Help With Invocation Code

[Patrick]

Hi, i´m new on this forum and have maybee a silly question,

 

I have installed Revive Open ad server and testing with it, i guess in the future i have to present about 200 banners in my own website. therefore i have two questions:

 

1) the open ad server is installed on the same server in another directory than my site, what is the best sollution for adding a banner,

 

A: Upload a local banner to the server or

B: Upload a local banner to the Database or

C: Link an external banner (i guess this is when i place a banner in a directory on my server)

 

 

2) What is the most secure Invocation Code for a Zone, i mean with secure the code where the chance is the greatest to present a banner

 

A: Javascript tag (what happens when a visitor have his browser java disabled?)

B: IFrame Tag

C: Local Mode Tag

 

Am i right when i think the iframe tag is the most secure?, for the statistics it is for me most important an overview of Clicks and views.

 

Thanks in Advance

Hi Patrick ,

 

1.Upload a local banner to the server -  (you can find your banners your_revive_installation_directory/www/images)

 

2.If Java Script disable  - Revive Java Script will server the banner , Because there is No Script Tag (Image Tag  )also.

 

Iframe Tag better for Rich Media Ad Serving.

 

You can use Image Tag also

Hi Chinnu,

Thanks for the quick response, do you mean with Rich Media Ad Serving a normal banner like .jpg, png and so?

 

and further, is there a best way in case a visitor disabled cookies?

[Guest]

Hi

 

Rich Media Ad Serving  means - Java Script or iFrame based

 

 

If cookie disable  Java Script Tag will be solution

 

If Java Script disabled Image Tag will be solution

 

 

 

 

For HTML ad you can use iFrame Tag also

 

 

Also to speed up , you can use Single Page Invocation Tag - Java Script

ok here my last reply about this topic, and again thanks for your help.

 

so for the best results, when i create an advertiser account,

 

A) i Upload a local banner to the server and for the zone i make an Invocation code with javascript tag

 

so when a visitor have disabled Java and cookies, this wil give with this configuration the best results

A visitor will see the banner, and my statistics give the most possible results,

 

i a´m aware that without cookies a banner shall count more times with the same visitor because each time a banner is showing up, revive wil see the visitor as a new visitor, what not happend when a visitor allow cookies....

 

is this correct?

Hi Java Script Tag contains No Script (Image Tag) .

 

If Java Script Blocked , Image Tag will display the banners .

 

In this case Cookie + Java Script is disabled , Clicks will be not tracked.

 

Because Cookie contains banner id to complete the redirection to destination URL.

 

You can try iFrame Tag also.

 

 

If you have facing  any issues , you can share here

Which part of the code to I place in the wordpress widgets box and which parts do I have to change?

 

<!--/* Revive Adserver Javascript Tag v3.0.2 */-->

<!--/*
  * The backup image section of this tag has been generated for use on a
  * non-SSL page. If this tag is to be placed on an SSL page, change the
  *   'http://world.edu/revive/www/delivery/...'
  * to
  *   'https://world.edu/revive/www/delivery/...'
  *
  * This noscript section of this tag only shows image banners. There
  * is no width or height in these banners, so if you want these tags to
  * allocate space for the ad before it shows, you will need to add this
  * information to the <img> tag.
  *
  * If you do not want to deal with the intricities of the noscript
  * section, delete the tag (from <noscript>... to </noscript>). On
  * average, the noscript tag is called from less than 1% of internet
  * users.

Hi,

It shows Database Connection Error. Just check to it, so that can help you out in solving the issue.

[kevinryall]

That does not really help me. Is it the database that is at fault or the code I have input. This is what I now have

<script type='text/javascript'><!--//<![CDATA[
   var m3_u = (location.protocol=='https:'?'https://world.edu/revive/www/delivery/ajs.php:http://world.edu/revive/www/delivery/ajs.php');
   var m3_r = Math.floor(Math.random()*99999999999);
   if (!document.MAX_used) document.MAX_used = ',';
   document.write ("<scr"+"ipt type='text/javascript' src='"+m3_u);
   document.write ("?zoneid=3");
   document.write ('&amp;cb=' + m3_r);
   if (document.MAX_used != ',') document.write ("&amp;exclude=" + document.MAX_used);
   document.write (document.charset ? '&amp;charset='+document.charset : (document.characterSet ? '&amp;charset='+document.characterSet : ''));
   document.write ("&amp;loc=" + escape(window.location));
   if (document.referrer) document.write ("&amp;referer=" + escape(document.referrer));
   if (document.context) document.write ("&context=" + escape(document.context));
   if (document.mmm_fo) document.write ("&amp;mmm_fo=1");
   document.write ("'><\/scr"+"ipt>");
