Making invocation code work

[Jeroenski]

Hi,

Have a question about making the invocation code work. Have installed Revive 3.2.4 with PHP 7.0.7. Have a website, banner and zones configured on the ad server. But I can not get the invocation code to work. Every type of banner invocation does not provide the banner. Get a blank page all the time. Even with a Local Mod Tag on a webpage at the same server as Revive is installed. Have used other Javescripts and Iframescripts etc and they work fine.

What is it that I miss? Thanks in advance for helping.

Have you reviewed https://www.revive-adserver.com/faq/troubleshooting-banner-delivery/ ?

In particular: are you certain there are banners linked to the zone? And that there is at least one banner of type remnant with no delivery limitations?

Also, you say: "get a blank page all the time". This can mean many things: the ad server timing out, or being very slow, or returning a 500 error.

Hi Erik,

Have now a zone with two banners one remnant one standard, For testing I put the four types of invocation code in a HTML-page on the server where Revive is installed. Even in the /www-directory of the Revive installation. Waited 20 minutes because of the cache. Do not get the desired result. The Local Mod Tag is printed as plain text. There are no issues on the server. No timing out, no slowness, no 500 error.

Example scripts I get from the internet work fine just by copy/pasting them in to the HTML-page.

Based on the information you gave, there's nothing I can do. Please consider posting that test page somewhere and sharing a link with us.

This is the Javacript Tag:

<script type='text/javascript'><!--//<![CDATA[
   var m3_u = (location.protocol=='https:'?'https://domainname/www/delivery/ajs.php':'http://domainname/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=1");
   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>");
//]]>--></script><noscript><a href='http://domainname/www/delivery/ck.php?n=a46589d3&amp;cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE' target='_blank'><img src='http://domainname/www/delivery/avw.php?zoneid=1&amp;cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&amp;n=a46589d3' border='0' alt='' /></a></noscript>

 

Can you see if there is anything wrong?  The word "domainname" is of course not the real domain.

[Erik Geurts]

I'm sorry, but without that domain name, it's not something we can investigate.

Erik,

I am Having a hilarious laugh right now.

The ad-blocker in my browser was the problem.

Thank you!

 

[Erik Geurts]

I'd laugh too, but it's actually not very funny...

[Jeroenski]

You are right. It is not funny at all. It is even a problem. Producers of Adblockers are in fact censors. Like Stasi, examining sites and removing or suppressing what they do not like. Adblockers are violating the freedom of speech/expression of the publishers.

At the same time, users do not want to be tracked ore traced.
