Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.When I installed the Advertisement module, I followed all the directions. When I go to check the permissions in order to make the module visible, the checkboxes just aren't here. I've attached a screenshot.... I tried creating an Ad to see if it would fix it but it did not. If someone could help me out that would be great. All other modules I've ever installed have never had this issue.

pipe42 commentedI have this exact same problem.
Comment #2
breckenr commentedDitto. On a fresh intallation.

pipe42 commentedGuys, I banged my head against this issue for two days before looking at the HTML. The checkboxes are there with no problems.
I use Firefox 3.0.10 as my primary development browser.
So I tried it in two other browsers and the checkboxes appear no problem. Both Konqueror and Opera display the checkboxes for the advertisement module, allow you to change them, etc. So that's a possible workaround.
What I really want to know now is WHY the perfectly formed HTML doesn't display correctly in Firefox.

pipe42 commentedOK guys I've figured it out.
Adblocker was blocking the checkboxes because they have "id=advertisement".
Can you believe it? That simple.
FIX: Turn Firefox's Adblocker OFF for the site you are building.

groomedmonkey commentedThat's pretty annoying. I too have been going around in circles with this and didn't think to check in another browser - good work!
I guess a better solution for the dev team is to change the id name to something that isn't going to get flagged.

lucgallant commented!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it! Thanks very much everyone for your input. I thought at first no one was looking at this issue until I just checked and found all these responses. I've disabled Adblock for my site and the checkboxes are now present! I've changed the Category to Feature Request and lowered the Priority, as well as changed the status to "Needs Work". At least people will be able to find this now. Thanks a lot and finally, I can use this module!

pipe42 commentedThanks for all your positive comments, guys. I'd feel even happier if I hadn't spend two days staring the problem in the face before thinking to look at the HTML. :-)

jeremy commentedIf you're going to display advertisements, perhaps you should also disable your ad blocker so you can view them? I'm not interested in working around ad blockers with this module.
