Expiration dates not working
First let me explain that my cron job runs every night for
GAB
and I also ran it separately after I saw that this did not work and it still did not fix the problem.
Problem #1. I have a bunch of banners ($GAB_ads[0]) that were set to expire on 02-28-2006. and non of them stopped rotating. They are still showing up in the banners when they were set to expire. Problem #2. I have another issue. As you can see from the list below. I have my $GAB_ads[1] set up so that when one banner expires the next month starts. Well is you look at mist list below Tin Man should have expired on 02-28-2006 and he did. But instead of Model T showing up next like he was suppose to Astrogirl is showing up. banner start/expire Tin Man 02-01-2006/02-28-2006 Model T 03-01-2006/03-31-2006 Fiddlehead 04-01-2006/04-30-2006 Billville 05-01-2006/05-31-2006 Sparky2000 06-01-2006/06-30-2006 Peter Pan 07-01-2006/07-31-2006 Smee 08-01-2006/08-31-2006 Model T 09-01-2006/09-30-2006 Pickles 10-01-2006/10-30-2006 Tudor 11-01-2006/11-30-2006 Astrogirl 12-01-2006/12-31-2006 What can I do to fix this problem? |

I found out by reading the RC3 release that the cron job was not working with RC2.
I am still using RC2. I fixed some of the problems by uploading the new cron job out of the RC3 release. But it seems that the cron job does not understand future start dates. It expired all the ads I had set for a 28 February expiration date. But it did not activate ads I had set to start on 01 March. |

Have you looked into fixing the problem of it not activating new banners when the cron jobs runs yet? I would have to wait unitl next month adn post the same problem again.
