Ads Manager 2 by Siropu [Paid] 2.4.22

[Siropu]

I have no idea. I've seen AdSense ads acting strange many times. Have you tried setting a max-height value in the ad inline settings?

 

[duderuud]

Still the same problem with max-height: 40px; as an example.

I'm running Google ads, maybe they changed something? This is the custom HTML ad I am using:

<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
data-ad-slot="0000000000"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

That adsense has a fixed width and height so it doesn't make any sense to display like that on mobile. Try using a responsive unit instead.

 

[duderuud]

Don't know why it worked before with a fixed size but the responsive version works great now. Thanks!

 

[duderuud]

@Siropu, the default responsive banners are quite big, what is the easiest way to show smaller sizes?

 

[Siropu]

You can set max-width: 728px; in the ad inline css settings.

 

[duderuud]

I'm sorry, I need to be more specific. I tested on mobile and with 728px the ad size seems to be the same.

I have one entry for both mobile and desktop. Would I need to create 2 entries, one for desktop with 728px and one for mobile with (say) 480px?

PS. With the inline max width CSS the alignment doesn't work anymore. I had set it to Center but it's left aligned.

 

[Siropu]

max-width:728px means no more than 728px but in can be anything in between. On mobile it will take the full width of the screen. You do not want that? If you want a smaller ad on mobile, you can use some css media queries in extra.less

@media (max-width: @xf-responsiveNarrow)
{
     .samCodeUnit
     {
          max-width: 320px;
     }
}
@media (max-width: @xf-responsiveMedium)
{
     .samCodeUnit
     {
          max-width: 480px;
     }
}
@media (max-width: @xf-responsiveWide)
{
     .samCodeUnit
     {
          max-width: 728px;
     }
}

 

[duderuud]

Thanks. Added you code to extra.less but it doesn't seem to do anything unfortunately.

 

[Siropu]

Please send me a link to take a look.

For anyone who has the problem that responsive ads are too big (especially on mobile devices), I fixed it by using this custom Adsense code:

<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:inline-block;min-width:320px;max-width:970px;width:100%;height:90px"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxxx"
data-ad-slot="xxxxxxxx"></ins>
<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});</script>

So essentially it uses a minimum width of 320px, a maximum width of 970px and a fixed height of 90px.
You could experiment with different sizes or height but this works for me.

Unmaintained - How to limit the size of Google AutoAds on your forum: No longer works

First, if you already have ads in certain positions on a page, AutoAds will not overwrite those positions. You can use the feature described below to keep your ads responsive and still limit the size of the AdSense ads, with or without AutoAds...

Hi @Siropu,

Would it be possible to randomize the name/path of your JS as it's called so adblockers can't bock your detection script? I noticed in brave that it's blocking it all.

Has anyone implemented something similar to a "Sticky Thread" in the thread list view, but instead of an actual thread, it simply links out to the sponsor site?

I was picturing a native-looking unit that sat at the top of the list of threads in a specific forum, but linked out to a sponsor.

The detection script it is in the page, not in a file (if you are using an updated version). There is a JS file used as a honeypot and it is supposed to be blocked.

I will add that in the next release.

Thanks - I got it working. That said, it won't let me dismiss the notice even though it's set up that way. Any ideas? I'm using UI.X:

Ah... nice! for what it's worth, I mocked up this in playing around with how it might look

Even just getting default hooks in those locations would be nice. I was otherwise gonna do an HTML tag and place my own hooks.

 

[Siropu]

Any ideas?

Yes. The dismiss code is in the core script which was a mistake.

The one in the forum list, can be a HTML code ad with position "Above content" and Page criteria > Content template is: forum_list

 

[SIneDave]

Yes. The dismiss code is in the core script which was a mistake.

Is there temporary fix I can put in, or will you be releasing a fix some time soon?

 

[Siropu]

There will be a new release tomorrow.
