iJoomla Ad Agency – Upcoming Features – Part I

As promised, we’ve started working on another round of changes for iJoomla Ad Agency, based mostly on your suggestions on our forum. This video summarizes the features we’ve added so far. The harder features to add like Geo Targeting and subscriptions are next on our list, so stay tuned to part II.


Zones:

  • Add a duplicate button to copy a zone easily
  • Added an apply button on the zone edit page
  • Now allowing you to show ads based on keywords
  • Now you can set a default ad for a zone, in case there are no ads available
  • Rotating banners now work on more than one zone at a time

Email Templates:

  • Drop down of all email templates instead of a long list of templates
  • Variables of each template are on top
  • Accept/Decline links, that allow you to accept decline advertisers/ads/campaigns by clicking on the email
  • More variables for each email, such as advertiser name, phone number, etc.
  • Preview link for banner email

Auto Approvals:

  • New tabs for auto approvals,
  • Choose to auto-approve advertisers/ads/campaigns

Campaigns:

  • Preview of ads that you can include in this campaign

Registration:

  • A new screen before registration to allow existing users to login first
  • Better control of which fields to show on the front-end, and which should be mandatory
  • Captcha refresh button
  • Registration wizard to allow advertisers to add ads/campaigns right after the registration (not done yet)

Ads Manager:

  • Re-Order ads
  • Search by ID

Packages:

  • Allow to hide a free package after it has been used by the advertiser

Adding ads on front-end

  • Replaced adding ads links with one buttons
  • A nice visual with icons and descriptions of the different ad types
  • Ad Code is now called “Affiliate”

I hope you like these new changes! We will post more information in part II.

    How will the registration handle components like Jomsocial or Community Builder?

    Sounds very interesting, well done.

    My biggest question is JomSocial integration. With a social networking site it will be important to allow users to create facebook style ads and target them to user fields, and to allow users to promote either their external site or their JomSocial group.

    There is already another component which I believe is launching middle of this month which integrates in this way with JomSocial, but if iJoomla Ad Agency offered it then it would truly make the decision an easy one.

    Are there any plans for JomSocial integration?

    Kind regards

    I am looking forward to this because I purchased AdAgency several months ago and have not been able to use it. I run CB and it was causing all kinds of conflicts with members who were already registered. I had pretty much given up on using it–a huge disappointment. I’m hoping this fix comes soon and will correct the problems.

    I’m particularly happy about being able to rotate ads in more than one zone at a time. Do you have an idea when this feature will be available? Overall sounds great.

    Just a question. As I have different adds for different languages (with jomfish), I wonder if there is any compatibility between both packages…

      Not at this time, but maybe in the future.
