Also note: as stated by user below - "Problem is: there is no Administer Configuration >> Banner Delivery Settings anywhere to be found!!! So where is it???" - the answer is that it's in OPENX ad system - not my module. If the OpenX people change how it's set up, you will have to look for it but if your already got OpenX running, you really only need to change "yoursite/openx/www/delivery" to what your address is, leaving "/www/delivery" alone.
OpenX Advert Plus Module creates a code zone that pulls ADs to a position from an OpenX AD server. It also has the capability to give you contextual ads (ads associated with dynamically pulled keywords to tell it what to display).
Module has 4 modes to operate by:
1. Normal AD Mode (Javascript invocation)
2. Article Keywords
3. Title Keywords
4. Iframe timed rotation
5. Single Call Method (NEW)
Follow the instructions for setting up source targeting mode in OpenX Ad system to use the article meta keywords or Title keywords option. Use this with other plug-ins like Content Search SEO Plugin for Joomla and you can get contextual ads on search as well.
I cannot even start using this module, because of the bad documentation and lack of support option. there is no email address anywhere to ask questions and no forum!
In the documentation it says:
"2. The URL for the AD delivery (under OpenX Administrator configuration - Banner delivery settings - you will find a URL that looks like this 'yoursite/openx/www/delivery' but with your actual URL path - you do not need the http:// when you put it into the module)"
Problem is: there is no Administer Configuration >> Banner Delivery Settings anywhere to be found!!! So where is it???

Owner's reply
Sorry I no longer support this item (and I will make that clear on the site) but not sure what the confusion is - all configuration is in the module itself (as all modules work). Here is a screen of the module parameters:

If your not seeing that - then there's a problem with your install.
If you are using OpenX Ad Server, and looking for a simple ad mod.... this is it! I was up and running in a few minuets. No problems.... thanks!
Very quick and simple way of publishing OpenX ads onto a Joomla! site.
