Admob???

[kdubhotsauce]

I really need help cause i cant get these ads to work and its driving me crazy! I'm not too developer savvy and therefore using ares to make my app. I want to put admob ads on my app. I already have an account, publisher id and etc and i know the code they posted up on Google code. However, i just i cant get it to work! Can someone PLEASE HELP ME or even if you give me the code. I only have the stage-assistant and the main assistant so the ads would go in the Main-Assistant! SOMEONE PLEASE HELp!

Try this:

Under apps, create a new dir called say "utils", and put the admob.js file in there.

Then follow the directions on the google code page

Tried that, still doesn't work. Is there a javascript function i have to create?

In your main assistant.js file, you need to include the code marked "In your main scene first initialize AdMob with: " in the setup() function.

In the same setup file you want to copy the other code as well and change "YourPubId-bottom-ad-position" to be an id of the element in the main scene you want to become the ad.

HUH/ thanks for your help, but i dont understand one bit, do you think you could possibly post the code Thanks!

The website you link to has 3 code snippets.

You want to add

{"source": "app\/utils\/admob.js"},

to your sources.json file

In your mainassistant.js file:

  AdMob.ad.initialize({
                pub_id: 'YourPubId', // your publisher id
                bg_color: '#ccc', // optional background color, defaults to #fff
                text_color: '#333', // optional background color, defaults to #000
                test_mode: true // optional, set to true for testing ads, remove or set to false for production
  });

        AdMob.ad.request({
                onSuccess: (function (ad) { // successful ad call, parameter 'ad' is the html markup for the ad
                        this.controller.get('admob_ad').insert(ad); // place mark up in the the previously declared div
                }).bind(this),
                onFailure: (function () { // no ad was returned or call was unsuccessful
                        // do nothing? 
                }).bind(this),
    
        });

pub_id: 'YourPubId' - replace YourPubId with the id admob gave you

You also need to add to main-scene.html this code:

<div id="admob_ad"></div>

This will become your ad code

WOW, i seriously must suck at this cause i still am not getting it to work. i've got everything except the main assistant part. it keeps crashing my app (white screen) do you think you could possibly write the whole main-assistant or is taht and i am actually making an error and theres nothing left. I really appreciated this btw.

[kdubhotsauce]

Im not sure if i did this right cause it still aint working but atleast my app isn't crashing

MainAssistant.prototype.setup = function() {  AdMob.ad.initialize({
                pub_id: 'My pubid #', // your publisher id
                bg_color: '#ccc', // optional background color, defaults to #fff
                text_color: '#333', // optional background color, defaults to #000
                test_mode: true // optional, set to true for testing ads, remove or set to false for production
  });

        AdMob.ad.request({
                onSuccess: (function (ad) { // successful ad call, parameter 'ad' is the html markup for the ad
                        this.controller.get('admob_ad').insert(ad); // place mark up in the the previously declared div
                }).bind(this),
                onFailure: (function () { // no ad was returned or call was unsuccessful
                        // do nothing? 
                }).bind(this),
    
        });

}

im starting to think its ares thats not letting me do it...

[jdforsythe]

did you change:

My pubid #

to your pubid number in the code? if not it obviously won't work...

BUMP

I am also having problems with this, i have learned that alot of functions do not work right in ares and things are slightly changed which causes an entire app to crash. really frustrating when you actually research how to do something but all instructions are for the mojo sdk and dont work in ares. shouldnt palm have made them work together not separately? I cant get it to work either, ive tried alot of different things so far.

        AdMob.ad.request({

                        this.controller.get('admob_ad').insert(ad); // place mark up in the the previously declared div

                }).bind(this),
    
        });

}

Is "Main-assistant.js need to be added to you app files or is it the main scene of your app?
