Contents

[edit] Usage

Please change the code below to include your own publishing code and channel.

<center>
<adsense>
google_ad_client    = 'pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
google_ad_width     = 728;
google_ad_height    = 90;
google_ad_format    = '728x90_as';
google_ad_type      = 'text_image';
google_ad_channel   = '3267063621';
google_color_border = 'FFFFFF';
google_color_bg     = 'FFFFFF';
google_color_link   = '3D81EE';
google_color_text   = '000000';
google_color_url    = '3D81EE';
</adsense>
</center>

For securing your code against anonymous changes, create a template for the AdSense content, or for each type of ad you want to create. Call these Template:728x90_as or some naming strategy so you know the type of ad you are including into your article. Each template should then be protected so that only SysOps can edit and move the templates. Then include your template in any article by using the wiki markup {{728x90_as}}
