Developing a plugin for OpenX

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

Question:

I was browsing through Plugins documentation, it is really hard to understand how or where to start to develop a plugin. Is there anyone who have already developped plugins & got sucess for OpenX platform?

Answer:

Yes it is difficult to find any tutorials or any docs for plug-in development since OpenX didn’t released it. But not to worry about it, we can help you to find better solution. We have experience in developing plug-in for OpenX and have developed several plug-ins for our clients & can assure you quality solution.

Recently we have developed a one of our major plug-in for client Knewco. It’s called KnewcoKnowNow plug-in for OpenX users. It is a custom plugin for OpenX will allow users to opt-in to the KnowNow! service and have the KnowNow! code delivered along with ads on selected websites. The plug-in is compatible with openx version 2.8. This plug-in is implemented with upgrade feature & also data backup-restore feature when the plug-in is uninstalled. You can download the plug-in at our client site, http://openx.knewco.com

OpenX API for Add and Modify Advertiser Using XMLRPC

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Question :

We would require a .php class/page that uses the OpenX api to add a new contact into our OpenX server. I have a simple skeleton of the .php functionality we need, hopefully this will just be a matter of you finding appropriate code in your library and plugging it in.

We require the source code delivered on completion of the project.

We would like this project to be started as soon as possible.

Various Details

Ad Server:       OpenX v2.8.5

Code Version:  PHP 5

Web Server:     IIS 7.0

Attached is a copy of the code we have from an example on the OpenX site. We need the Add Advertiser and Modify Advertiser functions to work. We have not been able to correctly use them.

Answer:

We can create the plug-in for you to Add Advertiser and Modify the Advertiser details.

We assume that we you are having the built ready Forms to create the Advertiser Sign up and modify. And we are providing only the API Code file that supports the Add and Modify Advertisers.

The Sample Code that you have provided uses the XMLRPC and we will create the API that supports XMLRPC to use in the remote servers.

Duplicate Conversions in OpenX

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

Question:
I am new to openx, sorry my bad English, need much help, my problem is with the meter conversion, he is counting more than one conversion per IP adress, and honestly saw no solution to the problem in the system because the conversion function to block the same IP dont exist, leaving the various statistics and triple duplicate conversions, I use the version 2.8.1. My question is: is there a solution?

Answer:

I think you want to block IP address for X time for conversion to avoid duplicate conversion from same IP. We can have one more file which can be run in cron and it will delete all duplicate conversion and will add IP address to block list.

yes, it’s basically what you described, I want a mod to lock conversions duplicated, they need not come to be counted in the statistics of my server.

This feature is available at

Question:
How do manage flash games through openx?

Answer:
This feature is not exist in the openx. But, If we can customize then we can create this feature.

We have one plugin FLV mod. This plugin is supporting to all flash files.

This feature is not available in Openx. By installing this mod you can have this feature.

Using this mod Advertisers can upload FLV banners. By installing this mod advertiser will get one more option in Add Banner page to add FLV banner.

This “FLV Banner for Openx ” will enable you to add “flv banners ” and flash files.

This feature is nice and new in Openx.

OpenX vs 3rd Party Impressions / Clicks

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Question

I would like more detail on how you plan to rationalize the Imps/clicks #’s seen by our OpenX vs. 3rd party. Do you have a guess as to why there is such a gap between our numbers and the 3rd party’s now? Also, if you can rationalize the figures between the two sources, will this be an option we can turn on/off to see the rationalized/uniform #’s or will our OpenX always show the same #’s as the 3rd party once we implement? Can you provide more insight into what you plan to implement?

Answer

As you are displaying ads by image tag then OpenX should have same stats as adtechus.com (it can have 1 to 5% change only but it should not have 100% difference as you mentioned).

(JavaScript type of adcode which is not compatible with OpenX may have problem but image type of ad-code should not have problem in stats.)

If it needs then we can format adtechus code such that both can track clicks and impressions and shows correct and less differenced stats.

Call OpenX API with Publisher ID and return results in JSON format

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Question:

Could you size the following work and let me know the effort involved in completing it please?

We need a new process that would call the OpenX API’s with a Publisher ID and return a complete inventory of the zones (zone name, zone ID) related to that Publisher in JSON format.

As this is read-only, does it require security credentials to log into to OpenX, or can it be done without secure login being invoked?

Answer:

Yes, We can do this work. There are two options we have.

Option 1:

If we use OpenX API then it requires login information to get all information of zones. Implementation of functionality based on OpenX API will take 5 hours.

Option 2:

If you don’t want to use login information to get zone information then we need to implement first our API which will skip login checking and gets all zone information. Implantation of this functionality will take 10 hours.

Let me know which option do you want so we will start working on it.

Question:

Option 2 would be preferred without login. I would like to expand the requirement - in addition to the Publisher ID as input, can we also add a format indicator for the output ? Based on this value, the output data would then be either in JSON or XML format - we have a need for each type in different circumstances.

So (for example)

Input PubID, J —–> output in JSON ( Pub Id, list of all zones )

input Pub ID, X —–> output in XML (Pub ID, list of all zones)

Please provide time for this expanded requirement.

Answer:

Yes, we can add format type of results as parameter with publisher ID.

Implementation of this functionality will take 2 days.

Hide Banner After Clicking

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Question:

How do display a particular banner has been clicked by a user and if the advertiser don’t want to display that particular banner for some ‘t’ seconds?. Is this functionality in Openx?

Answer:
This functioinality is not existing in the openx. But, we provide plugin for this. This plugin is working for this.
We can set some time frame for the displaying banner.
The time after which the same banner could be displayed can be set by the administrator.
After a banner has been delivered, if the user click on the banner he can see that banner only one time, after that the user can not see that same banner again for some ‘t’ seconds.

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Question:

i am one of the advertiser. i need permission for adding new campaign to the advertisers. how can do this?

Answer:

This functionality is not exiting in the openx. So, We have created one plugin for this requirement.
The administrator can give the permission to the advertisers for creating campaigns by themselves.
This will not give global permission to all advertisers for creating campaigns.
Administrator can give the permission to advertisers whomsoever he wants.
