Advertisers - New Ads
The option to create a new ad is available in advertisers area in the top menu. It offers simple wizard. When users click to the link "New ad", they receive a page which is based on the template advertiser_ad_wizard_1.html. This template shows two fields - Title and Ad type. Ad type field is a select box. It offers only those ad types which contain at least one zone which is allowed to be used by advertisers. This template contains the following variables:

#%site_url%# | URL of your site.
#%info%# | If the user filled in the form and sent it out but the system rejected this ad, this variable displays an error message.
#%title%# | If the user filled in the form and sent it out but the system rejected this ad, this variable displays the entered ad title.
#%select_ad_type%# | Select box containing all available ad types.

Once an ad has been created, the system can optionally inform admin by using the email template admin_advertiser_ad_created.txt. Then it shows another step of the wizard. This step uses the template advertiser_ad_wizard_2.html. This template contains the following variables:

#%site_url%# | URL of your site.
#%info%# | If the user filled in the form and sent it out but the system rejected this ad, this variable displays an error message.
#%ad_preview%# | Preview of the selected ad type.
#%n%# | Ad number.
#%ad_type%# | Name of the selected ad type.
#%edit_fields%# | Fields to edit ad variables like banner, URL, texts. These fields are created by using the templates advertiser_ad_edit_banner.txt (complete form to create a classic banner ad type), advertiser_ad_edit_one_field.txt, advertiser_ad_edit_one_field_upload.txt. The system automatically creates the ad form depending on the selected ad type, it's not recommended to edit these templates.

The next step is configuration of a campaign. The ad owner can choose a zone or keywords and also can completely configure one campaign for the new ad. The template is advertiser_ad_wizard_3.html, it offers the following variables:

#%site_url%# | URL of your site.
#%info%# | If the user filled in the form and sent it out but the system rejected this ad, this variable displays an error message.
#%ad_preview%# | Preview of the new ad.
#%n%# | Ad number.
#%campaign_1%# | A form to configure campaign #1. This form is based on the template advertiser_campaign_edit.txt (first part of this template).
#%zones_info%# | A list of available zones and prices for each of them. Each line in this table uses the template advertiser_ad_edit_zones_line.txt.

The next step is the option to choose if the advertiser wants to pay for clicks, impressions or days. You can configure these prices in the zones edit forms in administration. You also can choose that advertisers can pay for any of these options (clicks, impressions or days) or only for some of them. If you choose only some of them, the other options are not available in this form. Users can also choose if they want to pay directly for this order (simple payment) or if they want to use funds purchased earlier by using packages. More info about the payment system is available here.
This step uses the template advertiser_ad_wizard_4.html, it offers the following variables:

#%site_url%# | URL of your site.
#%info%# | If the user filled in the form and sent it out but the system rejected this ad, this variable displays an error message.
#%ad_preview%# | Preview of the new ad.
#%n%# | Ad number.
#%campaign_1%# | A form to configure campaign #1. This form is based on the template advertiser_campaign_edit.txt (second part of this template).

If they selected to pay directly for this order, it shows an order summary (template advertiser_order_simple_review.html) and then links to payment pages (template advertiser_order_payment_page.html). You can define possible payment methods in Configuration. More info here.

If they selected to use funds purchased earlier, the ordered impressions, clicks and days are instantly added to the first campaign and the system shows a confirmation and a page which uses the template advertiser_ad_edit.html.
