This update changes a number of things in the background and fixes a 6 bugs.
Sortable tables
Due to popular demand Sorting tables has been re-added. The intent with the removal was to replace it with a better way of sorting tables/data. Turns out no such method exists and alternatives for manual sorting didn’t work as expected. Checkin with several users who were perfectly happy with the basic sorting provided before it seems no changes were needed at all. Sorting tables has been re-added as an AdRotate Pro-only feature.
Widgets
Several years ago new widgets got added to AdRotate Pro with the intent to replace the old ones. They have been marked as such since 2020. These older widgets have been removed in version 5.15. If you were still using the depreciated widgets they’ll have dissapeared from your website. Please use the new widgets instead.
Along with that, the Obsolete Network widget has been removed. With the recent changes to how Network ads work the widget wasn’t needed anymore as the regular group widget can now do the same and better. Also here, if you were using this widget, replace it with a regular group widget and a group configured for Network use.
Translations
All included translations have been updated using Bing Auto-translator. All strings added in the last year have been translated and old strings removed. As always, if you find any quirks or stupid translations – Let me know with some examples and which lines exactly. I don’t speak these languages so please explain what the issue is so I understand what to change.
