Hi,

I just have your dlls. If you don’t mind can I extend your library ? Would you please give me your source code.

Thanks & Regards,

Ho Indrani, it looks like the properties you’re looking for aren’t exposed through the OpenX XML-RPC interface.

It would take a quite a bit more hacking up of their implementation (which would break after an upgrade) and an enhancement to my library to implement what you’re looking for.

Sorry, I know that’s not what you want to hear.

Hi,

With regard to Banner, could you please help me to map attributes like Alt Text / Keywords / Text below / Status Text etc.

Banner banner = new Banner();
banner. // I DON’T FIND ANY APPROPRIATE PROPERTIES TO MAP THE AFORESAID ATTRIBUTES

Thanks & Regards,

@Indrani, well after some digging it appears that this is a bug in the OpenX XML-RPC implementation. They aren’t pulling the value for website as they do the other fields that are populating correctly.

Here’s a hack to try and get this to work if you really need it. It’s modifying the OpenX code so it will get wiped out if you do any updates plus I take no responsibility if it breaks something else

Under your OpenX installation, open /lib/OA/Dll/Publisher.php

At line 209 in my version, I’d insert a new line after as follows:
$publisherData["website"] = $oPublisher->website;

I haven’t tested it but it appears that’s what’s missing to get the website data stored correctly.

Hi,

After running the aforesaid code, when I go to OpenX, for the Publisher newly created the Web Url remains empty although other properties like name/contact/email are populated.
How do I set the WebUrl as “newPub.website = “http://www.google.com”;” doesnt seem to work.

Thanks & Regrards,

Hi,

Thanks, I will try that.

Currently,while adding a Publisher, the Web Url for the Publisher is not getting created.

My Code:

//PUBLISHER :
Publisher newPub = new Publisher();
newPub.publisherName = “My Example Website”;
newPub.comments = “”;
newPub.agencyId = 1;
newPub.contactName = “John Doe”;
newPub.emailAddress = “johnd@example.com”;
newPub.website = “http://www.google.com”;
newPub.publisherId = ox.AddPublisher(newPub);

How do I add the Web URL ?

Thanks & Regards,
Indrani
