Notes on
the new versions:
Changes from
Unlimited Version 8.0. To
Unlimited Version 8.1
Now Supports Stored Procedures
with Microsoft SQL
Random text can be generated in
any Code Type Ad by simply
inserting a special tag into
your code.
<-random->
is the tag.
New "Banners" screen allows you
to view all banners in the
system at once as well as sort
through them and also search
banners by their name
Some old code cleaned up and
optimized in the admin area.
Image PopUp Selection screen
when editing a banner now
previews banners without needing
to click on view.
Database Connection String is no
longer encrypted in the "aspbanner_unlimited_config.asp"
file. It really didn't need to
be because the file is a ".asp"
file. Also, some people tried to
edit the file manually and the
encryption just caused a lot of
issues. The app is better off
without it and this now makes it
possible to edit that config
file directly when the
permissions on the folder are
not correct.
Other minor things here &
