Profile Promotions

[Phil Blackstock]

When i try to make a new shop item for profile promotion, the drop down box for promotion template is empty and the promotion doesn't work.  Is there a way to fix this?  Where are the promotion templates?  Or what do i need to get/make these?

The Promotion templates are created in the SE admin "Ad Campaigns".

Each "promotion template" defines the placement of the ad, duration of the campaign and targeted users.

After creating "promotion template" it can be assigned to specific shop item.

For example,

1. Create template "PROMOTION TEMPLATE for page top, 30 days"
2. Create new points promotion shop entry ""Advertise your profile for 30 days" and assign it to the template created in #1

thanks josh.

i understand what to do now once the template is made, but i am still unclear as to how to make the template to begin with.  I looked under ad campaign and there is no option whatsoever to make a template.  I tried to make a blank ad and SE will not allow it.  Can you explain this in a little more detail please?  I cant find it in any documentation sent with my download.

 I appreciate your help.

PROMOTION TEMPLATE for page top, 30 days
