Hello @420
You need your own server and hosting the ad server yourself and not use the paid cloud version to do this.
Cheers.
Yes, that's what we use. How would we do it for one campaign?

I'm guessing this isn't possible?

From what I'm aware, we use zones and the invocation code for it. I haven't heard of Direct Selection and whenever I search it up, it says it's supposed to be deprecated or that you can't use it together with zones. So what is it and why does it still show up in traffic reports?
Thanks!

I think you want a format string of:
%m-%d-%Y
We changed it to that and we're currently testing to see if it works.
But I see a new version is out now. Was it fixed in the latest version?

Hey @420
In the GitHub ticket (linked above), you'll find a comment from me on 21 August, which links to the exact line of code where the date is being formatted for sending in emails.
Feel free to make the minor code change you need there to fix it yourself, if that's what you're looking to do!
Do you know what we need to replace in the file by chance? (Off-topic note: The line is no longer accurate because of updates).
Back around that time, we tried replacing
$oEndDate->format($date_format),with
$oEndDate->format('m-d-Y'),But it didn't work. It displayed m-d-Y in the emails so we reverted the file back to its previous contents. -
Thank you Andrew, we really appreciate it man. It's been over a year and a half now. When we used to ask OpenX, they simply sent us a quick easy email with a minor code change and we were able to fix it ourselves. For some reason, you guys don't want to give us that data. The issue has been going on for almost a decade.
-
Yeah we've been trying to get a date code fixed for years with no help, just empty promises and requests for donations.
Is there another software on the market that does what Revive does?
We used OpenX for over a decade before they got bought out by Revive.

We've updated to the latest version but the problem is still there.

Giving this a bump. Can someone please answer?
-
Is this possible?
We want to do this so that (some) links from advertisers are more exposed to search engines.
-

Thank you for doing what you can, we really appreciate it.
As stated a dozen times since June of last year regarding this issue, we'll gladly donate once the issue is resolved :)
Meanwhile, I'll see if our programmer can hire another programmer to figure it out.
I wouldn't imagine it's rocket science; just scan the files and code for buzz words in the email, right?
-
Yes, we updated both threads for maximum visibility and action.
Can you please tell us where to edit it for now, until your next release?
With all due respect, we've been reporting this issue for four years now; first three years you guys told us how to fix it every time you updated, the last year you won't tell us and keep saying it will be fixed. Meanwhile, our advertisers get upset from the incorrect dates, accounts expire without proper notice, they lose sales, we lose money and long term relationships, and it's all around bad business. Then you ask us for donations for work that hasn't been completed. :)
Thank you for considering simply telling us where to edit the date format in the email template for now, like you always did before.

Hello?
Edit: Is there something like an email template in the software we can edit to fix this?

Hi,
Is it possible to use the set advertiser's URL from the banner link url destination instead of the Ad Revive Server's link on a per banner ad basis?
https://www.domain.com/bmg/www/delivery/ck.php?blahblah
Or is it possible to have it done globally?
I would much rather like to know about it on a per ad basis. If you can send over instructions or a link to a guide, that would be great.
Thanks!

It appears to be resolved in the admin control panel, however you missed updating the email that goes out advising of expiration.
Example for an August expiration email notification
The campaign belonging to XXX shown below is due to end on 01-08-2019.
This should read 08-01-2019 for US format
Can I get a reply please? Thanks!

Er, okay, thanks @420, have I misunderstood the comment in https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver/issues/983#issuecomment-501910702 then?

Sounds like this is fixed - the issue was a need to change the language, rather than the timezone...
Doesn't seem to be fixed. Language has always been set to English US.

Our programmer says the date format did not change, he says...
mbeccati's instructions are already in place as shown in the attached screenshot from the new version -
https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver/issues/983#issuecomment-400943340account-preferences-timezone.php is set to America/Los_Angeles - https://www.xxx.com/bmg/www/admin/account-preferences-timezone.php
Unless there should be a new option to select under account-preferences-timezone.php for the change to go into effect?
How can I use my own URL instead of Ad Revive's own?

Yes, that's OK but how would we have the advertiser's domains displayed in a web browser instead of the Ad Revive masked link for one campaign/banner? Is it a feature offered by default in Revive Ad Server? That's the question.
Thanks!
