Using widget logic for that wouldn’t ‘scale’ very well, and would probably prove fiddly to get the effect you are after. I am sure there are ‘ad rotator’ plugins/widgets out there you might find more productive.
Believe me I tried but what I really need is somehow to Randomize my widgets in any chosen widget area, or simply loop each widget one by one of course.
it depends on the exact effect you are after. If you want 1 of N widgets to appear, you could do this
widget 1 (the first one defined):
global $widget_rnd; $widget_rnd=rand(5, 15); return (1==$widget_rnd);
widget 2
global $widget_rnd; return (2==$widget_rnd);
and so on. (nb, i’ve not tried this out.)
No, both widgets just dont appear anywhere now?
Thanks for trying to help
ugh copy/paste error
rand (1,2)
this bit generates a random integer between the 2 values. so use (1,n) depending on the number of widgets involved.
I still think there must be an ad rotator out there to suit you – it’s basic stuff for a blog.
Im sorry but can you post the exact code for 3 Widgets ?
Thank you
Sounds interesting idea.
Would it be possible to use this technique to alternate between two different sidebar widgets?
For example, two text widgets, A and B:
show widget A (hide widget B)
else
Show Widget B (hide A)
Can Widget-Logic already do this?
