The Google AdSense extension allows to easily add Google AdSense advertisements to the sidebar of your wiki. This extension requires an account with Google's AdSense.
Installing
edit- Download and move the extracted
GoogleAdSense
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/GoogleAdSense - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'GoogleAdSense' );
// Replace this with your own publisher ID (google_ad_client / data-ad-client) $wgGoogleAdSenseClient = 'none'; // Client ID for your AdSense script (example: ca-pub-1234546403419693) // Replace this with your AdSense ad unit ID (google_ad_slot / data-ad-slot) $wgGoogleAdSenseSlot = 'none'; // Slot ID for your AdSense script (example: 1234580893)
(You can get your "publisher ID" and "ad unit ID" from the "Get code" page.)
- Add any of the optional settings below - if your settings deviate from the defaults:
// Width of the AdSense unit, specified in your AdSense account (google_ad_width / data-ad-width)
$wgGoogleAdSenseWidth = 120;
// Height of the AdSense unit, specified in your AdSense account (google_ad_height / data-ad-height)
$wgGoogleAdSenseHeight = 240;
// Source URL of the AdSense script. No need to change - it can't deviate from the defaults.
$wgGoogleAdSenseSrc = '//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js';
// Show the AdSense box only for anonymous users: true or false. Default is false.
$wgGoogleAdSenseAnonOnly = false;
// This can be anything you like. Default is 'none'.
$wgGoogleAdSenseID = 'none';
// Text coding. Default is 'utf8'.
$wgGoogleAdSenseEncoding = "utf8";
// Advertising language. Default is 'en'.
$wgGoogleAdSenseLang = "en";
- If you want to add a "Text/image, 200x200" into the Vector skin you will need to shift the left panel over slightly. Add the following to the "MediaWiki:Vector.css" page
#content,
#footer {
margin-left: 11em;
}
#left-navigation {
left: 11em;
}
- The default portlet label ("Advertisements") can be changed to "Sponsored Links" on the "MediaWiki:Googleadsense" page. Please note: no other variations are permitted[1].
- Remember to disable ad-blocking services such as AdBlock when you want to see if the extension is working!
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
If you encounter an HTTP 500 error, replace "wfLoadExtension( 'GoogleAdSense' );" with "require_once "$IP/extensions/GoogleAdSense/GoogleAdSense.php";".
