
4) Locate imageurl; type= VARCHAR; length=100 change the length to 255
5) Save your new structure

Ok your database has been updated. Now for the changes in the code:
1) Open ../modules/Advertising/admin/index.php
2) Look for the following code (around line 362)

Code:

         . '<tr><td>' . _IMAGESWFURL . ':</td><td><input type="text" name="imageurl" size="50" maxlength="100" value="http://" /></td></tr>'

Change this to:

Code:

         . '<tr><td>' . _IMAGESWFURL . ':</td><td><input type="text" name="imageurl" size="50" maxlength="255" value="http://" /></td></tr>'

3) The next occurence is around line 641:

Code:

echo '<tr><td>' . _FLASHFILEURL . ':</td><td><input type="text" name="imageurl" size="50" maxlength="100" value="' . $imageurl . '" /> &nbsp; <a href="' . $imageurl . '" target="_blank"><img src="images/view.gif" border="0" alt="' . _SHOW . '" title="' . _SHOW . '" /></a></td></tr>'

Change this to:

Code:

      echo '<tr><td>' . _FLASHFILEURL . ':</td><td><input type="text" name="imageurl" size="50" maxlength="255" value="' . $imageurl . '" /> &nbsp; <a href="' . $imageurl . '" target="_blank"><img src="images/view.gif" border="0" alt="' . _SHOW . '" title="' . _SHOW . '" /></a></td></tr>'

4) Next look around line 647:

Code:

echo '<tr><td>' . _IMAGEURL . ':</td><td><input type="text" name="imageurl" size="50" maxlength="100" value="' . $imageurl . '" /></td></tr>'

Change this to:

Code:

      echo '<tr><td>' . _IMAGEURL . ':</td><td><input type="text" name="imageurl" size="50" maxlength="255" value="' . $imageurl . '" /></td></tr>'

5) Save your work!

No you're done and you're able to setup flashlinks with a length of 255 chars!

Good luck!!
