Hello,
WP-addpub is a very simple plugin that let’s you upload your banners or your html and javascript code to your blog. Can be used, also, for any kind of script (google adsense, paypal donate, youtube video…)
The advantages of this plugin:
* Enabling and disabling the banner
* Display banners in different areas.
* Ability to display a banner depending on any special field (category, tag,…).
* Ability to display a banner depending on the language using the field filter.
* Ability to add/edit a script banner ( since 1.2).
* Ability to display a random banner ( since 1.2.1).
Requires WordPress Version: 2.3 or higher
Installation:
1. Unzip the file and place the folder wp-addpub in the directory plugins wordpress \ wp-content \ plugins
2. Activate the plug wp-addpub
3. Go on the management of banners in the Options> WP-Addpub
Screenshot :
How-to use:
Add the following line in your theme:
-
<?php wp_addpub ( "bannerID=1" ) ; ?>
The parameter of the function is a string that contains variables:
* bannerID : Id of the banner
* zone: a text field that can be used to identify an area of your page (eg sidebar,… footer)
* filter: a text field that can be used as a criterion for display (ie value: French, English or Category1, Category2…)
* random : display a random banner (random=true) (since version 1.2.1)
These variables can be used separately or together (example: “zone=sidebar&filter=EN”)

when I download banner – Banner was added successfully. But in fields – no banners found. On local with same theme plugin works good. I look on server and saw that images load successfully. Why banners don’t show in admin panel?

This is a great plugin and it works very good. But unfortunatly there is no ALT-attribute in the [img] tag when you upload a banner and alt-attribute is required in HTML/XHTML. Could you please just add a alt=”" to the IMG-tag created by the plugin. That way it won’t break my pages.
Functionality request- would it be possible to get banner images from the media archive/store the uploaded banners in the media archive?
Thanks a lot for a great plugin!

Thank you very much. The tracking will be included soon in the next version.

This works a treat, is easy to set up and use, and is pretty flexible. Thank you so much!
The only improvements I can envision would be some sort of tracking, and maybe widgets for the different zones, if that’s possible. Tracking would be especially helpful.

Hello,
I am using your plugin and it’s great except for one thing. I have two banners set up in the sidebar and they are appearing randomly. The part that I can’t get to work is the field. When I switch between English and French I want only banners specific to the language to appear, but that part is not working.
Below is the code that I have set up:
When I use the wordpress admin for the plugin and specify the field to be english or french it doesn’t work.
I’ve tried different variations with no luck (e.g. en, English, en_EN, en_US).
Is there a solution?
Thanks!

Hi wareteam, nice job but without tracking there is no point in managing banners.
I´ve been searching for 3 days for a plugin which cover this requirements: easy flash banners integration, tracking, rotation and banner locations. But no luck. This one looks great when tracking is solved.
Muchas Gracias!

Hi dede,
Thank you very much, I really appreciate any kind of suggestion. Your ideas are welcome.
The stats system is a very interesting feature that i hope will be part of the next version (major version 2.0)

hello,
i really love this plugins, but can i suggest for next release? can you make the tracker too, so how many times that banner shows and how many clicks that banner clicked by user.

Hello iva,
Try to update the plugin to 1.2.5 and put the code to the file footer.php regarding to the zone you’ve mentionned.
< ?php wp_addpub('bannerID=1');?>
or the following code is recommended because the ID is unique and can’t be changed if you remove it so you have to change the code in the theme again.
< ?php wp_addpub('zone=footer');?>

Hi,
Before updating I’d like to know…
Is this new version including the CDATA tag to make it valid? I made that adjustment on my local copy of the plugin as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. Also I mentioned here that there is a problem with the SWF banner deployment depending on your permalink structure so I also added a get_bloginfo(’url’) to solve that. Is this also included in the new version?
Thanks.

Some may also change the user_access_level from 1 to a higher level. This will prevent “normal” users to see and access the backend page.
Change in wp-addpub.php
add_submenu_page(‘options-general.php’, ‘WP Addpub’, ‘WP AddPub’, 8, __FILE__, ‘wp_addpub_page’);

Hi,
i need to make that when i upload a banner of certain dimensions, the plugin resize that banner automatically. exmpl: if i have a banner of 123×12 the plugin resize it to 230×84px… i have tried with CSS but it doesn’t work…
please,
and thanks again for this great plugin!
greetings.

