    • Google ads varying by article author?

    Posted by typeamom posts: 67 United States
    I have a bit of an odd question. Is it possible to, essentially, keep track of Google ad revenue for specific authors... as in, could I create Google ad zones for each author, and somehow make it so that their articles (embedded in the template) show just ads from their zone?

    You would have to add the code in the template. (.tpl)

    Something like:

    if author = a
    put banner zone a

    if author = b
    put banner zone b

    else
    put default banner zone

    Put {debug} in a Smarty template to get a popup with all the variable names.

    M ;-)

    Thanks! The only issue I have had is that I never have gotten the JS plugin to work. I can't find somewhere in my files to add a banner zone outside tikiwiki and through ftp. Is there a way to do that? Then I could create the banner zones, ftp them in, and call them.

    Hmm... or could I do something like if author = a
    then put in the code for that particular Google zone?

    Then I could have all zones right there in the template...
