Ads on shop frontpage

Phoentje · 2017-11-09 03:28:24

Hi all,

anyone who can assist or guide me how to place google ads on the front webshop page?
Like where and on wich file to place the google code?

Thx

you can probably do that by simply placing the html you get from Google into the page copy field.

If you need it in a specific place, you could use one of the hooks in phphlugins.

But putting it into the page copy field will make it be inside the shop. Can it be above the shop? Before content?

There are PHPlugins hooks for that.

I am trying to accomplish it right now.. not working very well for me so far.

When I look at the php plugin example I can put my <script> ...</script> after the </php>
Then it works but it will be above everything.

If I try the code into the page copy field it will show me the exact code in text instead of executing it.

When I put the <script> part into function ttg_header_top( $style, $path ) {

}

it will give me a lot of errors... where should I put it ?

You can try placing it with the ttg_scripts hook or the ttg_head hook.

Then it works but it will be above everything.

don't do this. Place your code inside of a properly formed function inside the USER FUNCTIONS area of the phplugins file.

Does Google offer any suggestions of where to place the code?

Another option: if your design uses a tray, try placing the code in the tray copy area of your template.

I found this": (this is an example adsense code)

<?php
//assign adsense code to a variable
$googleadsensecode = '
<script type="text/javascript">
google_ad_client = "pub-123456789";
google_ad_slot = "123456";
google_ad_width = 180;
google_ad_height = 150;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>';
//now outputting this to HTML
echo $googleadsensecode;
?>

Should I put this into the already present <php> </php> section?
And I translate ttg_header_top as being the posistion that the script is being placed?

take a look inside one of the existing phplugins example files (like phplugins-pangolin-samle.php) in backlight/custom/phplugins/.
At around line 212 you'll see this:

// SET USER FUNCTIONS BELOW
// Some example functions are included below. Feel free to delete or modify unwanted functions.
//

Below that are example functions that will demonstrate the way to write a function. Substitute the appropriate hook at the top of the function.
Take note of the warning at around line 23 at the top of the file about using single quotes in your code.

you shouldn't need to include those opening and closing php tags: <?php and ?>

ttg_header_top will place content at the top of the header area. This may be where you want the ad to appear. You could also try ttg_masthead_primary_bottom to place it after the masthead.

I'm not sure how your code will work though since there will be two echo statements. It may need go be modified.

rod barbee · 2017-11-29 23:54:05

This seems to work, it creates the space for the ad. But the url to the ad isn't returning anything visible. If you follow the url you'll see no actual html output, it's just a js file.

function ttg_header_top( $style, $path ) { 
	$googleadsensecode = '
<script type="text/javascript">
google_ad_client = "pub-123456789";
google_ad_slot = "123456";
google_ad_width = 180;
google_ad_height = 150;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>';
//now outputting this to HTML
echo $googleadsensecode;
	return true;
} // END

Hi, I have been using this and worked perfect for me.
Now that I am using the Backlight2 modules for page templates it seem to have broken for me.
I have enabled the PHP plugins in advanced and selected my version of the php file. But it will not showup?

You can’t use your old phplugins file, you’ll need to use the latest version: http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … _phplugins
And you’ll need to update your functions to use the new hook syntax. See the latest sample file for the new hooks.

Daniel Leu · 2019-09-13 01:24:56

Have a look over here fore updating to phplugins for BL2: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=8966

Thanks. I checked both:
This is what I get when I enable the phpplugins.

please read my post again....

2) Function names changed and lost their arguments. You only need to remove the ttg_ prefix and whatever is between parentheses.

So

function header_top( $style, $path ) {

becomes

function header_top() {

Could not translate "parentheses", but now I understand.
It looks like it got the default page working now. http://www.circuitpics.nl/webshop/

If I now want to also have this visable in the galleries and albums I have to create those functions seperate albumset_top and album_top? Or can this be put in the same function?

rod barbee · 2019-09-13 21:29:09

Are your album and album set templates using the same page template as your web shop page?
If not, activate the same phplugins file for the page template being used for your album and album set templates.
