This is NOT resolved.

It appears that wp_enqueue_script() should not be called outside of init. The js files are not getting registered properly; so the dialogues don’t work.

This is a terrible implementation. It doesn’t work in Safari, apparently. Why not have a field or dropdown where the gallery can be specified.

Fancy for the sake of it. Give me something functional.

I’ve already modified the plugin to the point where I won’t be able to upgrade. But it was a pretty easy fix. Other changes I’ve made or will be making:

1) Add an impressions counter
2) Add a max impresssion setting
3) Add a fallback feature (rotate certain ads when no specific target add exists)
4) Add a log for verifying its working properly
5) Add start and stop dates

I’ve already done 1) through 4). Its not difficult. Your plugin is pretty easy to follow.

You need at least 1) and 2) to make your plugin commercially viable. You have to know how often an ad is viewed even on the smallest of sites.

I’m finding wp_bannerize to be a good starting point for a banner system, but there are a lot of features it needs to be something you can use for a serious business. At minimum you need to add start and end dates and an impressions counter. Unfortunely I can’t wait for the next release for feature requests.

To add impressions you need to :

1) add an impressions row to the wp_bannerize_a table
2) add code to the bannerize function in the front end to increment impressions
3) add a column to the edit table to view the impressions

Its not difficult if you know how to code php.

I don’t see that it could possibly work.

In the bannarize function, you pass an array to is_category(), which has no chance of succeeding. Then I don’t see that the $cat_id is included in the query in any way.

I’ve looked at enough now to be able to make it work the way I want. But it would be very useful to be able to associate a banner with one or more categories to really do category selection correctly. I’ll just need to create a group that matches the category name.
