McColley Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 I'm a web designer with a client who wanted to use Revive as a Self Serve Ad Buying platform across a number of sites he owns. I discovered Revive, put it on a server to test and fell in love. I have a client with a network of sites that he wanted to sell ads on. When I visited what I thought was the best-known plugin developer, I found many plugins that seemed to overlap in purpose. But I figured that I couldn't be the first to want this functionality. So I asked a question: "What plugins do I need to turn Revive into a self-service platform." I got a reply listing 4 plugins. The client approved the $240 and we waited. Instead of plugins to Revive, I received a collection of files to copy directly into the system. That should have been my first clue. I next discovered all the files were encrypted. The pages created were horribly designed and we couldn't change them. I complained and got some unencrypted files. I soon discovered the functionality was as poor as the design. I could create an ad package and you could log in and buy it. But there is no way to see what was purchased for the buyer - or the admin. I complained and got a few new files and some of them were unencrypted so I could style the pages - but there was still a lot of missing functionality. I started asking for a refund. Long story short, I was asked what the process should look like - so I laid out a simple workflow. Then I was told we would need to purchase the source code for a number 2.5 times our original investment. after at least a dozen emails I finally was told that buying the source code wasn't going to give me that functionality, instead would need to spend 10 times our original investment. I saw another post where a developer said they were unimpressed with a plugin maker. I wish I had seen it before dealing with this one. I think Revive is a great project but beware of the people trying to make money off of it with plugins that don't work. andrewatfornax and Dofini 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of course speaking for myself included too. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryWarrior Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) I been searching for that too @Display Name Like a list over approved and verified developer companies that does a good job out there for their clients in terms of Revive server. It would be nice if Revive team created such list! ? Edited October 25, 2018 by AngryWarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am considering getting plugins from https://www.reviveadservermod.com but most of the description of their plugins overlap and no reviews from previous customers, having second thoughts now.

Ian vM Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I'm not here to flame anyone, I can recommend the plugin creator I stated earlier in the message you've quoted me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know which "best-know plugin developer" u are talking about! And I say thank you because when I discovered Revive, I also fell in love and then look for plugins to make revive "perfect" and I found that "best-know plugin developer".
