It allows the site owner to create snippets of content that are displayed according to the visitor's Geo-Location or a given Date and Time.<\/p>\n\n<p>Assign multiple Snippets to a Snippet Group to control which ones are displayed by the shortcode. Handle overlapping Snippets by setting Priorities.<\/p>\n\n<p>Usage Examples:<\/p>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Sell the same page area to multiple advertisers based on time of day (allows you to multiply your gains and set different rates for the same space ? la 'Prime Time')<\/li>\n<li>Choose which affiliate links to display according to your visitor's country (e.g. display amazon.ca, amazon.de, amazon.co.uk, amazon.com affiliate links to visitors from Canada, Germany, the UK, and everywhere else, respectively)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload cronblocks.zip to your blog's wp-content\/plugins directory;<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin in your Plugin Admin interface;<\/li>\n<li>Create Snippets and assign them to Snippet Groups;<\/li>\n<li>Place the shortcode in a post\/page\/widget where you want your snippet to appear;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>Why can I only select Country (and not Region or City) for Geo-Location?<\/dt>\n<dd><ul>\n<li>This plugin uses Maxmind's GeoIP database to identify your visitor's Geo-Location. To identify a Region or City, we'd need to use a different database which, zipped, takes up 18MB - just way too large for a WordPress Plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n<dt>Can I choose multiple conditions for a given snippet?<\/dt>\n<dd><ul>\n<li>No, current functionality only allows a snippet to answer to a single scheduling rule OR to a single Geo-Location rule. A workaround is to create multiple snippets with the same content and different rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n<dt>Can I embed snippets inside snippets?<\/dt>\n<dd><ul>\n<li>Yes, you can. Just be careful not to create an infinite loop by assigning a group that contains the current snippet.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n<dt>What about snippets in widgets?<\/dt>\n<dd><ul>\n<li>That works, too - we turn on do_shortcodes() in widgets if it's not already turned on.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n<dt>How do I control snippet positioning in a post or page?<\/dt>\n<dd><ul>\n<li>Using WordPress' text editor, you can add whatever content or HTML that you want, including CSS. Wrap the shortcode in a div and use CSS to style your post however you prefer.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n<dt>I'd like to extend the functionality. Will you do that?<\/dt>\n<dd><ul>\n<li>Contact us to tell us what you need. We do plan to build a Premium add-on plugin which will offer the following:\n\n<ul>\n<li>Enable multiple control conditions of each type, and mix\/match <\/li>\n<li>Keep and show statistics of snippets being displayed<\/li>\n<li>Optionally display snippets based on the visitor's local time    <\/li>\n<li>Optionally reload the snippet group after a given amount of time (say a visitor is watching a video, reload the snippet group after 3 minutes)<\/li>\n<li>Enable Region and City scope<\/li>\n<li>Use Maxmind GeoIP2 database, which is more accurate than the GeoIP   <\/li>\n<li>Allow overriding of snippet options via the shortcode attributes<\/li>\n<li>Set up roles that can access the snippet administration    <\/li>\n<li>Add an icon to the TinyMCE interface as a shortcut to inserting the shortcode        <\/li>\n<li>Add a Snippet Group Widget<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n<!--section=changelog-->\n<h4>1.0.1<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Minor fixes and adjustments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>1.0<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Initial release<\/li>\n<\/ul>","raw_excerpt":"Control which snippets of content get displayed to your visitors based on Scheduling or Geo-Location.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/26454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26454"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/usestrict"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=26454"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=26454"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=26454"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=26454"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=26454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
