I finally decided to include chCounter directly into the plugin software, because several users had problems installing the counter and the chCounter website is in german unfortunately. Unless any bugs appear this will be the final version of the plugin since it does what it’s supposed to do. To configure chcounter via the webinterface the following two directories need to be writable by the server
chcounter/
chcounter/includes/
If you upgrade from a previous plugin version you simply need to configure the included chCounter to reflect your old database settings.
I think this change makes installations easier and faster.

I found some time to work a little bit on the Sponsors Slideshow Widget Plugin. In this new version I switched to using the jQuery Cycle Plugin. I think the bug in IE with displaying the first slide only half is now gone. Further it brings several new fade effects. Besides this new Widget title is now set manually. If left empty, no title will be displayed. Finally I’ve worked on the display function so that it should be possible to display the widget manually with the following code example:
sponsors_slideshow_widget_display(array(
‘number’ => 1,
‘category’ => catID,
‘widget_title’ => ‘Here goes the title’,
‘fade’ => ‘fade’,
‘time’ => 5,
‘width’ => 200,
‘height’ => 100,
order => 0
));
number is a unique integer to identify widget, catID is the ID of the link category to display, fade is any valid fade effect, time in seconds between images, width and height of slideshow in pixel, order can be 0 for sequential or 1 for random ordering of images.

I’ve recently released a new version of my SponsorsSlideshowWidget. It supports now multiple widgets, so it is possible to present several link categories in different widgets. Further some styling issues are fixed, such as transparent background color and centering of the slideshow.
