Advertising Manager Update:
A lot of popular WordPress plugins have not been properly updated for several years now, and contain deprecated code. While the plugin may seem "fine" when its activated in wp-admin, deprecated code often means that it's not functioning properly. This tends to only be noticed when you enable debug mode in the wp-config.php file.
Advertising Manager gives the following error when activated:
Code:
Notice: has_cap was called with an argument that is deprecated since version 2.0! Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated. Use roles and capabilities instead. in X:\...\wp-includes\functions.php on line 2722

These refers to permissions based on user levels (old, wrong) vs permissions based on capabilities (new, correct).
Furthermore, in WordPres 3.4.x, the Advertising Manager drop-down dialog is missing the HTML editor. This does not generate any specific debugging error code, but is obvious to end-users familiar with a properly functioning Advertising Manager plugin.

... or you can make the edits yourself.
PART 1 -- To correct the non-functional editor:
At line 40 of \lib\Advman\Template\WP2.7\Editor.php begins control of the editor dropdown menu:
Code:
?> var advman_tb = document.getElementById('ed_toolbar');
if (advman_tb) {
advman_tb.insertBefore(advman_select, document.getElementById('ed_spell'));
/* Below is a Kludge for IE, which causes it to re-read the state of onChange etc. set above. Tut tut tut */
if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer') {
advman_tb.innerHTML = advman_tb.innerHTML;
}
}
It needs to be changed to:
Code:
?>
toolTimer = setInterval(awaitToolbar,500);
function awaitToolbar()
{
var advman_tb = document.getElementById('ed_toolbar');
if (advman_tb) {
clearInterval(toolTimer);
advman_tb.appendChild(advman_select);
if (navigator.appName == 'Microsoft Internet Explorer') {
advman_tb.innerHTML = advman_tb.innerHTML;
}
}
}
And then it will appear:

PART 2 -- To correct the deprecated WP 2.x code:
Lines 15-23 of \lib\Advman\Admin.php refer to user level 8 in multiple places:
Code:
add_object_page(__('Ads', 'advman'), __('Ads', 'advman'), 8, 'advman-manage', array('Advman_Admin','process'));
add_submenu_page('advman-manage', __('Edit Ads', 'advman'), __('Edit', 'advman'), 8, 'advman-manage', array('Advman_Admin','process'));
add_submenu_page('advman-manage', __('Create New Ad', 'advman'), __('Create New', 'advman'), 8, 'advman-create', array('Advman_Admin','create'));
add_options_page(__('Ads', 'advman'), __('Ads', 'advman'), 8, 'advman-settings', array('Advman_Admin','settings'));
} else {
add_menu_page(__('Ads', 'advman'), __('Ads', 'advman'), 8, 'advman-manage', array('Advman_Admin','process'));
add_submenu_page('advman-manage', __('Edit Ads', 'advman'), __('Edit', 'advman'), 8, 'advman-manage', array('Advman_Admin','process'));
add_submenu_page('advman-manage', __('Create New Ad', 'advman'), __('Create New', 'advman'), 8, 'advman-create', array('Advman_Admin','create'));
add_options_page(__('Ads', 'advman'), __('Ads', 'advman'), 8, 'advman-settings', array('Advman_Admin','settings'));
These need to be changed to reflect an admin capability, like activate_plugins():
Code:
add_object_page(__('Ads', 'advman'), __('Ads', 'advman'), 'activate_plugins', 'advman-manage', array('Advman_Admin','process'));
add_submenu_page('advman-manage', __('Edit Ads', 'advman'), __('Edit', 'advman'), 'activate_plugins', 'advman-manage', array('Advman_Admin','process'));
add_submenu_page('advman-manage', __('Create New Ad', 'advman'), __('Create New', 'advman'), 'activate_plugins', 'advman-create', array('Advman_Admin','create'));
add_options_page(__('Ads', 'advman'), __('Ads', 'advman'), 'activate_plugins', 'advman-settings', array('Advman_Admin','settings'));
} else {
add_menu_page(__('Ads', 'advman'), __('Ads', 'advman'), 'activate_plugins', 'advman-manage', array('Advman_Admin','process'));
add_submenu_page('advman-manage', __('Edit Ads', 'advman'), __('Edit', 'advman'), 'activate_plugins', 'advman-manage', array('Advman_Admin','process'));
add_submenu_page('advman-manage', __('Create New Ad', 'advman'), __('Create New', 'advman'), 'activate_plugins', 'advman-create', array('Advman_Admin','create'));
add_options_page(__('Ads', 'advman'), __('Ads', 'advman'), 'activate_plugins', 'advman-settings', array('Advman_Admin','settings'));
And that's it.
