Hi there, I’m evaluating migration options for a very large Drupal 7 forum. It currently runs one horizontal (728x90) and 2 vertical (160x600) ad spaces, which randomly display a simple image banner from a bank of images that are defined for that given space. For this type of ad I don’t use any kind of third party ad network, nor do I want to. Is there any way to do this with Discourse, and if so, how would that work on a mobile responsive layout? Thanks a lot.

You can place two horizontal images directly in the `After header` and `Footer` sections
however, You’d have to write some script of your own to randomize the image. I don’t know of a plugin that displays random image.

In the worst case, I supposed I could install a third party ad manager like Revive. But that would require adding another webserver/PHP/SQL stack, which feels like major overkill.

You could use Google Ad Manager (formerly DFP) or theme components to serve your own content instead of using an ad network.

If you’ve already used Discourse theme / theme components, this guide is probably not something you need to read. What are themes and theme components? A theme or theme component is a set of files packaged together designed to either modify Discourse visually or to add new features. Let’s start with themes. Themes In general, themes are not supposed to be compatible …

@neil Thanks for replying, I was reading over your post about DFP. But isn’t that for Double Click? And do they take a commission or in any way interfere with my own local advertising policy that I have in place?

Double Click was acquired by Google and recently renamed to [Ad Manager](https://admanager.google.com/home/). I have no idea about commissions or local advertising policies. You should try making theme components first since that might give you what you want.

They don’t take a commission for ads you sell directly and serve through Google Ad Manager. Start with the [Google Platform Policies](https://support.google.com/platformspolicy/answer/3013851) to determine if there would be a conflict between your policy and Google’s.

Hmm interesting. Thanks for mentioning Google Ad Manager, I wasn’t aware of its existence. These pages are fairly helpful:
