Best way to add ads? Template?

[Michael Silvia]

Looking for monetize my calendar a little. What is the best way to add short code or Adsense to the calendar? I’m sure I can just add to the templates, but I guess I’m:

1. Suggesting a place in the Admin area to add code (common areas)

2. Asking, what is the best templates to edit?

Hey Michael, that’s a great question.

I think the easiest way to go would be a customizing the calendar template itself. Our Themer’s Guide is a great place to start with template overrides, but it basically boils down to this:

• Make a copy of the default-template.php template. It’s located at /plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/default-template.php
• Make a new folder in your theme file called tribe-events
• Drop the copied default-template.php file in there

Now that the template is in the theme, you can modify it to suit your needs. In this case, drop in the ad script where you would like it to display and it will do so on the main calendar template.

You can repeat this process on the single-event.php file as well to display ads on the event posts themselves.

Will this work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
