HTML5 Banner not working since update to 5.2.1 - Link broken

[w-sky]

Hello, we were using a few HTML5 banners but as it seems, since updating to Revive 5.2.1 those are not working correctly any more. The banners still display fine, but the link on click is broken, this is an example link:

https://www.hanfjournal.de/openx/www/images/5d5132924a96e18d55a541ebe5fa2af0/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hanfjournal.de%2Fopenx%2Fwww%2Fdelivery%2Fcl.php%3Fbannerid%3D251%26zoneid%3D0%26log%3Dno%26sig%3Ddb36aed1622db195420c0b9c1cbfa7b918d62b0d62f4e65b8bc1779544b44e31%26oadest%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.hanfzart.de%2F

The actual destination is https://www.hanfzart.de/

How can we fix this?

Is it possible that I am the only one having this problem? The effect is clear: The linked URL starts with the actual URL of the image itself then followed by the almost correct delivery URL, but encoded. Somehow the image URL is pushed in front of it.

 

Have the requirements changed for the HTML5 banner file? I am using a .ZIP file which was created with Google Web Designer. I can't see any other options in Revive to control the link behavior and the saved target link in banner settings is correct.

PS: This is the clicktag script which Web Designer is using:

var clickTag = "{target URL}";
window.open((function(url, param, defVal) {
  var p = url.split('?');
  p = p.length < 2 ? "" : p[1];
  var vars = p.split("&");
  var res = defVal, v;
  for (var i = 0; i < vars.length; i++) {
    v = vars[i].split('=');
    if (v.length < 2 || v[0] !== param) {
        continue;
    }
    res = decodeURIComponent(v[1]);
    break;
  }
  return res;
})(window.location.href, "clickTag", clickTag));

I am having same issue

We finally got HTML5 banners working again with Revive. Unfortunately I cannot say what exactly the source of the problem was.

My colleague re-created the banners using the latest version of Google Web Designer where he specifically checked the click tag settings before exporting. Important is to use the "export" option of Web Designer, not the "save" option to create the final .zip file.

Also we have noticed that there might be problems with the click tag that depend on the browser or browser version. With Chrome based browsers there seem to be the least problems.
