DEPRECATION WARNING
This documentation is not using the current rendering mechanism and is probably outdated. The extension maintainer should switch to the new system. Details on how to use the rendering mechanism can be found here.
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.

Button in Edit page record¶
Button in List module¶
The create form¶
If you have found the way into the create form you will see for example the following form. Some of the fields will be pre-filled with data from the page where you started, but you can change anything you like.
Pause a running campaign¶
Resume a paused campaign¶
Delete an ad¶
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.
