Turn ad sizes into config entities

Created on 16 April 2025, 12 days ago

Problem/Motivation

To enable a lot more flexibility using this module, the different available ad sizes could be turned into config entities. Currently, the system is a bit hard to use and unflexible (actual sizes are not shown, only names and there are blocks for every single size).

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Create a config entity for ad sizes that includes a name, width, and height
Keep all the previous size settings by creating entities for them via the update / install hook
Turn all the ad block contents into a single “ad block” content and make the size be a property of that block instead
Ensure proper content migration via update hook of course

We should call these "ad placements" or something like this perhaps, so that the site owner can decide how to use it with more flexibility.

Ad placements can this way be either created just by size, e.g. "Rectangle" or can even be more precise for a region, like "Content area rectangle".

They should therefore have a human-readable label and a machine name. The ad placement can be selected in the ad block (eventually multi-value) and in the ad to publish there (eventually multi-value).
