CVS edit link for alex_andrascu
HelloMy name is Alex Andrascu from Visual Candy . I am working with Drupal from 1 year ago. My first website (10 months ago) required an advertisiment system so i've instaled the Advertisment module for Drupal. I was very pleased about it with one exception. The ad_flash module for displaying Flash (swf) ads didn't seem to work. I posted issues on the issue queue but without luck. After receiving so many mails asking me if i found a solution to that problem finally i decided to make my own implementation of ad_flash. I even posted a patch for it under http://drupal.org/node/485818 but i'm pretty sure this will not commit because the mainter of this module haven't been arround for awhile. Please consider that Advertising module is one of the requirements for many sites and that a flash submodule still doesn't exists as a suported and maintained module. Apart for this minor implementation i have implemented a couple of other modules and i would like to share them. That beeing said i hope you'll give me a positive go on this.
P.S.: Please advise on how to approach the ad_flash module.
(1. As a new module given that for my implementation the module now has dependencies )
(2. As a new version of the old module. I would better like that if it's legally possible. )
Thank you kindly
Alex

chriscohen commentedHello, I'm the current maintainer of the ad_flash module and Alex has done some good work on the patch he mentions. It is true that I, currently the only maintainer of the module, am not around very much, so it would be extremely useful to have Alex as another maintainer.

INSTALLATION
Due to the need for some extra elements to get this module working, and some of
these elements not falling under the relevant licences, it is not possible to
include them for download within this module.
• Visit http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html
• Scroll down to ‘Requirements’ and download the sample archive.
• Create a subdirectory inside the ad_flash directory, called ‘scripts’.
• Extract AC_ActiveX.js and AC_RunActiveContent.js into this directory. The
paths to these files should be ad_flash/scripts/AC_ActiveX.js and
ad_flash/scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js.
Because of licence issues, flash video (FLV) content is not supported at the
moment.

avpaderno@alex_andrascu: For that module, you can only apply as co-maintainer of the existing one.
