Request: House Ads Plugin

I think it would be great if Discourse had plugin similar to Pockets from Vanilla Forums.

Just like Discourse AdPlugin, you can place ads on pre-determined locations.

The interesting thing is that you can insert any html ads every 3 or 4 post for example.

The good thing with jpg banners, is that you can “trick” adblockers by using random name ( eg, large image top, etc ).

That will only work if the images are coming from the same URL / domain as the rest of the “normal” images on the site.

I believe per @neil our official ad plugin can be configured to serve house ads as well, but those would be served from Google, etc, like the other ads.

このリクエストを改めて考え直したところ、現在はプラグインを使わずに テーマコンポーネント を活用することで、比較的簡単に実装できることがわかりました。

トピックの上部に広告を配置し、3 つの投稿の後に広告を表示するためのコードは以下の通りです。

<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="/connectors/topic-above-post-stream/my-house-ads">
<div style="margin-bottom:10px;">
  <a href="http://www.discourse.org/buy">
    Discourse Hosting For YOU!
  </a>
</div>
</script>

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.23">
    api.decorateWidget('post:after', helper => {
        let post = helper.getModel();
        if (post.get('post_number') % 3 === 0) { // 3 つの投稿の後に
            return helper.rawHtml(`
<div style="margin-bottom:10px">
  <a href="http://www.discourse.org/buy">
    Discourse Hosting For YOU!
  </a>
</div>
            `);
        }
    });
</script>

I copy/pasted the code into and it didn’t do anything. Any advice?

Did you enable the theme? Or preview it?

Thanks for the follow-up. I’m sorry for my late reply. I copy/pasted it into my current theme (with many theme components added) shown at www.sqrpgz.com, and I both previewed and enabled, but nothing. Then I created a new theme titled “house ads”, copy/pasted into the head, and enabled that theme – still didn’t work. Then, I went back to my original theme, and added the “house ads” component – still didn’t work. I may likely be doing something wrong here, and I appreciate any advice!

Wait. Maybe it’s working as intended but, I was confused on how it should work… If I click on a topic, I see the “discourse hosting for you” link on the top of the topic/post page, but I thought it would also be woven into the latest list every three posts. Am I misunderstanding?

The problem is that API v0.8.23 is not supported on Discourse 2.0.3.

You should update your Discourse site, or try to change the API version from 0.8.23 to a generic 0.8

ああ、困りましたね。私はCommuniteq(旧 DiscourseHosting).net に所属していますが、どちらの提案をどう進めればよいのか見当もつきません。彼らに連絡してみます。ありがとうございます!

彼らは Discourse の安定版を運用しています。

スクリプトのこの行を単純に変更してみてください。

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.23">

以下のように変更します。

<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8">

That worked. Thank you!

Now, although it worked, it worked differently than I thought it would. I thought the ad post would show up every third post in the “latest” list. Rather, it places the ad every third post in a topic’s stream. Do you know of anyway to insert a house ad in the “latest” list? Just curious.

OMG, I can’t believe I missed your reply.

It sounds great! I’ll give it a try and let you know.

ハウス広告は公式広告プラグインの一部となりました。
