i thought this was a problem with 1.8 so i switched to 2-dev but no luck.
FieldException: Attempt to create an instance of a field field_simpleads_groups that doesn't exist or is currently inactive. in field_create_instance() (line 474 of C:\xampp\htdocs\byblogdivalabs\modules\field\field.crud.inc)
my first few attempts were with 1.8 and i thought it was a problem with it clashing with CLASSIFIED ADS. i cleaned the DB from both modules, deleted them and then installed DEV of SimpleAds and no go.
i see "field_field_simpleads_groups
" in the FIELD_CONFIG table; which is a taxonomy term reference. in the FIELD_CONFIG_INSTANCE table, i see name_field
and description_field
for the taxonomy term.
the only FIELD_DATA and FIELD_REVISION tables am seeing for SimpleAds are for groups. all the other simpleads tables (blocks, clicks, impressions, stats) are there.
am on Drupal 7.22 running this on a local XAMPP dev environment.

duntuk CreditAttribution: duntuk commentedYeah, I couldn't get 2.x-dev to work either, even with a clean install. Considering 1.x-dev is 1 month newer than 2.x-dev, let's assume 1.x is the way to go for now.

duwease CreditAttribution: duwease commentedSame issue.. tried 1.8 first, then uninstalled that, cleared cache, and installed 2.x. Both times got the error:
FieldException: Attempt to create an instance of a field field_simpleads_groups that doesn't exist or is currently inactive. in field_create_instance() (line 476 of /srv/www/sitename.com/htdocs/modules/field/field.crud.inc).

duwease CreditAttribution: duwease commentedI should note that I tried just SimpleAds (no Campaign), then SimpleAds + Campaigns (both in 1.8). I tried SimpleAds only in 2.x.

duwease CreditAttribution: duwease commentedAlso just tried uninstalling, deleting simplead fields from field_config and field_config_instance tables, running cron, clearing cache, then re-installing (2.x-dev), and same thing happened.
Drupal and core modules are vers. 7.31.
