Thanks or the reply. I assume I need to find another way.

Hey everyone, a client of mine got a standard GIF banner and two URLs/links from his ad agency (one link for click tracking, one for impression tracking). So I uploaded the GIF banner and added the click-tracking link as the target URL and this works. But I have no idea where to put the impression-tracking URL/link. Any ideas?

Yes I might have deleted the file since there was no answer in weeks. Nevertheless there was a color indicator in openX and I wonder what option Revive has that shows me whether a zone is booked or not.

Hi there, I remember in OpenX there was a red color indicator telling me a specific zone is already booked (has a banner assigned). I don´t see that in Revive. Do I miss something or is there another way of indication "this zone already has a banner"? See screenshot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4814298/2017-11-27_15-15-09.jpeg

Hi, I received some ZIP files from a client containing ad formats but I have no idea how to insert them into a campaign in Revive Adserver. I added an example to my dropbox at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4814298/AFO_Rectangle_keyfacts_phase2.zip Any help will be apreciated. Thanks Michael

Hey guys, is there a simple and straight forward updating procedure like a "one-click" update or do I always need to take the steps described here: https://www.revive-adserver.com/support/upgrading/ This sounds like a lot of effort for a "small" update like from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 Thaks Michael

Hi, I´m using Revive on some client websites and the legal department of that client is asking for detailed legal information about the cookies used by Revive. This is for legally required data protection information that each website in Germany needs to provide to its users/visitors (even if nobody ever reads this stuff). Is there any detailed information available? Cheers Michael

That shouldn´t be a problem I assume. We only need to tell that to the agencies. Thanks a lot

Crazy ;-) It works. So I need to change http into https in such cases always, right?

The Revive install runs on a https site indeed. Do I have to make any changes then? https://adserver.automotiveit.eu

Hi there, I´m having some trouble to get a HTML banner to work. This is what I got from the ad-agency: <!-- BEGIN ADITIONTAG --> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://imagesrv.adition.com/js/adition.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ad13.adfarm1.adition.com/js?wp_id=3771361&kid=1910607"></script> <noscript><a href="http://ad13.adfarm1.adition.com/click?sid=3771361&ts={timestamp}"> <img src="http://ad13.adfarm1.adition.com/banner?sid=3771361&kid=1910607&ts={timestamp}" border="0"></a></noscript> <!-- END ADITIONTAG --> I added it exactly as I did in the past in OpenX and I assume there isn´t a big difference in Revive, right? But the banner doesn´t show up, not even in the preview in the backend. See screenshot here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4814298/html-banner.png

Because I don´ really work that much in online-advertising and I don´ like to get bombarded by ads ;-)

You are right. I can see them also on my site (had to deactivate my ad-blocker ;-)) Well then it seems as if something on my clients site blocks the async tag from displaying. Since we don´ seem to find a simple solution we will live with the traditional tag.

I regenerated the async and the traditional tags once again and added them to the testpage. Same result. how can I figure out if the hash matches my URL? By the way: I took the same file and added it to my own site just to check and it shows nothing except the comments: https://der-prinz.de/adserver-test.html

I have added a plain HTML page with the async code. http://www.automotiveit.eu/adserver-test.html Can you see why it´ not working? The related zone ID 6 has a running campaign which works on the mainpage with the traditional JS tag.

It´ strange in fact and I will investigate it but for the moment I´ fine with the traditional JS tag. Thanks

Thanks Erik. To cut it short: Is there any reason why I should NOT use the regular JS tag which is working just fine

When I use the default asyncronous JS tag on my clients site no banner shows up. When I switch to the regular JS tag the banner show as expected. Any idea why that is?

Hi Erik, would be great because the client´s hoster deactivates PHP 5.3 on December 12th which is currently required to run OpenX Source v2.8 If you have an idea how to run OpenX Source v2.8 on a newer PHP version I´d be glad to get your advice. That would take the timing stress out of the situation. Thanks Michael

OK. I fully understand that. This is a clients project. Can they hire you?

Ok I started again from scratch and now I get these error on running the upgrade wizzard: Errors were found when detecting previous installations of Revive Adserver MDB2 Error: not found application - Openads configuration file detected - Could not connect to the database : d0241b49 I have double checked the DB login data in the configuration file and they are correct. I don´t understand really the other errors. Any ideas?

Great. I will take a look at it and try again.

Thanks Erik. Well in fact my OpenX Source install is on the subdomain openx.automotiveit.eu (which points to automotiveit.eu/openx) and the Revive Adserver is at adserver.automotive-it.eu (which points to automotiveit.eu/_adserver How can I make the upgrade in this scenario? Hope there is a simple way. But I could also switch the Revive Adserver directory or domain if required.

I tried to upgrade an OpenX Source 2.8 install to Revive Adserver 4.0 and I followed the steps here: https://www.revive-adserver.com/support/upgrading/ But when I run the upgrade wizard it starts a fresh install. I assume I missed something significant but have no clue what. The images are stored in a directory outside OpenX / Revive Adserver Any help would be appreciated.
