Adding Filters
|
|
**************
|
|
|
|
CSS Filering:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
If no blocking filters are required. A simple,
|
|
|
|
"winscript site: http://..." is only needed (no adzilla needed)
|
|
|
|
Filters:
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
If blocking/Whitelist filters are required (in either Firefox, Opera or Iron)
|
|
Using your adzilla login, add the site, and paste the ad url's involved (in the comments).
|
|
Once its been added,
|
|
|
|
"winscript adzilla: #xxxx" (xxxx being the record ID)
|
|
|
|
Adzilla is used for tracking of additions. So we can work out why blocking rules/whitelists
|
|
were added, helps with improving filters if problems occur down the track.
|
|
|
|
* Note: If a filter needs to be modified/modified, create a new Adzilla record, follow same directions as above.
|
|
In the comments, put down why the change was required. etc.
|
|
|
|
* Note: Once the filter has been uploaded to googlecode set the Adzilla record to be "Completed".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Browser specific Additions

|
|
|
Iron
|
|
****
|
|
|
|
Issues/Notes:
|
|
|
|
(1) Iron doesn't support wildcards
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
So www.website.com/*adbanner* wont work.
|
|
|
|
(2) Iron only supports full url (complete, unbroken urls)
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
Typing in complete urls, http://www.website.com/img/adbanner.jpg
|
|
|
|
(3) a "/" wont cover http://
|
|
------------------------
|
|
This wont work in iron, /adbrite.com/
|
|
Better to use http://adbrite.com or .adbrite.com (if it has a "." in front)
|
|
|
|
(4) Blocking a url, will stop the page from load it
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
Even if you visit the site manually, it won't load, be careful.
|
|
|
|
(5) Iron filters are case sensitive
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
So *adbanner* isn't the same as *adBanner* or *Adbanner* etc, a filter will
|
|
need to be created for each instantance. Best to *only* add the case involved.
|
|
Adding for each case just adds bloat, we only add filters that we'll come across.
|
|
|
|
(6) Filtering
|
|
--------------
|
|
* If the filter has http://www.adserver.com, just filter create the filter .adserver.com/
|
|
* If the filter is like http://site.com/banners.phps?, a filter using the http://.. is needed.
|
|
|
|
(7) Removal of filters
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Occasionally some filters can be problematic, if we do come across any issues. Browsing through Adzilla would
|
|
be a start, finding out why it was added, either improving the filter, removing it (depends on popularity).
|
|
Remember removing filters, the maintainer has to weigh up the importance of the site, the filter (and other sites affected).
|
|
Generally, be careful with any major changes or removals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Opera
|
|
*****
|
|
|
|
Issues/Notes:
|
|
|
|
(1) Avoid the use of the "=" in the urlfilter
|
|
---------------------------------------------
|
|
Just slows things down in Opera
|
|
|
|
(2) CSS filtering
|
|
-----------------
|
|
Basic CSS filtering is supported, but lacking in features like excemptions. Unless the filter is really popular
|
|
and causes plenty of false positives, we recommend disabling the CSS filter on sites that it may break.
|
|
|
|
(3) Blocking a url, will stop the page from load it
|
|
-----------------------------------------------
|
|
Even if you visit the site manually, it won't load, be careful.
|
|
|
|
(4) Opera filters support Wilcards.. however
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
Limit the amount of wildcards used 3 at the most, more wildcards the slower the content filter in Opera.
|
|
|
|
(5) Opera filters are case sensitive
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
So *adbanner* isn't the same as *adBanner* or *Adbanner* etc, a filter will
|
|
need to be created for each instantance. Best to *only* add the case involved.
|
|
Adding for each case just adds bloat, we only add filters that we'll come across.
|
|
|
|
(6) Filter preference
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Its better to create a filter like http://ad.filter.com/* rather than */ad.filter.com/* (its quicker)
|
|
|
|
(7) Removal of filters

Occasionally some filters can be problematic, if we do come across any issues. Browsing through Adzilla would
|
