Wanted: Joomla! publishers to help test an OpenX module

Tags: OpenX
by Oliver George on May 9th, 2008

Earlier this year we sent out the call for feedback on what we should include in a Joomla!/OpenX module. Based on this we have developed a simple straight forward prototype module - one that makes it easy to integrate OpenX tags into a Joomla! site and use the native functionality to control where ads are displayed.

Can I try the Joomla!/OpenX module?
Yes! The module is currently in private beta and we are looking for more Joomla publishers to test it. Based on private beta feedback we expect to further develop the module before a public release.

[Update: We've had a great response already and are getting in touch with those who have registered already. We will continue collecting beta testers for when we are ready to open the private beta up more widely]

What about other content management systems?
This is the first of many CMS modules we’d like to develop. We are going to start with Drupal, Wordpress, Alfresco and eZ Publish since they are among the most popular according to OpenX publishers. Right now the product team is needs suggestions about what these modules should include, please send us your thoughts.

I want to write an OpenX module for XXX?
Awesome! We’d love to hear from you find out about your ideas. We might be able to give you some good advice and suggestions too.

Get in touch and tell us what you are planning

Hey guys and gals,

I haven’t tested it yet but there is a popular module that is available to integrate an install of openx with Drupal - so for anyone using, or interested in using, Drupal with Openx, check out:

Thanks Qasim

I’d be interested to hear what you see as the pros/cons and what extra features you think are missing from both.

cheers,

But why developping a Joomla module for Open Ads ?
In Joomla there is a component for Ads, where you can put the Open Ads Tag into.
I use it on my websites and there is no problem !

Exemple : Radio Espace

Hi Guillaume

It’s good to know there are otherways to ad add tags easily to Joomla.

I think our the OpenX module for Joomla could provided tighter integration over time but at it’s core is the same concept - choosing where ad tags get displayed using Joomla’s native functionality.

cheers, Oliver

Highest priority for us:
- bugfix: https://developer.openx.org/jira/browse/OX-1413 as we can not use it straigth for IE with flash banners
- banner forecasting system for the sales person; so he knows what he sold en which website has still free views available

Plugin for Typo3 would be nice; although with the current interface of openx it is working nice as well.
