I’m very happy and proud to announce the release of my first wordpress plugin called “Got Banners”. It is a simple banner rotation plugin. Let me tell you a little about how i went to create this plugin.
I wanted to run 125 x 125 banners on the right sidebar of this blog. But, i wanted them to be put in a random order each time the page loads as seen on TechCrunch. I searched a lot for a script like this. But, no luck. So, i created my own PHP script and started using it. Then, i emailed John Chow, telling him about this script and that it might also be useful on JohnChow.com for rotating the 125 x 125 banners. He appreciated it and suggested me that i develop this into a wordpress plugin and that was very nice idea and inspired me to make this plugin today.
This is the first stage of this plugin and i’d like to hear some comments, suggestions etc.. from you. You can find more information about the plugin on its own page : Got Banners.

What a great wordpress plugin!

Do you have a similiar script that works on a non-blog website? I really could use something like this. Thanks.

I originally coded this as a raw php script. But the converted it into a Wordpress plugin. If you’d really want it, i can release the original one, that can be used on any wedbsite(PHP). Although, i have to tweak it a little so that it is easy to use.

Hi
Anyway to make this plugin work for 2 columns of 125×125 banners?
If I use , some of the ads may appear in both columns at the same time.
See my site for example.
Hope you can make this work.
thks!

oops..the div tag didn’t appear…sorry.
It should be “If I use the div tag, some of the ads…”

The plugin automatically adds 5px margin to each banner.
So to have two columns of 125×125px banners, you have to have 290px space.
If you don’t have that much and want to reduce the margin around each banner, alter this line in gotbanners.php
echo "<style>.gotbanners { text-align: center; } .gotbanners img { margin: 5px; } </style>";
Change 5px to something else.
