TS Ad Integrartion v 2.0 is the latest major upgrade of slayer’s custom widgets v1.0 which was released last year in august.
What does it do?
The main purpose of this plugin is to help you monetize your blog, in a smart way i mean. Ad Integration is an all-in-one ad managing platform which lets you create, manage and assign ads to your posts and sidebar as widgets (new feature).
Just as at Custom Widgets 2.0 the management and options panels were tuned up to fit the WordPress 2.7 design, and along with the tune-up we removed useless elements which used up the space. By this way everything got more organized and cleaner.
Assign Ads as sidebar widgets
Did i mention that you can now add your ads as sidebar widgets? I think i did, but eh here’s a quick in-depth look:
After setting the ad location as Sidebar Widget the plugin will automatically create a widget which you will be able to add to your widgetized sidebar from the good old widgets page. And there you have it, you can manage the ads from your sidebar also 
How do i use it?
After you’ve installed and activated the plugin a stand alone meu item will appear right below the main menu. This provides quick access to the Custom Widgets management section.
Main Management panel
There are 3 main segments in the management panel: The ads display box, The Options box and the Donation box.
The Ads display box will show all the Ads you’ve setup. Those ads which are written in light grey aren’t public, and those which are written in black are live and running.
The Options box is meant to give you more flexibility and it allows you to define a custom css for the ads and even add html code to appear before or after the ad. The max ad count per page defines the maximum number of ads that should appear in the same time on a page.(category pages, tag pages, etc).
Adding a new Ad
Things can’t get simpler than this! Adding a new ad takes just seconds(after a bit of practice of course) and you will easily realize that Ad Integration is a very powerful ad management plugin and it will save you a lot of time and earn you a lot of money(hopefully).
To distingush one ad from an other give a title to your ad(will be visible only to you via the management panel) and insert the html code. The exciting new feature in this release is thge much requested show in sidebar option which if delected will create a widget that will addable to your sidebar from the widget managemenet section.
If you choose to inser the ad into posts you can choose it’s location and it’s alignment. The final step of the new ad setup is the publish function where you can select to publish the ad or not.
Editing An Ad
You can easily edit an ad by clicking the Edit button in the right part of your ad management panel. This will take you to a page where you can edit your ad: rename it,change the code and it contains all the settings which were present on the Add new ad page + EXTRAS.
The extras consist in two handy features:
1) You can choose wether to load the ad automatically or manually. Loading the ad manually means that you will have to inser the generated code() into your post for the ad to show up.
2) By default after adding a new ad it will be automatically activated. You can deactivate it by selecting the No tickbox and saving the changes.

Have the same problem with this version as the one before. When I try to activate it I get this message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’
How does I fix that?
You get that error, because your php version is 4.x. I’ll get mbogdan to wrap up a release for php 4.x also. Sit tight!
Is there any news on the php v4 version ?
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

What now?
Hey,
Nice plugin! However your code doesn’t seem to work for me. It makes my pages load funny and doesn’t display the ads. If I set it to auto display ads they show up fine. However I’d prefer to manually add ads to the pages/posts I select. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Hi
I get the same error as those mentioned below any ETA on the php version 4.x.
Thanks
hi,
my php version is 5.0 and i still have pb !
I love your plugin . But I have a problem I have some php code on all my ad links that makes it possible to track the keywords that where used to get to my web page. I use Exec-PHP so that php will run in the posts. Now if just add the ad manually on the post it works. But through your script it does not run. Is there a way around this problem. The bit of code I use is this

also could you explain how to use the Custom CSS section in the Options section. I have added css to this section but it does not seam to do anything.
Do you have a small manual anywhere
