1.3.1

basic_ads 1.3.1

Bug-fix release:
- Fix route \d+ constraint keyed on a non-existent 'node' parameter
  (basic_ads.click, basic_ads.stats_detail); non-numeric IDs now 404.
- Remove default bullet/indent list styling from the placement block.

1.3.0

basic_ads 1.3.0

Schedule fields are now date-only and existing data is migrated.

Behavior changes
- field_ad_start_date and field_ad_end_date use datetime_type: date.
  The form widget renders Month/Day/Year dropdowns; no Hour/Minute/AM-PM.
  Stored values are 'YYYY-MM-DD' strings.
- View query, cron, and the block's eligibility check now compare against
  a date-only `now`, giving "valid all day on the end_date" semantics.

Update hooks
- 8004 migrates legacy string-typed schedule field storage to datetime
  via direct config-storage editing. No-op on fresh installs.
- 8005 flips datetime_type from datetime to date, truncates stored
  values to their date prefix (DESTRUCTIVE on the time portion only),
  and rewrites the form-display widget settings.

Migration notes
- Sites that arrived via a simpleads migration: 8004 will fix the
  string-typed storage that 1.2.0's widgets and filters couldn't handle.
- All sites: 8005 truncates 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS' rows to 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
  The date portion is preserved; time-of-day is discarded. Back up
  before running if you depended on time-of-day precision.

See CHANGELOG.md for the full notes.

1.2.0

basic_ads 1.2.0

A bigger release than 1.1.x patch tags: new branch (1.2.x), architectural
overhaul, new features, and a public-API break.

Bug fixes
- Date filtering now works for both `datetime` and legacy `string` field
  storage via hook_views_query_alter(); the old datetime-on-string filters
  silently excluded any ad with a real date.
- The duplicate Views block from the basic_ads_advertisements view's
  block_1 display is hidden via hook_block_alter().

New features
- Block has a new "Number of ads to display" setting (1-50, default 1).
- Weighted random rotation (Efraimidis-Spirakis). Lower field_ad_weight =
  higher priority; each 10 units halves/doubles the relative odds.
  Selection is seeded by the current 60-second time bucket so all viewers
  in a window see the same set (cacheable) and a fresh selection rotates
  in the next minute.
- Placed blocks auto-label as "Basic Ad: {placement name}".
- Friendlier date widgets: datetime_datelist (MDY, 12-hour, 15-minute
  increments).
- field_ad_weight is bounded to (-50, 50).

Architecture / refactoring (BREAKING)
- All procedural hooks moved from basic_ads.module into
  Drupal\basic_ads\Hook\BasicAdsHooks via #[Hook] attributes; the .module
  file is deleted.
- New basic_ads.ad_tracker service owns impression/click recording,
  count/CTR aggregation, and old-data pruning. The previous
  basic_ads_*() global helpers (basic_ads_track_impression,
  basic_ads_track_click, basic_ads_get_*, _basic_ads_anonymize_ip,
  basic_ads_is_user_excluded) are gone. External callers must migrate
  to \Drupal::service('basic_ads.ad_tracker') or the
  Drupal\basic_ads\Service\AdTracker alias.
- Logger DI throughout via LoggerChannelFactoryInterface; exception
  handlers in AdvertisementBlock now log warnings instead of swallowing
  errors.
- Library renamed basic_ads/ad_tracking -> basic_ads/basic_ads, with new
  css/basic-ads.css component CSS.

Update hooks
- 8001 reloads the basic_ads_advertisements view config from the install
  template. Sites that customised the View should export their config
  first; this overwrites it.
- 8002 sets min: -50 / max: 50 on field_ad_weight and refreshes the
  description.
- 8003 switches the date form-display widgets to datetime_datelist.

Migration notes
- Existing placed blocks default to count = 1 (previous view behaviour
  was 5). Bump the new setting on /admin/structure/block as needed.
- field_ad_weight = 0 for everyone by default = uniform random; set
  negative weights on priority ads.
- If migrating from another bundle, stale node-access grants may hide
  ads from anon visitors; resolve with node_access_rebuild().

See CHANGELOG.md for the full notes.

1.1.5

Basic Ads 1.1.5

- Fix "Cannot redirect to an empty URL" crash on /ad/click/{nid} when an
  ad's link field resolves to an empty URL (e.g. route:<nolink>). The
  controller now logs a warning and returns 404 instead of 500, and
  skips click tracking for ads with a broken destination.
- Null-check loaded node in the click controller.
- README rewritten in drupal.org contrib style.
