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.

approval_payment: If set to no, credits will be automatically added when user
buys credits, if set to yes, you will have to approve each transaction before
credits are added.
Start Earn can be set to anything you want, it should be a number below 1.
Start Lose should be set to '1' to avoid any confusion.
bonuscredit - This value will be added to each new user's credits. If
you want to offer free credits for signing up add the ammount here.
Admin Settings
Here you can change your admin login & password. You can 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.
