10 If you're still unable to find the information you need, you can submit a new
|
pierre@0
|
11 issue by following the above link. When doing so, it is important that you
|
pierre@0
|
12 offer details on how to duplicate the bug that you are experiencing. If you
|
pierre@0
|
13 are unable to get ads to appear, be sure to explain what method you are using
|
pierre@0
|
14 to try and display ads: blocks, views, ad_embed, etc...
|
pierre@0
|

|
pierre@0
|
16 In the event that ads are not displaying, it is helpful if you collect the
|
pierre@0
|
17 following debug information and inculde it in your bug report. Using your
|
sly@2
|
18 web browser, view the html source of the page on which you expect
|
sly@2
|
19 advertisements to show up. Search for the string "serve.php", then copy and
|
sly@2
|
20 paste that entire URL directly into your web browser. It will look something
|
pierre@0
|
21 like:
|
pierre@0
|
22 http://sample.com/modules/ad/serve.php?q=1&t=23
|
pierre@0
|
23
|
pierre@0
|
24 Load that URL and see if there are any indications as to why ads are not
|
pierre@0
|
25 displaying. If not, add "&debug=2" at the end of the URL:
|
pierre@0
|
26 http://sample.com/modules/ad/serve.php?q=1&t=23&debug=2
|
pierre@0
|
27
|
pierre@0
|
28 (NOTE: you will need to convert "&" to "&" in the url when you cut and
|
pierre@0
|
29 paste it from your html source. If you do not do this conversion, most of
|
pierre@0
|
30 the URL will be ignored resulting in invalid output.)
|
pierre@0
|
31
|
pierre@0
|
32 You can then submit the resulting debug output in your bug report.

36 It is also very helpful to provide detailed instructions on how to duplicate
