The unlimited widget experiment

On the forums Olaf under the name Topsys made an interresting hack to AdRotate.
He wrote some code that allows unlimited widgets for AdRotate and posted it on the forum with instructions.

I find this an interresting enough feature to include in the plugin but as he states it needs some testing. You can find the thread here:
http://forum.at.meandmymac.net/topic/code-for-unlimited-widgets

Obviously using this hack is as of yet, unsupported. If things will work out i will include it in a later version.
So if you’re interested and like the way Topsys made things work try it out and let us know in the thread what your experiences are. Also suggestions for improvements are welcome ofcourse!

AdRotate 2.5.1 and the way ads work

In AdRotate 2.5 a new way of picking banner images was introduced.
You can now enable the media browser and pick images from there.

This forced me to change the way AdRotate stores it’s image path. WHere the old way would just require the filename the new method requires the full url.

Because of this, ads with an image selected from the dropdown menu will not show until you edit and save the ad. This has to be done once for each ad.

Images not working thread.

AdRotate 2.5.1

Bugfix release!

It is advised to update as soon as possible as some new features simply do not work as intended in 2.5.
This update should fix it all:
[fix] Banner renewal and reset from the edit screen
[fix] Saving option to include media in the banner image dropdown
[fix] Media picker dropdown menu
[fix] If selected image is a media file it will search for the right file instead of assuming the banners/ folder
[new] Tag %id% to allow for custom CSS styles when writing the code for ads

Let me know if anything goes wrong.
