  1. I wonder if anybody has any tips for getting the userbase, the advertisers and the publishers using a Revive installation, to comply with IAB recommended banner sizes, (or any other), as per: http://www.iab.net/guidelines/508676/508767/displayguidelines It's not that I don't appreciate the value of using a common size across multiple clients/affiliates, but I wonder if my users appreciate it to the same extent. Some can be remarkably obstinate about their "special" image/s, etc. Any helpful feedback for how to encourage the user base to use a sensible *common* format/size set is appreciated. Cheers. R.
  2. It's possible that for an ordinary-member-post, the pin is only valid for 7 days, (I'm not sure about that), but I'm certain that an admin-post can be made permanent. That's what we want to see, I would suggest, as THE pinned post at the top of the FB group, (but the administrator of the group might have to do that).
  3. hi Andrew, et al, I think you're right in that "fragmenting the number of places" is not helpful. However, having more places where people can go to FIND THIS FORUM, is a good idea! So, I'd suggest pinning a top-post on the FB group which always points directly here. R.
  4. Ah, I see what's happening now. With Firefox, for some reason, the "Submit Reply" field does not expand correctly, and I get to see only the "Drag files here..." section. With Chrome, I additionally see the entire editable text field, when clicking the "Submit Reply" button, as expected. Maybe this will help someone else, in the meantime, I'll just use Chrome.
  5. You'll need to make sure your library files can be found from your setup file. To begin with, that file system path looks rather strange: /home/content/57/12609857/html/revive-adserver/init.php In any case THAT file is searching for the "pre-check.php" file in the same directory. Is it there?
  6. That looks ok now, Matteo, thanks for the feedback. Maybe it was a temporary glitch, these things happen. I know
  7. I appear unable to respond to personal messages, or to *respond* to forum posts, all of a sudden. Perhaps someone has "flicked an admin. switch"...?
  8. Hi Jeff, many thanks for your feedback, and I take your suggestions on board for consideration, as well as directly answering a couple of points here. The Signup plugin does include account creation, an Advertiser or a Publisher, with a corresponding user access account, as per the docs. In terms of a demo, currently there are screenshots, and more thorough documentation, and introductory information, will be forthcoming as TUITs are resolved. The 30 day support clause is incorrect, that should read 90 days support, (and the relevant page has been updated on the site) - thanks for pointing that out. Self-service Ads management (for advertisers) is on the cards. With a semi-automated campaign purchase/banner approval system in the works for the near future. Rome wasn't built in a day R.
  9. Human engineering is almost always going to be the most common cause, Duff, default, or easy to guess, passwords, and the like...
  10. It does exist, but, at the time of writing with 3.2.1, it doesn't seem to work out of the box. You'll probably have to fiddle with the source to get it to install, and then the database stuff is still only about 80% functional. The main benefit of struggling with it, is that you may find examples to work with. Just FYI on my experience so far...
  11. The FB. group is a closed group, which it's not possible to "join", so quite how anybody can "hop in", is anyone's guess.
  12. Screenshots are available on the website, and registration fees are handled. (Campaign creation and related extra functionality is a work-in-progress.) ps. if someone thinks this is costly, I respectfully suggest they go right ahead and use the freely available facilities which come with Revive out of the box. It's good software, but lacks some much-needed and quality features, which state some of us are rectifying.
  13. There's a partial solution here. It's early days yet, and feedback from live installs would be appreciated to improve the software. RFI Revive Adserver SignupFee Plugin Full disclosure, this plugin is an RFI plugin.
  14. All the data is stored in the database, plus your images/ directory. You probably want to look into database and filesystem backup and restore tools.
  15. What do you mean, exactly...?
  16. You can provide admin- and self-signup, with registration fee support for advertisers and publishers, using these plugins. Please note that these are a work-in-progress and features are expanding all the time. Early screenshots here. Full disclosure: I'm the author/developer.
  17. If the configuration setting is too short for dev. purposes, you might consider clearing the cache directories manually and restarting your server.
  18. According to the -> upgrade docs. <- you may be able to use the database tools to assist you. I havn't had the pleasure of migrating wildly different Adserver database versions, and it probably won't be a single command, but it's worth looking into. 1. Copying the database As explained in detail above, the upgrade process involves making a copy of your production database into a newly created database and then to run the upgrade on this new database. If you’re not comfortable with command line statements, you might be able to use a tool like phpMyAdmin to copy all of your tables from the existing database ‘revive_adserver_abc’ into the new database ‘revive_adserver_xyz’. However, it is often faster to use a few command line statements to export the data from the existing database and then to import it into the new database. If you don’t know how, ask a colleague, team member, or outside expert for help. Here is a template for the command line statements. To export data from the existing database into a text file:Quotemysqldump -uUSER -pPASSWORD OLDDATABASE –skip-lock-tables > FILE.sqlTo import data from this text file into the new database:Quotemysql -uUSER -pPASSWORD NEWDATABASE < FILE.sqlYou’ll have to replace the USER, PASSWORD, OLDDATABASE and NEWDATABASE placeholders with the actual names and values. Whatever way of copying the data you use, always make sure that you’ve got a copy of all the tables of your existing database. You can do this by comparing the list of tables of both databases.
  19. There's a few threads on here which might be worth reading through: http://forum.revive-adserver.com/topic/1385-using-ssl-for-serving-ads/?hl=https http://forum.revive-adserver.com/topic/322-serving-ads-over-https-fails/?hl=https http://forum.revive-adserver.com/topic/1404-serving-ads-from-https-not-working/?hl=https HTH.
  20. There's a newly released plugin for Advertiser- and Publisher- Self-Signup, as well as making it easier for the Administrator to create accessible accounts from a single page. Full disclosure: I wrote this. You can see screenshots linked from the main plugin page here
  21. Screenshots for the Adserver Signup Plugin now available here
  22. I'm not sure Kaspersky is so reliable that you can believe what it says "verbatim". Many virus scanners will report Adservers as false-positives, and this includes GoogleAds and others. Take from that what you will.
  23. You shouldn't get any 404's with a standard Revive installation, (presumably you're using the latest version?) Some other things to check: do your www/admin/* paths exist on your server? Is your web server is intercepting your requests in an unexpected manner? Is your configuration file up-to-date and all of your configuration paths correct? http://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Admin+Guide
