1) Which SDK are you using? (Flash, HTML5, iOS, Android)
iOS beta v7


Hi, 

The Learn More Button will always show even there is not a click through tag defined in VAST 3.0 response.

How to stop showing learn more button? 
At the moment when tap on the "Learn More" Button, the ad will pause and nothing happen, even cannot resume.

Best Regards,

Tony

Hi Tony,

Could you share your ad tag with us so we can test? Currently you can't disable the learn more button, but we should be able to fix the behavior you reported so it makes sense when no ClickThrough tag is provided.

Thanks,

Hey Shawn, 

At the moment I can find a way to disable the "Learn More" button by setting duration value from "0" to "6" .
By using the above way, the VAST3.0 AD look perfectly fine on the player. I wonder what kind of side effect will this cause. Is there any related object on iOS SDK referring to "duration" attribute ?

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,

Which duration property are you referring to? In the VAST you sent me it looks like all of the durations are 10 seconds, so I'm not sure which one you're referring to when you say you changed it "from 0 to 6".

Thanks,

Hi Shawn,

I am refering to 
<Duration>00:00:10</Duration>

if I change it to
<Duration>00:00:06</Duration>
or...
<Duration>00:00:00</Duration>

then it will disable the "Learn More" button

Thanks,
Tony

Hey Tony,

Thanks for the additional info. The duration change removing the button definitely sounds like a bug to me. We're working on a solution to just not show the button when no clickthrough is present, which will solve your issue. I'll keep you posted on our progress and let you know when that gets released.

Thanks,

Hi, have you found a solution? That "read more" text (especially when no click funcion is connected), seems quite absurd. Thanks

Hi Antonio,

Do you have AdTag for us to test? Also, have you tried with our sample apps first?

Thanks,
