We use Direct Selection for ads in Emails, as there might be 1-10 ads per email and using email-zones would be quite a mesh. But now I would like to use HTML-banner type with Direct Selection and No Cookie Image Tag. The problem is, that the Tag works with images but when the Banner is of type HTML, nothing shows up. What would be the correct Direct Selection Bannercode that would work with HTML-banners? This one works with an image banner, but not with Generic HTML banner: <a href='https://server.com/www/delivery/cl.php?bannerid=7156' target='_blank'><img src='https://server.com/www/delivery/avw.php?bannerid=7156&amp;source=AD&amp;cb=234234' border='0' alt='' /></a>

I still try to understand this change in version 5.1.0. Click tracking via ck.php is deprecated and the behaviour of some ad render internal functions (_adRenderBuildClickUrl, _adRenderBuildParams) has changed accordingly. The "{clickurlparams}" magic macro has been removed. Does this mean, that I can't use any magic macros for passing {bannerid}, {zoneid}, {campaignid} or any user defined parameter like {uid} to the click destination like below. Is there any way to pass the informations of the used ad to the click destination? /cl.php?bannerid=xx&zoneid=yy&sig=xxxx&maxdest=http://destination.domain.com?uid={uid}&source={source}&banner_id={bannerid}&zone_id={zoneid}&campaign_id={campaingid}&destination=https://final.destination.com/

This problem is still unsolved. Is there any way to get the user defined macros like {uid}, {source} etc be populated while using the direct selection method with the new cl.php? The destination url is stored in the banner like this, but the macros are not working: https://host.com/click.php?uid={uid}&source={source}&banner_id={bannerid}&zone_id=-1&campaign_id={campaignid}&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fdestinationhost.com

I tried the new cl.php, but it does not seem to expand the macros: <a href="https://host.com/www/delivery/cl.php?bannerid=3444"><img src=""></a> does not expand the macros {uid}, {source}, {bannerid}, {campaigned} as the ck.php did before. Now I will be redirected to https://host.com/click.php?uid={uid}&source={source}&banner_id={bannerid}&zone_id=-1&campaign_id={campaignid}&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fdestinationhost.com instead of: https://host.com/click.php?uid=5&source=710&banner_id=3444&zone_id=-1&campaign_id=1522&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fdestinationhost.com

Further question: If we should use the new cl.php script for click-tracking is this macro usage possible any more: The click-url defined for the banner would be like this with the Revive macro-tags: https://host.com/click.php?uid={uid}&source={source}&banner_id={bannerid}&zone_id={zoneid}&campaign_id={campaignid}&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fdestinationhost.com

After upgrading from 5.0.5 to 5.2.0, I noticed that click-tracking of the banners that we use with direct selection codes don't work. The banner is selected like this: http://host.com/www/delivery/avw.php?bannerid=3444 We have used this kind of click-tracking codes: https://host.com/www/delivery/ck.php?bannerid=3444&dest=https://host.com/adstats/click.php?uid=5&source=710&banner_id=3444&zone_id=-1&campaign_id=1522&destination=https%3A%2F%2Fdestinationhost.com Is this now deprecated and how should we define the click-tracking now? We use this kind of selection, because the newsletter could have 5-10 banners and we want to be dynamic with the placement of the banners in the newsletter. I think the newsletter banner type we can't define many banners dynamically: https://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Only+One+Active+Banner+in+Email-Newsletter+Zones. So, what is the correct way to define the click-tracking with direct selection banners?

Well, why not? I need to provide a simple preview window for the Customer to audit the banner visibility and links. I don't want to give access to the admin interface for them.

Hi I would like to create a page, where we can preview a banner from an unpublished campaign. Is there any parameter that would override the restrictions of unpublished campaign and all the delivery restriction rules? Kind of a banner-edit.php page outside of the admin interface. Regards, Lauri

It seems to me, that the pagination on this boards message listings is broken. Could you fix that?

I have two zones on my page for the one campaigns desktop and mobile banners. I use css to hide the other banner based on media queries. Then I have on the same page two other zones for other campaigns where I don't need a different mobile banner. One banner from a same campaign is set to both zones. I would like to use the setting: Don't show a banner from the same campaign again on the same page, to prevent the same banner being shown twice. Now it seems to be so, that this setting for preventing the same campaign on the same page is affecting ALL the zones on the page, not just the zones I set it for. Is that correct? Should the setting affect only the zones where it is set or all the zones on the same page?

I find agencyid in the following tables: affiliates (websites), agency (accounts), channel (targeting channels), clients (advertisers). This means that if I change a website from one account to another, I should change agency in affiliates, clients and maybe in channels if I have any channels bound to that website. What could go wrong? You mean that if the same advertiser is used in many websites under the old account, then there is problems to move it? But if no advertiser is used in any website that remains under the old account, there shouldn't be any problem?

I would like to move one website with all the advertisers, campaigns, banners, zones and statistics under another account. How could this be done? I see that it is called affiliates and agencies under the database and I could imagine that moving one affiliate under another agency id would be enough, but in how many tables should this change be done? And what breaks if I do that on database level?
