We make use of banner ads on our website as a stream of revenue. When porting our application across to ezPublish, we need to consider how this will impact us.
I would like to find out from the community what the best solution is likely to be.
- Integrate a 3rd party product such as phpads
- Try to port a 3rd party product such as phpads across to ezPublish
- Write a custom module for exPublish What solutions have others on this forum used?

phpads is the way to go .. it is quite cool. Why do you need a port to ez publish? Just use this as a external app to your site and make some addition to the code e.g. workflow checkout

I am using phpAdsNew, a newer and robust version by the same Author of phpAds (as far as I know). I invoque the banners with javascript remote invocation (a term defined in the documentation of phpAdsNew), So i have no problems all. The Javascript code is included in templates. I am using also Advanced Poll but here I had to include calls from php directly, and show the results in a pop-up to bypass problems related to maintaining state. Hope that helps.

Are there any other Ads systems out there, maybe some that can integrate with eZ reporting, etc.?
phpAdsNew looks really good, has anyone done any integration work or tested it for issues? Tony

We have made a simple integration with phpadsnew. Just created a banner class with title (text line) and banner code (text field). In phpadsnew you can create an invocation code in javascript which you just paste into the banner code text field and in the template you just output the javascript from the banner code text field. As I said, a really simple integration. Ole.

We are using phpadsnew for a number of sites and most recently an ezpublish site. As Ole has said the integration is really simple. We have added a 'advertising keyword' attribute to content classes that allows the publisher to influence what banners appear on a specific page. It would be relatively easy to incorporate the statistics into ezpublish as these are stored in a database and can be read. Though is this something that you really want to do?
Cheers

Hi Bruce, I think you are right. It doesn't make sense because phpadsmyadmin has a really nice admin interface. And - at the moment - it's not possible to integrate phpadsnew in ez3 without altering the source code of phpadsnew. (I mean a "real integration" without using javascript code) I use phpads too. If I have more time, I will make a template operator to include banner code in ez3 without using javascript. By the way, the documentation of phpadsnew is great.
Kind regards,
Emil.
Best wishes,
Georg.

Thanks for the info, the interface for the phpAdsNew is very good.
The area where I would like to see the integration is from a single sign-on perspective. So you do not need to login to eZ and then the compaign mamager. The datatype for the add campaign is a really good idea as well. Thanks Tony
