Question:
I need custom openX invocation tags, could you quote how long would this take?
* I want to specify the page target only once in the section of the page (eg sports, nightlife)
* I want simple image ads to rotate without a page load
* I don’t want to specify the zone sizes (I have my own reasons)
* I want to run this with open x hosted
* I don’t want a banner to repeat on the same page
* I’m thinking that XML-RPC is the way to go although this isn’t part of open x hosted, I’ve emailed them to find out how much this access will cost. A div in the page that has the zone name as it’s id could be replaced in the DOM with new ad.
Answer:
We have analyzed your requirements.
Let me explain each invocation code characteristics.
Image type of invocation code will allow reloading but it will not allow to block image second times in page.
Iframe type of invocation code will not allow target ads globally and it may display same banner again on same page.
Xml-RPC invocation code will not allow reloading banner without refreshing page.
Javascript type of invocation code will not allow reloading banner but it will allow to target banner from header and block banner to display again on same page but it will not allow reloading banner without refreshing page.
Also, each modification requires to change in OpenX files. So, we can not integrate to OpenX hosted but we can do with your OpenX installation.
Do you want only 1 invocation code having all functionality or do you want individual invocation code with individual functionality?
Please give your clear idea so we can give you best matched feasible solution for you.

“However, a script could be written in any language to read and print the data returned by OpenX.”
The current XML-RPC is php, this has to run as the page is being built so it cannot reload the ads without a page load. However, a javascript XML-RPC function could be made to call a new ad each time it was called, this ad could then be inserted into the DOM. This would be an additional custom javascript. Repeating banners would then be a problem but I can live with that.
Can you do this?
Answer:
Yes, we can do this and I think you already know what limitation is for this type of invocation code (as you described).
We will make invocation code which will call other file which will have xml-rpc banner and it will replace div in every defined time.
Implementation of this custom invocation code will take 2 days.
