Ads Manager 2 by Siropu [Paid] 2.4.22

I'd really like to see a fix for the large ads on mobile as reported above. I think it's affecting traffic and people don't like it. I know I don't.

I don't think it can be fixed on the add-on side. Try using the "no wrapper" feature and see how that shows up.

You know what's coming next...."where do I find that?" - I checked ad and package settings. What am I missing?

The other concern that this demonstrates is if Google can do this, how do we prevent an advertiser from doing it? We need to ensure a way to constrain sizing to whatever we are specifying. I guess that can be done at ad uploading but we just need to be sure this is properly handled.

 

[Siropu]

where do I find that?

In the ad/package "Basic information" tab.

There is a different since adsense is an external script that renders in an iframe and you cannot control external scripts. There are no issues with banner uploads.

In the ad/package "Basic information" tab.

I don't see it in either the ad or package under basic information. This is a banner ad type. Add-on version 2.4.20.

I don't see it in either the ad or package under basic information. This is a banner ad type. Add-on version 2.4.20.

It's under Basic Information for "Code Ad" types. Can be set per-package or ad hoc code ads (AdSense, etc.)

I'm using a banner ad type with a placeholder ad with custom HTML.

I found the fix in searching how to control ad size in adsense. Essentially you need to create your own style properties per the article below, I moved mine to extra.less and then remove the sizing in the google ad code and add your class name. @Siropu I'm not sure if you already have a class that could be assigned instead of us creating our own that manages this for the ad/package?

Hello @Siropu ,
Greetings.
Please is it possible to display ads in between thread paragraphs or above every thread?
If yes, please how do i go about it?

Secondly, please these error logs always pops up in my admin dashboard, it's related to Maxmind Geolite 2. Please is this something that can be fixed from my end?

Server error log​

Clear

MaxMind GeoLite2: The value "129.205.114.28,102.23.96.13" is not a valid IP address.

There are no classes for adsense. Have you tried to use a responsive adsense unit with the size set in the ad/package?

Thread paragraphs or posts?

Post Paragraphs it is,

 

[Siropu]

There are predefined positions and dynamic for between posts and inside posts (See "Thread view" position category).

To display after every post use Below thread post x container with Position criteria Item ID set to X1.
To display above every post use Above thread post x container with Position criteria Item ID set to X1.
To display after every post content use After thread post x content with Position criteria Item ID set to X1.
To display above every post content use Above thread post x content with Position criteria Item ID set to X1.

Are you using latest add-on version? Have you updated the geo lite database?

I followed the above link, finally got my CSS dialed in and this custom class assigned to the adsense code per the above article seems to be working well. I haven't looked the sam classes but I wonder if assigned one to the google adsense would work to force it to use it?

// custom ad sizing control for mobile
.custhorizontal { width: 970px; height: 90px; margin:0 auto; }
@media (max-width: @xf-responsiveMedium)
{ .custhorizontal {max-width: 100% !important; max-height: 90px; margin:0 auto; } }

Here is my custom HTML for the placeholder in the banner ad.

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-xxxxxxx"
crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<!-- Horizontal 970x90 -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle custhorizontal"
style="display:inline-block;"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxxxx"
data-ad-slot="xxxxxxx"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

My ad system is set to approve without admin approval but I've still got to check it via the admin panel for it to go live, anyway around this? Secondly, the Receive email notification seems to not work.

 

[Siropu]

anyway around this?

Have you set user group permission "Bypass ad approval"?

Secondly, the Receive email notification seems to not work.

Has the user checked the option to receive them?

I'm noticing more and more Amazon short links being shared on my forums. Is there a way to convert these short links into regular links or add my affiliate code to them?

 

[Nettpreneur]

To display after every post use Below thread post x container with Position criteria Item ID set to X1.

After i did this, it prompted me to add this code below

<xf:macro template="siropu_ads_manager_ad_macros" name="ad_unit" arg-position="X1" />

After i did this, it prompted me to add this code below

You renamed the position I mentioned to something else. Go to Positions and use the reset feature in the menu in the right side corner, to redo the issue.

After that go to your ad/package and simply select that position for use. Then, go to the "Position criteria" tab of that ad/package and add X1 in the "Item ID" input.

Thanks, it worked now.
