1. Admin Panel for Creating and Managing Ads
2. Ads API Documentation

Admin Panel for Creating and Managing Ads

1.1 Overview

The admin panel allows administrators to:

• Create, edit, and delete advertising blocks.
• Choose the ad type: Image or Code (HTML/JS).
• Select the banner format: Square or Horizontal.
• Specify the ad location on the website (available options: sidebar, homepage, profile, category, blogs).
• For Image ads, provide a URL (link) where users are redirected on click.
• For Code ads, insert HTML/JS code. For example, you can insert a Google AdSense code snippet.
• When editing an ad of type Image, the current image is displayed with an option to delete the image without deleting the whole ad.

1.2 Form Fields for Creating/Editing Ads

When creating or editing an ad, the following fields are used:

• Title: The ad title (string, required).
• Ad Type: The type of ad (select between Image and Code (HTML/JS)).
• Banner Format: The ad format (select either Square or Horizontal).
• Location: The placement on the site (select from: sidebar, homepage, profile, category, blogs).
• Priority (Weight): A number indicating the display priority (useful for ordering/rotation).
• Link (URL): The URL to which the user is redirected (only for Image ads).
• Ad Code: HTML/JS code for the ad (used for Code ads). This field can include Google AdSense code.
• Ad Image: The image file for Image ads.

1.3 Integrating Google AdSense

To integrate Google AdSense:

1. Settings Panel:
   Navigate to Settings -> Global Settings (Google AdSense ID) in the admin panel. In the settings (see below), the administrator can specify a googleAdsenseId
   (for example, “ca-pub-3940256099942544”). This field is stored in the settings model.

2. SEO Component:
   The SEO component (using react-helmet-async) dynamically inserts the AdSense script if a googleAdsenseId is provided in the settings:

{settings.googleAdsenseId && (
 <script
   async
   src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"
   data-ad-client={settings.googleAdsenseId}
 ></script>
)}

This ensures that the AdSense library is loaded on every page.

3. Creating an Ad of Type “Code”:
   If the admin selects Code (HTML/JS) as the ad type, they can insert the AdSense code snippet into the adCode field. For example:

<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:block"
     data-ad-format="auto"
     data-ad-layout-key="-gw-1+2a-9x+5c"
     data-ad-slot="1234567890"></ins>

or

<a href="https://example.com">
<img src="https://placehold.co/300x300" width="300" height="300" />
</a>

In your React components that render this code (using dangerouslySetInnerHTML), you should call window.adsbygoogle.push() (wrapped in a useEffect) to initialize the ad.

1.4 Example Usage in the Admin Panel

The admin panel component (AdsPage) provides the following functionalities:

1. A form for creating/editing ads with the fields listed above.

• The Link field is displayed only for ads of type Image.
• When editing an Image ad, the current image is shown along with a Delete Image button. This button sends a PATCH request with an empty imageUrl, thereby deleting only the image.

2. A list of existing ads:

• Image ads display a small preview of the image.
• Code ads display an HTML preview (using dangerouslySetInnerHTML).
• Refer to the provided code for AdsPage (see below) for complete implementation details.