Please change the following line in function
function wp_addpub($args = “”)
from
$sql = ‘SELECT * FROM ‘.$table_banners.’ WHERE ‘.$WHERE.’ ‘.$ORDERBY.’ LIMIT 1;’;
to
$sql = ‘SELECT * FROM ‘.$table_banners.’ WHERE ‘.$WHERE.’ AND ACTIVE=\’1\’ ‘.$ORDERBY.’ LIMIT 1;’;
This will allow to select only active adds. Otherwide deactivated adds will prevent other active adds to be shown. Thanks.

You should have many banners. Probably with only 2 or 3 it appears with the same ID. (try to refresh the page many times)

Hi, I have tried the random function and it changed once, then the same banner always appeared… I don’t understand.
Thanks for your help.
I just discovered that script seems to block the Flash banner own LINK, even if I don’t use any link in the database.
#31 by admin on 21 July 2009 - 10 h 03 min

Hello,
Actually, you can do that. you can rotate all banners using random=true and if you use it with the field zone or/and filter you can display a random banner by categories or/and zone
e.g.:
< ?php wp_addpub("random=true&zone=sidebar"); ?> or < ?php $catid = get_the_category(); // get the ID of the category // show a random banner that has filter equal to the cat id and the zone is equal to sidebar wp_addpub('random=true&zone=sidebar&filter='.$catid[0]->term_id); ?>Thanks

Sorry, The line was not show in my last message… so here it is…
[php $a=array( '8', '9'); wp_addpub ( "bannerID=" . $a[array_rand($a)] ); /php]
#33 by Gilberto on 21 July 2009 - 9 h 43 min

I have a simple solution for rotating the banners…
And I just replaced the line with this code:
It will random show any of these bannerId’s, just remember to create the array with the bannerid that correspond to the zone you are using the banner.
Hope it could help, while we wait for version 1.3

Ok, I can’t make it work with the PRE tags but on line 224 the ALT tag needs to be added aswell. I have it now like:
alt=’ad space’
But a variable can be added there too.
#35 by Jorge on 19 July 2009 - 16 h 36 min

I thought by using PRE tags… let me try again:
echo ”

// ]]>

After the last modification were I included the blog URL to call absolutely the swf I was able to see the banners on deeper folders with my permalink structure. However, the code that calls the swf won’t pass the w3c validation. So I added CDATA tag online 97 and 101 like this:
echo ”
//file_url).”&href=”.urlencode($Recordset[0]->file_link).”&target=”.$Recordset[0]->target.”\”, \”".addslashes($Recordset[0]->title).”\”, \”".$Recordset[0]->width.”\”, \”".$Recordset[0]->height.”\”, \”".$Recordset[0]->version.”\”);
so.write(\”wp-banner_div_”.$Recordset[0]->ID.”\”);
// ]]>”;

I need more specific instructions for how to show a different banner in the sidebar of each category.
When I’m adding a new banner, for “zone” would I put “sidebar” (without quotes, of course) and do I specify right or left? Does it really matter since I am inserting the code there myself? And how do I word “filter”? … “cat=red widgets” or “category=red widgets” or “$catid = getthecategory();”???
Then if I have 10 categories, do I put 10 lines of code into the sidebar template? What wording to I use to specify the categories there?
Thanks for any help you can provide. I really want to get this working.

I hope you can delete these comments that are not working for me. The bottom line is that my sidebar code now has li and ul tags for the other items. when I put in the one line of code as per the installation instruction above into the sidebar.php file, nothing happens so I am wondering if I should add div tags etc?

I have read and tried the related info in the above comments but because I have a customised template I think something may be different as the following code in my sidebar does not work. A number of other configurations with ul and li tags does not work for me either. When I install wp-addpub-banners, is there related code in functions or something? If there is, I will go there and check to see if it exists.

Hi,
Thanks for the update. I think I found another glitch. Depending on your permalinks structure your flash ads wont show on the deeper folders. I changed a line (line 98 on wp-addpub.php) to include the absolute path to the url from this:
var so = new SWFObject(\”wp-content/…..
to this:
var so = new SWFObject(\”".get_bloginfo(‘url’).”/wp-content/…..
it worked for me
