[Plugin: Random / Rotating Ads V2] Ads in post content

(@marchenkoalexandr)

So if You want to add your ads into post body, all you need is add following code to wp-content/plugins/datafeedr-ads/datafeedr-ads.php

function datafeedr_ads_filter($content) {
	preg_match_all('/\[ad-([^\]]+)\]/six', $content, $matches);

	if(!empty($matches)) {
		$codes = $matches[0];
		$ids = $matches[1];

		for($i = 0; $i < count($codes); $i++) {
			$code = $codes[$i];
			$id = $ids[$i];
			$ad = '';
			if (function_exists('dfrads')) {
				$ad = dfrads($id);
			}
			$content = str_replace($code, $ad, $content);
		}

		return $content;
	}

	return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'datafeedr_ads_filter');

And now anywhere in post content you may add code like following:

[ad-4298077]

where 2346323 copy pasted from Template code: <?php if (function_exists('dfrads')) { echo dfrads('4298077'); } ?>

I try this method and every time I get a message saying the add does not exist? I wonder why?

First of all u need to check is filter working at all. For this try change return lines from:

return $content;

to something like:

return "Hello world $content";

And refresh your page. If u will see “Hello world” at start – all ok, filter works fine.

Then u may check is dfrads function actualy exists, change code:
```
if (function_exists('dfrads')) {
	$ad = dfrads($id);
}
```
to:
```
if (function_exists('dfrads')) {
	$ad = dfrads($id);
} else return "FUNCTION DOES NOT EXISTS";
```
And again refresh page, if function exists nothing will happen, otherwise u will see the message.

And last one, if filter works, and function exists there is probably problems with regex, or maybe you are entering wrong id for ad.

Thank you I got this method working, however is there a way to show all of your ads on a page, rather than just displaying one at a time?

probably u can not do this with this plugin – as i remember it works that way – so u can show only one banner at a time

if u want more specific system and dont wan programm anything probably you should use something like google.com/dfp
