MyBB ads

[z4ks]

Hi, I recently saw a post on how to implement ads in MyBB but that plugin is no longer available. Does anyone know any other plugins? Or a way to implement the ads? Thanks.

Anyway, I don't want to remove MyBB, it's already up and running smoothly, and I have potential users.

I found this mod for mybb - MyBB - Mods - Ads after first post (for MyBB 1.4.x)

Ads after first post (for MyBB 1.4.x)

Thanks, I searched all over for that (even on the mods site) and I couldn't find it. Anyway, it’s working now.

if you require any assistance with editing of files, please feel free to reply here and I can try my best to help you with that.

Since I set up my site (about 3 weeks ago) I implemented the ads, and it worked correctly. Now this has nothing to do with the MyBB. On my Joomla installation, ads were good. The day before the ads stopped appearing. I thought this was just temporary ad problems, but after a day, I doubt it's that. I also checked out other Profuse sites (like J blog) and found the ads (or sponsor) sections empty. I had not changed anything, it just happened. I'm confused.

Also, the footer ads remained intact, it is just the 160x600 (vertical) ads that are blank. Some websites have the ads though. (Like "free arcade games")

Sorry for triple posting but my forum ads aren't working either, and all settings are intact. Some other sites have their ads. See here. As you can see I made about7 posts to demonstrate that the ads aren't working. And you can clearly see the footer ads. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a problem? Thanks a lot.

[John]

I just visited the site and ads are working fine. We were having few problems with the ads server over the past few days but everything is working fine now. Please check your forum again and let me know if you are still unable to see the ads.

[z4ks]

Thanks a lot. Everything is working fine now. I'll let you know if I have any more problems. Oh, and I set up a small blog yesterday, here. Can you tell me if you're OK with the position of the footer ads?

[John]

yes the position of both the ad code and footer code is perfect. I actually like the way you implemented it nicely in your layout. great work.

Someone hacked my site. The person is from Turkey. I can't get into Joomla backend. How did he hack it! I have superior passwords! I will STOP using Joomla! I have access to cPanel, thank god.

[z4ks]

Is there any way to get back admin rights? The stupid person removed them. Any Joomla masters? Please help. Thanks.

[z4ks]

I regained control through my uber-brilliance. I went to phpMyadmin and changed the checksums. I have banned everyone from Turkey. Thanks.

[John]

I changed the file permission for configuration.php to 644. Please never use 777 for configuration files or any files that contain your password.

1. Make sure you have a proper anti virus program on your computer
2. Make sure you don't leave any config files on server with 777 permission. It is important to secure all files because hackers look for files with 777 permission.
3. If you want, you can start fresh by requesting a cancellation and applying again.

If you know the ip address of the hacker, please PM me the info.

[z4ks]

If I try to change Joomla configuration I get the error:

An Error has occurred! Unable to open configuration.php file to write!

Or should I only CHMOD to 777 if I want to modify changes? Then back to 644?

And what may my computer have with it. After searching the hacker's name (who was stupid enough to leave it) (Slytherin from Turkey) I realized he has hacked lots of Joomla sites, including Joomla.org itself.

Oh and everything's back to normal. I changed some database stuff and it worked, thanks to having two accounts, I had a non-hacked one where I copied the password crypt thing into the admin one and changed the username and that was it. And Awstats has visits from lots of countries, but not Turkey (maybe he/she/it was using a proxy?)

Thanks.

[John]

For Joomla, please use 777 when you need to make changes. After you have made proper changes, please change the permission back to 644.

Hey I'm not sure if this thread is the right place, but I want to change my domain name to something cooler. Do I just change the name in the registrar? Or do I need more work? Thanks.

[John]

If you wish to change your domain, you will need to submit a ticket. please refer the following topic - http://www.profusehost.net/forum/acc...main-name.html (How can I modify my domain name?)

[z4ks]

Oh. I thought I had to do something different since I have a different registrar, unlike the default. Ticket Submitted.
