A step for step tutorial on how to install and use the bretteleben.de Google Ad Manager Module.

Installation and Usage

The Google Ad Manager Module allows to display Google Ad Manager Ad Slots on module positions. To work it needs the Google Ad Manager Plugin installed and activated.

1.) Log into your administration interface

2.) Go to "Extensions" > "Install/Uninstall"

3.) Select the Package File with the Google Ad Manager Module

4.) Click "Upload file & Install"

5.) If everything worked fine, you get the message "Install Module Success"

6.) Select "Extensions" > "Module Manager"

7.) Find the "bretteleben.de Google Ad Manager Modul" and click it

8.) The module expects two parameters. The first is your Google Ad Manager Publisher Id. In my case its ca-pub-"16digits".

If you are uncertain: If you tell the Google Ad Manager to produce Sample-HTML code, this code includes your Publisher ID.

Addition: If you don´t use Google Ad Manager yourself (i.e. sell your ad space to somebody using Google Ad Manager), this will be the Publisher-ID you get with the name of the AdSlot. It gets assigned to this AdSlot only.

9.) Insert your Publisher Id

10.) The second parameter is the Name of the Google Ad Manager Ad Slot to display. Insert it too.

11.) Now we change the common module parameters to fit our needs. First, disable the display of the title or change the title.

12.) We activate the module ...

13.)... choose the position to use ...

14.) ... and the pages to be displayed on.

15.) Click "Save" - done.

Optional Parameters

In addition to this basic settings the module supports custom Google Ad Manager target-parameters, custom Google Ad Manager page-parameters and custom Google Ad Manager slot-parameters.

These are set under "Other Parameters".

1.) Click "Other Parameters"

They always consist of the parameter (age, gender, interests, ...) plus the value (18To24, Male, cars, ...).

They are passed to the page, not the slot. For further information on these parameters please refer to the Google Ad Manager Help.

You can set up to five parameter-pairs.

They always consist of the parameter (background-color, link-color, ...) plus the value (FF0000, 939393, ...). They overwrite the values passed by the Google Ad Manager.

They are passed to the page, not the slot. For further information on these parameters please refer to the Google Ad Manager Help.

You can set up to nine parameter-pairs.

They always consist of the Google Ad Slot name (set automatically by the module), the parameter (background-color, link-color, ...) plus the value (FF0000, 939393, ...). They overwrite the values passed by the Google Ad Manager.

They are passed to the current slot. For further information on these parameters please refer to the Google Ad Manager Help.

You can set up to nine parameter-pairs.

Thats it, have fun with the module!
