Hello,
I have some questions about your extension, Ad Agency, that I couldn't find answers to in the product description. Could you tell me please:
1) does this extension support Joomla ACL or, if not, is there a possibility to manage its settings not as a Super Admin, but from another Joomla site account created for a user in a particular Joomla user groups in the User Manager?
2) does the extension support other currencies, except for the ones specified in the list available in the Settings > Payments backend menu?
3) does the component use the standard Joomla component for new user registrations from the Frontend? Does it support adding other Joomla user profile fields from the Joomla User Profile Plugin, or adding custom fields to the extension's advertiser registration form or to the other parts of the extension, for example?

Thank you in advance,

Best regards,
Pavel Mozgovoy

    Hi
    Thanks for your interset in our product. Let me help you to explain your questions one by one.

    For question 1.

    The extension support default Joomla ACL : http://prntscr.com/jsci64 that allow you to restrict users to access component. However Adagency component gives option to add new ads via Frontend for advertisers.

    For question 2.

    The extension supports the Payment via Payment plugins provided by us. At this moment we have 5 payment plugins support in this component, you can check them here

    For question 3.

    Yes! The component support default Joomla registration with additional user profile plugins fields
    If you will use the Adagency fields you will also has option for some custom fields from component.

    You can also login on our demo site and take a look around the features and options here

    Let me know if there is any doubt or question 🙂

    Regards

        hi,
        everything is great, thanks. But as for my question 2 - when I was asking it I meant that there are no some currencies available in the list in the Admin Panel although the payment system itself supports them. I was already aware that you have these payment plugins - but what I mean is that PayPal, for example, provides additional currencies in other countries, but they seem not to be available in the currencies list in the Settings > Payments menu in the Admin Demo Mode. Is there a way to add other currencies for the advertisers to pay with - with your help or in some other way?
        The rest of the features is very impressive, so I keep testing them - thanks a lot.

        Regards,

        Pavel Mozgovoy

            So, you are not planning to support more currencies, other than in the list - right?

            Regards

              pavel96c
              Currently it support the present currency, Can you share the currency ? So i can check it with development team on this.

              Regards

                Yes, what about mexican pesos, vietnam dongs and russian roubles?

                Regards

                  Hi
                  I shared the details with development team for more currency support, I will update you soon here with an update.

                  Thanks for your patience.

                  Regards

                    Hi,

                    You can log to database and must add a new registration in this database table - ad_agency_currencies.
                    Then you should add in language files:
                    language\en-GB\en-GB.com_adagency.ini
                    administrator\language\en-GB\en-GB.com_adagency.ini
                    your CURRENCY symbol, you find in these files about this text -> ;Currency symbols and you will see how should you do.

                    Kind Regards,
                    Alin

                    Oh, you mean through PHP Myadmin - I got it. Thanks, glad to hear that, your pre-sale support is very good. If you don't mind I have some more questions that appeared out of testing your demo-site with Ad Agency, so thank you in advance for your patience too.
                    1) why Captcha doesn't show up on the Frontend when registering as an advertiser although it is checked in the Setting > Registration in the Backend? Will it work after the purchase?
                    2) Does Ad Agency's keyword targeting feature support any kind of CCK, Flexicontent in particular - like on my Joomla site? If not, what CCK's exatly does it support?
                    3) Why the ads added as an advertiser on the Frontend won't be saved when clicking on the Save button and won't appear in the Managers > Ads list in the backend? Will it work after the purchase?
                    4) Is there an option to turn on the choice of available zones from a drop-down list for the advertiser when adding all the supported ad types from the FrontEnd? You see, as of the moment of testing your demo Ad Agency there's such a choice only for the Text Ads type although I've created the relevant packages for all the supported ad types. So now only Text Ads provide the advertiser with the choice of the zones available, other ad types don't. Could you tell me please why is that so?
                    5) Does Ad Agency support image resizing when adding Standard Banners or other ad types where adding an image is supported? I've also tested this on the AdAgency Light because on your demo adding the Standard Banner is not working like in the Light version, and the component accepts image banners of any sizes from the advertiser's part, but in fact in the Edit ad window in the Backend there's a message saying that "there are no zones that support this ad size" and that one of the 3 action types must be taken - create a new zone, changing the existing one or resize the image.
                    Would the Admin always have to resize the pending banners manually?
                    Or is there a way to inform the advertiser right on the Frontend what the image dimensions must be in the Add a Standard Banner window? What about the situation with the other ad types regarding this?

                    Again, thanks for your patience,
                    Regards

                      pavel96c

                      1) why Captcha doesn't show up on the Frontend when registering as an advertiser although it is checked in the Setting > Registration in the Backend? Will it work after the purchase?

                      Maybe there is some issue with your tempate or you have not added the captcha key, You need to check the keys are correct the captcha is ON.

                      2) Does Ad Agency's keyword targeting feature support any kind of CCK, Flexicontent in particular - like on my Joomla site? If not, what CCK's exatly does it support?

                      Its not clear what exactly you mean, IN the component you can add the keywords and target them, its not for specific 3rd party component.

                      3) Why the ads added as an advertiser on the Frontend won't be saved when clicking on the Save button and won't appear in the Managers > Ads list in the backend? Will it work after the purchase?

                      Hi Advertiser can add the ads via frontend and if you set the aprrval to yes the ads will be auto approved you can check the backend settings for ads.

                      4) Is there an option to turn on the choice of available zones from a drop-down list for the advertiser when adding all the supported ad types from the FrontEnd? You see, as of the moment of testing your demo Ad Agency there's such a choice only for the Text Ads type although I've created the relevant packages for all the supported ad types. So now only Text Ads provide the advertiser with the choice of the zones available, other ad types don't. Could you tell me please why is that so?

                      you can create any type of ads, when you create a zone, there is option for which type of ad you can show.

                      5) Does Ad Agency support image resizing when adding Standard Banners or other ad types where adding an image is supported? I've also tested this on the AdAgency Light because on your demo adding the Standard Banner is not working like in the Light version, and the component accepts image banners of any sizes from the advertiser's part, but in fact in the Edit ad window in the Backend there's a message saying that "there are no zones that support this ad size" and that one of the 3 action types must be taken - create a new zone, changing the existing one or resize the image.

                      the advance option for ads are only by admin side, however you can set the size of banner, you can create and add share details,it help me to understand it better.

                      Regards

                        Maybe there's some misunderstanding as follows:
                        1) about showing Captcha - I meant it's not working on your demo when testing it;
                        And testing Captcha in the Light version is not possible - you know that yourself;
                        2) about the keyword targeting and CCK - yes, the keywords are added in the Ad Agency component, but but will the ads will show based on the keywords specified inside the relevant site pages - which are built with the CCK? You know, if the site has lots of pages, you just have to use a CCK - and the keywords of each page are specified in the relevant field. For example, Flexicontent is just a component that extends the Joomla default com_content, com_category, com_tag, com_article etc. At the online webinar on Ad Agency on YouTube
                        someone asked a similar question about the keyword targeting and its compatibility with K2 - another CCK for Joomla.
                        Could you specify it with the developers, please?
                        3) again, I was talking about the ads that are not saved to the backend via the frontend of your demo-site, not mine - but I guess it must be working fine after the purchase;
                        4) unfortunately, again it's not what I asked you - I was saying that for the Advertiser on the frontend only the Text Ads option provides the choice of zones - but when adding other types of ads on your demo-site as an advertiser you can't choose what zone you wish to add such ads to, even if I created all the zones with each of the supported ad types;
                        5) yes, you're right - and that's the point: if I as an Admin set the size of a banner in the Backend, yet the Advertiser can add images of any size - even if the specific size is set for the banners by me on your demo, the Advertiser on the Frontend can still upload anything of any size (tested it on your demo) and the
                        image doesn't resize automatically like when adding an image to the Text Ad on the Frontend - try to compare it for yourself.
                        When tested on my host with the Light version - please see the screenshot of my Backend.
                        I just don't understand why specify the size in the Backend if you will have to change it anyway for each banner when approving them from the Backend. I hope now you get me right.

                        Regards

                        P.S. I wish the Advertiser could see such a message when adding a banner of the incorrect size on the Frontend - don't you think that would be useful and logical?
                        Regards

                        Hi,

                        1. Please make sure that this plugin - "Captcha - ReCaptcha" is enabled and you should add "Site Key" and "Secret Key"
                        2. Edit your zone and from "Ad Details" tab, set this option "Display ads based on keyword" to "Yes". Then edit what ads you want to display on front-end, and if that page contain these ads, for example: key1,key2,key3, you should add for your ads one of the keyord from this list, add key1 or key2 or all keywords. In that specific page, you should see your ads
                        3. You logged advertiser should have at least one campaign that has a package, and that package should have a zone for that specific ad

                        Kind Regards,
                        Alin

                        Ok, Alin, thank you! I will try it - as for now I've created only packages and assigned zones to them on your demo-site, but not campaigns for my fake advertiser, so this is really new information to me and I can now check it to see if it helps to resolve my concerns with the ad formats. Thanks!

                        Best regards,
                        Pavel
