Scrolling ads with arrows

  • Hi datafeedrcom,

    I’m using the new version of your plugin and it works great, very robust. I’m wondering if there’s an easy way to implement scrolling ads. Say I wanted 3 text ads at the bottom of posts with the ability to scroll through them. Similar to the flexslider found at primalblueprint.com, except I don’t need the button navigation at the bottom or any fade in/fade out effects necessarily, just arrows which allow you to scroll through a group of ads. I’d love to be able to do this with your plugin.

    thanks!
    Kristin

    Hi Kristin,

    That sounds like it would be possible without modifying the plugin. Just use the width, height and overflow CSS properties: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_pos_overflow.asp

    That could work, but I don’t want a normal grey scrollbar to navigate it, and it looks like css customizing of scrollbar only works in webkit browsers.

    Hi,

    Flexslider appears to be free and well documented… https://flexslider.woothemes.com/

    Why not just use Flexslider for your needs? There’s no reason it wouldn’t work. Just use CSS to hide the navigational elements you don’t want.

    I like the customization that comes with Datafeedr, particularly the flexibility through WP admin panel.

    Is there some sort of next/prev a href code I could wrap the datafeedr php code in? Something that could navigate you through the ads in a group, like:

    <a href="<?php CODE FOR PREV AD IN GROUP ?>">laquo;</a>
<?php echo dfads( 'groups=670&limit=1&orderby=menu_order&order=ASC' ); ?>
<a href="<?php CODE FOR NEXT AD IN GROUP ?>">raquo;</a>

    Thanks very much,
    – Kristin

    Hi Kristin,

    No, this is not possible without modification to the code.
