Creating a Wordpress Ad Insertion Area

Question

Inside Wordpress I wanted to create a field, that when I post a featured image it would leave the image there, simple thing (think). Example is Orbit Slider, where the featured images turn to sliders. Does anyone know a simple way to do that or any documentation that points me the way?

Let’s say I want to separate 4 box type and when people create a post with a linked image appears in this space.

Ex: I go in "Create Ad", I choose "Side Box 01" and attach an image according to the size of the box and type the link and it appears there.

You’re looking for Custom Fields (custom Fields) and Meta Boxes.

When we create a meta box, we use custom Fields to store the information. If our field starts with _ will not appear in the custom field box. The Highlighted Image, for example, is stored as _thumbnail_id.

You can simply use the standard box Custom fields and add the image Urls. Then frontend draws the figures with get_post_meta( $postID, 'minhas_imagens );.

Or make a custom meta box (Adding custom image Fields and other Fields at the same time) using the Hooks add_meta_box and save_post, which is what Orbit Slider plugin makes. Or use a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields to manage this without having to program anything.
