phpads/openx is fucking me, any alternatives?
 

I've been using this software for ages, really.

However now since a few upgrades ago problems are accumulating to the point where i can no longer add banners or work as a n administrator.

Any fixes you know of (google didn;t help much), or alternative banner display packages?

This.

I started using MSA about a month ago after dealing with openx nightmares, couldn't be happier.

reverse to the stable version

I did, ads still work but i cannot get access to upgrade/install or admin access anymore. All - exisiting files and paths - turn up 404 now.

I installed a clean - newest - version locally but i'd hate to loose all campaigns and ads from the old phpads database.

I might have to look at the other programs, reason i upgraded in the first place was because of several things not working anymore, like Administrator access to name one that's pretty essential;-).

Always do a DB backup when you upgrade anything.

Smart spots (from http://www.smart-scripts.com )

How about the openX hosted version?
https://adserver.openx.org/index.php

that was expensive when i last checked

Indeed. It's free till a certain number of adviews, depends on the size of the site you need to put it on

Its delightful to see such a thread that isn't INFESTED with GRATUITOUS REF Links...

smart spots from Smarts-scripts.com is great and lite

smart spots didn't had the rotating option (to assign multiple banners to a single spot for rotation...) when I last used it...
this clippersoft looks like a childs play compared to smart spots or openx... I doubt it's good on high traffic sites...

OpenX is great...
I use the hosted version...
I think it's free for up to 50mil imps per month...
If you need more than that - you should have no problem paying for it..

It's managed service and runs smoothly...


any questions about this - icq in sig
