We have decided with such a huge demand for such a mod that perhaps it was time to release a version that did not require the purchase of RevMax or our prior plug-in for OpenAds 2. This page details where to get the mod, installation, it’s features, configuration, and actions.

First if you do not have the mod already simply stop by here and add it to your cart and check out. you will have instant download access after payment.

Installation

The next step as found in the install.txt is to either make a back up of the files you are to replace, or rename them for future reference.

Upload the included files into your OpenX admin directory. If your openx 2.6 install is at yourdomain.com/openx/ then the correct path to upload the included files to would be yourdomain.com/openx/www/admin/.

Once you have uploaded the modified files you will need to log in to OpenX as the default manager.

You will then need to make a decision as to what types of files and storage you would like to allow your advertisers to use.

Admin Configuration

Defining file (banner) storage:
Switch to administrator account.
Click “my Account” > click “global settings” > pull down list to “banner storage settings”.

Advertiser banner upload permissions:
OpenX Log in, switch to default manager account.
Click the “inventory” tab at the top center.
This should open up “advertisers and campaigns” screen.

If you do not yet have a advertiser to configure click “add advertiser” and configure a new advertiser account. Return to the “advertisers and campaigns” screen

Click the advertisers name and the advertiser properties screen will appear.
Click “User access”.

If you have not yet enabled an advertiser to log in to this account then take a moment to add a user account here by clicking “add user” and return to the “user access” screen.

Click “permissions” to the right of the advertisers name you would like to enable banner uploads for.
This will open the “user properties” screen.

Check the box entitled “Allow this user to modify his own banners “.
Click save changes.

Warnings:
Any advertiser you may have already added and have checked this box for will now have permission to upload banners to their account. Take a moment to review your already configured advertiser accounts to ensure you do not enable permissions that you would not wish.

Advertisers perspective

After deciding what types of banner storage to allow for your advertisers, and adding the permissions to the advertiser account the advertisers will be able to add banners using that storage method as shown below from the advertisers perspective.
