Ad Server

Orbee provides customers with the option to use an Ad Server to manage their digital media. The ad server provides a variety of capabilities. This includes providing customized content, specializations by keywords, campaigns, zones, and flights.

Installation

This plugin requires you to install orb elements wherever you want the ads to show up. This does require a couple things:

  • the ID of the orb element must match the installation instructions
  • the additional parameters (campaign, zone, etc.) should match up with what's expected. Orbee's Platform will explicitly specify these for you.

Info

Curious about the orb elements? Want to use DIV's instead? Check out the reference here.

Below is an example installation, put in a div element on a page. For convenience, we've provided both implementations (ORB element and DIV):

<orb id="orb-ad-{ORBEE_PLUGIN_ID}"
     data-type="ad-placement"
     data-plugin-id="{ORBEE_PLUGIN_ID}"></orb>

<div data-orb
     id="orb-ad-{ORBEE_PLUGIN_ID}"
     data-type="ad-placement"
     data-plugin-id="{ORBEE_PLUGIN_ID}"></div>

Configuration

This JavaScript plugin provides the following parameters for you to configure the ads that are available on the page:

Variable Type Required Description

ads[].networkID integer yes network ID provided by Orbee
