4.2.3 The nwa_adspace Smarty Template tag
NOTE Use of the nwa_adspace Smarty Template tag is for advanced users. You
need to understand HTML and Smarty Templates to be able to use it
correctly.
NOTE Refer to the amigopod Deployment Guide for more information about Smarty
Templates and HTML.
The nwa_adspace tag can placed into HTML fields that:
1. Support Smarty Template evaluation, and
2. Belong to pages that support advertising.
NOTE To see which pages support advertising, navigate to the pages list
(Advertising Services » Pages), which is also described in section 4.1.1
above.
The nwa_adspace tag supports the following parameters:
location: The value of the Location field that must be set for
an advertising space to be matched by location.
IMPORTANT You must specify either a location or a name. The nwa_adspace tag will
emit an error if you do not specify at least one of these parameters.
If a location parameter is specified, then the value of the location parameter
will be compared to the Location field of each advertising space (§4.2.2.1). If
the values match, then advertisements will be delivered, at the point in the
HTML where the nwa_adspace tag is defined, according to any constraints
defined by the advertising space.
NOTE To see which Location value that a space uses, review the Location column
in the spaces list (Advertising Services » Spaces), which is also described in
section 4.2.1 above.
Advertising spaces support a number of preset Location options as well as
custom locations via the Other Location field. The following values are
supported for the location parameter:
