    Hi DanFlag,
     
    The way to get to this page is to do the following:
     
    Inventory > Websites > {www.example.com} > Invocation Code.
     
    Then, select the various option(s) that you want, and click on the "Generate" button.
     
    This will take you to the page you're talking about, but with all of the relevant parameters passed into the script to make it work.
     
    Hope that helps!

    Noted, and now delivered in Revive Adserver 3.2.0.
  3. andrewatfornax's post in Is This The Policy In Revive Adserver Hide Developer Documentation To Force To Pay For Support ? ! was marked as the answer   
    Hello,
     
    No, absolutely not. The Revive Adserver team do not have a policy to hide anything to force people to pay for support.
     
    We appreciate that our documentation is incomplete as at the time of this post - use documentation, admin documentation, and developer documentation. Indeed, there is simply no developer documentation for Revive Adserver at all at this point in time.
     
    As Revive Adserver is an open source project, with no financial backing, the time that the team spends working on the code, the website, the documentation and the forum is entirely voluntary, and unpaid for. While we have a few ideas for helping to raise money to pay for things like hosting, etc., at the present time, the income that the team gets from the Revive Adserver project is effectively zero.
     
    So, we'd love to have lots of developer documentation, and it's certainly on the list. When we get a chance, I am sure we will write some. Until then, we rely on the support of the community to help each other - and us - out, develop code where they can, suggest documentation improvements where they can, keep translation files up to date where they can, and support each other and answer questions on the forums where they can. All of these things will help the team spend the time they can afford to donate to the project focussed on core updates that will benefit everyone.
     
    Sincerely,
     
    Andrew

    No, sorry. See the system requirements: http://www.revive-adserver.com/support/requirements/
  7. andrewatfornax's post in Competing Banners On One Page was marked as the answer   
    When you generate the zone invocation tag, those tag types that support it have an option called "Don't show a banner from the same campaign again on the same page". That does exactly what it says it does, and does exactly what you're asking for -- it stops another banner from the same campaign showing up again on the same page. 
  8. andrewatfornax's post in Openx Adserver Destination Url In Emails (Version 2.8) was marked as the answer   
    There's a reason why Revive Adserver has an email/newsletter zone type - and why that zone type has a very specific, no-javascript, no cookies type of zone tag; Javascript generally won't be run by email clients; that's why your banner code isn't working. 
     
    Set up an email/newsletter zone, and use the invocation code from that in your emails.
  9. andrewatfornax's post in Probabilities was marked as the answer   
    What you want to do is add a remnant campaign to your zones, to "mop up" any "spare" inventory that Revive Adserver doesn't need for your contract campaigns. See the documentation on the different campaign types:

  10. andrewatfornax's post in Email Server? was marked as the answer   
    Yes - it uses whatever PHP is configured to use: http://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Email
  11. andrewatfornax's post in Adsense Not Showing Up was marked as the answer   
    Okay, so you will only see a banner 50% of the time - load the zone tag a few more times and see if it shows up after a while.
     
    If not, check your delivery limitations and capping to make sure that's not preventing it from displaying for you.
  12. andrewatfornax's post in Server Side Conversion Tracking was marked as the answer   
    Back in the day, when Revive Adserver was OpenX Source (around about version 2.6 I think), conversion tracking was done server side. The problem is that the storage requirements for all the data just got too large when you had more than a trivially sized installation.
     
    So, everything was moved to be cookie based. 
     
    I honestly can't see us changing things to work in a non-cookie way.
     
    But I suspect you probably could make calls to Revive as you have suggested - or, if all else fails, just write the appropriate data to the database!
  13. andrewatfornax's post in Stats Stopped Working After Installing 3.0.3 was marked as the answer   
    I think we fixed this issue with the 3.0.4 release. Sorry about that - we had an issue with the automatic generation of some of the files.
  14. andrewatfornax's post in Billing And Payment? was marked as the answer   
    Hi!
     
    Easy question to answer - because of the history of the project. It started out way back when as an open source product to do what was needed - and this really is a long time ago now - and billing & payment simply wasn't a need. Then it was adopted by the company that is now known as OpenX, and again, that company as it developed the software simply didn't need this functionality.
     
    Now that the project has been brought back to the open source community, it's possible that we could add this feature, if there's demand for it, and time and/or funding to make it happen. But as a volunteer-based open source project.... Well, the team does everything it can to make Revive Adserver great, but I can basically guarantee we can't make everyone happy & add every feature. Not unless someone wants to come along and come up with a finance package for it that lets us code full time on the project!
