Adicon Wordpress Favicon Plugin Download
Update: Eric Hamby has updated the Adicon plugin, please visit his site for more information.
Someone contacted me today to ask for help finding the Adicon Server Plugin which creates and manages those cute favicon ads that I’m using in the sidebar.
Unfortunately the developer’s site expired recently and the plugin doesn’t seem to have been submitted to any of the usual plugin database sites, which might have had their own copies of the plugin.
As a temporary measure for anyone who wants to use this plugin, I’ve linked to my personal copy here for downloading.
Please note that I can’t provide any support for the plugin. Unfortunately the developer’s website cache has disappeared from Google already so I can’t list the official instructions and there’s no readme file available, but you can install it like any other WP plugin and configure your adicons via the options page in wp-admin.
To show your adicons:
<?php AI_Interface::adIconShow(); ?>
If you’d like to allow other people to upload their favicons for your approval:
<?php AI_Interface::adIconUploadForm(); ?>
UPDATE: Page template to display adicons, kindly provided by Adrian Allen:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Adicons
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<div class=”maincol”>
<?php AI_Interface::adIconUploadForm(); ?>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>Save it as adicons.php and put it in the template directory. Then when you create a new page you can choose the page template “Adicons” and it should then include the form.
Thanks for posting this, this is sweet little plugin. I went searching for it as I had used it in the past and was hoping development on it had continued….
You’re welcome. I just wish that I had the php skills to develop it even further.
So where do i copy that code into to show the icons?
You’d put it in your sidebar, or footer depending on where you want it to go.
Hi PJ, thanks so much.
[...] fresher way to sell advertising space on your WordPress powered site is to utilize the plugin AdIcons for WordPress from [...]
thanks for the link
anybody know a way to change the ad size?
Thanks for including this, ive been looking for it for a while.
On my site I added a page template for the adicons using this code (i.e. create a file with the following text and save it as adicons.php.
Then created a new page and used the Adicons template. Then I linked to this so when people click an empty slot it goes to this page.
Opps, it removed the code from my previous post, I guess I can’t add code to comments
Adrian: Thanks, I’ve added your template code to the post.
In the program it asks’s
” Where should we place your ad?
Just click on an available slot”
I can’t select any or multiple spots. how do i do that?
Hi Mongolian, sorry that I didn’t notice your reply before. You just need to click on one of the green ticks (checkmarks) in the grid to choose where your ad should go. It doesn’t confirm your choice, but it works when you submit your ad.
I’ve just noticed that the plugin isn’t removing expired ads, which is a pain.
Hi
when I activate this Plugin, I gett this message
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in D:\wwwroot\www.lichtnews.de\wp\wp-content\plugins\adicons\adicons.php on line 1287
wp 2,7
Can anybody help me?
regards
Karl
It’s also worth just mentioning that you can change the size of the icons without having to play with the code. I’ve changed my icons to 24×24pixels , which looks better for my advertisers
Thanks for the info, Lee. That’s good to know, and the larger adicons look great on your site.
Hello,
I install the plugin, i insert the code in sidebar but don t show no default favicon .
Where can be the problem?
It looks like you’ve solved the problem already – it looks very nice on your site.
Thank you PJ
My friend Eric Hamby has updated the Adicon plugin. He’s done a great job on making it work better in WP 2.7+ and making general improvements to the plugin.
I’m going to close comments on this post now. Please visit Eric’s site to find out more about the new version of this plugin.
