zone invocation restrict to campaign or client

[jackbi]

Hi,

is it possible to restrict a zone to a campaign or client by invocation code.

something like

https://revive.myserver.net/www/delivery/ajs.php?zoneid=5&campaignid=22

I want to reuse this zone and not create for every campaign a new one

thanx for any advice

Hi, 

No this feature is not available. 

If you don't want to use zone for tracking information then there is solution available. This solution only useful when you serve ads on your own website. In Javascript Invocation tag, instead of "document.write ("?zoneid=24");" change as " document.write ("?campaignid=13");". you can specify the campaign id and it will display ads from this campaign id. By using this code only advertiser statistics reports will be shown.

Thanks.

Contrary to the previous comment, this is definitely possible. One can add any key=value parameter to a zone's invocation code and then use that for targeting on the banner(s).

Hi Erik, 

I also explained yes that possible by using  like this in invocation code document.write ("?campaignid=13"). 

I mentioned When you use campaign id like this,  zone statistics reports will not generate, impressions and clicks will store with bannerid only and Zone id will be store as '0'. So nothing wrong in the post above i described.

That is not the solution, in fact, you're explaining it wrong. Adding campaign ID to the invocation code is not the answer to the original question.

Thanks for all hints.
Sorry Erik but unfortunately Dave got my issiu. More or less I need a (pre-)filter applied on zones to select just banners with to a certain campaign or client. I know I could accomplish that by filters on banners too, but then every banner assigned to this zone that i dont want to show up needs some restrictions like: 
only show if  (Site variable) campaignid ist not set.

Or is there some other/better solution?

[Erik Geurts]

Believe whatever you want to believe, but yes, there is a better solution than what was suggested, and it is in your own reply.

Hi, 

If we pass the value in invocation tag document.write ("?zoneid=5&campaignid=22"); and it will generate and call the adserver like you mentioned https://revive.myserver.net/www/delivery/ajs.php?zoneid=5&campaignid=22. But it wont target both zoneid and campaignid means it wont fetch ads linked this zone and campaign, instead of this fetch only the ads from campaignid, delivery script will not consider zoneid passed. In this case zone id will treat as '0' for logging details for impressions, clicks. This only i was explained in above. 

Only you have to pass the value in invocation tag and target using "Site - Variable" option. No solution to target both zone and campaignid other than this. 

By doing customization on script level then it possible, but its not recommended to change on core file because it will affect while upgrading revive adserver to latest version.

Thanks.

Once again, a bad solution for a relatively simple problem. Using site-variable targeting, the requirement in the initial question can be met, and the software will also be generating full statistics.
