Great Module!
I was wondering is it possible to have the image banners rotate on a time delay rather than just on page load? How can I go about accomplishing this?
I would like to do something similar to the Rotor Banner Module. It doesn't necessarily need to do all the fancy transitions (although it would be nice), but it would be great to have it just switch after like 15 seconds. I would just use the Rotor Banner Module, but it doesn't keep track of statistics, which I would like to keep.
Thanks!
#1
It really would be nice to somehow integrate these two modules, or at least allow them to interact.
#2
There are a number of modules out there that offer this type of functionality -- perhaps one of the ones listed here works out of the box?

I would accept good, clean patches if necessary to integrate the ad module with one of these other modules to provide this functionality.
#3
I think the idea is that it needs to work with the statistics provided by the Ad module. I've used Rotor Banner before and it works fine but, like the OP mentioned, it doesn't give the ad statistics.
#4
You could also (in theory) do it with the ad_views module + Views Slideshow, but right now the integration is broken/unfinished.

butler360 has it right. The most important thing is I need the stats of the Ad module and the rotating capabilities of the Rotor Banner. It would be great if the two modules could be combined in some way.
Domesticat - would ad_views module and Views Rotator work, since you mention the Views Slideshow is broken? This could possibly solve my problem.
#6
@cbassig - I can vouch that you can get ad_views + Views Slideshow to work. Read #524454: Any news about the Ad Image (ad_image) support? to get an idea of the problem. There's a workaround, but it's kludgey. I don't know about Views Rotator, but I suspect it's going to be subject to similar issues that Views Slideshow was.

Thanks. I will give both a try later this week to see if I can get it to work.
