Ian reacted to Superkikim in Google Adsense
I love the way people ask for help....
"Not working" ... "Help".... "How to ".....
Come on guys....
Anyway. Just a word to say I've installed a Revive AdServer and I struggled a bit to have Google Adsense work correctly. I use it on a forum site with PHPBB3 an Adsense and Ads extension from Stoker. Seems now it works fine. Impressions are similar on Revive and Adsense dashboard. However, on Revive, I don't have the click tracking working for Google Adsense. It's not a big deal for now, I will dig this issue later.
Here some tips I may have fixed for it to work:
The forum is using a StartSSL certificate and accessed only through HTTPS. The revive server was using a self signed certificate. Ads were not shown, or randomly, and content was totally useless (not targeted). At first, it cost me about two third of the Google Adsense revenue... I then installed a StartSSL certificate as well on the AdServer and it started working much better. It is therefore important that, if you're using HTTPS on the target site, that the AdServer is secured as well at the same level, and you change http to https in the invoke code. Remember that Google is more and more picky about SSL At start, I tried the ASync JS Tag on Revive. It was not working good. Again, bad targetting, no tracking. Was bad. I changed it to Balised Javascript. And now all works fine beside of the click tracking. My next actions will be to:
Doublecheck what kind of invoke code I used from Google AdSense, because I don't remember .... o_0 Try to get the click tracking working for Google Adsense Hope this helps some people who know what they are trying to achieve :)
For the others, like Pablo, Sojic.... RTFM (to be polite) or pay someone to do it for you... If you thought it would be easy as playing to Angry Bird, please, rethink !

I think that if the code reviews would get funded there would be interest :)

600$ for 30 million imps/month is ways too expensive. You could save a lot of money outsourcing your ad-server hosting as well.

Or just rename all the PNG files in that folder.
Go in to the folder and :
ls | while read upName; do loName=`echo "${upName}" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`; mv "$upName" "$loName"; done

Ian reacted to mattheoh in Interstitual and background (as a lightbox)
I auto-reply myself ;)
I had to modify /plugins/invocationTags/oxInvocationTags/layerstyles/simple/layerstyle.inc.php
and added a div englobing the banner :
<div id="MAX_'.$uniqid.'" style="position: absolute;background: white ;left: 0;width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0;z-index: 19;visibility: visible; text-align: center; padding-top: 30px;"> Don't forget to put the id on this div , to be able to close it.

Ian reacted to mattheoh in Interstitual and background (as a lightbox)
Hi,
I would like to use Revive Adserver to show up an interstitial image.
I d like to hide all the site with a white color all around the image (like a lightbox).
I tried to configure interstitial as simple and put a white background, but it does not cover the site (it just adds white color around the image).
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

There's an irregular amount of spam on the site, admins need to spend a little more time cleaning up, or you need more admins :)

Do you use an external third party tag ? Might have been coming from there..

Yes, it is possible if you also use php-fpm with opcode caching, and enable Memcache within Revive.

Hello Geoffrey!
Nov 04 22:48:28 +0000 OX-563a8b3c08153 [ warning] session_start(): open(/var/lib/php/session/sess_hiqd3vud1jmlmlgontr1dsjmi3, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13)
I think if you fix those permission issues, you are good to go. Cheers, Ian -

Sure, Revive has a clickurl Macro, which you should just put in front of the URL, If I recall correctly I think it should be like :
<a href="{clickurl}//www.booking.com?aid=425828">Booking.com</a>

Hi Richard,
Do they provide you with an invocation code, and you'd want to do click tracking ?
Cheers, Ian
