Discourse-Adplugin

Ad plugin for Discourse forum.

Installation

Supported Discourse version: v1.4

Special Installation Instructions for RGSoC Coaches

You would have already gotten the discourse to load locally. If not, do that first. You can find instructions here.
Then clone this repo in a new local folder.
In the terminal, go into your discourse folder and then into plugins. Example cd ~/code/discourse/plugins
Create a symlink in this folder and do that by doing:

ln -s ~/whereever_your_cloned_ad_plugin_path_is .

For example: ln -s ~/discourse-plugin-test .

Now you are done. See 'Usage' heading for sample ad codes that you can input.

Non-docker installation

Run bundle exec rake plugin:install repo=http://github.com/team-melbourne-rgsoc2015/discourse-adplugin in your discourse directory
In development mode, run bundle exec rake assets:clean
In production, recompile your assets: bundle exec rake assets:precompile
Restart Discourse

Docker installation

As seen in a how-to on meta.discourse.org, simply add the plugin's repo url to your container's app.yml file:

hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - mkdir -p plugins
          - git clone https://github.com/team-melbourne-rgsoc2015/discourse-adplugin.git

Rebuild the container

cd /var/docker
git pull
./launcher rebuild app

Usage

Go to Admin > Settings > Ad Plugin
Add DFP link into code boxes, input width and height based on Google Ad Ad units. Here are some sample ad codes that you can put in the input into the settings. But remember: ⋅⋅* Each slot requires a different sample ad code. That means, you cannot put the same ad sample ad codes multiple times in different slots. They won't appear.
⋅⋅* Don't click on the ad.
⋅⋅* On the last stroke of midnight, the magic will wear off. Make sure you leave the ball before then.
