Easyrotator in Network Mode

Hi @cj_guest,

Thanks for using EasyRotator for WordPress. By default, multisite setups function with each site having separate rotators. If you’d like all sites to share the same rotators, please see the instructions and code snippet here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/easy-rotator-and-multisite

Please let me know if I may provide any additional clarification.

Sincerely,
Drew O’Neill

The Rotators are sharing/working fine on all sites – not an issue but I cannot get into the app to edit/create any of the rotators it just keeps opening the dialog box:

“Use the manager below to create or select an existing rotator to embed in your post:”

Hi,

If you also want to be able to edit rotators from the main site (so that all sites share rotators completely), you’ll also need to edit the getContentDir() and getContentDirURL() methods in the easyrotator-for-wordpress/engine/main.php file. In the first, update this line (around 1544):

$uploadDir = $uploadInfo['basedir'];

Instead, use the complete path. For example:

$uploadDir = '/var/www/domain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads'; //$uploadInfo['basedir'];

In the second, update this line (around 1560):

$uploadURL = $uploadInfo['baseurl'];

Instead, use the complete URL. For example:

$uploadURL = 'https://www.domain.com/wp-content/uploads'; //$uploadInfo['baseurl'];

Hi

I tried this and changed each line as instructed. Kept telling me when going to each domain directory doesn’t exists – yet it does. Having achieved nothing changed to code in main.php back to what it was, and now I cannot move away from this screen as I keep getting the error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/45/d392056467/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/easyrotator-for-wordpress/engine/main.php on line 1544

yet the code hasn’t changed from the original (below):

// The upload dir exists; no errors.  Return the path (without creating it; that was done upon activation via above createContentDirIfNeeded() method).
			$uploadDir = $uploadInfo['basedir'];
			return ($uploadDir . '/' . EasyRotatorPluginConfig::$contentDirWrapperName . '/' . EasyRotatorPluginConfig::$contentDirName . '/');
		}

		// If we made it to here, the upload dir doesn't exist or isn't writable.  Need to warn user.  Return fake path that will trigger other errors.
		return $this->_fakeContentDirPath;
	}

	private function getContentDirURL()
	{
		// Get the upload dir info
		$uploadInfo = wp_upload_dir();
		if ($uploadInfo['error'] === false)
		{
			// The upload dir exists; no errors.  Return the path (without creating it; that was done upon activation via above createContentDirIfNeeded() method).
			$uploadURL = $uploadInfo['baseurl'];
			return ($uploadURL . '/' . EasyRotatorPluginConfig::$contentDirWrapperName . '/' . EasyRotatorPluginConfig::$contentDirName . '/');
		}

My whole website is down now with this error message displayed!

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /homepages/45/d392056467/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/easyrotator-for-wordpress/engine/main.php on line 1544

Hi,

I’m sorry for the delayed response. This type of error is caused by a syntax error in the code, but based on the code you posted I’m not sure what that is. Can you please open a support ticket and include temporary FTP and WordPress dashboard credentials? I’ll then try to identify and correct the issue.

Sincerely,
Drew O’Neill
