\# Authorized Digital Sellers Manager Tool ADS.TXT manager for Drupal 8 is a module to manage the ads.txt configuration. This is particularly useful if you have to maintain multiple ads.txt file across all your websites.

Installing ADS.TXT manager via Composer
---------------------------------------

[](#installing-adstxt-manager-via-composer)

You can install ADS.TXT manager using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org) by running the following:

```
$ composer require SPHDD/authorized_digital_sellers:"^1"
```

Features
--------

[](#features)

1. Able to act as Master-Slave. If you're managing multiple websites with the same ads.txt file everywhere, this will improve your productivity.
2. Serve a cached but outdated ads.txt if the Master fails to respond.
3. Fallback to Self-Managed ads.txt if there is no cached version and Master fails to respond.
4. Ability to set HTTP Cache-Control. Useful if you have HTTP accelerators and CDNs that respect the cache-control setting.

Configure
---------

[](#configure)

- Enable "Authorized Digital Sellers Manager" in Drupal 8
- Delete the physical ads.txt on your root, if any
- Go to configure the Authorized Digital Sellers settings (/admin/config/services/authorized\_digital\_sellers)
    - External File Management or Self-Managed:
        - Self-Managed: If you want to manage the content independently, or act as the master ads.txt copy
        - External File Management: If you are relying on external ads.txt copy
    - External ADS file
        - Input the absolute URL of the external ads.txt copy, if you selected "External File Management"
    - External ADS file refresh rate
        - The period of time to get a fresh copy of ads.txt from External ADS File
        - The values must be parsable with [strtotime()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php)
        - It must be a figure set in the future (duh!)
        - Leave blank if you want to hit the external ads.txt every time
    - Fallback to Self-Managed
        - Life ain't a bed of roses. If the external ads.txt fails to return, would you like to fallback to the self-managed ADS text file?
    - Self Managed ADS text file
        - If you selected "Self-Managed", then you must input the ads information here
    - HTTP Cache Control
        - Set the period of cache via HTTP
        - The values must be parsable with [strtotime()](http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php)
        - It must be a figure set in the future (duh!)
        - Leave blank for no-store

Proposed Future Features
------------------------

[](#proposed-future-features)

- Detection of ads.txt file and deletion from admin console
- Automatic purging of Varnish ads.txt on fresh copy from Master
- Automatic purging of CDN ads.txt on fresh copy from Master
    - Edgecast
    - Cloudfront
