AdRotate Pro 5.25 introduces the same renewed dashboard as AdRotate Banner Manager got last month. Including a few refinements. All data passing through the dashboard options is better santized and better checked for valid inputs as well. The dashboard is now responsive, making the usability on smaller devices much much better.
Exporting and Importing adverts is made better with more reliable code and better checks for the data entered through a CSV file. If you were using this method to get adverts into the system, make a new template file. Simply export 1 configured advert to make a new template file.
The importer will check for the exported version and refuse older files as they are not longer compatible. The new import code better checks which column belongs where and what data goes in it, but it remains ‘dumb’ CSV. So make sure your files are up-to-date and compatible. Notable changes are that more settings are now included in the files, making for a more complete export and a better import.
Similarly the Portability hash got an update as well, improving the format of the hash, but also by including more advert settings.
