Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted February 19, 20177 yr Hi, I started profiling a bit my database, and notice that I have lot of query that update the impression for the advertisement space IPS\core\_Advertisement::updateImpressions Update are very expensive request, and I don't need these functions at all. How to disable it ? Thanks,
February 20, 20177 yr I agree - there should be a setting in the advertisement settings to disable impression tracking/counting. For those of us that are using 3rd party ad server code - this is a non-stop update query running on every ad unit that we will never ever use since our external ad server is doing all the counting for us. We're only using the ads in IPS to lay in the ad server code (or even adsense ad units). It would be nice to have a toggle setting either for the entire adverts module, or even on a per-advert level to shut off this counter and save the server resources.
