For those of us who would want to sell the advertising space on our Drupal sites, it would be better if the permissions to the ad owner / creator prevented them from accessing the scheduling / expiry settings so that these could be set by the administrator.

Better yet, tying this module in with either the pay-per-node and/or ecommerce modules may provide scope for automatically setting the scheduling / expiry.

Just realised that the manage advertisements permission does what I described above. Also, the module works fine alongside pay-per-node!

PS - I'll check next time before I open my big mouth.

Perhaps -beta2 still contains some permissions bugs, these have been fixed in my code base which I've not had time to check in. But essentially, if you have "administer advertisements" permissions, you can schedule ads. If you have "manage advertisements", then you don't have any scheduling permissions unless you are granted the per-ad "manage status" permission, and even then you can only enable or disable the ad -- you can't move it in/out of a pending or blocked state.

Does this address your concerns?

Integration with e-commerce is planned. I've not had time to work on the module in the past week or two, but hope to find time again soon.
