public $live_site = 'www.mysite.com';

Notice I think will still be here but due to an issue in Joomla Core

This is already there.

Can someone please help on this?
It's many days now that I am stuck with this problem and I can't really move on to decide whether a paid version is worth the effort/money.

The requirement is to automatically have the ads expired (on their predefined expiry date) without the need of a user to login (which is not working either!)

I tried re-installing, I tried everything I could from my side. It's only the authors that can solve this.

Thank you, however up to now there has been no response on this.

I don't understand the problem here.
If you want ad to expire without user connect there is two solutions

Set cron type to :
Linux Task: /usr/bin/php cli/adsmanager_cron.php (Use Only if you know Linux Cron Task)
WebCron: URL yourwebsite.com/index.php?option=com_adsmanager&task=cron (use only if you have webcron)

This two solutions will work
but you should not try to execute:
php /home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/components/com_adsmanager/cron.php

The problem is that I tried both ways but they failed.
Let see that again:

Solution 1 wecron:
In component administration I put the setting Cron Type= Webcron

I don't have webcron. All I did was to pull this URL from my remote browser:
www.mydomain.com/index.php?option=com_adsmanager&task=cron

The result was to see in my browser:

>>
Hourly Action
Done
>>


and then the browser returned this URL:

www.mydomain.com/index.php/en/?option=com_adsmanager&task=cron

Notice the /en/ (my site is multiligual. It this a problem?)

The ads were *not* deleted.

Solution 2 with Linux Cron Task:

I changed the setting of the component parameter to Cron Type = Linux Cron Task.

I then created the following task in Linux Cron:

When I run it I see this as the output of the above command:

>>><<<

The ads were *not* deleted.

Do you see the problem now?

Ideally the Linux Cront Task is what I am looking for to have since I don't use webcron.

Thank you.
