Although this post has had no responses to date, there is a similar post over here which has some relevant feedback:
http://forum.revive-adserver.com/topic/1581-requesting-ads-by-ad-theme-or-classification/

As far as I understand how site-variables work in Revive, this can be done, but it's messy. Please correct me if I'm wrong with the following description:
To classify any site, you can create a targeting channel (per website), with some delivery limitation of other. This can then be applied to banners, and easily to all banners in any campaign, from the advertisers perspective. So far so good.
The messy part comes when actually applying any site-channel from the campaign/banner, and you now have to select each website/target individually. This seems to be a fine idea when you are dealing with a single humungous website, but when dealing with many websites this rapidly becomes a nightmare. Let me describe this in another way (and again, please correct me if I'm wrong): What we currently have in Revive:
Targeting channels:
Website-one-is-autos
Website-two-is-food
Website-three-is-autos
Website-four-is-autos
Advertiser campaign banner (must apply all of the following delivery limitations):
Website-one-is-autos
Website-three-is-autos
Website-four-is-autos
What is wanted, is that the banner needs only apply one single "is-autos" delivery limitation, like so:
Advertiser campaign banner (must apply the following delivery limitations):
Website-is-autos
However, currently this cannot be done without specifying each and every single website restriction which is relevant individually. Have I understood this correctly, perhaps Erik/Matteo/other admin/expert can comment?
-
Might it be because the targeting channel zones don't match the banners?
What I mean is: the website channels will only be displayed as options where the website has zones which match the banners already.
(If I understand the process correctly...)
As far as I see it, the setup it quite easy:
1.) create a targeting channel (under "Inventory" => "Targeting Channels") and set up the delivery limitations you want.
2.) add a delivery limitation "Site - Channel" to a banner and select which channel should be used on this banner. (Rules "is any of", "is none of" or "is all of")
But it seems, that there is something not working as intended, because I have the following problems:
1.) sometimes the list of channels to choose is just empty (when adding a "Site - Channel" Delivery Limitation to a banner)
2.) under "My Account" => "Targeting Channel Management" I get the message "There are currently no targeting channels defined", but I have defined several.
Anyone an idea what could be the problem here?
Best,
Dunsti

You need to create user access account/rules: http://forum.revive-adserver.com/topic/73-can-i-add-more-user-account-in-revive/
I am sorry i am new to Revive Ad server. Actually we have 3 different sites, and one has different user. So i need to create new account for him.
But is there any way of front end like other advertising networks has?
I dont see users front end area?
Also i cant create pop up? how do i add 3rd party pop code, and create new code.

Hi Jeff,
Did you get anywhere with a reliable plugin for billing for advertiser/publisher payments for Revive?
-
I think what Erik is saying, is that Revive already does what you are trying to do. And that you are circumventing (avoiding) Revive altogether by your use of the extra URL in the meta tag.
You need to let the click follow the banner to your Revive server, (for the click-tracking), and then let Revive use it's configured banner information to redirect the user onwards to the intended final URL.
banner -> revive (tracking) -> url
Because as i said i want to redirect traffic through Revive using built-in targeting, tracking and reporting functionality.

Saw your plugin contribution here, Karen, good work: http://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Plugins
The same here, i don´t know how to create a plugin for revive.

This seems like a very "manual intervention", to have to edit the invocation code AFTER it has been extracted from Revive. Or have I misunderstood something?
I was expecting a kind of category/tags management which matched/filtered against zones and advertisers. Does anyone know of a clearer configuration and/or a plugin which enables this kind of functionality?
If you want to use "Site-Variable" limitations then need to pass that variable with value on "Invocation Tags".
Like : document.write ('&test=1'); after the line "document.write ('&cb=' + m3_r);".
Also you can use "Site-Page URL" limitations, there choose "Contains" option enter keyword. It will work, banner will be deliver based on this.

This might be a frustrating response, but really, the (at the moment) available docs are all here: http://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Revive+Adserver+Documentation
The same here, i don´t know how to create a plugin for revive.

I installed 3.1.0 and so far it looks very sweet. Banners appearing fine, admin and stats. functionality all there, (from what I've seen so far). Looking very good. Just thought you might like to have a positive feedback for a change
-
Good candidates for the .gitignore file:
var/ appears to be a lot like tmp/ everywhere else (on the os)
For images, you might want to include the core contents of the folder, but exclude the images:
www/images/*jpg
www/images/*png
I'd be inclined to keep the plugins under git.

The user wants to present a local UI interface to customers. This must be a fairly standard requirement, and I didn't find any hints to do this in the otherwise very useful documentation either. Looking at the file tree, it looks like simply replacing
www/admin/assets/images/logo-adserver.png will go a long way to customizing the initial look of the basic installation.
After 6 months, perhaps a nudge and a more helpful reply...?
-
The few options which are available, have several confusingly similar lists of functionality. But not quite the same...sigh. Revive Adserver looks really nice, but oh, why, oh why, is there no one-stop solution for billing with Revive Adserver...? :\

I am trying to figure out how to configure ads to be filtered via category or keyword. I'm not having much luck in seeing anything except a highly expensive plugin for this, what I expected to be, fairly standard functionality. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, or is there an open source plugin (or config) which would provide for matching categorization of advertisers/websites.
Thanks in advance for any helpful hints.
ps. I'm a new user, so please be kind

A more appropriate fix might be to use the following patch:
- if (PEAR::isError($message)) {
+ if ((new PEAR)->isError($message)) {
