There is a version of a module at http://www.openx.org/en/openx-module-for-drupal that seems to be working differently than the one hosted here. I'm not sure exactly why, but I had some issues trying to get my installation (drupal 6) working when using the latest module from drupal. The "code" entry box baffled me - I didn't find clear/adequate instruction on what was expected within the code area, but most things I used didn't work. However, when I added the code snippet from openx into the template, all manually created blocks and automatically created blocks through this "6.x-1.0" on drupal.org's module worked.

When I installed the other module from openx, it has less configuration options and worked right out the gate.

so besides confusion from having two similar modules available, and my lack of understanding on how it should work, maybe there should be just one module? or perhaps some documentation on this module.

Pritish,

i talked to Chris Nutting and we decided to unify the modules. So this OpenX module (but not OpenAds) is now synced (i hope :P)

OpenX module eliminated the "Code" field. It relies only on Zone ID.

regards,

massa

awesome news! I hope this means the documentation will be unified as well.

thanks for your contributions.
