[crockett]

can someone that uses TM3 hit me up on ICQ 87395092.. need a little help getting mine set up..

[wargames]

tm3 could set it up for you for free just ask them.

[MuleScrote]

What are you trying to do?


You could try reaching Tyrex @ 118352259

[crockett]

well the script is installed, but I'm assumeing I have to insert code in each thumb spot... for the script to work on my page... I'm just not sure what I need to insert... and the TM3 guys are allways afk on ICQ... Im just trying to get it done now.. while I have the time

[MuleScrote]

Are you trying to set up skimming then?

[crockett]

yea, I'm trying to get it all set up so I can start takeing on trades...

[MuleScrote]

At the top of the page, there is a help link. It will pop a window that will open an index that will guide through everything.

[crockett]

yea I've looked at that and I'm looking at it now... but I really see nowhere that tells me what to add and where...

I mean I see all this

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST CLICK TO GALLERY
If you would like to send a surfer with his first click always to gallery, simply add f=1 to your outgoing link. Few examples:
/cgi-bin/tm3/l?u=http://www.gallery.com/content.html&f=1
/cgi-bin/tm3/l?g=groupname&f=1
/cgi-bin/tm3/l?f=1&u=http://www.gallery.com/content.html



I'm using browine as the TGP script but when the code I have to insert in my HTML looks like this for browine....


brownie thumb="1" list="day1">

that would be for my 1st spot on the current day ... well how can I add anything to that? Because I never know what the gallery link will be because it changes everyday...

[MuleScrote]

I'm not familiar with brownie...but I use AutoGallery SQL and my template looks like this:

/cgi-bin/tm3/l?u=#%THUMB_1%#&f=1
/cgi-bin/tm3/l?u=#%THUMB_2%#&f=1
/cgi-bin/tm3/l?u=#%THUMB_3%#&f=1
/cgi-bin/tm3/l?u=#%THUMB_4%#&f=1
/cgi-bin/tm3/l?u=#%THUMB_5%#&f=1
/cgi-bin/tm3/l?u=#%THUMB_6%#&f=1

etc...

You just put the script variable where the url needs to be and use the tm3 html in your template.

bump....

I'm having a little trouble figureing out how to set up my trade manger without messing up my browine code ... for example when using browine for thumb preview...the code is like this

brownie thumb="1" list="day1">
brownie thumb="2" list="day1">
brownie thumb="3" list="day1">

and so on... but when I look at the help file for TM3, it tells me I have to add more code to the outgoing link... but I have no outgoing link being browine dose that for me, and it changes everyday.

can anyone give me an example on how to set this up? I'm like the worlds worst person with code..lol

but when I asked the TM3 guys I was told I would need something like this....

a herf=/cgi-bin/tm3/i?u=%%%browinecode_f or_url_number_1%%%>

but how can I do that, won't is mess up my browine code?

[XxXotic]

i dont use brownie so i dont know, but is there a template area in the admin for text links and/or thumbs?

example, in my admin area i need to tell the script what to actually display on the page so on the page where I want my thumbs to display i'll have %thumbnail~1% and in my admin area i have to actually tell the script what to display at that thumbs spot

< a href="/cgi-bin/tm3/l?c=thumbs&p=65&f=1&u=%LINKURL%"><img src="%THUMBURL%" alt="%LINKNUMPICS% %PICSORMOVIES% . %LINKDESCRIPTION%" width="%THUMBWIDTH%" height="%THUMBHEIGHT%" border="2"></a><br>%LINKNUMPICS% %PICSORMOVIES%

obviously substitute the %scriptcommand% function with whatever brownie needs to display the info

[Snake Doctor]

In brownie go to "line output", main list.
Type in your trade script variables there and brownie will put it on every gallery link for you.


{edit}
I can't put here what it looks like, because the html won't show up on this page properly.
But basically instead of having your line output read a href={url} have it be a href="/cgi-bin/tm3/l?u={url}

Plus whatever other variables you want to put in the link

ahhh ok that makes sense, I remember seeing the line output spot in browine

thanks, I belive that will do it

[crockett]

so it would be like this the the thumb preview

a href="/cgi-bin/tm3/l?u={url}">img src={srcshort} border="0" width="88" height="88">/a>br>

ofcourse with the other >>>>'s that won't show up here

[crockett]

bump ^^^

anyone? this is what I've come up with, ofcourse the extra >'s are supose to be reversed

>a href="="/cgi-bin/tm3/l?p=75&u={url}">>img src={thumbsrc} border="0" width="88" height="88">>/a>>br>


the typical Browine output line would be this

>a href="{url}">>img src={srcshort} border="0" width="88" height="88">>/a>>br>

so I added in the TM3 info, but at that setting it should send 75% of the clicks on through to the galleries and 25% to trades if I read the help file correctly...

now I don't have any trades set up other than the orginal Google trade that the script is set up with from the start... well I can sit there and click my links all day and they never go to google, is there something else I have to do?

[MuleScrote]

whats the url?

[crockett]

well the site url where the trades will go is http://www.thesexpod.com/tgp.htm


but I only have perm link rotating gallerys and a few test submits.. so you will see a lot of red X's

You don't do p=75 in TM3. (Maybe you can, but I never have)
Read the help docs in TM3, you set up groups, and you set the skim percentage when you set up your groups. Then when you link through TM3 it looks like href="/cgi-bin/tm3/l?g=GROUP_NAME&c=CATEGORY_NAME&u=BROWNIE_SHIT

The c= is optional, but its good to set up categories and track them so you know what your visitors are clicking on the most.

The upside to this is that noone will know what your skim % is except you. Also, if you want to change your skim % you only have to log into TM3 and change one thing, not change every link on your page.

[crockett]

well I havn't changed anything with ther script sense it was installed... I got the p=75 from the TM3 help file

this is what I was going on

(/cgi-bin/tm3/l?p=75&u=http://www.google.com). This link leads 75% clicks to http://www.google.com (add gallery URL instead) and 25% clicks to the trades

Yes you do, and it works great. I never set up groups in TM3 though because I was running a niche TGP.

[crockett]

well mule can you see what I'm doing wrong? with this being the native browine code:

>a href="{url}">>img src={thumbsrc} border="0" width="88" height="88">>/a>>br>


and this being the code edited for TM3 using the % style set up



>a href="/cgi-bin/tm3/l?p=75&u={url}">>img src={thumbsrc} border="0" width="88" height="88">>/a>>br>
