ABOUT ADSENSE INJECTOR
|
| 7 |
----------------------
|
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
The purpose of this module is to provide a simple method of automatically
|
| 10 |
placing 'inline' adsense module content into a full-page view of selected
|
| 11 |
node types. It does this by intercepting node rendering using hook_nodeapi
|
| 12 |
during 'page' rendering, and injecting selected text into the $node->body
|
| 13 |
field.
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
It uses a very simple scheme at present (just string concatenation) and
|
| 16 |
could be enhanced greatly by using regular expressions, templates, or other
|
| 17 |
techniques in a later revision.

RATIONALE

----------------------
|

|
| 32 |
Why is this useful? In my experience, this simplifies certain important
|
| 33 |
aspects of ad insertion and placement.
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Traditional approaches:
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
- Modify your theme's node.tpl.php or other template file(s) in order to
|
| 38 |
inject ads on every node view.
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
What happens if you have multiple sites or use multiple themes, or use
|
| 41 |
custom per-node-type template files (node-book.tpl.php, node-image.tpl.php
|
| 42 |
etc)? Now you have to edit, test, and maintain multiple template files,
|
| 43 |
and, if the theme is updated to fix bugs, you have to merge in your
|
| 44 |
changes.
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
- Hand-edit each node content and use inline [adsense:x:y] inline filter
|
| 47 |
tags.
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
This gives tremendous flexibility in layout, but creates a maintenance
|
| 50 |
nightmare if you should wish to alter your channel or ad layouts site-wide.
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
- Use block insertion into the theme's template regions.
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
This is great if your theme's regions provide the flexibility you want - it
|
| 55 |
seems that themes vary somewhat in the regions they provide, and those
|
| 56 |
regions aren't always in the places you want - so once again, you are back
|
| 57 |
to tweaking theme template files if you want to place the ads near or in
|
| 58 |
the content.
|

USAGE
|
| 62 |
----------------------
|
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
AdSense Injector uses (and requires) installation and proper configuration of
|
| 65 |
the AdSense Module in order to function properly. Please install, configure,
|
| 66 |
and test the AdSense module before you install Adsense Injector.
|
| 67 |

|
| 69 |
ANY DETAIL VISIBILITY CONTROL?
|
| 70 |
----------------------
|
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
You may looking for some detail visibility control as like as that of block
|
| 73 |
visibility, e.g. with PHP-mode which target for expert only.
|
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
This will not exists for adsense injector module, as adsense module already
|
| 76 |
coming with similar visibility control managment. For keeping this module as
|
| 77 |
simple as possibility, we will not duplicate this handling.
