Global settings - banner delivery

Go to Configuration > Global Settings > Banner Delivery Settings. From this screen an administrator can control the following:

Banner delivery cache settings:

• Time Between Banner Cache Updates (seconds): you can change the amount of time (in seconds) that OpenX allows before updating the banner delivery cache. The default value is 1200 seconds (20 minutes).
• Banner Delivery Cache Store Type: select between file-based or memcached caching of banners.

Banner Delivery Settings:

• Evaluate banner delivery limitations during delivery: this setting is enabled by default. If you disable this option you might experience an increase in the speed of banner delivery to your website(s).
• Obfuscate channel when delivering ads: this setting hides channel information when delivering banners.
• Allow PHP code in ads to be executed (Warning: Security risk): while it is possible to allow the execution of PHP code in ads, it should be noted that this represents a security risk.
• 3rd Party Click Tracking Delimiter: this value will be the default delimiter OpenX uses for tracking 3rd party clicks. See also: Third Party Click Tracking with OpenX.
• Global Default Banner Image URL: enter a URL for a banner that will display if OpenX has a problem displaying the intended banner. The default banner will not be logged, and will only be used if their are no active banners available in the database. This option should be viewed as a fail-safe only.

Invocation Defaults:

• Enable 3rd Party Clicktracking by Default: to enable 3rd party clicktracking, select a type from the dropdown menu. Options include:
  • Generic
  • Rich Media - Doubleclick
  • Rich Media - OpenX
