Hi. Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I was running drupal 6.19 and using advertisment 6.22 and everything was fine , banners showing where and when they should have been. I only have 5 banner ads all in default ie have not set any groups or channels or stuff, just five banners rotating ,
After upgrading the drupal core , and cck and taxonomy access control and wysiwyg modules, the site is fine but ads are not showing.
This is the source of the browser for the ad script -

</div>
346</div> <!-- /block -->
347 </div>
348 <div id="content">
349 <div class="content-top"><div id="block-ad-0" class="block ">
350
351
352 <div class="content">
353<div class="advertisement group-tids-0" id="group-id-0">
354 <script type="text/javascript">
355//<![CDATA[
356 $(document).ready(function(){ jQuery("div#group-id-0").load("http://www.ulyssesmelb.com/sites/all/modules/ad/serve.php?m=jquery&q=1&t=0&u=node&l=home"); });
357 //]]>
358 </script>
359</div>
360</div>
361</div>
362</div>

and this is the debug as per the ad documentation -

It's an access issue. See here from your debug output:

  adserve_cache_id: SELECT a.aid FROM {ads} a LEFT JOIN {term_node} n ON
  a.aid = n.nid WHERE a.adstatus = 'active' AND n.tid IS NULL
  adserve_cache_id: Ad '276' failed access check.
  adserve_cache_id: Ad '277' failed access check.
  adserve_cache_id: Ad '278' failed access check.
  adserve_cache_id: Ad '368' failed access check.
  adserve_cache_id: Ad '449' failed access check.
  Total ads: '0'.

The ad module code that generates this message:

      if (node_access('view', $node) !== FALSE) {
        $ids[$ad->aid] = $ad->aid;
      }
      else {
        _debug_echo("adserve_cache_id: Ad '$ad->aid' failed access check.");
      }

So it's failing the node_access('view') check.

Thanks Jeremy for your input. I figured that part and have been all over the permissions checking them out , keeping in mind it worked fine under 6.19 . Apart from cck which has content permissions , but I dont think is related to ad module ?? the only node access I have set up is with Taxonomy access controll ( TAC ). The default is set for view access there but TAC has a default category of its own which I thought might be clashing so I set up the banners in a group and gave access to them in TAC but still it failed the node access and no ads displayed.

I guess the only thing left to do is turn off modules one by one untill I find the culprit. I cant figure though why the super user would not be seeing the ads. That makes no sence to me. No 1 user can see the ads in raw mode , though no one alse can see the raw version but why would super user not see the jquerry version . Strange to me.
Also , I cant figure out why advertisement module is the only thing not working after upgrade.
Got no idea what to try really.

One thing concerning is the ad-weight probability table is showing up in the scheme module as an extra ie Tables in the database that are not present in the schema.

Well , just to follow up on this now that I have it working again. The culprit was indeed TAC. It worked before because previous version of TAC had a bug that allowed unclassified items to be viewed under certain conditions. The latest version of TAC fixed that , and thus hid my ads.
I had the default global setting for TAC set at deny so viewers could not see any content that was unclassified. In other words , all content on my site had to have a associated taxonomy term or it would not display. ( this was set up way back in 4.7 days )

The ads now show after setting the global TAC to view. phew.
