Discover the latest updates and improvements to our custom creative templates for Google Ad Manager. Stay informed about new features, bug fixes, and optimizations to enhance your ad campaign performance.
NEW: Introduced the option to pause the animation when a user hovers over a creative.
UPDATED: Added new JS callback events and methods. Events: pause (triggered when animation is paused), resume (triggered when animation resumes), change (triggered when a slide has changed). Methods: pause (used to pause the animation), resume (used to resume the animation).
UPDATED: Included accessibility labels for images and buttons.
FIXED: Resolved a click issue on websites with AdSense page-level ads enabled.
NEW: Added the ability to trigger the creative's appearance using JS callbacks after a specified event occurs (e.g., display a creative when a user hovers over a designated element on your website).
FIXED: Addressed minor bugs related to positioning with the full width of the viewport.
NEW: Introduced a new configuration parameter to add space between the website and the sides. To add 5px of space, include "padding=5" in the "Configurations" field.
UPDATED: The header section will now be hidden when no auto-close text and logo are specified. This enhancement makes it easier to display the ad without the header section and ensures correct ad sizing calculation.
NEW: Added the option to set an elements filter to limit valid child elements for controlling where to render in text ads. This allows you to exclude specific elements, such as images or paragraphs with fewer than a specified number of characters. To implement this filter, use the following syntax: "tmpl.on("init", function() { tmpl.elemFilter = function(els) {return els;} });".
NEW: Introduced the ability to trigger the appearance of a creative after a specified event occurs using JS callbacks. This feature enables you to display a creative when a user expands all text content, for example.
NEW: Introducing the option to stick a creative to the top (default is bottom).
NEW: Implemented the ability to trigger creative appearance after a specified event occurs using JS callbacks (e.g., display a creative when a user hovers over a designated element on your website).
UPDATED: Improved the method for hiding items in the background, which now works with custom backgrounds for a creative, providing more flexibility in design options.
NEW: Option to set border for carousel items added;
NEW: Option to hide items in the background added (useful for when space is set between items);
UPDATED: The "Sides in View" field has been replaced with the "Sides" field for improved ease of use. This field now sets the number of sides for the carousel. If more sides are set than there are items (images), the remaining sides will be filled with duplicated items.
NEW: The ability to set the height to 0 to automatically calculate the ad container height has been added. This is useful for responsive HTML creatives and images to fill the entire area.
UPDATED: The template will no longer affect the website background color settings if there is no bottom offset set.
NEW: A "scroll down tip" button has been added, which scrolls the website down until the banner is out of the viewport;
UPDATED: A fix has been implemented to prevent the banner from being obscured on page load due to the browser retaining the previous scrolling position.
NEW: Set swipe/mouse move sensitivity - sets how quickly the carousel rotates on an event occurring. Set sensitivity in the "Configurations" field - "sensitivity=X" where "X" is a distance multiplier in percentages - 150=1.5; 100=1 (equal to no multiplier); 70=0.7; 50=0.5; 30=0.3, etc. The default is 70.
