So I wanted to to run and push the infolinks through our adserver for obvious reasons as it way easier to manage the whole ad inventory for our websites there.But when we added the inforlinks ad script: <script type="text/javascript"> var infolinks_pid = XYZ-SOMETHING ; var infolinks_wsid = 0; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="//resources.infolinks.com/js/infolinks_main.js"></script> it is actually pushed out on the websites in clear text pretty much as it looks above. When we created the banner we chose "Generic html banner" --> Ticked off "Use WYSIWYG HTML Editor" and then choose "Do not alter HTML". But obvious this approach doesn't work. So what are we missing here or doing wrong? I would appreciate a lot any help that could lead us in the right direction. Thanks! Kind regards AngryWarrior.

Hi @andrewatfornax Thank you for explaining this. Well that option "Geo -Country" doesn't show up on my server. Not sure why? Is there a way to fix this so you can the "country only" option too in the drop down list? Also thank you very much for explaining "regex". So that is for adding custom PHP code into in other words then to create specific match? Thanks a bunch. Kind regards AngryWariror

Just wonder if you can leave the city field blank? I expect that it is the case, but just want to confirm this. Also I'd like to know what a "regex match" is? Could someone please kindly explain that to me? Thank you. Kind regards

Hello @roccobarbi You probably have an folder/file permission issue on your server. Check your permissions to begin with and do what andrewatfornax suggest; to check your server logs too. Good luck with solving this. :-) Kind regards

How do you use these? The fields can be fund in "User Interface Settings" in the administrator dashboard and there is no documentation about them. Thanks! kind regards

Hi @tkat i think I have solved the issue and you can find the solution in my thread here: Maybe this will work for your too? :-) Kind regards AngryWarrior

i think I actually managed to solve this issue. :-) I deactivated and then deleted the Geo targeting plugin. Downloaded a fresh installation package of Revive Unzipped the package locally on my pc. I then uploading the geo targeting plugin zip file from the folder etc/plugins/reviveMaxMindGeoIP2.zip Then as administrator head to plugins in the administrator dashboard e.g. https://yourdomain.com//www/admin/plugin-index.php?selection=plugins and upload the zip package and enable it. (it should happen automatically): Then in that interface "plugins" chose the geo targeting plugin and click "Details" --> Settings --> License key. Go to Maxmind and generate a new license key https://www.maxmind.com/en/account/login and then enter that new license key in the license field and hit "save". Ok so next thing we need to do is to force Revive to initiate the download of the Maxmind database. So what yu need to do is to go back to the admin interface as admin and go to "plugins" e.g. https://yourdomain.com/www/admin/plugin-index.php. The way this is done is simple by clicking "disable" then wait a minute and then re-enable the plugin again by clicking "Activate". This will force Revive to start downloading the database from Maxmind. After the former step is done, then go to your Maxmind account and see if Revive has used your new key (confirms that it is working), result: As you can see in my case Revive has now done a data query for the Maxmind database and used the license key. :-) Ok so the final step is to see that it is finally working and that Geo targeting is working and added to your drop down list in banner settings click your Banner --> Deliver options --> Add deliver rule dropdown. Final Result: So the whole problem I guess lies in the Revive never have downloaded the Maxmind database and thus it will therefor e not display the Geo targeting options in the Banner setting delivery options drop down for that reason. The solution is to follow the steps I provided above. I hope this might help others that may encounter the same issue as I have and be a helpful solution. :-) Cheers everyone. Kind regards AngryWarrior.

I seem to have the same issue as you, not that it helps much... I'm trying to figure out whats going on too and solve this. Do you by any chance figured anything out that you could be kind and share please? Thank you very much in advance. ;-) Kind regards

Hi again. Logging into the Maxmind account it seems to reveal that Revive has never queried maxmind for the license key and database? If Revive has asked for it then it would list the last date of data query for it right there, right? Kind regards

Hi @andrewatfornax Hmmm this is quite interesting... If I tick that check box: It will display the geo targeting options in the banner delivery options drop down: But if I tick of that same check box it will not display the drop down options with geo targeting. So what does this point to? That the Maxmind database is still not installed even though I added a key for it or does this implicate something else? What can I /should I do to resolve this? Thanks again for your kind help. Kind regards

Hi Andre. Here is the result from your link. I did try by using a Firefox portable us version. This is the result: Do maybe have any idea on how I can solve this issue with the geo targeting issue? Below you find the settings of geo targeting in the system: Geo targeting settings: Plugin settings: Detail view: Setting view: Thanks a bunch! :-) Kind regards

Hi @andrewatfornax Thank you for your reply. If you are referring to updating and installing the Maxmind database, I have already done that. I ahd some issues with it due to an update gone bad (it didn't finish the plugin update script in the end), which you can see here: So I have indeed added the Maxmind license key in the Maxmind plugin section.. Not sure what can be wrong or what i might done wrong. Kind regards

So anyone here that have an idea how to prevent this from happening please? Kind regards

So according to the server documentation there should be serveral Geo options from the maxmind database plugin:https://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Geotargeting+Delivery+Rules#GeotargetingDeliveryRules-Geo-Country/City But when i look on the delivery rules under the banner there is no such options: Geo - Continent Geo - Country Geo - Latitude/Longitude Geo - US/Canada Postal Code Instead i only see this: I have checked that the plugin is enabled too and it is. So i do not understand why it is not working properly. The geo options as I understand it should be listed in the drop down list right? Any help with this would be very appreciated. 👍 Thanks.. Kind regards Hi thanks for the reply @andrewatfornax 😃 Yes, i did try with both Danish and English (US) browser (firefox and Chrome), and the ads are still served when using Danish browser version.. What i am attempting to do is that I want to limit the ad serving to only one or a few countries. In this case to only US. But i just found out a few minutes ago (as you can see in my new positing above), that there should be some GEO settings in the system's drop down and it is missing on my server instance. Not sure how to fix this. Kind regards
