Changelog (Joomla 1.5)

•  Fixed bug - newly created campaigns displaying "expired" message (in front-end) as soon as they were created (just for "Flat Rate - based on time, days or months" packages)

• Fixed bug when choosing "any size" on zone settings, it wasn't working properly on text ads displayed with remote module

• Fixed: Impressions miscount when ads were set to rotate

• Fixed: JavaScript bug that affected saving zones in the backend
  

• Fixed: blank page at install because of cURL support missing (we need for iJoomla Alert plugin). Added verification at install for cURL support.

• Set alternating backgrounds for packages
• Modified the copy on the "my campaigns" page
• Removed image preview and size for Standard banners when no image has been uploaded
  

Usability improvements based on the usability testing we did

• Changed “Your application is pending approval. Meanwhile you can add your banner/ads.” to: “Your advertising account application is pending approval. As soon as we approve your application, we will send you an email. In the meantime, you can still add banners and campaigns.”
• Removed the notice “You have no campaigns available for this banner type/size. Please add a new campaign here.”
• Removed the notice on campaign creation: “There are no banners available for this campaign. Banner/Ad requirements:..”
•  Placed “Add Banners” link on campaigns that have no banners.
• Instead of using the .button class for all the buttons, we added our own classes. The Cancel button is now in light gray and the Action button in orange so that the user can easily see what to do next.
• Changed “Select the ad type” to “Below you will find a list of the available ad types. Click on the one you’d like to add to continue”
• Made the “Home” button smaller and added a link to “Advertiser Dashboard.”
• Improved the layout of the registration/login page

• Added upgrade alert and news tabs built in

• Added default style to Joomla! basic classes used by Ad Agency, because some templates don't implement these basic classes
• Solved: "popup blocked" IE issue for Flash banners

• Payments and ordering enhancements:
  • Update campaign status immediately after payment through the notification (IPN) - this means once the payment is done, the payment server sends a notification to the site with all the information: product name, cost, currency, email of the customer.
  • The customer could forget to click the "return to merchant" link so we can update the campaign status, so in that case the campaign will remain unapproved, which is not good.
  • I deleted the order and the campaign if the customer decides to cancel the payment. No point in keeping data that isn't needed in the database.
  • Extra security checks. With the instant notification I've mentioned at point 1), I can be close to 100% certainty that it isn't a "hacked" payment: I can verify the ip of the payment server, as well as all information related to the product.
