Optimum Banner
Exchange Manual
v1.1 Admin Menu
Manage Users
Here you can manage all the
users who have signed up at the banner exchange.
You can click on each user in this list to view detailed information
on each user.
Detailed
information shows the following stats:
Username
Password
Total credit
Earn credit
lose credit
Status
"Earn
Credit" is how many credits a user earns each time their banner
is shown.
"Lose Credit" is how many credits a user loses every time
their banner is shown (to avoid confusion, you should leave this set
to 1).
You
can also suspend the user via the admin menu as well.
Manage Banner
Here you can view all banners that have been added by users into the
banner exchange.
You can see the Banner #, the User # the banner belongs to, an image
of the banner, the number of times the banner has been displayed,
the day the banner was submitted, and the banner status.
You
can also edit any of the banner info in this menu.
Manage Transactions
This shows all the banner impressions that have been purchased by
your users. In most cases the banner credits are added automatically.
You will be emailed by the system each time a user purchases banner
impressions.
Client Settings
There are a number of things you can edit here.
Here you can set the price & number of banner impressions available
for each package.
Setting gold_price to "9" and gold_credit to "100000"
would give the user 100,000 banner impressions for $9.00. The
paypal buttons are automatically setup.
You can also set the url of your banner exchange here. Be sure
to add a '/' to the end of your URL.

also change your paypal email address that payments are sent to.
Send email
When sending an email
you will see the following fields:
Email From:
Email subject:
Email type:
Email body:
The two things that need clarification here is the "Email From"
and the "Email Type" parts:
Email From:
You must change this when you send out an email, the default input
here is:
"Service" <service@myhost.com>
You should change it, if your name is bob and your email address is
bob@billy.com then you would enter the following:
"Bob" <bob@billy.com>
Email Type:
If you are sending an HTML email then select HTML. If you are
just typing your email in plain text be sure to select text.
If you select HTML and there are no line breaks (ie: <BR>) then
everything you type will be on the same line. Only select HTML
if you are entering HTML code here.
Logout
This function of course simply
logs you off the admin menu.
