get_ad_placement() rather than the_ad_placement()?

Hi,
there are various hooks to influence the output, including the wrapper.

You can find them on https://wpadvancedads.com/advancedads/codex/filter-hooks/

advanced-ads-output-wrapper-options should be the one you might need. If you search for the usage of this filter in the code, you will see how the wrapper is constructed and how to set options.

If you need more infos, please ask. I am still not sure how many information I need to give developers to be able to extend Advanced Ads

Thanks
Thomas

Thanks, Thomas, I’ll give that a look!

Just so you know, I auditioned a TON of ad management plugins the past couple of days and your plugin was, hands-down, the easiest to use and made the most sense.
I also liked reading through the support threads here and seeing how involved you were and how quickly you jumped on problems and came up with solutions. Very impressive!

Thanks again!
Matt

Thank you ??

Okay, I’m looking through your class code for how to manipulate the ad output. I guess I’m not clear on what options it will take and how to use them. So, I can use an array with advanced-ads-output-wrapper-options instead of individually sending strings using advanced-ads-output-wrapper-before-content and advanced-ads-output-wrapper-after-content?

Can you give me an example of how it is used if I were inserting an ad placement in a theme?
Does the_ad_placement(“placement-slug”) take additional arguments?

Just as a suggestion to the codex, a quick example of hook usage would go a long way to helping figure out how to use the functions.

Thanks!
Matt

Is this what I do in functions.php?

function my_function(){
	$wrapper_options = array(
			'class' => 'ad'
		);
}
add_filter( 'advanced-ads-output-wrapper-options', 'my_function' );

I see that your add_wrapper function takes an array and adds attributes to a div tag. Is that pretty much the extent of it?

Attributes can also be arrays in case there are multiple arguments. class is a good example for this.

And also, you need to receive and return the array.

so this should work:

function my_function($wrapper_options){
    $wrapper_options['class'][] 'ad'
    return $wrapper_options;
}
add_filter( 'advanced-ads-output-wrapper-options', 'my_function' );

Ah okay, so I can’t chain classes as a string then? Say I wanted the classes to be class=”ad banner”. Would I need to do something like this:

function my_function($wrapper_options){
    $wrapper_options['class'][0] = 'ad';
    $wrapper_options['class'][1] = 'banner';
    return $wrapper_options;
}
add_filter( 'advanced-ads-output-wrapper-options', 'my_function' );

Nevermind, I see I can pass one string of classes to the class array.

So, basically, that will take any attr that a div can handle. But, the only options for the wrapper tag is a div, correct?

About your code: this would work, but you should leave the keys (0, 1) from the array, so they don’t overwrite some that might be added by another feature of Advanced Ads or its add-ons.

You can also add classes as a string, but it would cause issues if another code would try to add an additional class.

And also a yes about adding any attribute and it only being a div for now. There should be enough hooks to add your own wrapper, if you need another element though.

For now, all I need is this:

function toyyak_alter_ad_output($wrapper_options){
	$wrapper_options['class'][] = 'ad';
	return $wrapper_options;
}

So, it works fine. But what you’re saying is if I wanted a second class, I can’t do this:

function toyyak_alter_ad_output($wrapper_options){
	$wrapper_options['class'][] = 'ad banner';
	return $wrapper_options;
}

How should I add a second class?

Thanks!

sorry for the misunderstanding. Of course this will work. I was referring to something like this:

$wrapper_options['class'][0] = 'ad banner';

The index 0 might overwrite a class you set earlier. You used such an index in your example above.

Yeah, sorry about that. I realized just after I posted that I didn’t need the indexing. Something you had said made me think that I couldn’t add a second class within a string and would need to pass it as another value in the class array. That’s why I brought in the keys to separate the first class value from the second. Then I tested a string, “ad banner,” and realized that worked just fine. Problem solved. ??

Thanks!

perfect, and thanks for the example. I will add it (modified) to the codex.
