Re: Better way to manage Ad Extensions?
Hi Anash
Is it possible to just update a sitelink url with out deleting and re-
creating?
I've tried and got a OperatorError.OPERATOR_NOT_SUPPORTED error.
Could you provide some code?
Cheers

Hi Joel,
To add (or modify)SiteLinksfor a campaign, you have to
- Check if there is an active SiteLinkExtension. If yes, remove it.
(Otherwise you will get
CANNOT_HAVE_MULTIPLE_SITELINKS_EXTENSIONS_PER_CAMPAIGN).
- Add a new SiteLinkExtension with the desiredSiteLinks.
The sample code in C# to check if a campaign has activesitelinksis
given below:
long siteLinkExtensionId = -1;
// Get the campaign ad extension containingsitelinks.
CampaignAdExtensionSelector selector = new
CampaignAdExtensionSelector();
selector.campaignIds = new long[] { campaignId };
selector.statuses = new CampaignAdExtensionStatus[]
{ CampaignAdExtensionStatus.ACTIVE };
CampaignAdExtensionPage page = campaignExtensionService.get(selector);
if (page != null page.entries != null) {
foreach (CampaignAdExtension extension in page.entries) {
if (extension.adExtension is SitelinksExtension) {
siteLinkExtensionId = extension.adExtension.id;
break;
}
}
}
If there are activesitelinks, then you can remove them as follows:
if (siteLinkExtensionId == -1) {
return; // No activesitelinks, so no need to remove.
}
CampaignAdExtension campaignAdExtension = new CampaignAdExtension();
campaignAdExtension.campaignId = campaignId;
campaignAdExtension.adExtension = new AdExtension(); // no need to
create a SiteLinksExtension here, just an AdExtension would do.
campaignAdExtension.adExtension.id = siteLinkExtensionId;
CampaignAdExtensionOperation operation = new
CampaignAdExtensionOperation();
operati...@operator = Operator.REMOVE;
operation.operand = campaignAdExtension;
CampaignAdExtensionReturnValue retVal =
campaignExtensionService.mutate(new CampaignAdExtensionOperation[]
{ operation });
Now you can addsitelinksas follows:
// create yoursitelinks.
Sitelink siteLink = new Sitelink();
siteLink.displayText = New albums;
siteLink.destinationUrl = http://www.example.com/albums/new;;
SitelinksExtension siteLinkExtension = new SitelinksExtension();
siteLinkExtension.sitelinks= new Sitelink[] {siteLink};
CampaignAdExtension campaignAdExtension = new CampaignAdExtension();
campaignAdExtension.adExtension = siteLinkExtension;
campaignAdExtension.campaignId = campaignId;
CampaignAdExtensionOperation operation = new
CampaignAdExtensionOperation();
operati...@operator = Operator.ADD;
operation.operand = campaignAdExtension;
CampaignAdExtensionReturnValue retVal =
campaignExtensionService.mutate(new CampaignAdExtensionOperation[]
{operation});
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions.

Re: Better way to manage Ad Extensions?
Thank you, that worked. I was 99% of the way there.
The only difference is that in my REMOVE operation I was using new
SiteLinkExtension() whereas you used new AdExtension(); // no
need to create a SiteLinksExtension here, just an AdExtension would
do.
So for future reference for others: use the generic AdExtension object
in REMOVES.
Thanks,
Joel
