[nodebb-plugin-adsense] Google Adsense

[quahfamili]

@dove Is this plugin still working in this version.

[gaasg]

The plugin seems to have some issues for me.

The ad for inside the post (I have it on the right side) is working perfectly fine from what I can see.

The bottom does not appear at all,

If I activate the ad in header breaks my forum and makes it inaccessible to everyone.

I have the latest version of nodebb.

[art]

hmm.. has anybody successfully run a site with Adsense?

I know Adsense doesn't really work with Discourse because of Ajax (the 3 ad rule gets triggered--search the Discourse forum). I guess it doesn't work with Nodebb either?

That would be a real bummer.

[art]

If nodebb can assemble the pages server-side so adsense will work, it would be a big advantage over Discourse.

Not being able to use adsense is a dealkiller for a lot of people.

@art I believe our plugin works beyond 3 pages. @baris can confirm

[baris]

I don't think google adsense works with ajax, however I managed to get http://www.google.ca/doubleclick/publishers/small-business/ working in a widget for more than 3 page views.

I followed their guide and placed the code they give into the header of the page with the custom JS tab from ACP and then placed a widget that has this in it.

If you don't mind cold loading pages you can always disable ajaxify, that will serve a brand new page for every link and thus will be compatible with adsense.

EDIT: The other possibility would be to cache your adsense html and serve the same ad for every page, until the user comes back or refreshes manually

[Alex]

Is it not possible each time a page has got a new focus, it reloads only the ad block with a js event? I don't know if I am clear ^^

Getting the error below for version 6.0

[drew]

@jun I have this too. I think this plugin is out of date now. Would be nice to see a v0.6.x compatible version.

[drew]

Can someone npm install this one and see if it now works for v0.6.x?

I don't have an AdSense account yet =(

[a_5mith]

@Drew-Llewellyn It's out of date, I'll create a PR for it later on. But it's down to the original dev to merge it.

[Tom Riddleff]

@Drew-Llewellyn I've got the following error:

ver. NodeBB v0.6.0.

[Huggy]

Hey,

Is there an update for this? Even a branch/fork? (new to git as well!) to get it working?

I been looking to try and work out how to fix but I'm still in learning mode.

Thanks

Dave

@jun @Drew-Llewellyn @Tom-Riddleff @Dave-Huggy-Jones try the latest version. It should be compatible with NodeBB v0.6.x.

[Huggy]

@pichalite

Hey nice thanks, just done a install. it now showing in the CP

But looks like the relativePath is not being added to the url for the config file.
(I have installed on a /path)

Is this easy fix?

Thanks

Dave

[pichalite]

@Dave-Huggy-Jones which config file?

[Huggy]

@pichalite

I'm getting this error in the console log:

http://78.129.159.2/google-adsense.config.json 404 (Not Found)

My installation is on /forum whch evals ok when placed in the url directly like

http://78.129.159.2/forum/google-adsense.config.json

EDIT: Done a pull request for a fix on this.
