====== Incorporating Google AdSense ads in a wiki ======

The felixibility of DokuWiki lends itself to all sorts of applications, including blogs and CMSs. Some wiki owners have integrated contextual advertising into their wiki, the most popular being [[https://www.google.com/adsense|Google AdSense]].

Mostly this is a simple matter of including Google's code in your DokuWiki template. But Google's [[https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en|terms and conditions]] disallow the placing of adverts on some pages, including registration and login pages.

===== Adding Adsense to your wiki =====

==== by adsense plugin ====
You could use [[http://bzed.de/code/dokuwiki/googleads|this plugin]] to integrate adsense into your wiki. It does not allow to include adsense into wiki content yet, but this feature will come.

==== by phpinc plugin ====
You can also use the [[plugin:phpinc|phpinc plugin]] to include the advertising code inside contents.
To only show adsense advertising on "normal" page views, check the content of the global ''$ACT'' variable and only print the adsense code when it is set to ''show'':

<code php>
<?php if($GLOBALS['ACT'] == 'show'){ ?>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-5892664235245840";
google_alternate_color = "303538";
google_ad_width = 180;
google_ad_height = 150;
google_ad_format = "180x150_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "282C2F";
google_color_bg = "282C2F";
google_color_link = "1C86EE";
google_color_url = "1C86EE";
google_color_text = "222222";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
<?php } ?>

</code>

**Note**: the ''$ACT'' is accessed using ''$GLOBALS'' to avoid redeclaring it with **global** scope modifier.
