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.
我再次想到了这个请求，结果发现现在无需插件，通过使用主题组件即可轻松实现。
在主题上方放置广告，并在每 3 篇帖子后放置广告的代码如下：
<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">

</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) { // 每 3 篇帖子后
return helper.rawHtml(`
<div style="margin-bottom:10px">
<a href="http://www.discourse.org/buy">

</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
天哪，我这边是 Communiteq（原 DiscourseHosting）的同事——对于这两个建议，我完全不知道该如何推进。我会联系他们。谢谢！
他们运行的是 Discourse 的稳定版本。
只需尝试修改脚本中的这一行：
<script type="text/discourse-plugin" version="0.8.23">
改为
<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.
