AdsManager - End of life

It is with great regrets that we have chosen to end the developpement of Adsmanager and its other associated components.

AdsManager is born 10 years ago and, as of today, the number of new subscriptions and downloads have fallen and we cannot maintain the component anymore.

All active subscribers will be able to continue enjoying support until the end of their subscription.

The components will be free and no support will be provided anymore for the other users.

After a spam/hacking attempt, all ads are gone!

After a spam/hacking attempt, all ads are gone! was created by acampbell
My client wrote to me this morning to say that all the classified ads had disappeared from their website. You can see the "All Ads" view at: humanealliance.org/about-us/classifieds/all_ads

When I logged into the back end, I found over 10,000 spam submissions. I deleted all the spam ads through phpMyAdmin, but now, no legitimate ads are showing in the front end or back end. I can see all the database entries for the real ads in the _adsmanager_ads table in phpMyAdmin, but there is nothing in the back end at Components > AdsManager > Ads.

I've attached a screenshot from the back end, and I can send you one from phpMyAdmin as well (I couldn't attach it here because I got the error message "Attachment file size exceed limit allowed by configuration"). I'm running the latest version, 3.1.5, and I reinstalled it just to be sure. Could you please tell me what I need to do to restore the ads?

Thanks very much -
Anne

Hello,

Is there the ads entry in the table adsmanager_adscat ? I think it might be the cause of that problem.

To avoid spam in the future, you can enable the captcha for AdsManager in the plugins manager.

Best regards.

Thank you for the tip. I manually edited the _adsmanager_adcat table to match up the ad IDs with the correct category IDs. This worked, but I was only dealing with about 14 ads - it would be very cumbersome to try to manually edit hundreds of ads if you had that many.

I've also enabled the captcha feature, which I hope will prevent this from happening again.

Thanks again -
Anne

Hello,

If you have a backup of your website, you can copy-paste the data from the table adsmanager_adscat from the old table to the new.

Best regards.
