Usage¶

Create a new ad¶

To create a new ad a user can use one of different entry points:

Warning

Not all pages are supported for ad creation. By default, only pages with dokType 1 (default pages) are allowed. This means e.g. for folders and other page types the following entry points do not exist. As an administrator you can add more dokTypes (e.g. own types, or types from extensions like blog post type from EXT:blog by extending the array of allowed types: $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['EXTENSIONS']['google_ads']['createAd']['allowedPageDokTypes'][] = \T3G\AgencyPack\Blog\Constants::DOKTYPE_BLOG_POST; // 137

Note

At this time of development, only pages can be used as targets for ads. This means, you can create ads for regular landing pages or for your blog, if you enabled this page type as described above. But you can not use a record based target, so single tx_news articles can not serve as an Google Ads target.

Message Center¶

The message center is the place where messages created during operations will be displayed. Messages can be read, (un)marked as read and deleted. The detail can be opened by clicking on a message. The top bar of the TYPO3 backend contains a menu item that lists all unread messages and links each message to its detail view.

Messages are created on Google Ads for TYPO3 and delivered to the TYPO3 instance initiating the operation. This does not necessarily happen in real time. A delay up to 10 minutes is common.
