[bd] Rotating Ads

This add-on has been submitted to RM: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/bd-rotating-ads.292/. You should go to the RM to get the latest version. And please do not post to this thread any more. Thank you.

Today I got this little goodie to share: Rotating Ads

As the name suggested, it allows you to rotate your ads randomly in all XenForo's hook positions. If you don't know what a hook is, no worry because the addon comes with a list of common positions so you can choose instead of find it our yourself.

Cool features (in my opinion)

• Allow you to specify any number of ads for each position. If there are more items configured for the position, they will be randomly selected
• Provide a special position: second post. Imaging you have a virtual post after the first post of all threads
• Support Widget Framework. If you happen to install Rotating Ads with Widget Framework, you will have 2 additional widgets to choose (use wrapper or not). You can create multiple widgets with different position codes to display different sets of ads in different pages. Note: this addon can work independently without Widget Framework.

Hope you like it

Screenshots

I was waiting for Lawrence update his add-on so that there would no longer any edits required. But look at that Thanks xfrocks as always for the awesome add-ons

PS: I wouldn't want to do this here but I can't get a hold of you for couple of weeks xfrocks. Would you be so kind and check your message box ?

Thank you.

Does this addon support google adsense?

Ya, nice to see something like this finally released, cheers. Screen Shots?

love you xfrocks hope you know that!!!

nice waiting for screenshot ...

Can any HTML be inserted?

Question: Is it possible to place ads right beside the sidebar?

Do the ads rotate in position... or is it a situation where they only rotate on a new page load?

Can't wait to view the screen shots.

Going to test it out after you uploaded a few of 'em, .

Expire Date doesn't seem to work in this addon...FYI

Is possible to change name and avatar in "second post" ads?

I am probably asking a dumb question but what is different between this and XenAms?

It supports all kind of HTML. Google Adsense of course.

You can use the position named "Sidebar Bottom" in the drop down menu. Or you can use the Widget Framework's renderer to have more freedom to place it yourself.

How did you test it? I changed the system clock to test and it worked. Please confirm?

It's current not possible to change the avatar but you can change the name. It's a phrase "rotating_ads_second_poster"

I don't follow recent development of XenAMS but this addon does not solely for focus on banner like XenAMS. It provide an easy way for admins to add whatever type of ads to places in the forums. I have sponsors who want to put flash banner, no problem with this addon. I have others who want to embed a script, no problem either. The admins can also easily set an expire date to let the ads destroy itself when the contract ends (like 1 month or 3). TL;DR: this addon provides simplicity. The goal is slightly different from XenAMS.

Oh, sorry to all those guys who wanted for the screenshots. They are up now

What position would this be:

Its not on the list but that would be <xen:hook name="ad_header" />

I'm writing ad_header as the custom position but it doesn't appear. Strange...

My bad, messed something up. My code appears now in that position. Thanks VonDoom
