Tremendous response!

Thanks all for your ideas and comments. A while ago i posted an article here asking you to comment on my progress with groups in AdRotate. Give me ideas, tips. Tell me your wishes.
The result: 1 comment asking for something unrelated. Hooray!

Seriously. one!

So i guess i have to figure it out by myself and watch the flurry of tickets appear when you lot try to use the system.
With such great responses… There is one thing missing; A whole lot of motivation.

So i’m not sure when it will be ready. I’d rather play Grand Theft Auto and EvE online at the moment.

AdRotate the very best plugin for ads?

Thorough investigation shows well over seven million (!!!) results on the search phrase “i’m using adrotate”.

Although this is hardly anything concrete. I’ve never seen or heard any other plugin or piece of software stating that specific line. This would then suggest that my plugin is in use on more than seven million one hundred ninety thousand (7190000) websites. More because the number is obviously rounded down and even more because this line can be hidden in the plugins options page.

It’s hardly believable… But Google is always right, right? And if true, an amazing number!

AdRotate group usage

For everyone using AdRotate.
Could you let me know via the comments or email how many groups you use on average.

I’m working on the long requested feature of adding ads to multiple groups and need a workable system for linking said ads into groups.
Obviously if you have more than 20 or so ads things can get messy. I was thinking to create a column overview of all ads with checkboxes. A user then can select a few ads per group. Another option is to make an text field and have the user fill in a comma separated list of the required groups. This however is less efficient and much more error prone.

Let me know in the comments or via mail what you think and want for this feature.
It will be great, but i need some input on your exact wishes. A mockup screenshot of what you think the form for adding/editing groups should look like is always welcomed.

To summarize; i need some input on a new feature to allow ads to be in multiple groups. Checkbox lists or text field, and your ideas about how to make it work.
Reach me via the comments or via mail.

Thanks in advance!

As a sneak preview, review the screenshots below. AdRotate will be smarter and better than ever with the renewed groups management and the new block manager. Making Ad placement even easier and managing the many ads you have even better. Along with several new and improved features AdRotate makes making money easier and more effortless.

Help me help you and send in your ideas and comments!!

WordPress 3.0

In respons to a support ticket claiming that Events does not work with WordPress 3.0.

I’ve just ran some tests on my test server with a fresh install of WordPress and an upgrade from 2.9.2. In both cases the Plugins AdRotate and Events worked as advertised and expected. Since the focus of WordPress 3.0 is NOT on plugin implementation or anything related to it i expect everything to work fine. However, I did not test every nook and bolt so if you run into some issue please do report it. http://meandmymac.net/support/

As far as the plugins are concerned. No major changes have been made for some time. Especially not to Events. I’m going to assume that every recent version of both Events and AdRotate will work fine, recent being 3-5 versions back. Depending on each changelog.

Officially only the last version of my plugins is supported. This means that if you run into trouble using an older version. Upgrade your plugin to the latest version and try again.
