tip: how to rotate your banners with jQuery Cycle

i think i’ve found a way to rotate banners using jQuery Cycle.

the site is already loading the jquery.cycle.all.js script cos i’m using Meteor Slides – if yours doesn’t, find a way to load the script, probably through your functions.php or another slideshow plugin.

all you need then is to set your WP Bannerize widget to show more than 1 banner (of course) and to target the group’s css class with the jQuery Cycle function:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery(‘.group-468×60’).cycle({
fx: ‘fade’ // choose your transition type, ex: fade, scrollUp, shuffle, etc…
});
});
</script>

(you could, of course, target all of your ad widgets by using the .wp_bannerize class)

to insert the javascript above, i’m using the Enhanced Text plugin, introducing a widget right above the WP Bannerize one.

to recap: install Metero Slides (or make sure jquery.cycle.all.js is loaded on your site), install Enhanced Text (or any other plugin that lets you add javascript in a text widget), set WP Bannerize widget “Max” to more than 1, insert the jQuery Cycle function with your desired effect right above it.
that’s all.
