show_custom_ads

Harvey
Guys I am totally confused about how to show custom ads.

Right now I have three VT ads?

VT_ad_1
VT_ad_2
VT_ad_3

I can't figure out how #3 is working or of #2 is even in play.

Can I just have two VT ads?

One will be called:  MRG_ad
The other will be called: Worth_ad

The MRG ad is the top ad on this page:

http://directory.nyskiblog.com/Vermont-Ski-Areas-f5001365.html

The Worth ad is the bottom ad on this page:

http://directory.nyskiblog.com/Vermont-Ski-Areas-f5001365.html

Also I have some other ads serving from a macro called:

h_widget

Can we consolidate all of my custom ad serving into one system and then explain it to me so I can ad and remove ads myself?

I don't remember now, we have made so many changes. I renamed the macros as you want.
Check your ads file at the advanced naml editor.

I think it would make sense to have a fully thought out and integrated system for forum admins to control their own advertising. It would bring revenue to Nabble and Admins.

I guess 90% of our users use an ad web tool like, for example Google adsense. So that, they have their own control panel to check everything.

I do use adsense.  I get opportunities to sell individual units for much more than adsense could produce.  It would be idea to be able to use adsense across the whole site but pick specific spots for custom ads.

Basically I am doing that now, I just don't know how to make changes, or add new ad units, without asking you guys for help.

Here is my forum code for show_custom_ads:

     <override_macro name ="show_custom_ads" parameters="location" requires="servlet" >

                    google_ad_height = 200;

            </n.if.regex_matches>             
        </else>  
    </n.if.equal> 
</override_macro>    

The code was brought over from my other apps that show a 200 x 200 ad. But my forum only shows 728 x 90.

Can you show me what lines to remove to eliminate the code for the 200 in the forum?  I tried several option but keep getting an error.

Re: show_custom_ads

It seems that you would have to remove the first if/then block. Like this:
<override_macro name = "show_custom_ads" parameters="location" requires="servlet" >
    <n.if.regex_matches text="[n.location/]" pattern="(first_classic_message|last_classic_message)">  
        <then>  
        </then>  
        <else>  
            <n.as_html_comments.location/>
            <n.if.not.regex_matches text="[n.location/]" pattern="app_bottom|topic_bottom|search_top">  
                <then>
                    <div class="ad shaded-bg-color rounded" style="padding:.5em 0">
                        <script type="text/javascript">                          
                            google_ad_client = "ca-pub-0156740191883467";
                            /* Leaderboard */
                            google_ad_slot = "9529659947";
                            google_ad_width = 728;
                            google_ad_height = 90;
                            google_page_url = "<n.current_url/>";
                        </script>
                        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

Re: show_custom_ads

Are you seeing ads between the first and second post?

I don't.

When I did the code edit I got code in red. But once you told me that was ok so I hit save and it took it.

But I am not seeing any ads in any browser.

Here's is the code as it stands now. It was working before. Ideally I'd like to remove the code for the first unit because I am not using that size:

Re: show_custom_ads

Not exactly sure what you are saying.

We were only displaying the ad after the first post not the second ad at the bottom of the page.

Also we had some padding between the ad unit and the bottom of the signature.
