inAPP Ad Enabler Training July 2, 2013
Ad Enablers – An Introduction Overview • Common API for mobile rich media ads to run in mobile apps • There are numerous Enabler SDKs – many of which are now supported by MediaMind • Enabler APIs generally support ad interactions such as expand, collapse, click-through and video • Use of Enablers will prevent creatives from having their code re-written and updated every time it needs to run within a different app Enablers to Review: • MRAID 1.0 • DFP Premium (Based on MRAID 1.0 with slight adjustments) • mOcean (Based on MRAID 1.0 with slight adjustments) • ORMMA (released by R&D team… picked up by Custom Dev)
inAPP Support for MRAID 1.0inAPP Support for DFP Premium Overview: • Provide inAPP support for MM Expandable & Banner ads running in an MRAID 1.0 or DFP Premium environment • DFP Premium supports MRAID 1.0 for iOS & Android 4.0+ • Functionality supported includes expand, collapse, click-through • Released Sept 2, 2012 within MediaMind Platform Test Apps: • MRAID: CNN (iPhone/iPad), inMobi (Android, iPhone), Sound Hound (Android, iPhone) • DFP: DFP test app (iPhone, Android), Major Issues resolved prior to release: • Click-throughs not showing up in reports • Support for MRAID close button/hotspot (Template updates) • Interactions sent multiple times • Final queued up interactions not being sent out • Custom click-throughs not working New EB Command Module • EBCMD module setup for inclusion in creative (see slide)
inAPP Support for mOcean SDK Overview: • Provide inAPP support for MM Expandable & Banner ads running in an mOcean environment • App provided by mOcean allows different ad ids to be entered for testing • Functionality supported includes expand, collapse, click-through Issues resolved this sprint: • Determined that mOcean expandable ads could not be set up as MRAID placements even though mOcean was based on MRAID • mOcean had positioning issues different than MRAID that needed to be addressed
Expandable Format (Support EBCMD Module) Overview • Expandable format maintained on the Custom Development portal • Portal includes workspace, demo link and documentation • Updated to include EB Command Module • EB Command module handles events sent to creative for expanding or collapsing the ad (as seen with MRAID inAPP Expandable ads) • Updated workspace should be used for all expandable ads going forward Demo Link
ORMMA Support Key Highlights: • Trained by R&D with ORMMA support in Nov. 2011 • Review of functions overridden in ORMMA.js • Building and testing of ORMMA workspace ads within the ORMMA testing site on Safari Browsers • Not provided with ORMMA test apps, but have trouble-shooted ORMMA test apps in the past year
Setting up Enablers in Platform Overview: • Download the appropriate creative from Quickbase • For expandables, modify the creative to either use a custom close button or the default MRAID/DFP close button (with MRAID/mOcean, default close button can be hidden, but not for DFP) • MRAID Default button will be hidden but may be shown with the following creative code: • additionalConfig = { • useCustomClose: false • }; • Put ad in mobile placement and select appropriate application (see image)
Known Issues / Open Issues MRAID • After doing a click-through, the landing page is often loaded inside the banner ad (in addition to opening a click-through window) • As seen in GreyStripeiOS App • Problem tracked down to an R&D change with the function EB._openWindowIfNeeded() … consulting with R&D on the next steps • Click-throughs are being counted as interactions • As seen in Rhythm New Media iOS app (Still waiting on app to perform our own testing… have made changes & re-tested with Certification)
Coding Topics to Review • ORMMA • ORMMAReady() • adConfig.openWindow = false • openPage() • expand() • collapse() • MRAID (default close button or custom close button) • useCustomClose • mraidExpand • iframeCCRef._sendMessage("collapseAd", {}); • DFP (not support android under 4) • override showOnlyImage for android devices • mOcean (positioning issue fix using bocAlign) • use boxAlign style on body tag • EBCMD module • Known Issues • MRAID click-through is not tracked correctly • Click-through is open in both App and placement
Case Study Expand half way Fix expansion Banner • Tips • use Fiddler to redirect the resource files for the debugging • always check to see if ormma, mraid is available • alert() and log may not available in App, create a div for the debug output instead • remove App to clean up the cache in App • video support is not available for current enabler
