4. Between Posts “Codefund” Style Ad

Specifications:

  • Image Type: No images required (text-only design)
  • Image Size: N/A
  • Additional Notes:
    • Container automatically sizes to content
    • Consistent padding (10px 5px)
    • “Ad” label always visible
    • Adapts to mobile view through fluid width
    • Background color adjusts to theme

HTML

    <div class="ad-container">
        <span class="ad-label">Ad</span>
        <strong>Discourse</strong> - A community platform for civilized discussion on the web
    </div>
</a>
CSS
.house-creative {
  margin-left: 0 !important;
  
  a.between-posts-ad {
    color: var(--dynamic-color);
    
    strong {
      color: var(--primary);
    }
    
    .ad-container {
      max-width: calc(#{$topic-avatar-width} + #{$topic-body-width} + (#{$topic-body-width-padding} * 2));
      padding: 10px 5px;
      text-align: center;
      background-color: var(--primary-very-low);
      border: 1px solid var(--primary-low);

        padding: 2px 5px;
        color: var(--primary-very-low);
        font-weight: bold;
        background-color: #EAC34E;  // Sets color of "Ad" label
        border-radius: 5px;
      }
    }
  }
}
Color Definitions
$dynamic-color: dark-light-choose($primary-medium, $secondary-medium);
:root {
  --dynamic-color: #{$dynamic-color};
}

Common Issues and Solutions

  1. Mobile Display Issues: Ensure both desktop and mobile images are properly defined in HTML and CSS is correctly handling the responsive breakpoints
  2. Color Scheme Problems: Use CSS custom properties (var(--primary), var(--secondary)) instead of hard-coded colors
  3. Image Loading: Verify images are correctly uploaded and URLs are properly referenced

Each template can be customized to match your site’s branding and specific needs. Remember to test thoroughly on both desktop and mobile devices before deployment.

What do I do? I found the specific article but it didn’t make any sense.

What part of the code do I change?

I don’t quite understand your question here, what do you need help with? If you are wondering where to add the code for the Ad, see the Tips section above:

1 个赞

@Johnny_McIvor thanks for bringing this up! I’ve updated the CSS parts of all of the templates to use CSS custom properties.

In your screenshot you will see $primary used on line 5. Change that to var(--primary)

Similarly on line 6 you will see $secondary. Change that to var(--secondary)

Let me know if you continue to have any issues.

If I want to upload two different size graphics for my house ads for desktop/ mobile ads, do I need to use the CSS Component for the Responsive Banner Ad 1?

We’ve got very limited technical resources, so I’m trying to figure this one out to generate more ROI for the Community to increase the dedicated technical resources (very much a catch 22 at this point).

I can get the ad working on a desktop with the HTML but not on Mobile and the majority of our users are mobile.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hello :wave:t4: @Dawn

I checked the code you had in Responsive Banner Ad 1 and you are missing a few things there. You need to include both images (one for desktop and a smaller one for mobile) in the HTML for the add.

Check this example from my site:

Try it with this code:

<a href="DESTINATION_URL" class="banner-ad" target="_blank">
    <img class="desktop" src="DESKTOP_IMAGE_URL">
    <img class="mobile" src="MOBILE_IMAGE_URL">
</a>

Remember to replace the DESTINATION_URL variable. For the DESKTOP_IMAGE_URL and MOBILE_IMAGE_URL I recommend you upload the images to a private topic and take the URLs from there.

Then create a theme component, and add the CCS styles. This should work:


    .banner-ad {
        display: flex;
        clear: both;
        max-width: calc(#{$topic-body-width} + #{$topic-avatar-width} + (#{$topic-body-width-padding} * 2));
        box-sizing: border-box;
        img {
            height: 100%;
            &.desktop {
                display: block;
            }
            &.mobile {
                display: none;
            }
        }
    }

    @media only screen and (max-width: 672px) {
        .banner-ad {
            img.desktop, p {
                display: none;
            }
            img.mobile {
                display: block;
            }
        }
    }


I tested all of this in my site and works as expected :+1:t4:

Is there any way to have different house ads on different categories? We have Discourse categories that match with different job roles of our members, and we want to show ads for educational events that align with their job role.

@clayg there is a way, it’s got something to do with the CSS I believe – I’m still working on it myself. Here’s a reference:

如何在 house ads 演示视频中获得真正简单的白色文字渐变背景?

我有一些渐变

background: rgb(2,0,36);
background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(2,0,36,1) 0%, rgba(9,9,121,1) 35%, rgba(0,212,255,1) 100%);

我是否应该创建一个主题组件 h-creative

然后添加 CSS

.h-creative {

    font-variant: small-caps;
    font-weight: bold;
    .container {
        display: flex;
        align-items: center;
        width: 100%;
        padding: 6px 0;
        background: rgb(131,58,180);
        background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(131,58,180,1) 0%, rgba(253,29,29,1) 50%, rgba(252,176,69,1) 100%);
    }

    .big {
        font-size: 24px;
        line-height: normal;
        padding: 10px;
        color:lightgrey;
    }
}

<a href="https://con.racket-lang.org/" class="h-creative">
    <div class="container">
        <span class="big">(twelfth  RacketCon) October 28-30, 2022</span>
    </div>
</a>

它奏效了

更正:我的文字是小型大写字母并且是蓝色的——但背景不起作用。也不是指定的颜色:蓝色。

@tobiaseigen 实际上是正确的,我的错!

嗯……我为“帖子之间”和“主题之间”选择了那个广告。删除那段代码后,它就能正常工作了?

它之前也出现在那些地方,只是没有正确的 CSS。

我将 house ads after nth post 设置为 2,所以它现在显示出来了。

那么 house-post-bottom 是做什么用的?

2 个赞

.house-post-bottom 默认添加了此 CSS:

在主题之间,它会添加 house-topic-list-between 类,但默认不添加任何 CSS。

您可以通过以下方式进行调整并共享 CSS:

.house-creative {
  &.house-topic-list-between,
  &.house-post-bottom {
    margin-left: 0 !important;

    a.between-posts-ad {
      color: var(--dynamic-color);

      strong {
        color: var(--primary);
      }

      .ad-container {
        max-width: calc(
          #{$topic-avatar-width} + #{$topic-body-width} +
            (#{$topic-body-width-padding} * 2)
        );
        padding: 10px 5px;
        text-align: center;
        background-color: var(--primary-very-low);
        border: 1px solid var(--primary-low);
        box-sizing: border-box;

        .ad-label {
          margin-right: 2px;
          padding: 2px 5px;
          color: var(--primary-very-low);
          font-weight: bold;
          background-color: #eac34e; // 设置“广告”标签的颜色
          border-radius: 5px;
        }
      }
    }

关于这个:有没有办法将广告与用户关联,并根据自定义用户组(例如 Gold/Silver 等)和/或个人用户状态(例如他们是否被暂停或处于活动状态)来控制可见性?例如:会员网站上的不同合作伙伴级别享有不同的广告福利。“Gold”合作伙伴获得 3 个广告和 3 个展示位置;“Silver”获得 2 个广告和 2 个展示位置,依此类推。

具体来说,我正在研究在一个 WordPress => Discourse 同步的网站上实现这一点的可行性,其中 Discourse 是客户端,WordPress 是提供者。用户数据、自定义组放置以及活动/暂停状态已经通过自定义 SSO 负载传递。那么,为什么不传递一些额外的广告数据呢? :slight_smile:
