Based on more recent user feedback I have removed the restriction for dynamic groups on mobile devices. Dynamic mode is now always enabled if the group is using it. Geo Targeting has been refined a bit and now better deals with error responses, this will help with a smoother user experience.
Click tracking
The pure-JS clicktracker for groups didn’t reliably work for all adverts. So this has been reverted to the previous iteration. Let me know how this works for you. With that, the clicktracker requires jQuery again. If your theme or another plugin doesn’t already load jQuery you can enable it from Settings > General in the AdRotate Settings. Just like before.
Imports and Exports
With all the updates and changes to adverts over the years the way ads are imported no longer worked reliably. This has been updated to modern standards. Importing adverts from a CSV file should now reliably. This has been tested with files containing up-to some 2000 adverts. Common files are expected to have a few dozen to a 100 or so. So in practice, there is no real import limit anymore other than the file size.
The file size restriction of 4 MB still exists. This is more of a server thing than anything else. Not all servers allow larger files. If your file is larger, simply split it into multiple smaller files.
For exporting files all current features have been added to the export file. This includes mobile options and Geo Targeting settings.
