Comment: Added row for {img_url_prefix} macro

The Revive Adserver software supports a number of macros. These are placeholders that can be placed into the content of an HTML banner or in a banner's destination URL. When the banner is delivered (displayed), these macros will be replaced with the corresponding value in real time.

Below is a list of the macros currently supported by the Revive Adserver software.

MacroDescription
{clickurl}

Substituted by the click tracking URL for the delivered ad
example: https://…/delivery/ck.php?oaparams=2__bannerid=…

Note: starting with version 5.1.0, the click tracking URL has been changed. The file is now cl.php and the parameters now follow the usual conventions with ampersands. See the release notes for more information.

{clickurl_enc}

This is a URL encoded version of the clickurl macro.
{clickurl_html}This is an HTML version of the clickurl macro.
{clickurlparams}

Substituted by the parameters which would be passed to the {clickurl}
example: 2__bannerid=X__zoneid=Y__source=cat123/cat456__cb=0d9139d879__maxdest=

Note: this macro has been removed from the application with the release of v5.1.0 on January 19, 2021. See the release notes for more information.

...

  • For core macros ending in id – The value zero is used
  • For other core macros – An empty string is used
  • For “ANY_INPUT_VARIABLE” macros – The macro string is left unchanged in the HTML

If either {logurl} or {logurl_enc} are detected in an HTML ad,  Revive AdServer will not log an impression, but will pass the logging URL on to a 3rd party and rely on them to call-back using the logurl provided.
