Invocation tags can be configured to operate in a number of different ways.
All invocation tags in Revive Adserver - both for zones and for websites - can be configured to operate in different ways. e
The table below lists all possible tag options for invocation tags.
Tag Option | Description | Supporting Invocation Tag Types |
---|---|---|
Automatically close after | This option defines how many seconds the pop-up/pop-under banner should be displayed for, after which time the pop-up/pop-under window should automatically be closed. When not set, the pop-up/pop-under window will not be automatically closed. |

Character set | TO BE DOCUMENTED |
|
Don't show the banner again on the same page | When enabled (i.e. Yes selected), then if a banner is displayed in a zone, then Revive Adserver will not allow that same banner to be displayed again in any other zone (or any repeat instance of the zone, if the zone is included on the page more than once) on the same page view. |
|
Don't show a banner from the same campaign again on the same page | When enabled (i.e. Yes selected), then if a banner is displayed in a zone, then Revive Adserver will not allow that banner or any other banner from that banner's campaign to be displayed again in any other zone (or any repeat instance of the zone, if the zone is included on the page more than once) on the same page view. |

Host Language | TO BE DOCUMENTED |

Include code to track Google AdSense clicks | In order for Google Adsense click tracking to work in an iFrame, Revive Adserver must set a unique cookie for each zone. When enabled (i.e. Yes selected), the zone invocation tag will create a cookie so that click tracking will work. Warning: A different cookie will be required for each iFrame, and using this setting may pollute your adserver's cookie space. Documentation note: This setting may not work, and needs to be checked. |
|
Include comments | Many Revive Adserver invocation tags are generated with comments which can help with understanding how to use the tags - for example, suggesting changes that may need to be made to the tag to work on an SSL secured site, additional information that may need to be added to set size information, script or program paths, etc. However, for users familiar with the use of invocation tags, these comments may not be necessary, and the comments may add unwanted size to the tags. When disabled (i.e. No selected), the invocation tags will be generated without these comments. It is recommended that tags be generated with comments in the first instance, and then re-generated without comments if necessary, after the comments have been reviewed. |

Initial position (left) | This option defines where the pop-up/pop-under window should be positioned on the user's screen with regards to the X-axis (left/right axis), relative to the underlying browser window. Both positive and negative integer values are permitted, where positive values indicate the number of pixels that the pop-up/pop-under window should be opened to the right of the left-most edge of the underlying browser window, while negative values indicate the number of pixels that the pop-up/pop-under windows should be opened to the left of the left-most edge of the underlying browser window. By default, pop-up/pop-under windows are opened without informing the browser where on the X-axis to position the window, leaving it to browser defaults. |
|
Initial position (top) | This option defines where the pop-up/pop-under window should be positioned on the user's screen with regards to the Y-axis (up/down axis), relative to the underlying browser window. Both positive and negative integer values are permitted, where positive values indicate the number of pixels that the pop-up/pop-under window should be opened underneath the top-most edge of the underlying browser window, while negative values indicate the number of pixels that the pop-up/pop-under windows should be opened above the top-most edge of the underlying browser window. By default, pop-up/pop-under windows are opened without informing the browser where on the Y-axis to position the window, leaving it to browser defaults. |
|
Insert Cache-Busting code | For non-JavaScript based tags, when enabled (i.e. Yes selected), the tag will be generated with one or more instances of the text " In the event that you do not have the ability to programmatically modify invocation tags, you can either disable this option or simply ignore the text, and leave it as generated - leaving the generated " Documentation note: Local Mode & XML-RPC tags - see https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver/issues/542 |

|
Option - SSL | Generating the Single Page Call tag for all zones in a website may potentially generate a large number of zone tags. To save having to change all of these tags manually for display on an SSL secured page, enabling this option (i.e. selecting Yes) will generate all of the tags with https:// support already in place. |
|
Pop-up type | This option defines if the banner should be displayed as a pop-up (where the banner appears in a new window on top of the user's current window), or a pop-under (where the banner appears in a new window behind the user's current window). Documentation note: Pop-unders may no longer be supported - see https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver/issues/551 |

Refresh after | TO BE DOCUMENTED |
|
Show text below banner | For those banner types that support it (SQL, web and URL only), enabling this option (i.e. selecting Yes) will allow the display of text below the banner, when defined in that banner's "Banner display > Text below image" option. If the banner displayed has no option set for the "Banner display > Text below image", or if the banner type does not support the display of text below the banner, this this tag option setting will have no effect. |

Store the banner inside a variable so it can be used in a template | By default, the local mode zone invocation tag selects a banner and outputs the necessary HTML to display this banner. By enabling this option (i.e. selecting Yes), the invocation tag will be generated in a format where the HTML required to display the banner will not be output. Instead, the HTML will be stored in the |

Use HTTPS to contact XML-RPC Server | Enabling this option (i.e. selecting Yes) will generate the XML-RPC zone invocation tag so that it uses SSL for the XML-RPC connection. Your Revive Adserver installation must be configured to respond using https:// calls on port 443 for this to work. |
|
XML-RPC Timeout (Seconds) | This option defines the number of seconds the XML-RPC tag should wait for a connection to your Revive Adserver before timing out and not displaying a banner. By default, XML-RPC tags are generated with a timeout value of 15 seconds. |
