Editing an advertisement (advertiser)


Advertisers have the ability to be able to come back to your site and edit the information relating to their advertisement. This alleviates the need for the Webmaster to be constantly updating URLs, e-mail addresses, etc.

The script client-edit.pl is used for this purpose. If called without any arguments, it will display a login screen that asks for the advertisers username and password. Once provided, the same script will output a form containing all of their current information, allowing the advertiser to update it as he/she sees fit. The advertiser can then submit this information back and commit it for inclusion in the next newsletter.

Note that the form that gets output allowing the advertiser to edit his/her information is a template and can be changed to include only those fields which you feel you'd like to allow the client to edit. The only fields that are not available for editing are those related to the current number of user registrations they have, their account balance, and their impression ratio. Be aware that due to the way that the template is processed, if an advertiser tries to leave any of the fields blank it is simply assumed that no edit is to take place for those fields.

Please refer to the templates section of the documentation for more information on the various templates used during this procedure.
