This is my first Drupal plugin – so I’m not sure how much mistakes I have made in creating this. Page Ad module allows the admin to add advertisement specific to a page. It will create a textarea in the edit/create page of content. Whatever HTML you type into it will be shown in a block anywhere on the client side display of that page.

Download Page Ad

Note: This module is for Drupal 5. I have not tested it in Drupal 6.

Note 2: I will not provide support for this plugin. If you run into any trouble, you are on your own.

Installation

• Download and extract the module
• Upload the module to sites/all/modules folder of Drupal.
• Enable the module from the admin side
• Edit the node.tpl.php template file and insert the code <?php print $page_ad ?> where you want the block to show up.
• Edit the template.php file and add the code 'page_ad' => t('Page Specific Ad') in the returning array for the regions function.
• Go to the block configuration page and set the ‘Page Specific Ad’ block with the ‘Page Specific Ad’ region.

This is a plugin that I created to learn a bit about Drupal. I did this quite a while ago. It may have a lot of error – because I’m not an expert in Drupal. I don’t use it much.

This is how the admin side will look…
