ad 6.x-2.2-rc1

The 6.x-2.2 version of the ad module includes a complete rewrite of the Ad Report module, and replaces the Ad Notify module with a completely new Ad Actions module. The Ad Report module now uses Google's Charts API to create more attractive and more flexible reports. The Ad Actions module provides numerous triggers and actions allowing you to build highly customizable notifications and much more.

Be sure to disable the ad_report and ad_notify modules before you upgrade to this latest Ad module release.

New features:

• #558618: Channel Report- No Image: display image when generating administrative reports. NOTICE: The ad_report module is now dependent on the chart module available at http://drupal.org/project/chart -- this means that all charts are now built using Google's Charts API. This update adds a new database index which can take a very long time to run if you have a large ad_statistics table, locking the table and possibly preventing ads from being properly displayed while the update is running.
• #547474: Global notifications not sending.: new ad_actions module, defines numerous ad triggers and advanced actions. This module replaces the ad_notify module.
• #543084: Clarify reporting a bit: display more details when running reports
• #565550: The option to set activate & expire dates with a jquery calendar popup: use jquery calendar popup for autoactivate and autoexpire dates if the date_api and date_popup modules are enabled.
• #548232: Track changes: expose activity log, showing when changes are made to ad
• #411666: Ad items added to channels not displayed at all if "specific URLs" is used: check path rules against Drupal path and alias
• #545212: Add <none> to channel filter on the ad list page: allow filtering by channel on main ad listing
• #547578: Be able to set the non-channel ads percentage to 0: allow the non-channel ads percentage to be set to 0
