Flarum Ads for 1.0

MikeJones

xasharma So I tried your format for ads with this extension:

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5941506786539927"
     crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<!-- Custom center footer -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:block"
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-xxxxxxxxxxx"
     data-ad-slot="xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
     data-ad-format="auto"
     data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
<script>
     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

I placed that in all the ad blocks. I only see ads in between posts but not at the top or the sidebar? Any ideas?

This is an extension error .....It doesn't work with header and under tags ads (And the ads that you sometimes see at these places are placed by google auto ads, not by extension ... For now, extension is working good for between the post ads)

I use header code in admin > appearance >customer header (It works for every time) ..... same for footer ( and also use <center> ...... </center> for both) ... But it not looks that good ... so maximum time I remove it and sometimes insert it (when I promote the site by ads)

[deleted] Seeing this thread just reminds me of how much I despise ads. I understand the origin (to generate revenue) but I refuse to have ads on any of my sites as I feel it detracts the user experience.

Agreed but if you make the ads simple an no pop ups I take that as a middle ground. Not everyone is fortunate enough to run a site all on their own income. There are other ways to make income on a site which I am doing but, its not enough to cover all the server costs at this time. Before I upgraded to 1.0 I almost have all my server costs covered from amazon affiliates and adsense combined. Eventually if affiliates can cover both I could remove ads in the future.

Maybe this needs to be split off to a new post admins lol

Walys

MikeJones all my server costs covered from amazon affiliate

Have any extension to working in Flarum with Amazon Affiliates?

MikeJones

Walys I am not using an extension for my Amazon Affiliate. I just strategically recommend things based on the articles on my site within posts.

xasharma bummer...

I submitted a bug report to @malago on GitHub. Hoping I can help beta test if he wants to try anything.

xasharma

And the extension is only not working for google ads .... I tried some custom banner ads which are working great >

My forum is related to programming and cybersecurity courses and tools ... so I have to upload TB's of data and provide it for free to users. And cloud-like mega, Dropbox are little bit expensive and ads are the only way .......

xasharma I totally get it. I'm in the same industry 👍👍

MikeJones

So what's the best way to do a bounty on this?

I am willing to fork over $60 if someone can get adsense ads working in all the spots and not just in-between posts.

Edit: payment would be over PayPal

katos

MikeJones what spots do you require? 🤔

xasharma

Darkle

I know it's not enough but I can $30 more to this fund (PayPal). or may be more in future

Suggestions -

I have seen some forums which use ads between the discussions (on the homepage) and ads in the red box by aligning down the white box (shown in the pic )

Can we get these features in future updates?

MikeJones

katos Top like this:

and on the left hand side under the tags. Tee trick is the left hand side under tags needs to disappear on mobile.

Ffuser1

MikeJones ability to NOT show ads for a specific user group would be great.

katos

MikeJones if I get chance today I might have a glance over the code and see what I can muscle up

Braden

MikeJones i wasn't around when you were troubleshooting got caught up with family issues.

Yah if someone can pick up from the offer would make the extension great!

But Mike, on Ten digit Grid, under Tags , i don't see an ad

you installed the extension yet?

MikeJones

Yea right now I am on different extension thats private which is enabled for ads and 1.0 broke it a little...

But this extension works great for in post ads but does not work for the top or sidebar ads when using adsnes.

Braden

The issue i noticed is because once flarum loads, all pages / links are like all known ( i dont know how to put it )
So they open quickly, this makes ad blocks to be missed, if all pages could open like if its the first time , no doubt ads would show for sure , like if someone has done F5

What do we call that links opening like visitor already known?

MikeJones

Ffuser1 I would fund that update as well in a future month lol, right now just looking for adsense to work. Just had my wedding so a bit strapped for cash 😆

MikeJones

katos awesome! My fingers are crossed!

MikeJones

@katos forgot to mention, if you need help testing things let me know. I can test with my live adsense account if you don't have one.

Darkle

There's a new fork https://github.com/insegreto/flarum-ads not sure if the user is around, but it looks like he's been fixing some stuff, I can't test it right now @MikeJones maybe you can take a look at it.

MikeJones

Darkle I can take a look. Who is the guy who made it?

Also, I am not super familiar with installing forks or projects, can I install it via composer or is it more complicated than that?
