SIZMEK GWD ERRORS

Uploading your banners into Sizmek gets annoying because GWD is a beta program with lots of bugs. To minimise errors, make sure:

• The ZIPPED Published folder has to be under 200kb


A backup image is there.

• ONLY index.html and pngs are supposed to be in the published folder. No scripts of any kind should be in it.


ERROR 1:
To include of the adkit.js or EBLoader.js is missing in the root HTML file.

If you come across this error, you may have not:

1. Put in a custom eBclick property on top of the overallTapArea into your GWD working file.

The overallTapArea is a Component>Taparea that fills the entire artboard, and its layer placed underneath the replayButtonTapArea layer.


EB.clickthrough();

To add this click,

Go to Event>
Select the OverallTapArea>
Tap Area>
Touch/Click>
Custom>
Add Custom Action>
Type ebClick into the upper fill>
Copy EB.clickthrough(); into the lower fill>

Save.

2. Open up the index.html file in Dreamweaver or Sublime or notepad, whatever platform you like best, and check to see if:

This script>
 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ds.serving-sys.com/BurstingScript/EBLoader.js"></script>

is below this line of code>

<meta name="environment" content="gwd-adwords">

If it's not, add it in. This script is external. If your agency asks you to add in a local JS, use this script instead and download the JS in Here at ERROR 4. 
<script type="text/javascript" src="./EBLoader.js"></script>

3. Check to see if this code is present BEFORE the </head>:

  <script type="text/javascript">
    function initEB() {
      if (!EB.isInitialized()) {
        EB.addEventListener(EBG.EventName.EB_INITIALIZED, startAd);
      } else {
        startAd();
      }
    }

    function startAd() {
      document.getElementById("banner").style.visibility = "visible";
    function overall_clicktag(){
        EB.clickthrough();

    }
    }
  </script>

If it's not, add it in. Overall_clicktag is like the instance name of the overall Tap Area you put in GWD. Change it to your liking.

4. Make sure:

<body>

is replaced with:

<body onload="initEB();">
  <div id="banner" onclick="javascript:handleBannerClick();"> 


5. Add a 1px border when you publish:
Here's the grey border HEX code. And make sure you saved the backup image too. 

Hex: #666666

ERROR 2:

You must have at least a Double-Click environment or a ClickTag.



Basically you have an environment that isn't DoubleClick. For our case, our environment was at Non-Google Ad, convert it to a DoubleClick environment. My previous post has the tut.

ERROR 3:
File not supported in Sizmek.

One of your files are corrupted. Majority of the times it may be one of the images/pngs you saved. Find the corrupted image file and re-save it. Sometimes it may be the background or copy. If you saved your image as a png, and renamed it to a jpg, it will also cause an error. So, re-saving the image should be able to fix the problem.

ERROR 4:
Banner not clickable.
If your banner requires you to insert a local EBloader JS file, put the script it at the bottom. If you don't have the the file, download it Here and put it where your index.html is.
