The stars are in alignment—we have custom content in the database, we have a widget that displays content, and choosing the random content all depends on a single function: ContentRotator::get_random_content()
. Let's update that function, so it pulls our content from the database:
static function get_random_content(){
$separator = get_option('content_rotation_content_separator');
$content_block = get_option('content_rotation_content_block');
// Ensure that the user has entered valid settings
if ( empty($content_block) )
{
return '';
}
elseif (empty($separator))
{
return $content_block;
}
// Get an array of non-empty chunks
$content_array = explode($separator, $content_block);
$sanitized_array = array();
foreach ($content_array as $chunk)
{
$chunk = trim($chunk);
if (!empty($chunk))
{
$sanitized_array[] = $chunk;
}
}
$chunk_cnt = count($sanitized_array);
