Scheduled Banner Rotation?
Permalink
Hello,
I've been asked to look into whether it would be possible to integrate a promotional banner that rotates on a scheduled basis.
For example: have one banner on May 6, then a different one on June 18, and another on August 9.
I haven't found anything like that in the Marketplace yet. Is anyone familiar with any plugins or another good way we could accomplish this in Concrete 5?
I imagine we could create a js function that loops through an array of dates and displays the appropriate image, but just wondering if there's something better for that out there.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. It appears that the Message of the Day plugin does allow you to schedule rotating content, however only at the same interval each time.
I was looking for a way to enter specific dates for when the rotations would occur (with different intervals in between). I suppose we will have to build our own php solution if no such plugin exists.

growthcurve mentioned the message of the day ad-on
it's actually based off of the reandomizer ad-onhttp://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/randomizer/...
though $75 might be a bit steep for you
and actually he's right about message of the day being able to do that
although I'd imagine your roll your own solution way is probably correct, cheaper and relatively easy
I personally can't think of a better way except maybe through php mostly because I'm more comfortable with it than Javascript
