wpAdMentor 1.0 is released
wpAdMentor September 5th. 2007, 12:37pmPuh,
it has NOT been easy, I can tell you. But finally I have decided to release my banner management (and rotation) plugin for Wordpress. Basically it gives you the possibility to manage which ads to show on your Wordpress blog. Clicks logging and stats are handled by the plugin, as well as the actual management (adding/updateing banner campaigns etc).
Moreover it gives you the possibility to target your ads, meaning you can choose to show a certain banner only for pages (posts) within the “Foobar” category of your blog. An example: People reading a post in the, say “Games” category, are more likely to be interested in your “Buy games” banner than the “Buy bananas” banner - which you instead setup to show on your “Fruits” category. That’s the basic idea.
Please see the screenshots and info from these posts as well

Now go grab the zip file at the PHP download page
Unzip and install like any plugin!

Excellent, excellent work. I had this installed and rotating text links ads and banners within 30 minutes.
Simply the best ad plug in I’ve seen yet. Congratulations

I have updated my WP to 2.3, then I got problems. It works some how, but in the “Campaigns” page i got those errors:
WordPress database error: [Table ’stertsc_6horatio.wp_categories’ doesn’t exist]
select * from wp_categories order by cat_name
… and I can’t edit categories in old campaigns and new ones. Old campaigns do still work in the right directory. What must i do, to have the cats back in admentor

Hi, I love this plugin but I have a bit of a problem. I am able to show an individual ad using the individual ad code, but when using the ad position code, the ads don’t show up. Any idea on why that might be?

Sadly, but it doesn’t work correct with categories in WP 2.3
WordPress database error: [Table 'pappa_1318_1.wp_categories' doesn't exist]
select * from wp_categories order by cat_name
how it can be fixed?

@Juri Hass: I Had the same problem.
The thing is that in the good old Wordpress, the table in the database was: ‘wp_categories’, and the colums had the name ‘cat_ID’ and ‘cat_name’.
In (my) new version of Wordpress, the table is named ‘wp_terms’(!) and the columns have the names ‘term_id’ and ‘name’.
I went in the file wpadmentor.php and change all refferecses to the new names.
I can’t tell you to do the same if you don’t have a clue about php, but that was the solution.
If you want to do that, you will need: an FTP program, and an text editor.
Maby the author will change the file, and it will be functional…

Hi…
The plugin is great…I’ve tried many similar plugins…but this one works perfect for me…
I have the same problem like Juri Hass (i’m using WP 2.3)-
WordPress database error: [Table ’stertsc_6horatio.wp_categories’ doesn’t exist]select * from wp_categories order by cat_name
and there aren’t categories for selection but since I do not need these feature, the plugin is working good.
