Ad caches are composed of a +module 'ad_cache_TYPE.module' and an include file 'ad_cache_TYPE.inc' that live +in the 'cache/TYPE' subdirectory where 'TYPE' is replaced with the type of +cache. For example, the included file cache lives in 'cache/file'. + +The ad_cache_TYPE.inc file must have a function named ad_cache_TYPE() which is +used to display ads. It can optionally include a function titled +ad_cache_TYPE_variables used to extract any necessary variables from the global +$_GET array (this can also be used to override values that would normally be +set from $_GET). Any functions used by this code without bootstrapping Drupal +should also be in this file. + +The ad_cache_TYPE.module file should define the drupal _help() hook so the +module can be enabled. It should also define the _adcacheapi() hook allowing +for configuration and processing. Any functions used by this code after +bootstrapping Drupal should also be in this module. + +Refer to cache/file/* for an implementation example.
