AdRotate 3.7.1

Bugfix release!

Some small fixes and tweaks:

[fix] Ambiguous schedule checking
[fix] Sortorder on banner management
[fix] Tabindex on ad creation
[fix] Minor code optimization in selecting ads (removed unused code)

A few people seem unhappy with the new blocks restricting size. Just like many people hated the original wrapper at first. It’ll pass.
I am however looking into a more flexible sizing scheme. For now there is no easy solution for it because the database needs to be changed for it to accept anything but numbers. A few suggested allowing the size “auto”. This seems useful, but the actual pixel size is used to calculate the size of the block. So it needs to time and trickery to make that work. In the larger picture it’s not a real priority but will be looked at for a future version.

Blocks wrapper and how it will work.

After my earlier post there has been some ‘unrest’ about the wrapper code being removed in a future version.

Enough so to make me reconsider removing it. The new wrapper functions were designed to co-exist with any custom CSS you threw at it. This means the current per-ad wrapper will ofcourse work just fine within the new wrapper. Just make sure you keep count of the margins and paddings.

Anyway, i’ve had numerous comments from people on how much they love the old wrapper and the new wrapper is not sufficient for their hackery and tricks. Fair enough. Not being able to type your own code does impose some limits. So the wrapper will stay. As some suggested, even expanded. But for now it just stays the way it is.

This means that for novice users, you can use the new wrapper, setting the options it provide. More advanced users can use both, or ignore the new wrapper (setting the margin and such to 0) and use the wrapper as you always did.
