This is the opposite of the "Add support for hosting ads on remote websites" feature request:

it would be nice if could be possible to integrate on own site also 3rd party HTML or iFrame ads from CJ, Google Adsense and others, assigning them normally to a group so that the remote ad would display in rotation togheter with locally hosted standard ads.

I'm going to ask a quote for this, any guidance or hint about feasibility would be greatly apreciated. Thanks

The goal would be to implement support for what you describe through plug-ins. I imagine one plug-in for each third-party ad system supported. The first will probably take the most work, as there isn't really an API available in the core ad module for this yet -- just TODO notes as it is my intention to some day support this.

To implement, just as there's an ad_image and an ad_text module, we'd add an ad_adsense module, etc. Support will need to be added into the core ad.module to allow plug-ins to define alternative display methods, as for example I assume displaying an adsense ad block you'd have to replace the ad module's javascript with that provided by Google.

It is all doable, but it will take a fair bit of effort. Unfortunately it's not in my short term list of goals or needs.

What do you mean by "ask a quote"?

The issue you linked is unrelated to this issue.

However, this issue is related. But I plan to leave this open for now.

As IFrames and html ads are now included in the development version of this module, closing. Hopefully specific affiliate modules will still be contributed in the future.
