Exoclick Ads Arent Shown On my Website

Hello Kulshreshtha,

thanks for reaching out to us!

Zone ID is the only mandatory parameter, you do not need to add Category nor site ID anymore.

I looked at your site and you are getting the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: $f.addPlugin is not a function
    at invideo.js?ver=5.6:1

It seems to be a faulty call from ExoClick. Please, submit that to Exoclick ads support.

Thanks,
Maria

Hello Kulshreshtha,

Exoclick ads might not be compatible with FV Player directly. But they are compatible with Flowplayer which is the video library used in FV Player.

The reason for that “$f.addPlugin is not a function” error is that your theme seems to define $f JavaScript variable. Then Exoclick ads script checks for that and assumes there is a $f.addPlugin() function.

I found $f is a common alias for the Froogaloop library and it seems to be bundled in your theme in this file: /wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/js/tagdiv_theme.min.js

So the issue is between Exoclick ads and your theme unfortunately.

But perhaps Exoclick does offer some newer code to display the ads. FV Player uses their https://ads.exdynsrv.com/invideo.js script – could you please check what ad code you get from Exoclick?

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Kulshreshtha,

is there really no way of getting a banner ad anymore? It doesn’t have to be specifically designed for video players as we can control the placement in FV Player (make sure it only loads and shows when video starts to not trigger any false impression tracking).

I had a look and I was able to get a 300×250 pixels Web Banner code which looked like this:

<iframe src="//a.exdynsrv.com/iframe.php?idzone=4170360&size=300x250" width="300" height="250" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Then I was able to use it on the second video here: https://foliovision.com/player/demos/exoclick-ad

If Exoclick are really VAST only you would need to buy FV Player VAST: https://foliovision.com/player/vast

Thanks,

Hello Kulshreshtha,

there is no intention in looting our clients. The information about certain ExoClick ad units being deprecated is new to us. Besides that it could work fine for you, except there is that conflict with your theme which is not related to FV Player.

That iframe code should be working for you. Please send us some URL where I can see it not working.

Thanks,
Martin

Hello Kulshreshtha,

currently we are getting no ads on https://foliovision.com/player/demos/exoclick-ad -> “Web Banner” either because we disabled a fair amount of ad categories. Is that your case too?

The situation here is unfortunate. The reason why the Exoclick ads supported by FV Player Pro are not showing is that script in your theme I was mentionin earlier – //cdn.foliovision.com/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/legacy/Newspaper/js/tagdiv_theme.min.js I tried to disable it on your website using developer ads and the Exoclick ads were still showing as empty. And if Exoclick says these are deprecated, then it’s hard to do something about it.

I’m also noticing you are trying to use the FV Player ad codes to insert a main_video.mp4 video ad using Fluidplayer. Perhaps this is were FV Player Pro can actually help you as it does support custom video ads: https://foliovision.com/player/ads/using-preroll-postroll-ads

Thanks,
Martin
