Trade Pulse Support / Re: PHP 5.3, Apache 2.2 and IonCube 5.3

« on: November 29, 2012, 04:40:29 PM »

I just wanted to check.  Are there any plans to release a Php 5.3 compatible version of TP soon (like within 90 days)?  I'm wanting to upgrade an old server and this is the only software I have which seems to have issues with php 5.3.  Thanks.

Trade Pulse Support / Re: Update

« on: September 09, 2012, 05:09:41 PM »

maybe try 'touch <name of file here>' then 'chmod 777 <name of file here>' and then retry it.  I don't think a release was released recently but it may be possible that you need to upgrade it since you just installed?  If the error persists check your setup and particularly your directory permissions (where you installed tradepulse)

You can also usually simply reinstall over the same directory and that might give you your access back.  I've done this before and never lost data but YMMV (your mileage may vary).

I'm not aware of any feature to auto block constant reloaders but you can often control the way their (bots) clicks count in settings->out.

I'm not official support.  Just a user trying to help.  Good luck!

Trade Pulse Feature Requests / Delete/disable trades after inactivity for X days

« on: July 01, 2012, 02:56:02 PM »

This would be a great feature I think for sites with many trades.  Some might like an automatic setting but even manual would be nice. 

For instance to be able to delete all trades where certain conditions are met like:

- No INs within 30 days
- Hits out > 0

If you have 400 trades then checking the history for the ones which appear inactive in the last 24 hours to see if they sent any hits recently can take half the day depending on how many there are.  And you end up putting it off because of that making the problem worse as time goes on.

Trade Pulse Support / Re: Toplist Codes - HIDE output if NO Trade

« on: June 24, 2012, 02:19:46 PM »

How can I hide output completely if there's no trades in my toplist? For example:

If I make a toplist that displays 25 thumb trades, but I only have 11, how can I hide the output from the other 14 spots so I'm not displaying broken images if I use a thumb toplist?

When I use a thumb toplist as long as I don't check the "Fill empty spots by 'Add your site here!' link" box it doesn't show any broken thumbs for the spots it doesn't fill.  So if I have 25 spots but only ten active trades, then it only shows 10 spots and no broken thumbs.  That's how it works for me now anyway unless I am missing something?

To hide all I bet you could also use a special php input (called from your page) which reads the normal tp toplist output file and only displays the active ones (and if none are active then it displays nothing).  You would include/virtual it instead of the normal TP toplist output.  Maybe another more hackish approach could just be to set up a cron call to regularly process the normal TP toplist output.  I would think that might work too in addition to the suggested Jquery approach?

php 5.3 is not standardized yet with many scripts etc., .... nothing wrong with 5.2 in any case 

I don't think security updates are taking place anymore for 5.2.x.  It's no longer officially supported by php.  So it could mean security issues later down the road.  It was also a pretty big hassle for me to install php 5.2.x on my new Debian Squeeze box.  I bet most people would give up.  Nubiles Tube Script didn't work with php 5.3 for the longest time but it looks like they fixed it finally so it does today.

Trade Pulse Feature Requests / Add trade effect in stats

« on: March 19, 2012, 12:15:45 PM »

Again just ideas, no pressure. I know things are busy.

Trade Effect (t. effect) = $trade_clicks / $Hits_out

It would be nice to see it in the stats and not have to manually calculate it in my head.

Trade Pulse Support / Re: 200-500% out shit traffic

« on: March 15, 2012, 08:37:31 AM »

It could be from a spider or bot getting sent to your trades from skim or even via the toplist. You might want to consider your settings in Settings -> Out including whether you are filtering toplist clicks.  There are tradeoffs to changing things but if you wanted you could actually fix it so Nocookie, Noimage, spider, Filtered, and Notcounted (Danger here especially if you are using the new version and have max clicks=5) never go to your trades and are never counted in your stats.  Not even from toplist clicks ("Do not filter clicks from toplist" in settings -> out).

From personal experience the problem in locking down these settings is that while you up the quality of what you are sending to your trades considerably it can still result in a loss since lots of scripts and configurations still reward for crap traffic.  There's a balance you have to find.  Be careful with what you change though.

Also there are bots out there which can avoid all known TP (and other scripts) automated detection methods.  I've seen them myself.  Even if you lock the TP Out settings as tight as possible these will get right by. The only way to catch them is to look manually in detailed stats for suspicious things (hint: check countries and languages).

Trade Pulse Support / Re: Skim% from spiders 0% in TP Version 1.0.9 build 44 ?

« on: March 07, 2012, 12:00:55 PM »

I've actually noticed this with version Version 1.0.8 build 43 too.  I have a special script which goes in front and handles the skim by passing along a "?p=100" or "?p=0" parameter to TP in order to give me more control.  Anyway It's supposed to ensure skim is 100% (to galleries) for nocookie and certain traffic.  But likewise I notice the stats also seemed to say each click was a trade click instead.

But I tested out the nocookie part and found indeed that the clicks were being sent to galleries.  It only looked like the stats were reporting they were going to trades but they really weren't from what I could tell.  The were actually going to galleries as I specified. YMMV.  Either way if this is the case it looks like a bug of some sort?

Hi mate, we removed p2 and p3 because on our latest tests(for longer period) we saw it negatively affected trading that we mix algo's. Anyway we can easily place it back in tp2(make it optional with custom algos).

Our new algo is no more public because we don't wanna people use our algo on other scripts.

Thanks, I think that would make the most sense.

I would prefer if possible you put p2 and p3 back in for TP2.  It just seems like a big loss of functionality to me.   You could always just make p2 + p3 zero by default and then if they select the Tradepulse2 algo it could be grayed out.  It seems strange to disable the whole functionality because it doesn't work with the new algorithm well. 

Even writing one algo in to use factors like you would with p2 and p3 isn't the same because p1, p2, and p3 used to work independently so it was like having three algorithms at once sending hits to the trades whereas merely writing it in to p1 only adjusts the weight (it is not entirely independent).  Granted it was subject to skew (hourly), especially on small sites, but it was possible to make an algorithm or other changes to address this and still make it useful.

I'm guessing it caused problems with how you changed the forces to work too in that it made it more complex?  If so, mathematically you would think that would be solvable as well without removing p2 and p3.

I know you guys are doing pretty good already with new features and getting TP 2.0 ready but I thought I'd suggest this.  It would be helpful to be able to see at a glance hourly and daily changes (up and down arrows) for various metrics as you can for the standalone stats.
