Issue Summary

Guys,

me and Chris Nutting (OpenX developer) did some revamping on the D6's version of this. There are some changes on this code:
* SEVERAL performance enhancements
* Admin page interface cleaner and much more simple
* Only Javascript method available (OpenX dev team reported that almost all users use JS)
* JS code only added when the page really have a ad
* Roles feature is gone since its possible to set the exactly same filter on block settings.

Note: we opted for naming the module as really "openx" instead the "openads". You might install/test it without uninstalling the current module.

regards,

massa

Out of curiousity what are the performance enhancements?

Dropping the other invocation methods is a mistake I think since OpenX supplies them why not support them? Removing functionality that is already in place makes no sense. The business I work for uses the XML-RPC method which is certainly faster than Javascript even with SPC (mentioned by the OpenX people in their own forum).

Was the roles feature dropped because of this:

@brmasse : i'm a bit confused, you seem to be the maintainer for the http://drupal.org/project/openx project, a duplicate of openAds. You post a zip containing openx on the issue queue of open ads. Please explain what is going on ? is this a suggestion to merge projects ?

I don't knwo which module i should go with...(??)

#3

XML-RPC is no longer offered by OpenX servers, as per http://openx.org/en/docs/hosted/userguide/iab in order to comply with IAB guidelines.

#4

It`s it the same: http://drupal.org/project/openx
I mean in terms of functionality!
