OpenXBridge is a PHP application that will communitcate with Commission Junction, in the future other advertising hosts will also be supported, and download the banner adverts into a localy hosted OpenX installation.

OpenXBridge is currently at version 1.9.9.9 which will be the last release candidate before version 2 is complete.

All tests are proving this RC to be stable and reliable, so unless information comes in that something is missing or wrong this will be the same as version 2 when it comes out.

Updates - October 17th

OpenXBridge is currently at version 1.9.9.9 and while it is stable and perfectly functional there are still areas where it excels and other where it struggles.

Updates - November 9th

OpenXBridge just hit version 1.9.9.9.2. I had planned that the next launch would be 2.0 but we're not there yet. There are no new features in ...9.2 but full installer support for OpenX 2.8.1. So if you've installed Bridge already you want need to update to this version, just wait for version 2.0

Currently the biggest problem facing users is the web UI. The automated installer is doing it job and does it well, but after that the browser interface is struggling with the extreme load and about of time taken to download all the link from Commission Junction and proccess them. I am working on this now and hope to resolve the issues by the time 2.0 comes out but that is looking firther away than I was hoping it would be.

If you are comfertable using a unix/windows command line then you are currently able to make full use of OpenXBridge by running the command "php5 ./index.php --app=cj --action=fullrun" which will download all thinks from Commission Junction and add them to OpenX

This week OpenX launched version 2.8.2, from what I can see this new version should cause no problems to OpenXBridge however I am yet to find the time to upgrade my own OpenX installation so have been unable to test it as yet. If you experiance any problems please let me know about them and ill get them fixed. If need be ill push and update out of cycle to make sure that command line support still functions with OpenX 2.8.2.

In the mean time all I can do is ask for your passiance. I am working to improve the browser interface in the hope that OpenXBridge can save all Commission Junction publishers with OpenX time and money.
