User Cookie

Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2005 11:00 am

Noticing my banner in my footer disappears when I log in as a user. Logging in/out as Admin doesn't change it.

This is very annoying as clearly banners are for users, not just me as admin.

Here goes:

Admin: Preferences: Banners: OFF (so it doesn't appear at header).

Custom include module footer_banner.php (near-copy of banners.php):

Code:

function footer_banner() {


   global $prefix, $db, $admin, $sitename, $adminmail, $nukeurl;


   if (paid()) {


      return;


   }


   $numrows = $db->sql_numrows($db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."_banner WHERE type='0' AND active='1'"));





   /* Get a random banner if exist any. */


   /* More efficient random stuff, thanks to Cristian Arroyo from http://www.planetalinux.com.ar */





   if ($numrows>1) {


      $numrows = $numrows-1;


      mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000);


      $bannum = mt_rand(0, $numrows);


   } else {


      $bannum = 0;


   }


    $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT bid, imageurl, clickurl, alttext FROM " . $prefix . "_banner WHERE type='0' AND active='1' LIMIT $bannum,1"));


    $bid = intval($row['bid']);


   $imageurl = $row[imageurl];


   $clickurl = $row[clickurl];


   $alttext = $row[alttext];


   if (!is_admin($admin)) {


      $db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_banner SET impmade=impmade+1 WHERE bid='$bid'");


   }


   if($numrows>0) {


   $row2 = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT cid, imptotal, impmade, clicks, date FROM " . $prefix . "_banner WHERE bid='$bid'"));


   $cid = intval($row2['cid']);


   $imptotal = intval($row2['imptotal']);


   $impmade = intval($row2['impmade']);


   $clicks = intval($row2['clicks']);


   $date = $row2['date'];





      /* Check if this impression is the last one and print the banner */





      if (($imptotal <= $impmade) AND ($imptotal != 0)) {


         $db->sql_query("UPDATE ".$prefix."_banner SET active='0' WHERE bid='$bid'");


       $row3 = $db->sql_fetchrow($db->sql_query("SELECT name, contact, email FROM " . $prefix . "_bannerclient WHERE cid='$cid'"));


         $c_name = $row3[name];


         $c_contact = $row3[contact];


         $c_email = $row3[email];


         if ($c_email != "") {


            $from = "$sitename <$adminmail>";


            $to = "$c_contact <$c_email>";


            $message = ""._HELLO." $c_contact:\n\n";


            $message .= ""._THISISAUTOMATED."\n\n";


            $message .= ""._THERESULTS."\n\n";


            $message .= ""._TOTALIMPRESSIONS." $imptotal\n";


            $message .= ""._CLICKSRECEIVED." $clicks\n";


            $message .= ""._IMAGEURL." $imageurl\n";


            $message .= ""._CLICKURL." $clickurl\n";


            $message .= ""._ALTERNATETEXT." $alttext\n\n";


            $message .= ""._HOPEYOULIKED."\n\n";


            $message .= ""._THANKSUPPORT."\n\n";


            $message .= "- $sitename "._TEAM."\n";


            $message .= "$nukeurl";


            $subject = "$sitename: "._BANNERSFINNISHED."";


            mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());


         }


      }


      return ("<center><a href=\"banners.php?op=click&amp;bid=$bid\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"$imageurl\" border=\"0\" width=\"460\" height=\"55\" alt='$alttext' title='$alttext'></a></center>");


   }


}

I then edited theme.php for the footer section:

Code:

function themefooter() {


    global $user, $index, $foot1, $foot2, $foot3, $copyright, $totaltime;


    include ("includes/footer_banner.php");


    if ($index == 1) {


   $tmpl_file = "themes/3516/center_right.html";


   $thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));


   $thefile = addslashes($thefile);


   $thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";


   eval($thefile);


   print $r_file;


   blocks(right);


    }


    $banner_disp = footer_banner();


    $footer_message = "$foot1<br>$foot2<br>$foot3<br>$copyright<br>$totaltime";


    $tmpl_file = "themes/3516/footer.html";


    $thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));


    $thefile = addslashes($thefile);


    $thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";


    eval($thefile);


    print $r_file;


}

And finally, my footer.html (where you'll see it's using the $banner_disp...

Code:

</td></tr></table></td><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><img src="themes/3516/images/pixel.gif" width=10 height=1 border=0 alt="">


</td></tr><tr valign="top">


<td><div><img src="themes/3516/images/line2.jpg" height="7" width="10" border="0" alt=""></div></td>

So problem is when I delete the user cookie, I see the banner! When I then login as a user it's gone! (so is one at header if I had Admin: Prefs: Banners as Yes).

I'm at a loss as user by user there is no show banners attrib, right?

So the cookie would not even have a banner show as 1 or 0 or anything in it.

Note: Banner is for this site (Raven's) so plrease get it to work!!!

Ah...nmind... go it!

In my haste to re-create the include, I forgot to remove

Code:

if (paid()) { return; }

Now, exactly what is this paid() function? I see it in mainfile.php and it was probably tripping a return 0 on if is_user($user)... but how is it intended to be used?

if (paid) belongs to the onboard single subscription facility in nuke. The if paid function is used to check the users subscription status and if it returns a 1, then banners ads are prevented from showing.
I would have liked to have pointed you to the appropriate file(s) but I removed all trace of it on my site due to having custom subscription software installed.

Yeah, but wow am I glad I removed it...seems that when paid() is fired, mainfile.php (where it lies) will always return true (for my site at least).

Hence it's moot if I have allow banners Y or N.

Thanks though!
