Hi Prakash

Actually, the new 2.3 Beta does cater for Openads 2.0.11-pr1 users. You’ll find it very easy to upgrade your system using the new install/upgrade wizard.

For more information, check out the 2.3 Openads product page

We’re always interested in feedback so let us know what you think!!

Hi there,

Openads 2.3 is still in beta. It is being use in production by many customers (eg. http://www.sugababes.com ). The new Beta upgrade wizard supports upgrades from Openads 2.0.11-pr1 so you will have no problems. However, you may prefer to wait until it’s officially released as stable which isn’t too far off now.

This is a decision you would need to make for yourself.

For more information on the 2.3 Beta, please refer to the product page

Hi Tobias,

It is, of course, NOT a requirement that you replicate all of your setup if you want to upgrade from Openads 2.0 to Openads 2.3 beta! Openads 2.3 beta can upgrade your existing Openads 2.0 installation, and migrate all of your data across. As I say above, if you are having problems with this, please use the forums for support.

Openads 2.3 beta does have new zone invocation tags with new features - however, we have worked hard to ensure that your old Openads 2.0 zone invocation tags will still work after you have upgraded to Openads 2.3 beta.

Hi Tobias,

I have no idea what’s wrong!

Why don’t you create a post on the forums, and then we can talk about your problems in detail there, and get you up and running.

Thanks!

No, it is not recommended that Openads 2.0 users upgrade. Openads 2.3 beta is, as the name suggests, beta software. We would not recommend it for a production system (although many people are successfully running it in production).

Unless you want to trial the new beta version, and help us find bugs, test out the new features, etc., then you should continue to use Openads 2.0 until such time as we release a new stable version.

Hi all

well … so I have to install OpenAds 2.3 next to my “old” version and I have to setup all campaigns again???

Is this correct?

I thing, it’s a lot of work - really a lot of work, to copy and setup all the campaigns.

What about the banner-tags? Are they the same in OpenAds 2.3 as in OpenAds 2.0.11-pr1 ???

Greatings,

Tobias

I don’t think its meant for Openads 2.0.11-pr1 users.

Quote “we recommend all 2.3 beta users upgrade.”
