smathy/google_ad_sense

Simple plugin to make a google_ad helper available in your views to insert the google adsense JS code.

GoogleAdSense

When you install the plugin you will end up with a google_ad_sense.yml file in your config directory. You can change all the parameters here.

Available options are,

ad_client
    The special identifier given to you by google, you can find this under
    "My Account" in your Google AdSense login. (required)
format
    How the ad will be displayed. The different formats are listed in
    `formats` (required)
type
    Whether the ad shown is a "Ad Unit" or a "Link Unit". Specificied with
    `ad` or `link` respectively. (required)
image
    Whether to use images for this ad. (optional)
text
    Whether to use text for this ad. (optional)
colors
    The different colors you can use to customer the ad. (optional)
width
    The width of the ad. (optional)
height
    The height of the ad. (optional)
ads_per_unit
    The number of ads per unit, only used by a "Link Unit" ad.
formats
    The formats that I've coded in, you can add more if you want.

The different formats available include:

leader_board, banner, half_banner, skyscraper, wide_skyscraper,
vertical_banner, large_rectangle, medium_rectangle,
square, small_square, small_rectangle, button

And colors you can customise include:

border, bg, link, text, url

Note: these colors need to be given as a hex value.

Once setup, you can add the Google AdSense ad to your views by using the helper method google_ad. That is, something like this:

<%= google_ad %>

This will add in the default format, ie. the one that is set in the format setting in the YAML file.

<%= google_ad(:banner) %>

This will use the banner format settings from your formats array in the YAML file.
