Offerit Dynamic Text Banners

2013-03-06T19:17:29Z

JeffC: /* Custom Variables */

{{Offerit Manual
| show_creative_types_section = true
}}

The Dynamic Text Banners [[Ct#Creative|Creative]] type allows you to add custom text to an image banner through an automated process in [[Offerit]], providing an easy way to customize banners for different [[Ct#Affiliate|affiliates]] and [[Ct#Visitor|visitors]].

[[File:Admin_Banner_Adtools_Types.png|600px|Dynamic Text Banners in the Creatives Admin]]

In addition to allowing for custom text, Dynamic Text Banners can also take certain [[Smarty]] variables, allowing you to automatically tailor your banner ads to information acquired from your [[Ct#Affiliate|affiliate]] or [[Ct#Visitor|visitor]]. For information, please see the [[#Custom Variables|Custom Variables]] section below.

== Uploading a Dynamic Text Banner Image ==

You can upload a new image to be used as a Dynamic Text Banner through the [[Offerit Creatives Admin|Creatives Admin]]. Simply go to the [[Offerit Creatives Admin|Creatives Admin]] and click the "View Creatives" action icon next to the "Dynamic Text Banners" creative type.

On the next page, you will see a section labeled "New Dynamic Text Banners Creative." Use the available "Click to Browse for Image" link to upload the image file you wish to use for your new Dynamic Text banner.

[[File:Admin_New_Geo_Banners_Creative.png|600px|Adding a new Dynamic Text Banner]]

Once you have selected an image to use as your new Dynamic Text banner, you can decide what text you want to add to the banner with the "Details" settings under the "New Dynamic Text Banners Creative" section. Here, you can define the following settings:

* '''Default Text''' - Input the text you want to be displayed on your Dynamic Text banner. This field also accepts certain [[Smarty]] variables.
* '''Text Align''' - Choose if you want the text to be aligned to the left, center, or right.
* '''Vertical Align''' - Choose if you want your text to be at the top, center, or bottom of the banner.
* '''Text Size''' - Input your desired font size for banner text here.
* '''Text Color''' - Clicking the available field will bring up a color wheel, where you can select your desired font color.
* '''Text Font''' - Choose your desired font for the Dynamic Text banner.
* '''Text Angle''' - Allows you to skew your banner text at a selected angle.
* '''Text X Coordinate''' - Input the horizontal coordinates for your banner text.
* '''Text Y Coordinate''' - Input the vertical coordinates for your banner text.
* '''Text Max Width''' - Choose the maximum pixel width you want your banner to be displayed at.
* '''Text Max Height''' - Choose the maximum pixel height you want your banner to be displayed at.

Once you have defined all of the available fields, click "Add Creative" to add your new Dynamic Text Banner to [[Offerit]].

== Displaying a Dynamic Text Banner ==

Before you can include your new Dynamic Text Banner on one of your [[Ct#Offer|offers]], you must first add a [[Offerit Rules|"SHOW" rule]]. To do so, click on the "Add a new [[Offerit Rules|rule]]" action icon next to your new Dynamic Text banner. On the next page, simply add a "SHOW" rule type for the affiliate(s), commission(s), and offer(s) you want this banner to be enabled for. You can also choose to enable this banner for all affiliates, commissions, and offers. For more information on rules in [[Offerit]], please see our [[Offerit Rules]] wiki article.

[[File:Admin_Geo_Banner_Rules.png|600px|Adding a rule for your Dynamic Text banner]]

Once you create a "SHOW" rule for your new Dynamic Text banner, [[Ct#Affiliate|affiliates]] will be able to grab the [[Ct#Linkcode|linkcode]] for that banner through their Creatives page.

== Custom Variables ==

[[Offerit]] allows for certain [[Smarty]] custom variables to be used when adding text to Dynamic Text Banners. This allows for customized text in your banner, depending on the [[Ct#Visitor|visitor]] or [[Ct#Affiliate|affiliate]]'s location. You can output a visitor's country name, city name, area code, postal code, etc.

Supported [[Smarty]] variables include:

<pre>
$smarty->assign('country_code', $countrycode);
$smarty->assign('country_name', apache_note("GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAME"));
$smarty->assign('city_name', apache_note("GEOIP_CITY"));
$smarty->assign('region', apache_note("GEOIP_REGION"));
$smarty->assign('metro_code', apache_note("GEOIP_DMA_CODE"));
$smarty->assign('area_code', apache_note("GEOIP_AREA_CODE"));
$smarty->assign('latitude', apache_note("GEOIP_LATITUDE"));
$smarty->assign('longitude', apache_note("GEOIP_LONGITUDE"));
$smarty->assign('postal_code', apache_note("GEOIP_POSTAL_CODE"));
</pre>

The above examples define your [[Smarty]] variables, such as $country_code, $country_name, $postal_code, etc.


To output values for the [[Ct#Visitor|visitors']] locations, enter the necessary [[Smarty]] code in the "Default Text" field found when editing a Dynamic Text banner in the [[Offerit Creatives Admin|Creatives Admin]].

For example:
* <code>Welcome to {$country_name}!</code>
* <code>Find other people in {$city_name}!</code>

[[File:Downloadable_creative.PNG|425px|Adding a New Downloadable Creative]]

===File Upload Issues===
If you are having problems with creative file uploads (content zips, banner files, thumbnails) you may need to update your PHP settings. The default PHP settings will limit the size of files you can upload, and will need to be modified to allow the files you are using.

'''Note''': 'M' stands for megabytes
<pre>
post_max_size => 8M => 8M
upload_max_filesize => 2M => 2M
</pre>
If you are uploading 10M files, both of these values should be > 10M.
Additional settings that could cause problems are
<pre>
file_uploads -- must be enabled.
max_input_time
max_execution_time --must be long enough to allow the files to be uploaded and processed.
memory_limit -- must be ATLEAST as large as your post_max_size and upload_max_filesize settings. This affects all of php, and may need to be set higher than the others for other reasons.
</pre>
The above code is an example of PHP code that will help you get around these file size limits.

== Adding Thumbnails ==
In Offerit, you can choose the creative's thumbnail when you create or edit an creative. Upload the file you would like your thumbnail to be, or enter a URL from an image host of your choice.
