Managing your own ads/blocks with OpenAds

J March, 2009 /

I want to track my own blocks of banners with OpenAds.

Also those blocks must be embeded in the page – so iframe is not a solution.

What I want is to have OpenAds to trigger and decide which ads block to display.

What I have done is to create a text add , take the local (php) invocation code and put it in the place where the add will be displayed. Also I have made some modifications in the original include PHP code – strip the escaping and keeping the tracking html code.

<?php
  //<!--/* OpenX Local Mode Tag v2.6.4 */-->

  define('MAX_PATH', '/home/domains/guda/ads/openx-2.6.4');

  if (@include_once(MAX_PATH . '/www/delivery/alocal.php')) {
    if (!isset($phpAds_context)) {
      $phpAds_context = array();
    }
    $phpAds_raw = view_local('', 4, 0, 0, '', '', '0', $phpAds_context, '');
  }

 if (!empty($phpAds_raw['html'])) {
	$openx_tracking = "";
	$code = preg_replace_callback('/(<div.*?<\/div>)/', create_function(
			'$matches',
			'global $openx_tracking; $openx_tracking = $matches[0];  return "";'
		), $phpAds_raw['html']);

	$code = html_entity_decode($code, ENT_QUOTES);

	ob_start();
	$payed_company = array();
	eval($code);
	$my_own_content = ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();

	echo $my_own_content;
	echo $openx_tracking;
  }
?>

Notice that the code is slightly changed.

And here is the text Ad content:

$payed_company = array("id" => "3617", "title" => '', "payed" => true);
include($_SERVER{DOCUMENT_ROOT}."/panels/payVitrina.php");

As you see this way you can “connect” the ads for a company with certain element from your page.

With this code you will be able to track the impressions of your block code.

Any help on the the tracking of the clicks will be welcome.

Wonderful XPath Tutorial

J March, 2009 /

It is total time saving to learn XPath from this tutorial – fast and not like the USA style books.

I have made a mirror on the tutorial because I aways forgot XPath

One server, two bind/named process, one domain (with two nameservers)

J February, 2009 /

Yes you need two bind instances

When you register a domain name you provide two nameservers.

Those nameservers the registrarar will know their ip addresses.

in my example the domain is cenite.com and the nameservers are ns1.cenite.com and ns2.cenite.com

Both nameservers are running on signle debian machine. I have started two bind processes on the machine. one is binded to the ns1.cenite.com external interface and ns2.cenite.com is to the other (backup) internet interface.

Here is a tool to check your domain name

Here is example zone file

cenite.com.db

cenite.com.ns2.db

here are the configuration files.

named2.conf

named.conf

The good think is when the first internet connection is down, the second will still serve your clients.

Bonus links

Go and switch to tinydns – people say it is much easier to configure  http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-server-bind.html

trial.thepiratebay.org

The trial against The Pirate Bay that [starts today] in Stockholm, Sweden are one of the most important issues of our time. Our adversaries basically wants to close down internets and remodel it into something similar of a sodamachine serving entertainment. During the trial, the prosecutor together with a coterie of representatives for a disabled business model will put up a tacky theater by telling stories designed to convince the court that The Pirate Bay infact is a menace to society. What differs this trial from most earlier trials is that everything in and surrounding it will whirl round and round in diverse channels of communication; to be discussed, reinterpreted, copied and critizised. Every crack in their appeal will be penetrated by the gaze of thousands upon thousands of eyes on the internets, in all the channels covering the trial. Old cliches from the antipiracy lobby wont stick. You won’t be able to say stuff like, ”you can’t compete with free” or ”filesharing is theft” without a thousand voices making fun of you. We will create numerous scenes where quite different plays will take place. In local channels like spectrial.bloggy.se where the immediate physical surroundings of the court are being discussed. ”Which cafés nearby will give us connection?” ”How can we get electricity to the bus?” But also in international channels like Twitter, where right now the torrent of information is being translated into fifteen different languages. Translations and coverage being made by ordinary users of internets. Volunteers sign up to make trial-tourist guides to the surroundings, drive the bus or hook up audio. People fly in from far away countries to cover the trial and tell the world their video story of the Sweden they see. Here all participants are potential actors in the Spectrial. Our channels form a meltingpot of reporting and engagement. Our communication around the spectacle aims in no way towards an objective report on an external chain of events. Rather, the trial is a hub around which a whole new network of actors is instigated. Neither is the spectacle a question of old media against digital, social medias. Our social medias include a paper fanzine and a 32 year old bus, connecting us and others physically. It’s not about the protocols nor the technology. It’s about using these to create new congregations, where anyone is invited and anyone can find their role, build new scenes and make their own performances. The future is built by us. Us who participate in conversations. The future is built by us who explore how information and performativity is coming together. To refuse a debate and still expect to be able to charge consumers is since long a closed door. To also try and outlaw certain types of conversations is downright disgraceful. The coverage of the trial is not unique in these qualities. More and more areas see the creation of conversations on and the exploration of new stances on culture and cultural economy. A gigantic collective exploration has set sails. Every route differs from the other. But they have one thing in common: The industry interests that the state is representing are never present in these conversations. This is why they wont be part in building the future. maintain hardline kopimi The Bureau for Piracy and The Pirate Bay via the internets this article was translated by proud peers of The Pirate Bay trial.thepiratebay.org
