• I am hoping someone her can help me as I have literally spent 36 hours this week trying to get advertisements from a new OpenX Hosted account flowing through to my WordPress site.

    For some time now I have used the Advertising Manager plugin to manage the ads on my site Celluloid Junkie. Before that I used the AdSense Manager plugin. They were and are great plugins and thank you for developing them. Up until recently I have only ever needed to manage Google Adsense through the Advertising Manager plugin. There are two ad-slots on my site, a 728 x 90 leaderboard at the top of the page and a 250 x 250 square in the sidebar.

    Using Advertising Manager I created an ad named “header-ad” which displays all the Google AdSense ads perfectly. Recently, we struck a deal to co-sponsor an event with the Hollywood Reporter which requires us to serve up a leaderboard ad. I created an OpenX Hosted account, set up the website and zone, created an advertiser, a campaign and added a banner to the campaign. I followed all the steps in the documentation for OpenX Hosted and watched all the tutorials (even the one that runs 60 minutes).

    I created another ad using Advertising Manager and this time imported the following invocation code from OpenX Hosted to create another ad named “header-ad”:

    <!–/* OpenX Javascript Tag v2.8.1 */–>

    <!–/*
    * The backup image section of this tag has been generated for use on a
    * non-SSL page. If this tag is to be placed on an SSL page, change the
    * ‘http://d1.openx.org/…&#8217;
    * to
    * ‘https://d1.openx.org/…&#8217;
    *
    * This noscript section of this tag only shows image banners. There
    * is no width or height in these banners, so if you want these tags to
    * allocate space for the ad before it shows, you will need to add this
    * information to the <img> tag.
    *
    * If you do not want to deal with the intricities of the noscript
    * section, delete the tag (from <noscript>… to </noscript>). On
    * average, the noscript tag is called from less than 1% of internet
    * users.
    */–>

    <script type=’text/javascript’><!–//<![CDATA[
    var m3_u = (location.protocol==’https:’?’https://d1.openx.org/ajs.php&#8217;:’http://d1.openx.org/ajs.php&#8217;);
    var m3_r = Math.floor(Math.random()*99999999999);
    if (!document.MAX_used) document.MAX_used = ‘,’;
    document.write (“<scr”+”ipt type=’text/javascript’ src='”+m3_u);
    document.write (“?zoneid=57325”);
    document.write (‘&cb=’ + m3_r);
    if (document.MAX_used != ‘,’) document.write (“&exclude=” + document.MAX_used);
    document.write (document.charset ? ‘&charset=’+document.charset : (document.characterSet ? ‘&charset=’+document.characterSet : ”));
    document.write (“&loc=” + escape(window.location));
    if (document.referrer) document.write (“&referer=” + escape(document.referrer));
    if (document.context) document.write (“&context=” + escape(document.context));
    if (document.mmm_fo) document.write (“&mmm_fo=1”);
    document.write (“‘><\/scr”+”ipt>”);
    //]]>–></script><noscript><img src=’http://d1.openx.org/avw.php?zoneid=57325&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&n=a92cde72&#8242; border=’0′ alt=” /></noscript>

    Even when this new “header-ad” slot or zone is weighted heavily, it is not showing up. Instead the header collapses showing no ad at all. Does anybody know how to set up OpenX Hosted to run through Advertising Manager properly? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
