Random Ads - ver: 1.0

[pchulpleusden]

First of all thanks for this great plug-in, I was looking for one like this.

Hi!
Is problem:
If create category and in category create one ad, plug-in dont work.
If create two ads, work good.
You can change this?

I will fix this issue. For now, I suggest if you want only 1 ad in a category, to make 2 identical ads.

Thanks

A little bit of help on that one:

Replace the old function display_ads:

Code:

function display_ads($category)
{
    $ad_count = 0;
    if(file_exists(ADSDATAFILE))
    {    
        $category_file = getXML(ADSDATAFILE);
    }
    foreach($category_file->category as $category_name)
    {
        if($category_name->categoryname == $category)        
        {
                    
            foreach($category_name->ad as $ad_counter)
            {
                $ad_count++;
            }

            $category_array = xml2array($category_name);
                $ad_count = rand (0, ($ad_count - 1));
                echo $category_array['ad'][$ad_count]->contents;
    
        }
    }
    

}

With my new one and it should be working.

Code:

function display_ads($category)
{
    $ad_count = -1;
    if(file_exists(ADSDATAFILE))
    {    
        $category_file = getXML(ADSDATAFILE);
    }
    foreach($category_file->category as $category_name)
    {
        if($category_name->categoryname == $category)        
        {
            foreach($category_name->ad as $ad_counter)
            {
                $ad_count++;
            }
            $category_array = xml2array($category_name);
            
            if($ad_count===0){
                echo $category_array['ad']['contents'];
            }else{
                $ad_count = rand (0, ($ad_count));
                echo $category_array['ad'][$ad_count]->contents;
            }
        }
    }
    

}

I'm also working on an option to show more than just one ad on a page.
