This piece of gold has saved me from numerous hours of work. It is an absolutely outstanding piece of work!

If you use an iframe, you won't need to exclude anything at all from W3 Total Cache since it will pull from the iframe each time no matter what. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/321798#post-1248897 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:59:23 +0000 cactuscarl 1248897@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm running into problems with ads rotating thanks to caching ( I read previous post on this topic too).</p> <p>In W3 Total Cache however, there's an option to exclude pages from being cached. I was thinking that I could use an iframe, I could put a URL in iframe that references a page to call the adrotate_banner() function. I would then exclude the page defined in the iframe from being cached.</p> <p>The problem I'm having is getting the code in page referenced by the iframe to work. Here's what I have (in a new at PHP so be nice):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (function_exists(&quot;adrotate_banner&quot;)) : ?&gt; &lt;?php echo adrotate_banner(&#39;2,6&#39;); ?&gt; &lt;?php else : ?&gt; &lt;?php echo &quot;Huh?&quot;; ?&gt; &lt;?php endif; ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>I'm thinking the function is out of scope and I need to use include_once or require_once to make this work.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adrotate/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adrotate/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/272366#post-1088102 Sun, 31 May 2009 18:41:55 +0000 bigsquaredot 1088102@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Not possible.

But stop moaning and bitching about my so-called inability to create upgrade scripts or lack of understanding on plugins altogether without at the very least pointing me in a direction which to your idea would solve your issues. Or even describe your issues. You are wasting your time. And more importantly my time. </p> <p>I can only assume that since the hundreds of other users didn't complain about this and i myself on several sites had no issues with it either you just do not understand how to use a plugin. Or at the very least are not able to read a manual or instructions.</p> <p>I also conclude, yes i read the other topic as well, that my plugin does not satisfy you. So please make yourself useful and find another plugin. That way we can both be out of each others hair. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/238631#post-1009148 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 15:52:40 +0000 bradstinyworld 1009148@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have finally upgraded to the latest version 2.2 and am using the link tracking. I must admit once you have it working it does work really well. I have however noticed anything above 1.0 does not work well in WordPress MU. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/246581#post-1003646 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 07:22:06 +0000 InfiniteKnight 1003646@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I feed OpenX into AdRotate... AdRotate provides a good plugin for WP that allows me to control where I place the ads in my WP install without having to tinker with alot of the back end and theme code (which I already mess with in terms of creating plugins and finding how things work to improve my own work.) </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/246581#post-998630 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 05:43:13 +0000 iSkywalker 998630@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>And who is better Adrotate or OpenX? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/246581#post-998546 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 04:02:06 +0000 iSkywalker 998546@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>InfiniteKnight! Thanks for the reply. I am still not sure if WP is the right blog script, I know that its a good script and free and same with all the open source free scripts, they don't have payment gateway or ads or memberships admin control panel. If I look in the future and my site will take on and be popular, then I need these features that mentioned to be ready to make some money to pay for the cost. I mean if the hosting company send an email to ask you to move up to dedicated server and you are not ready then it will be shut down. You have any suggestions. Cheers. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/246581#post-995978 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 22:41:54 +0000 InfiniteKnight 995978@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Nope... They survive by the Open X market... I have been using them since the days of phpAds and phpAdsNew, back when things were on SourceForge. When you stop to figure, 100M ad impressions isn't really that much traffic when your only serving a K or less of data per one, in relationship to the URL for the flash / image file, and the url that it points to... Personally, I host my own copy so I have absolute control over it instead of going the hosted route... Either way the system is very easy... Just be aware that hosting your own, you really should have access to CRON, and the system has about 5K worth of files, so if your limited by number of files, beware... But on the other hand, the system is a very through and complete system... So far I haven't found a feature I need that they don't include... </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/246581#post-995727 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 19:05:18 +0000 iSkywalker 995727@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks, so you are using openX, I need some feed back beause they seem suspicious, how do they survive if they can host yours for free and allow up to 100M ads impression/month. Did they win the lottery or what? Thanks. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/246581#post-995165 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 05:49:46 +0000 InfiniteKnight 995165@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>There are a number of ways of doing such, iSkywalker... I have an ad module installed on my WP site, (AdRotate), that I feed from a backend system, which powers all of my sites from one central point... The backend system is Open X - <a href="http://www.openx.org">http://www.openx.org</a>, which was once known as phpAdsNew till not long ago. Open X, is open source, so you can pick a copy up for free and host it yourself, or use their hosted version... Either route you go, I think you will find it to be quite powerful... </p> <p>Personally, I would like to see an addon like AdRotate that actually takes into account what level a user is, for example, showing more ads to a subscriber, then to a contributor, or if you had the ability to define more roles, such as membership levels, to reflect those who had directly contributed to your site's development and survival by showing less / no ads, etc... </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/246581#post-995159 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 05:40:45 +0000 iSkywalker 995159@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I find that all the open source blog scripts have no Get Paid admin where you can control the banner ads and all related types of ads and who is paying like an ad manager. It's ok when you host your site on a shared server but if your site pickups and you need to move to dedicated server for $200 a month. Whithout get paid module and ads manager, then you just have to shut down your site unless you are rich. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/229819#post-980527 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:23:43 +0000 chr1sbail3y 980527@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@shrikee, you should understand just how unmanageable you make this plugin when you decide to make these upgrades. A properly written plugin shouldn't break every time you upgrade it. Don't get defensive when people say it doesn't work...learn and improve your process. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/238631#post-980522 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:19:31 +0000 chr1sbail3y 980522@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm going to 100% agree with this review. AdRotate is a good plugin, but the author doesn't understand how to write upgrade scripts that work. Amazing that every single upgrade breaks the plugin meaning time lost trying to fix the author's poor planning. Unfortunate. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/238631#post-969826 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 11:54:51 +0000 bradstinyworld 969826@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Don't bother upgrading this plugin unless you are prepared to do a lot of work editing every one of your banners. That isn't ever spelled out anywhere by the author or anyone else, but anyone thinking of upgrading from version 1.0 should be aware that none of your banners will be visible much less rotate until you go through and edit every one of them. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/229819#post-969824 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 11:47:00 +0000 bradstinyworld 969824@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>@shrikee or perhaps the author shouldn't have fucked with the plugin so much. It simply isn't worth the trouble of upgrading... </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/235357#post-959424 Sun, 18 Jan 2009 19:08:09 +0000 maceman 959424@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi.</p> <p>This is one excellent plugin Thankyou.<br /> I have just updated one of my sites to Wordpress 2.7 .i have also updated Adrotate to Version 1.0.<br /> The issue is that now when I update a existing Ad and click the Save Banner button the banner changes are not saved.</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/229819#post-958442 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 09:30:17 +0000 SHRIKEE 958442@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>You really should have read the changelog... </p> <p>Wrap the %image% tag in <code>&lt;img&gt;</code></p> <p>eg: <code>&lt;img src=&quot;%image%&quot; /&gt;</code> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/229819#post-941013 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 11:06:29 +0000 diplomatv8 941013@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>After latest plugin update all images dissapeared.
