pollfish - anyone?

I see 0 posts about Pollfish - interesting.  Anyone using it?

I have attempted to integrate Pollfish in place of Appodeal.  Rewarded video in Appodeal does not have a paid per view option (Cost Per Completed View - CPCV), only for clicks… Which essentially makes them no different than their other video ads… but I digress.

I cannot get any response from the Pollfish plugin, even in developer mode.  I may be initiating it wrong, but can’t find any sample code to steal.  Here is what I have:

local function pollfishListener( event ) if ( event.phase == "init" ) then -- Successful initialization --pollfish.load(customMode="true") pollfish.load() elseif ( event.phase == "completed" ) then userdataM.save() -- if return true, composer.gotoScene( "screenStart" ) elseif ( event.phase == "loaded" ) then end end -- Initialize the Pollfish plugin pollfish.init( pollfishListener, { apiKey="5072f1a3-e9cd-4efb-84ac-9517a615888", developerMode="true" } )

the solution to my problem above was that developerMode=“true” needs to be developerMode=true so the variable value is binary instead of a string.

new question though - and pollfish said that they can’t help since Corona wrote the plugin.  so I am hoping to get some response here.  

I cannot alter the behavior of the survey button.  In the init phase, I am trying to load the survey in custom mode (which should force me to have to call the load function when I want to show the button) and in the center of the screen on the right.  I have not been able to get these options to work.  I asked Pollfish if this was a limitation of DeveloperMode, but they didn’t know.  I checked the logs and nothing suspicious there…

 local function pollfishListener( event ) if ( event.phase == "init" ) then -- Successful initialization pollfish.load({customMode=true,yAlign="center"}) --pollfish.load({yAlign="center"}) elseif ( event.phase == "completed" ) then userdataM.save() -- if return true, composer.gotoScene( "screenStart" ) elseif ( event.phase == "loaded" ) then --pollfish.hide() end end -- Initialize the Pollfish plugin pollfish.init( pollfishListener, { apiKey="5072f1a3-e9cd-4efb-84ac-9517a61", developerMode=true } )

Anyone?

In the way I read the documentation, you call customMode during load and you will not get a button. You have to provide your own button that would then call .show() or call .show() after some event (such as a game over situation).

See:
http://docs.coronalabs.com/plugin/pollfish/load.html

That is my plan and what I expect - but the button is showing always, even when customMode is true.

I’ll ask our Engineering team, but it may be a while before it gets looked at.

ok, thanks Rob.

i’m using pollfish for a long time …  it’s good but not what i expected … and payments are quick even if they reached only 40 USD

anyway this code is working fine

first in build.settings:

plugins =     {         ["plugin.pollfish"] =         {             publisherId = "com.coronalabs"         },     },

in your lua file

local pluginPollfish = require( "plugin.pollfish" ) local pollfishOptions={}

local function adPollyListener( event )     if ( event.phase == "init" ) then  -- Successful initialization         pluginPollfish.load({customMode=true})     elseif ( event.phase == "loaded" ) then         isSurveyLoaded=true --this flag can tell your timer to show a button for users to start survey or just show the button directly depends on your code pluginPollfish.show()--this line of code shows survey     elseif ( event.phase == "completed" ) then --do something like reward your user       pluginPollfish.init( adPollyListener, { developerMode=false,apiKey="your api key" } ) -- initiate again for more surveys     elseif ( event.phase == "closed" or event.phase == "failed" ) then        pluginPollfish.init( adPollyListener, { developerMode=false,apiKey="your api key" } ) -- initiate again for more surveys     end end

if tonumber(user\_Gender)==1 then       pollfishOptions={ gender="male" }    else       pollfishOptions={ gender="female" }    end   pluginPollfish.init( adPollyListener, { developerMode=false,apiKey="your api key" } )   pluginPollfish.setUserDetails(pollfishOptions) -- this is claimed to provide better user experience from pollfish to send surveys for suitable --people depending on age, gender ...etc. if you had this info in your app

hope this helps

Thank you so much. This is helping… not using it exactly as you have it, but setting a variable in the ‘loaded’ phase and checking it when I want to load a survey seems to be working better than checking the isLoaded() function.

I am still not able to totally prevent the icon from loading (so I just hide() it right away) and I cannot set the location of the icon - so it seems like the pollfish.load() is still a problem.  But I am moving on.

Thanks again.  I will post any progress.

Hi All;

I’m contemplating trying Pollfish in an app. But before I do, I have a couple of questions:

#1 – Mainly for Rob Miracle. Back in August, in a thread  concerning Appodeal, you said “Because we have dropped support for Pollfish. I would think the plugin would still build for those using it, but we might have done something disabling it for new people to use in the past few days.”  A couple of months have passed. Since the Pollfish plugin is still available in your marketplace, I assume that changed and all is OK now. Correct?

#2 – I have the same question as Sonyallc. Anyone using Pollfish and getting decent revenue from it? As compared to simpler Incentivized Video Interstitials?? Just trying to figure out if it is worth trying.

Thanks for any info or thoughts.

Steve

removed last post.  Was thinking this was a different account.

#13

@sbullock I believe we still have the Pollfish plugin. 

Rob

#14

Thanks Rob. Just wanted to double check because of what was said in August.

Best;

I stopped using them because I didn’t feel like giving people an option to fill 0 revenue survey’s and because the privacy policy they wanted me to add to my game description scared some people off. I actually made more money out of the referral program (not sure if it is still available). I helped somebody out and they used my link and I am not sure what they were doing but this person’s users filled 1000s of survey’s which resulted in my getting a few hundred dollars.
