Maffo Banner Module

[MADKing]

Hi,

hope I get some help from someone.
I bought this fu...ng module from maffo and do not get any support for that. He even does not response any of my messages.

I do not get this module running.

In the readme he says

NOTE. If Maffo_Banners does not appear in the Parent Category Drop Down you need to upgrade your administration/category.php to the
latest version.

But which latest version is he meaning??

I do have the latest version 3.18.
I do not see the category I should see:

How to use Maffo_banner
-----------------------

1. Setting up a category: In your admin panel click on 'Edit Categories'. 'Maffo_Banners' should be in there as one of
you parent categories.

Nothing.

Anyone who knows if this module is working with version 3.18?

Thnx

I have it running on an earlier version and am putting it onto my v3.1.8 site tonight. I found it worked easily, but you have to follow the instructions exactly to make sure everything is done in the right order.

[MADKing]

I did it twice and will do it one more time.
May I missed some.

[MADKing]

Same thing on the third module modifying.

[MADKing]

Works now.
I installed all new again and now it is working fine.
Don't know where the error was.

Thnx

Anyone please help.

I can not upload any banner to this module.
Do I have to chmod folders?

Keep in mind that smarty compiles its templates so if you make a change and it doesnt seem to work it could be that smarty didnt automatically recompile the templates. From withing 68c admin under maintenance you can clear the cache forcing them to be recompiled or you can simply delete the contents of the /templates_c folder to acomplish the same thing.

As for using the module itself, I cant offer any help since I dont have and never used the module myself.

It works fine on my local XAMPP sytem because all is chmod 777 automatically.
Online doesn't work that damn thing.

What errors are in your error log? It's very difficult to troubleshoot something like this without consulting your logs.

[MADKing]

OK. Got it.

Maffo had to write in the instruction that the folders
modules/maffo_banners/images/default
and
modules/maffo_banners/images/default_resized

must be CHMOD 777.
