phpadsnew cookie problem

[sarahk]

I have a file called maxforum.php (max was an old name for phpAdsNew)

<?php
function getMaxZone($zone, $center=true)
{
	$active = true;
	$output = '';
	if ($active)
	{
		$sectionName = 'forum';
		if ($center == 1) $output .= "<center>";
		require_once('/var/users/sitename/htdocs/administrator/max/phpadsnew.inc.php');
		if (!isset($phpAds_context)) $phpAds_context = array();
		$phpAds_raw = view_raw ('zone:'.$zone, 0, '_blank', $sectionName, '0', $phpAds_context);
	   
		$output .= $phpAds_raw['html'];
		if ($center == 1) $output .= "</center>";
		
	}//active check, to make it easier to disable.
	return $output;
}
?>

Then in phpinclude_start

ob_start();
include '/var/users/sitename/htdocs/includes/maxforum.php';

$billboard = getMaxZone(1);
$footer_left = getMaxZone(12, false);
$footer_right = getMaxZone(13, false);
$max_left_1 = getMaxZone(8);
$max_left_2 = getMaxZone(9);
$max_left_3 = getMaxZone(10);
$max_left_4 = getMaxZone(11);
$max_left_5 = getMaxZone(14);
ob_end_clean();

and I can just place those ads where they are needed.

Now this seems to be the easiest thing in the world - until a user tries to log out and then it can't clear the cookies! I need to resolve that one.

Try removing your code to see if the problem goes away.

Oh! my post got removed into it's own thread. It was meant to build on the other but just give the proviso about the cookies. I posted that problem here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=148878

I know that the code is causing the problem because if I remove the code it does go away. But if I remove the code I don't have my ads either...

So I need to find the solution where users can log off and the forum can have it's ads.

You should contact the author of your banner code. We cannot support custom code when it causes problems like this.

Thanks Jake

I wasn't asking for support of the custom code, just the integration.

If anyone else finds this thread the solution is at http://forum.phpadsnew.com/index.php?showtopic=8281
