In this 3 part series, I’ll be showing the basics of getting OpenX to work in Thesis. This tutorial assumes you have OpenX installed as well as Thesis OpenHook.
As time permits I will get more in-depth with my screen-casts – such as: “How To: Show Banners on a Specific Category”, and “How To: Show One Advertiser Across A Blog Network” and etc…
Part 1 – Getting Started
In this screen-cast I will show you how to:
- Setup an Advertiser
- Build a Campaign
- Add a Banner
Part 2 – Zones
In part 2 of the series, I will show you how to:
- Add a Website
- Create a Zone
Part 3 – Deployment
In the final installment, I’ll explain:
- Setup of the <div> tags for customization and positioning
- Insertion of the OpenX Invocation Code
- Setup of the Custom.css
————- PASTE INTO HEADER HOOK: ——————
————- PASTE INTO CUSTOM.CSS: ——————
.custom #banner {
float: right;
}
For further help, feel free to comment below. Thank you for watching and I hope I’ve helped answer some of your questions!

Hi Harold,
I see an empty box too for the Header Hook info. Is there code to go in here Gregg, or is it missing?
Cheers

hey greg,
two points:
- the “PASTE INTO HEADER HOOK:” above is empty =P
- i am just thinking of a way to automate this process because i have to do this for more than one installation… so i am thinking i should hardcode these customizations into the thesis them itself, before i even uplaod them through ftp to each site (do you see any disadvantage to doing this?)
e.g) for the header, i would have say <div id = “topbanner”> </div>
and for the footer, maybe have <div id = “footbanner”> </div>
and for custom.css >>> .custom #banner {float: right;}
but comment them out with // until i actually use it
Woot! Thanks!
