Internet Marketing with a Helmet.

Sometimes, little things bug me. I’ve been running a bunch of PPV traffic lately and for awhile now, I’ve noticed that Prosper202 doesn’t have icons for DirectCPV or LeadImpact. This is most noticeable in the Overview and the Spy view where traffic from both of these networks gets stamped with the question mark icon. When you just see a question mark, you need to hover over it with your mouse to figure out what traffic source it is. And that sucks.

Fixing this was pretty easy. I just created 2 icons in Photoshop and then added a couple of lines of code.

To apply this fix, download prosper202-ppv-icons-fix.zip

Put the two .gif files into your /202-img/icons/ppc/ directory.

Put the functions-tracking202.php file into your /202-config/ directory (and overwrite the file).

For the paranoid among you, you can make the code changes yourself:
(Note: the new code sits between the //trafficvance and //unknown comments).

	//traffic vance
	if ((preg_match("/trafficvance/i", $ppc_network_name)) or (preg_match("/traffic vance/i", $ppc_network_name))) {
		$ppc_network_icon = 'trafficvance.ico';
	}
 
    	//directcpv  *** ctrtard added 3/10/2010
    	if ((preg_match("/directcpv/i", $ppc_network_name)) or (preg_match("/direct cpv/i", $ppc_network_name))) {
	        $ppc_network_icon = 'directcpv.gif';
    	}
 
	    //leadimpact *** ctrtard added 3/10/2010
    	if ((preg_match("/leadimpact/i", $ppc_network_name)) or (preg_match("/lead impact/i", $ppc_network_name))) {
	        $ppc_network_icon = 'leadimpact.gif';
   	 }
 
	//unknown
	if (!isset($ppc_network_icon)) {
		$ppc_network_icon = 'unknown.gif';
	}

You can see how sweet my DirectCPV icon looks in action

Phew… now I feel better.

NOTE: This fix is for the current version of Prosper202 1.3.2, I’ll be updating this as needed when the next release comes out.
