I was having trouble combining this plugin with Section Widget, mainly to display different ads based on tags or categories. As Section Widget allows shortcodes, I was confused [ad#name] wasn't working.
After digging into the code, I've realized (being somewhat a wordpress noob), that [ad#name] isn't a real shortcode but a filter for posts. I just added the following into advertising-manager.php (blatantly based on the shorcode API page example):
function advman_shortcode($atts) {
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
'name' => 'name'
), $atts));
return advman_ad($name);
}
add_shortcode('ad', 'advman_shortcode');
And using it as [ad name="name"] works! But I'd really appreciate if you could give an "official" version for this shortcode ;-)
Thanks for this great plugin, BTW!
