[Plugin: Promotion Slider] Time delay and rotation options

    I’m looking for a promotions and a “regular” image slider plugin, and it looks like this one can cover both functions, which is great because it would be reducing the amount of plugin installs.

    However, before installing it I have a question about the time delay settings and one about the ads rotation.

    1) I understand that – besides the settings in the option page – one can set the time delay with short code but in any case it doesn’t seem to allow anything above 15 seconds and I would need more than that for my image slider. Is it possible to extend the time delay to any amount of time?

    2) I understand that is possible to turn off the automatic advance feature and rotate the images manually. But, is it possible to have it automatically rotate ads only when the page is refreshed/changed like many other plugins do?

    Thanks!

    I placed some arbitrary limits, which I probably should have left up to the user, on the time delay. Yes, you can set the time delay to anything you want, but it will require altering the plugin.

    On your second point, you are able to set which slide appears first: the first one or a random one. Obviously, if you choose the second, that will ensure that a random ad is displayed on each page load.

    Good to know, and thanks for the prompt reply. Much appreciated.

    One more question: would you be so kind to explain where in the plugin one can find the relevant code to adjust the time setting?

    Thanks again!

    Sure. Go into the index.php file and do a search for ‘function validate_options’. In that function, drop down to the ‘time_delay’ case. You will see the upper and lower limits (3 and 15) and can change them there. This will allow you to save values within the assigned range.

    Next, open up options_page.php (in the includes folder) and search for ‘promotion_slider_options[time_delay]’. Right below this line you will see our upper and lower limits again. Just change these to match your previous updates and you are good to go!

    I am pretty sure you can just search for ’15’ in each of these files and find what you are looking for as well.
