I'm trying to use OpenX to manage ads on a site that uses MediaWiki. I'm trying to do two things:

1) On most pages I just want to randomize the ad that is displayed at the top of the page.

2) On pages that have a specific sponsor, I only want to show the ad provided by the sponsor.

I see where I can limit an ad to being displayed only on a specific URL but I don't see a way to limit a URL to a specific ad. Can this be done?

You can deliver banners based on the site - url, by setting "Site - Page URL" delivery limitation to the banners.

You can set this delivery limitation from "Delivery Options"page from banner section. There select "Site - Page URL" and provide the value, from this can get the banner delivering based on site page url.

Thanks for the reply, but that's not quite what I was trying to do. However, I think I figured out how to do what I was trying to do.

I had added two advertisers with one "Contract" type campaign for each of them. Their campaigns had their banner ad in it twice, once with no restrictions and once restricted to a specific URL using the "Site - Page URL" Delivery Options setting (each advertiser had a different page URL). The restricted ads were only showing up on the pages that I wanted them to, but the two unrestricted ads were appearing on every page, including the pages that I had created page-specific ads for.

At about 1am list night I finally figured out what the different campaign types were for, and that "Contract (Exclusive)" campaign types were what I needed to use. If there is a "Contract (Exclusive)" campaign for a page, it gets all of the impressions for that page so any ads in "Contract" campaigns or "Remnant" campaigns never get a chance to be shown. So, I made a new "Contract (Exclusive)" campaign for each advertiser and moved their page-restricted ads into those campaigns and now those are the only ads that appear on pages that have a specific sponsor.
