OpenAds in a CustomPal Problem

Big Kahuna · January 30th, 2013, 02:03 PM

I did this before and it worked -- but I didn't delete the custompals from the upgrade and overwrote.

I have this code in my custompal

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

(domain of the openads server masked)

This code works on every other site I've placed it -- but in the classifieds (Main Index - Mopar Style Free Classified Ads - bottom pay labeled Sponsors) I get a scrollable window with my error page in it.

What am I doing wrong?

That would depend on your site I suppose and whatever you are doing. The code is it suppose to say INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE in it. That seems a bit weird if you ask me.

There is nothing wrong with the source code I see and the url

Ask Wes for a MoparStyle Discount

This brings up long banner ads

Have you simply tried this?

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

There is nothing in our code that would cause your issue. It is almost like its some htaccess thing your doing on your site.

Nope -- that didn't work either

That code is OpenAds generated code. I don't think it is the .htaccess for MoparStyle.com as that exact same code is used as a widget on the WordPRess Portal, as a sideblock in Vbulletin, and as a first post advertisement in Vbulletin. OpenAds generated code is also behind the 728X90 banners in the forums and 500X62 banners on on the Word Press posts.

Prior to the conversion from 4.1 I was using code like that in a custompal for years.

I try playing around with it some more when I have a chance.

FOr kicks I tried a different zone and used Javascript instead of iFrame -- and while the results were different (I get a proper sized box with the proper title -- but no banner) the weren't good.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You can always turn off the enhanced vb headers footers to see if its an issue with vbulletin blocking something.

I am just saying there is nothing in our code that would do anything to interfere. I have viewed your page source the html looks valid as to why some iframe from some other site would not work I have no idea. what you are posting is being printed on screen.

So tell me what does the code look like in the database?

We're above my paygrade there -- I'm a drag racer that was never a great coder back in the 80s/90s -- and gave it up in the Foxbase days long before SQL. I don't play with the databases.

I'll figure this out when I have more time to dedicate to it.

well your iframe displays fine in your footer of the classifieds and the javascript your using on the sidebar that is easy to comment about look at the page source.

You have entered this as the html

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

However I would say that it is suppose to be entered as this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

You do not escape your quotes
