Usage

After having set PublisherID and AdSlotNames at “Settings” > “Google Ad Manager” in your Administration Interface put the calls:

1) in your Template:
To call ads from within your template (above or below content, at a fixed position in your sidebar, and so on …) insert the call directly into the sourcecode of the template.
The call comes as HTML-comment and looks such as:

where “field_to_use” is one of the fields above: S0 – S9, so – to call field S1, the call would look such as:

2) in your Posts:
To call ads from within a post, switch to HTML-view and insert the call at the position, you want the ad to be displayed within your post.
The call comes as HTML-comment and looks such as:

where “field_to_use” is one of the fields above: S0 – S9, so – to call field S7, the call would look such as:
You may want to use the fields 7 to 9 with your posts, because they allow to set more than one slot. How many slots you set in these fields is up to you. Set 3 slots and the first three posts will display the ads. Set 5, 7, 10 … exactly. ??

3) in your Sidebar:
To place ads in your sidebar, ad a Text-widget (for “Arbitrary text or HTML” – it comes with wordpress) to your sidebar and put into it the call, which again looks such as:

where “field_to_use” is one of the fields above: S0 – S9, so – to call field S3, the call would look such as:

Ad Manager Attributs

The plugin supports additional Attributs. These are – optional – added to the call in two additional sections, separated by forward slashes “/”.
The complete Call may consist of up to three sections:

1) Custom Targeting – GA_googleAddAttr(key, value)

The optional second section may contain custom Ad Manager target-attributes that influence ad selection.
For further information on these parameters please refer to the Google Ad Manager Help.
A custom target-attribute always consists of two parts, the attribute and the value.
They are declared following the scheme: Attribute “comma” Value. E.g.: Gender,Male
To use more than one attribute, separate them with a semicolon “;” E.g.: Gender,Male;AgeRange,18To24
The complete call using custom target-attributes may look such as:

2) Page Attributs and Slot Attributes – GA_googleAddAdSensePageAttr(param, value), GA_googleAddAdSenseSlotAttr(slotname, param, value)

The optional second section may contain Ad Manager page-level attributes and/or Ad Manager slot-level attributes.
For further information on these parameters please refer to the Google Ad Manager Help.

2.1) A custom page-level attribute always consists of two parts, the parameter and the value.
They are declared following the scheme: Parameter “comma” Value. E.g.: google_color_bg,FF0000
To use more than one attribute, separate them with a semicolon “;” E.g.: google_color_bg,FF0000;google_color_link,00FF00
The complete call using custom target-attributes and page-level attributes may look such as:

2.2) A custom slot-level attribute always consists of three parts, the slot, the parameter and the value.
They are declared following the scheme: Slot (represented by “S”) “comma” Parameter “comma” Value. E.g.: S,google_color_bg,FF0000
To use more than one attribute, separate them with a semicolon “;” E.g.: S,google_color_bg,FF0000;S,google_color_link,00FF00
(Notice: The “S” is replaced by the plugin with the corresponding Slotname automatically.)
The complete call using custom target-attributes, page-level attributes and slot-level-attributes may look such as:

3) IMPORTANT!
To use page-level or slot-level attributes without using target-attributes you have to declare an empty second section, otherwise the plugin will not be able to execute the call correctly.
In this case, the first section (field_to_use) is followed by 2 forward slashes!
The complete call using page-level and slot-level attributes but no custom target-attributes may look such as:
