Question:
Please see the points below -
We have 2 scenario -
Scenario 1 (For free users):
1. The master administrator (the owner of the domain, myself and all the domains in my email system) will manage the OpenX with his own campaign and will put the code in kind of his own control panel so that each and every outgoing email from that domain has an text or html advert attach to it whereever inserted (see below).
2. The master administrator should be able to specify through a control panel where in the email body he wants his ad to appear:- Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Centre and after every each paragraph on the email body.
3) and should be able to control all other domains as well.
Scenatio 2 (For paid users (domain owners), who will receive emails of their own domain in Roundcube.
1. The user will manage his own ad’s, administrator (the owner of the domain) all ad will be managed by the domain owner. (same as above).
2. The user will be able to specify where he wants to put his own ad on the message body (same as above.)
In scenario 1 above the registered users (if they are not domain owners get percentage paid for any click they get on the advert which went through their email, so i should be able to see how much is the total amount earned through click and the amount which registered user have earned through the click on ads on emails. send an email alert to the registered users on monthly basis for the revenue they generated for themselves.
in scenario 2 above the domain owners (same as above) plus in this case they may have more then one email address in their own domian, so through their control panel they should be able track and view revenue they generated through different emails.
Answer:
We have gone through details which you gave us.
Let me explain you what we understood.
You have mainly four types of users (From the given two scenario, we assumed that you have four users and If we are wrong then let us know).
1) Administrator
2) Registered users who are domain owner
3) Registered users who are not domain owner
4) Unregistered Users
You want to attach advert in each mail sent by users (in defined position which will be decided by administrator).
You as administrator will decide campaigns for free users and domain users.
Registered users as domain owner will manage ads for their users (ads will be inserted by admin (you) only but domain owner can decide which ads should be display for their users). Domain owner should have one control panel where he can see which user has clicked on advert and he will get percentage of revenue from advert. This percentage will be decided by you (administrator).
But we need some clarification on your requirements.
1) We are confused with free and paid users terms which you used in scenario. Can you give more details on it?
2) I am confused with “scenario 2 – (2) point”.
The user will be able to specify where he wants to put his own ad on the message body (same as above.)
Can domain owner create his own campaign and banners?
I mean if he can create his banners to display in his users email then how will you get percentage of revenue.
(I am thinking that you mean administrator ads by “his own ads”, am I right?)
3) Do you want to use OpenX UI as domain owner control panel where he can see clicks and revenue earning?
More Answers:
we need to custom roundcube with multidomain support and ads should be display in each mail (in defined place by admin or domain owner.).
For normal users, administrator get control and revenue and for domain users, domain owner will get controls and percentage of ad revenue.
You have to do some manual work at time of adding domain in roundcube. We will try to make everything easy and with less configuration.
We will make UI for Adminstrator and domain owner where they can decide ads for their users and they can see clicks and earnings.
This will take approximately 30 days.
