You have a very good idea, but it’s almost 1 year since you published this post and the latest version of OpenX 2.8.7. I am not able to find good documentation of creating plugins, I would love to create plugins for OpenX but the information I’m getting is not enough for creating a plugin. I used the plugin development tool but I am simply not understanding how to build a package from the file created by plugin builder and use it.

It would be nice if you could guide me to any good documentation so that I can start building plugins.

Thank you.

I agree that the plugin documentation is far from being good. I guess you have alread checked what is available on the OpenX wiki.

That said, if you wish, I could be available for consulting on plugin related matters. And of course the AdserverPlugins.com team is more than willing to discuss any interesting idea that could be tunred into a standard plugin.

I am talking with OpenX directly at the moment. Would be great if you could get in touch.

Merry xmas and happy new year!

Here’s a plugin I’ve been waiting on for about 9 years (since PhpAdsNew): The ability for advertisers to signup, submit ads and have their ads/campaigns put into a queue for manager review. Gosh that would make my life easier!

Wishing you the best with this new site!

Ever since the release of OpenX Ad Server v2.8 in April 2009, developers have been able to make third party plugins to enhance the functionality of the software. The concept is simple, but we are not seeing a flow of plugins yet. We intend to break thr…

Thanks for your message. I’d like to ask you to contact us so we can create a page here, describing your plugin with a link to your site.

Thank you for your comment (this is referring to the plugin that’s mentioned in the Statistics as Graphs post). We’re going to be collecting all feedback and suggestions and use those to decide what to put in a future version of this plugin.
