For quick screenshots, have a look at http://community.elgg.org/discussion/view/1530770/elgg-ads-or-banners-plugin-for-elgg

A few things,

• appearently this needs openx to be installed on a server, but since openx isn't 'open' anymore the project went further under Revive Adserver. Does this works under Revive, or do we need to install an old copy of Openx when it was still 'open'?
• I just looked roughly in you code and I noticed that all js, gfx and css files are just in the root of the mod dir, and the css files are no views, so not really extendable.
  The JS files could maybe be ordered more nicely in the vendors directory maybe, and the CSS files could be ordered more nicely in the view dir as a view so that we could extend them perhaps?
• I also noticed that the plugin makes a physical table in the database, is this really needed? From what I'm learning from the pas few months, I never ever had to add an extra table to store info in.
  From what I can see in the sql file you have in the dir, it only stores id's, payment statusses, amounts and a date. I would think this is exactly where an object is made for inside Elgg?

Anyway, it's not to give criticism, I love the fact that you gave this to the community, but I just an opinion and some questions. I could be completely wrong ;)

Hi there,

Great plugin @Tom . 

I'm testing now ..

Thanks !

@Tom, 

This is normal?

• Table created: elgg_user_payment_details

• Site Admin, Check that all Elgg Advertisement system fields are filled properly, please configure gutwa plugin correctly in your admin tools or setting for Openx and ELgg Ads system to work smoothly

 Youll find openx in your Cpannel/softulus/openx

where i found "This is the openx API v2 xmlrpc gutwa location"?

also blank page http://www.mysite.com/gutwa/ad

i see you got round to it then thanks tom : )

Thanks for all of your responses. At the moment I have a very busy schedule; to be precise, I have two major exams coming up in three to four days from now and I have to cover a lot of materials or chapters and not to mention a lot of engineering calculations and formulae. I hope a few days from now I will update and address most of your concerns.

I wish I could have free time to address your entire requests.

Meanwhile, if you have any issue feel free to write your comment and hope to tackle most of your comments in a few days from today.


Thanks.

I installed this promising plugin. It gives the message that I should conigure it "in your admin tools OR Openx and ELgg ads". I choose to do it with my admin tools but where do I do it? I see no plugin configuration option for this plugin?

wonder, there is a possibility to use another payment method, not PayPal?

I can not install OpenX on my host.

I just finished most of my exams and hope to update this plugin by tomorrow. I wish i can do it now but the time here is late and i need to catch some sleep so that my brain can work normally. Wish you all the best and see you tomorrow for updates.

Thanks.

I'm testing the plugin and connect with openx from elgg gives me this error:
