Google Adsense MediaWiki Extension

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

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called GoogleAdSense in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

require_once "$IP/extensions/GoogleAdSense/GoogleAdSense.php";

// Your Publisher ID
$wgGoogleAdSenseClient = 'pub-8330046405419293';
// Your AdSense AD Unit ID
$wgGoogleAdSenseSlot = '1640430293';
// This can be anything you like
$wgGoogleAdSenseID = 'yourwiki-2';

• Add any of the optional settings below, if your settings deviate from the defaults:

// Width of the AdSense box, specified in your AdSense account
$wgGoogleAdSenseWidth = 120;
// Height of the AdSense box, specified in your AdSense account
$wgGoogleAdSenseHeight = 240;
// Source URL of the AdSense script
$wgGoogleAdSenseSrc = "https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js";
// Show the AdSense box only for anonymous users
$wgGoogleAdSenseAnonOnly = true;
// Your Publisher ID
$wgGoogleAdSenseClient = 'replace this with the client name';
// Your Adsense Ad Unit ID
$wgGoogleAdSenseSlot = 'replace this with the slot name';
//This can be anything you like
$wgGoogleAdSenseID = 'replace this with your ID';

• 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.

• Remember to disable ad-blocking services such as AdBlock when you want to see if the extension is working!
