Google AdSense widget

Yii2 widget for displaying Google AdSense banners. This widget provides a convenient method for displaying Adsense banners in Yii2 templates.

This widget also makes it easy to disable Adsense, which can be useful for development. When disabled, this widget shows a dummy banner with the actual banner size and an indication whether this is a valid banner size for AdSense.

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

composer require geertw/yii2-adsense

or add

"geertw/yii2-adsense": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Configuration

You may configure application-wide settings using Yii2 params, or you can configure the widget per instance.

You must configure the settings client, slot and enabled in order to display banners.

In your params configuration:

<?php
return [
    'adsense' => [
        'client'  => 'ca-pub-1234567890123456',
        'slot'    => '1234567890',
        'enabled' => true,
    ],
];

You may override these when calling the widget.

Usage

Once the extension is installed and configured, simply use it in your code like this:

<div style="width: 728px; height: 90px">
    <?= \geertw\Yii2\Adsense\AdsenseWidget::widget(); ?>
</div>

If you want a non-default slot ID, or when you want to change other settings, use:

<div style="width: 728px; height: 90px">
    <?= \geertw\Yii2\Adsense\AdsenseWidget::widget(['slot' => '9012345678']); ?>
</div>

Configuration options

The following options are available:

• client - AdSense client ID
• slot - AdSense slot ID
• enabled - whether AdSense is enabled (defaults to false)
• responsive - whether to use responsive ad blocks (defaults to true)
• visible - whether the banner is visible at all (defaults to true)

When enabled is false, a dummy banner will be displayed. This banner shows the actual banner size and depending on the size, the banner is green for valid AdSense banner sizes and red for unknown banner sizes.

When visible is false, no banner at all is shown. This overrules enabled.
