    w-sky reacted to carsten in Getting rid of cookies at all   
    Hi,
    we are considering to change to Revive AdServer due to GDPR issues here in germany.
    We are loosing user range with our banners, because of the cookie consent banner.
    Revive seems perfect to our needs and i am really happy with the performance and usability of this adserver,
    but the do or die question is how to use it without any cookie, even the OAID cookie.

    As i understand it, this cookie isn't needed by the core and is only used for counting returning visitors.
    So ist there any possibility to really deactivating it?

    We are totally aware about what a cookie free configuration could cause to the quality of data, but getting rid of the cookie consent banner  is worth it.

    w-sky reacted to fadev in The OAID cookie, GDPR and cookie policy   
    We are currently working on becoming compliant with GDPR and the Cookie Law.
    I understand that enabling "compliance mode" in v4.0.4+ updates OAID to use a static (rather than dynamic) value, preventing any way of uniquely identifying the visitor and resolving GDPR tracking / privacy issues.
    The Cookie Law however requires all non-essential cookies to be disabled until consent has been given, as well as a description of what each cookie does in the cookie policy.
    This page explains that OAID was introduced for an old defunct feature and no longer has any use but then goes on to say that OAID is needed to detect if the browser supports cookies (without any reason why).
     
    This means:
    1) We cannot display ads on our site until after the user has consented because of OAID and the Cookie Law
    2) We cannot find a clear reason to justify OAID in our cookies policy
     
    So the questions here are:
    Why does Revive Adserver need to know if the browser supports cookies,
    and what's the potential for say a "cookie law compliance mode" in the future.
     
    I can see someone else had this issue as well:

    @fadev
    Did you find a way to do this? We are in the exact same situation and are looking for a solution.

    Has this been resolved by now? Or is there a workaround? I have the same problem.

    w-sky reacted to jamieburchell in Wrong from address in automatic email   
    Please can I request that the Revive team take another look at this, as it's still an issue today.
    I already took the step to force an envelope sender address:
    php_value[sendmail_path] = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i [email protected]
    But if you see, it's the other from address that is getting set/mangled by Revive:
    To: "Administrator" <team@xxx>
    Subject: Impending campaign expiration: XXX
    X-PHP-Originating-Script: 1005:Email.php
    ...
    From: "n" <[email protected]>
    X-Original-Authentication-Results: mx.google.com;       dkim=pass
     [email protected] header.s=krs header.b="b/nn6hqL";       spf=pass
     (google.com: domain of [email protected] designates XXX as
     permitted sender) [email protected]
     
    Line in maillog:
    Sep 12 00:05:03 x postfix/cleanup[1549]: 9F27F4696CC: prepend: header From: "n" <n> from local; from=<[email protected]>: X-Mailgun-Native-Send: true
    In my Revive config:
    [ email ] (without spaces)
    logOutgoing=1
    headers=
    qmailPatch=
    fromName="Admin"
    fromAddress="[email protected]"
    fromCompany="My Company"
    useManagerDetails=
    Further, all of my Advertisers have email addresses and names configured.
    I think there's at least one potential issue in the Email.php file:
    https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver/blob/master/lib/OA/Email.php#L53
    What happens if $aConf['email']['useManagerDetails'] is false? $aFromDetails does not get defined but is used further down.
    TIA

    w-sky reacted to Erik Geurts in Why can I link zones at campaigns and banners?   
    If you link a campaign to a zone, all the banners in that campaign that have the same dimensions as the zone will automatically be linked to the zone. If you add a new banner of those same dimensions to the campaign later, it will automatically be linked to the zone as well. As such, linking campaigns to zones is the most efficient, and I would recommend always doing that. No need to link the banners too.
    However, sometimes you do not want each banner in that campaign linked to a zone, just one or a few specific ones. In that case, you shouldn't link the entire campaign, but just the banners you actually need, to that zone.

    w-sky reacted to Erik Geurts in Getting blank screen / error 500 instead of update wizard   
    When a 500 error occurs, Apache (or whatever webserver software you use) will log the cause of that error. I recommend reviewing the error log or discussing this with your hosting provider or sysadmin. Once the cause of the error has been fixed, you should be good to go again.

    Try editing your config file in the "var/" folder.
    Change :
    The part which says "mysql" to "mysqli" at the following section :
     
    [database] type=mysql
