Note that you still have to whitelist the external domain for CSP if this is a new install of Discourse, as CSP is mandatory on all new installs. CSP will be mandatory on all installs once 2.3 is released as well.
It’s a great solution, but not customizable. Every user on every page of the forum will face the code.
I want it to work like Discourse Advertisement Plugin, where you can choose user groups who can see ads and where. I prefers users below trust level 2 and only on topics where the content is enough to serve ads.
@codinghorror It will be great if this auto ads also added to Discourse Ads Plugin.
I’m not convinced that auto ads can work with Discourse. I can’t find any documentation about this, so maybe it’s possible. If you can point us to documentation about how to implement it with single page apps/infinite scroll, then we can try it.
The ad plugin handles AdSense and Ad Manager by using their APIs to request ads be rendered and updated, but I don’t see how that’s done with Auto Ads.
@neil, is there no way to just force a refresh of the auto ads javascript on every “page” load?
I guess it would struggle handling the ads when scrolling more replies, but other than that, it does look like an interesting solution. I wonder if it can be used in combination with traditional adsense placements.
