Remote ads not displaying

bwilliams

I need some help troubleshooting issues with the remote ad module.

I have the main component running on:
https://1073cleveland.com/

The ads display fine on the original site (see on the sidebar/footer of article pages: https://1073cleveland.com/win/current-contests/item/2676-inkcarceration-2023-ticket-giveaway)

From this website I would like to manage the ads on both this station and a few other sister sites.
I have the remote module installed on: https://wqmx.com/

No ads appear in article sidebars:
https://wqmx.com/contest/current-contest/item/13090-jason-aldean-btbo

I'm running the mod_ijoomla_adagency_remote module from adagency Pro 6.1.2.

Also the ad is appearing twice on https://1073cleveland.com/ (both the remote and the native ad). I want an option for the remote ad to only appear on the remote site.

I set you up with logins. Same username and password for both sites.
Let me know what to do, thanks!

bwilliams Hi

Thanks for contacting us!

I look at this site: https://1073cleveland.com/win/current-contests/item/2676-inkcarceration-2023-ticket-giveaway but don't see the Ad Agency remote module either, could you share screenshot?

I see some Ad Agency zone modules there in the sidebar position.

While on your second site: https://wqmx.com/contest/current-contest/item/13090-jason-aldean-btbo there is no sidebar position there, you should check the layout of this template on this site again.

Does the remote module have to be placed on the host site as well?
The documentation only describes adding it to the remote sites.
1073cleveland.com is the host site, wqmx.com is the remote site.

This is how the zone is set up on 1073cleveland (in the Base Outline layout):

Here is how it is set up on wqmx.com. Also using the sidebar-a position, (same as on 1073cleveland.com). Also in the Base Outline layout.

bwilliams If I understand correctly, you want the website: https://wqmx.com/ will display ads from 1073cleveland.com site, right?

bwilliams

saguaros
Correct.
But we also want to be able to post ads using the 1073cleveland.com manager that will only show up on wqmx.com.

Basically we want to use 1073cleveland.com as the main manager to decide where ads will go on multiple websites.
Our old service OpenX used to do this just fine, but is no longer supported.

Is there any way we can work through this a little more quickly?
We were hoping to have the new ad system in place by the end of the week.
We can't sell new ads until this is ready.

Thanks!

bwilliams Could you grant super admin permissions for provided account and share the ftp account so I can check?

bwilliams

saguaros
Just gave super user permission, I'll get back to you on the ftp once I get the info.
See what you can do with that for now.

HI,
I've added the fix to your site. Kindly check: https://wqmx.com/mornings
There are some changes:

1073cleveland.com: fix some issues on component
wqmx.com: add new remote module

For ftp stuff we manage the file directory through winSCP which works with the info given above.
Navigate to /var/www/vhosts/wakr.net/jeny1073.com/joom to access the files for https://1073cleveland.com/
Navigate to /var/www/vhosts/wakr.net/demo.wqmx.com for https://wqmx.com/

Let me know if you need anything else, thanks.

bwilliams

Thank you!
Now how would we set up a zone so that a new ad will only go to wqmx.com and not 1073cleveland.com?

Also, where can I download the new remote module? I'll need to add it to two other sites eventually.

Hi,
Those changes are from beta version that hasn't released yet. You can download new remote module (attachment below) and copy following files from 1073cleveland.com to other sites:

components\com_adagency\controllers\adagencyAds.php
components\com_adagency\includes\js\ad_remote.js

mod-ijoomla-adagency-remote.zip

Sorry, adagency does not support this feature.

Thanks for the help!

Sorry, adagency does not support this feature.

Hmmm that may be a problem.

Is there a way to have an ad post to multiple zones?
When I was using it earlier it looked like you could only select one zone per ad.

bwilliams

Sorry, adagency does not support this feature.

Unfortunately this feature is crucial for ad hosting on our group of websites.
We have decided to go with an alternate service for ad management.

Thank you for the help however.
