About adding ads to groups in the ad module

I recommend you review this issue. Perhaps you're suffering from the same problem as was resolved there? In particular, see #28 of that issue.

Hello, I have the same issue. Thank you for pointing to #28 of the previous issue, however, when I go to add the Advertisement content type to the Ad groups category, it is not there. Please see screen grab attached. Advertisement is available for other categories, e.g. Free Tags.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Can you attach a screenshot of "Administer >> Content management >> Categories"? Also, are you using the core taxonomy module?

Yes, I'm using the core Taxonomy module.

I took the screen grab, and noticed there were no types, so I added Page to Ad Groups, and voila! The category list had Advertisement, Page. I then removed Page, and Advertisement remained. I was then able to add my Ads to the Groups I had previously set up. Success!

The category page for Ad groups, however, continues to look like my earlier screen grab, where there is no Advertisement type, just the 'ad groups' type.

Thank you for your work on this valuable module! I hope this info helps.

Can you describe the upgrade process you followed to get here? I'm a little confused as to how this happened, but obviously you're not the only one that has run into this bug. I'm glad you've resolved the issue on your website, and thanks for helping to further track this down.

I'm pretty new to Drupal, so I may have flailed around a bit... but I went to Home >> Administer >> Site building >> Modules, un-Enabled the Ad modules that were active, went to the Uninstall tab and uninstalled the modules I just un-Enabled (not all Ad modules were listed, just the active ones; I assume this is correct, because I imagine enabled mods get a listing in a system table somewhere). I then went to /sites/all/modules and zapped the ad folder. Next I downloaded a fresh copy and unpacked it in /sites/all/modules, went back to Home >> Administer >> Site building >> Modules and enabled the Ad mods I wanted. (Ad, File Cache, Image Ad, Report, Weight Percentage)

TIA, HTH

I also had this problem. As I'm testing a new site, I used the Devel module to generate a bunch of content which included some Ads and ad groups. However, things never seemed to work right and especially the ad_weight_percent.module was consistently timing out or hitting max memory in function ad_weight_percent_settings. I spent a few hours comparing what the code was doing to running the queries manually but never could find out what the problem was so I decided to uninstall everything.

Uninstalling also gave a number of page timeouts. The query logs showed it recursively deleting the same ad node (I only had one) and it failed to drop tables twice. Eventually I got it to remove them but then I noticed it hadn't dropped a few ad tables as they are not listed in the ad_uninstall function of ad.install so I dropped them manually.

I have since enabled the modules one at a time, testing each one as I go. This is the first problem I've found, but I did what cburch did in #5 and got exactly the same result. The only thing is I think it used to say "Type Advertisement is required to use this vocabulary." but now it says "Type ad group is required to use this vocabulary."

Marking this as a bug, as clearly there's something going wrong in this area of the code.

Duplicate.
