Restrict Adense injector Node by theme

There is no way to do #1 or #2 at present.

I will consider adding this capability to a future release.

Community: Please chime in. Do you want these features?

As always, patches to implement these features are encouraged and welcome.

On one of my sites, I use client-side JavaScript (contained in the insertion template) to inject mobile ads when a mobile browser is detected. Works like a charm. This works if you use an ad system that uses client-side JavaScript to insert ads (Google AdSense, for example).

In the Adsense Injector insertion template, we implement JS logic like this:

if (is_mobile()) { // Need to define your logic to detect a mobile browser in function is_mobile()
  // insert mobile ads here via document.write or set AdSense variables for mobile ad slot
  // 
} 
else {
  // insert standard ads here via document.write, or set AdSense variables for non-mobile ad slot
}

// remainder of JS insertion code.

I see no reason why it won't as long as you can insert ad code via JavaScript (which is how AdSense units are inserted normally, if you aren't using the AdSense module -- you just insert inline JS where you want the ads).

The technique is independent of theming or any Drupal module.

You can see it in action over at http://www.roadcarvin.com/product-review/fulmer-af-6b-review -- It's not the prettiest example but if you look at the page source you can see the JavaScript code that detects an iPhone (or iPod touch) browser and injects AdSense for Mobile units (it just uses a different ad unit). In this example, AdSense Injector isn't used with the [adsense ... ] tags; we just use a template that inserts raw AdSense JS code. That way, the client-side JS is doing all the work.

Again, not pretty, and AdSense Injector isn't really helping you in this case, but it gets you where you want to go.

@venusrising:

Thanks for the compliment.

In the AdSense Injector template (not in a .tpl file), we use JS to insert the appropriate ad channel. Here's the AdSense Injector template text:

<script type="text/javascript">
var adparms = [
  { iphone: { slot: "8064715766", w: 180, h:150 }, def: {slot: "5806444425", w:300, h:250} },
  { iphone: { slot: "0422600161", w: 180, h:150 }, def: {slot: "2817154743", w:300, h:250} }
  ];

var _adp = is_iPhone() ? adparms[0].iphone : adparms[0].def;

</script>

<div class="clear-both center inline-ad-block" style="margin-bottom: 1em !important; padding-bottom: 1em !important; height: auto;">
        <h3 style="color: #aaa !important; padding-bottom: .5em; font-variant: small-caps; font-size: .8em;">
            Advertisements - Story Continues Below</h3>
  <div class="center">
    <div style="float: left; margin-right: 8px;">


                <script type="text/javascript">

google_ad_client = "pub-1234567890123456";
google_ad_slot = _adp.slot; // "5806444425";
google_ad_width = _adp.w; // 300;
google_ad_height = _adp.h; // 250;
                </script>

                <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
                </script>
    </div>
    <div style="float: left;">

                <script type="text/javascript">

var _adp = is_iPhone() ? adparms[1].iphone : adparms[1].def;

google_ad_client = "pub-1234567890123456";
google_ad_slot = _adp.slot; // "2817154743";
google_ad_width = _adp.w;
google_ad_height = _adp.h;
                </script>

                <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
                </script>

    </div>
  </div>
  <div style="clear:both; text-align: center; line-height: 1.1em; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: .25em; font-size: .9em; color: #888; font-style: italic;">

  </div>
</div>
<br class="clear-both" />%body

(Actually, we run a custom version of AdSense Injector that allows insertion (N) paragraphs down the node body, so the above template has been changed to work with the released version of AdSense Injector, and it will inject the ad blocks at the top of the node body.)

So that's the only thing we needed to do. There is no other template modification needed. We don't use any other tricks. The is_iPhone() function is defined elsewhere, but that's a fairly trivial function.

The theming changes for iPhones is done purely in CSS, using a few nifty tricks. We don't use any theme-switcher modules or other Drupal mechanisms because they caused more problems than they solved, and were unnecessary as it turned out.

@venusrising:

Right, there are no Drupal "templates" (files) for AdSense Injector. There are templates stored in the AdSense Injector Admin settings page. You can do everything you need (regarding the injection javascript) there.

I suppose I might want to change the terminology in the admin pages, since "templates" often have other meanings.

@venusrising:

Yep, just do this:

%body<script ....> // insert ads here
</script>

I hope that's what you wanted to know.

If you want to place ads elsewhere, you can use blocks or do custom theming in your theme templates. AdSense Injector can only inject stuff at the start or end of the node body or teaser.
