Usage
Register ad places
Ad places are registered with drsa_ad_placement_sizes hook. You should pass nested array containing one array element per each ad place. See basic exmaple below.
Get active ad
Getting the active ad is fairly simple, just use get_the_active_ad function and pass the used ad place as a paremeter.
If there is active campaign for that ad place, a random active ad assigned to selected place will be returned. When there is no active campaign, active single ad for place is returned. Default ad and link will be returned if no active campaign or ad are found, if there is no default then return is false.
When there is ad, return is array containing the ad place name, image src, target address and click counter class. Simple usage example is below, but you can modify it according to your needs. Click counter class needs to be in the same element with the target href.
Always check the existance of function.
Adding a shortcode to embed ads into content
You can make your own shortcode to get ads everywhere you want, for example into the content of blog post. Below is simple example of shortcode usage.
Hooks
Plugin contains a set of hooks for you to use and modify behavior of plugin.
Set default ad and link
If there is no active ads for the place, you can set default image and link for the ad place in question with two different hooks.
Use filter drsa_default_ad/{place-id} to set default ad image src.
Use filter drsa_default_ad_target/{place-id} to set default ad address.
Disable UTM tags in ad target url
By default UTM tags are inserted automatically to the ad target address, use filter drsa_use_utm to disable it.
To disable globally, use add_filter( 'drsa_use_utm', '__return_false' );
To disable by ad place, use add_filter( 'drsa_use_utm\{place-id}', '__return_false' );
To disable by single ad, use add_filter( 'drsa_use_utm\ad\{ad-id}', '__return_false' );
Disable or change ad view throttle time
If visitor reloads the page or visits in the same page again within 30 seconds after first visit, the new visit is not counted to ad views. If same ad is shown in multiple pages, each page has it's own throttle prevention. For exmaple if ad is in sidebar, reload within 30 seconds in frontpage does not count new view but visit in another page will.
This is simple prevention to ensure that view count is somewhat accurate.
Change the throttle time with filter drsa_counter_cookie_timeout, return thtrottle time in milliseconds. To disable the feature, return zero.
End ads display at specific amount of views
Set filter drsa_end_ads_by_show_count to true, to switch ad ending from date to view count.
Allow alternative images for ads
Set filter drsa_allow_alternative_image to true, to allow alternative images for ads.
This will ad a alternative image field in ad edit screen.
Use drsa_alternative_image_desctiption_text filter, to change the description of the field. Default ''.
