My name is Karol Krizka, and I am a undergraduate student at SFU where I study physics and computer science. In my free time, I write simple applications and play with my PSP.New WordPress Plug-In: Kontera Integration
There is a new WordPress plug-in in my repertoire called Kontera Integration. I decided to write this plug-in after I learned that PayPerPost requires that none of the posts submitted to them contain any form of advertising that overlaps the text. Sadly, this is what Kontera Advertising Network does, so I had to manually disable it for every review that I wrote. This ended up being very repetitive, so I decided to write a plug-in that lets me specify which posts to enable or disable Kontera ads for. After you activate this plug-in, you will see a box in the sidebar of the post editor called “Kontera Integration”. Setting it to “no” will disable all Kontera ads for that post, but still show them in any others.
There are a few more features that I decided to implement. First of all, now it’s very simple to change the color of the ad links and other customizations, because they are options in your WordPress panel now. Also the plug-in restricts the Kontera ads into your blog posts, which should increase your click through percentage.

Download
Installation
The installation of this plug-in is quite simple. After you have downloaded the Kontera Integration plugin from here and uploaded it into the wp-content/plugins directory, browse into the Kontera Integration tab found in the Options section of your WordPress admin panel. There you will have to set your Publisher ID, which can be found in the default ad code supplied by Kontera. I have highlighted it in the following screenshot.
Yes, I am aware of Rodney Shupe’s Kontera ContentLinks / MIVA InLine plug-in. But his plug-in does not offer the features that I needed. For example, you cannot specify which posts to Konteratify or you cannot configure the ads through the admin panel. However his plug-in also works with the MIVA Network, and supports WordPress MU.

Thank you for the excellent plugins.
Hi,
The idea behind this plug-in is excellent. I grabbed a copy and installed it today.. Kontera Ads are turned on by default except for PPP posts, where I’ve manually disabled them using your options panel. However, none of the KonAds are appearing ever since I installed the plug-in. If you check the source of the page(s), the Kona code is entirely missing !! The plug-in is installed and active… any ideas where / why it’s going wrong?

Hi there,
I installed the fixed version and Bingo! The ads started appearing in a while. Great work on the plug-in.
Thank you for your prompt response
Cheers,

Forgot to mention… since you got the content targeting on with the KonaBody div, it works even better.
The earlier plug-in I was using (Rodney’s Kontera DynamiContext) had some sort of a problem with it causing the targeting div to wrap around the div containing the Post Popularity Rating ONLY !!! As a result none of the ads would show. When I edited the plug-in and removed the targeting code, the ads started showing up all over the page (not just the content)… in short, it was a sick mess
Cheers,

Came across a minor problem with the plug-in.
For posts which aren’t supposed to display the Kontera ads, the plugin wraps the content body in a span named KonaFilter - right?
Now, I don’t know whether it’s because of the plug-in itself or WordPress’s own parsing engine, the statement is getting wrapped within tags. Similarly, the ending tag is also enclosed within the paragraph tags.
Example:
…
Code for Post title
…
…
Post Body
…
This is causing invalid markup when passed through the W3 XHTML Validator. Each instance of KonaFilter causes 2 validation errors - due to two mismatched starting/ending span tags.
Any quick-fix for this?
Please delete the last comment - the HTML tags got filtered out from it. You probably won’t be able to see problem. Here it is again..

Errm.. never mind the comments. I’ll mail you directly. The HTML tags got filtered out even after I applied spaces, like: < tag >
I’ll try to mail you instead.
Thanks for reporting it, I got your email!

Ive installed the plugin and its not showing. However if I view source of my home page it all looks fine. Problem with Kontera?

Thanks!
It’s most likely a problem with Kontera, because my ads aren’t showing up right now either.
I think its a problem with kontera as not even this simple test page is working:

Okay thanks very much!

I’m having the same problem as the earlier guy…what was the fix? I have the kontera plugin installed and active but it’s not showing on my posts. i don’t even see the code in the source. Also, whenever I turn it on for a post, it causes my first paragraph to have a different font size/face from the rest of the post. I fixed this by adding a paragraph tag before the post and that fixes it. I guess it is getting replaced by the kontera div tag…any help would be appreciated!
Mines working now, guess it was a problem with Kontera.

I’m glad you got it working.

thanks
I guess we’ll just have to install and see!

The ads is not showing. Even it’s set to yes.
Anyone could help me on this?
Thanks.
Make sure your theme is calling the wp_footer() function at the end.
hey, thanks for the reply. How do i call the wp_footer() function ? How to check? is it in the footer.php ?
In your admin panel, go to Presentations->Theme Editor. And from the list on the right hand side, click on the link that says “Footer”, it should then display the code for it.
Thanks it’s working after i add in
Brilliant absolutely. I’ve been using another, which didn’t suit my needs and was happy to find yours. And so easy to install and get on with things. Thanks so much.

This plugin is just what I was looking for to start showing Kontera all over my blogs. I use themes from http://www.zenphotothemes.com/, and the plugin worked fine with most of them but it is incompatible with their bluecrunch theme - the plugin was sending the columns adrift.But it works fine with the purple, green and black versions of the same theme! I am going to have to upload new versions when I have the time.
