Problem with WSA

Um, where are the images? Someone told me there would be images.

The images subdirectory is not included within the download.

    Second problem. When I uploaded the files, I was logged in as a secondary site admin account. Now, the WSA is tuned into that user’s blog, not blog #1, as well as their user account. I do not see anything being saved within the database in the sitemeta table so I can’t clear the data. Is this kept somewhere else?

    Well in Ozh’s plugin, there’s a subdirectory labeled images with image files within it.

    When I install it into mu, I’ve got a bunch of little broken images symbols that are pointing to a subdirectory under mu-plugins labeled images.

    And there are no images in the zipped download.

    Guess I can go swip them from Ozh’s plugin.

    I have all 3 files in the /wp-content/mu-plugins directory I go in to my admin backend look under the site admin tab and nothing is there, I look under all the other tabs and it’s not under any of them either. I am running version 1.3.3 and have plugin commander installed if that makes any difference

    You may be hitting the issue that I hit as well. If you were logged in as any other admin users besides the main one and on any other blog, that’s where the menu showed up. Luckily I saw that on a test bed. Never did figure it out how to fix the issue nor where the data was kept with the db. (Data showed up once I created a rule but nothing before hand. It was rather weird.)

    That’s a shut down plugin over on the wpmudev site. I’d shut down the site for everybody but admins and then install the plugin. It didn’t work on the testbed (it kept going back to the admin who I was logged in as and the non-main blog) but it did work fine on client sites while logged in as main admin and on blog 1.

    How do you shut the blog down to all users on an existing blog?

    There’s a shut down plugin over at wpmudev.org that will do this. Be sure to choose the setting that allows admins to be logged on. I would log out though before installing the WSA plugin.

    Ok, i’ve deleted the files over and over, I’ve logged out as admin and any other account, the blog isn’t that active so I can’t see that there is much of a possibility that every single time since 3am this morning I have attempted to copy these files into the mu-plugins directory and then login as admin that someone else was hitting at the same exact time. Unless I’m thinking wrong about the process and I’ve missed something I’m supposed to do other than just upload the files and login……also since there isn’t an add share feature built in I’m thinking that with all the competition out there maybe simply using something like adsene deluxe or something might be a better way to go. I’m not ready to start offering paid access yet, don’t know enough about everything to really be effective at it I don’t think, what is it that people are willing to pay to get that I can offer they can’t get for free some place else and how much do you charge if you do?

    I’m still having difficulty with this.

    I log in under my admin account. It automatically shows me the back end of my main blog (id 1, my main front site, at the url http://mydomain.

    I click on “Site Admin” and see nothing new.

    I click “Blogs” and select the “Backend” of any other blog in the list (other than my main site). Now when I click “Site Admin” I see “Who Sees Ads” as an option.

    Is this working correctly? Seems wildly wrong to me. Are the options I select valid for that blog or for all blogs?

    Ok seems that it was there the whole time probably if I followed the way Mystara put into words, I guess my brain couldn’t wrap around the logic of how that was working sorry….perhaps for future users a better description of how to access it may be helpful?

    Have you uploaded /s et the my_options file?

    Not sure what you mean by “/s et” but the my_options file is within the mu-plugins subdirectory.

    I can swip the images out of Ozh’s original plugin. Just be nice not to have to do that.

    It’s weird though that they don’t show up on blog #1 though. I don’t see anything in the quick scan I gave the code last night looking for such a check either.

    So where’s Andrew going on vacation? First I’ve heard about it.

    The #1 thing is a deliberate hack just to stop it running on the frontpage

    I understand that but for us it’s showing up on every blog except for blog #1. Where’s the hack? I still don’t see it.

    And we all have to get away sometime

    Agreed. My trust fund allows me to go away for a week every year but I’ve yet to do it. When Angie was around, it never worked out either as we have to plan at least three months ahead (which was why I never could go to wordcamp as I couldn’t get a date/location out of them that far ahead.) and she doesn’t fly.

    Maybe I’ll do something this year before the bellringing. I kind of missed doing it this year. Actually had people come up to me wondering why I wasn’t doing it. Including the store manager of where I usually get stuck in front of wondering why he kept getting drunks.
