or refreshes the page. In addition, the images are hyperlinks.
ASP AdRotator Component
The ASP AdRotator component creates an AdRotator object that displays a
different image each time a user enters or refreshes a page. A
text file includes information about the images.
Syntax
<%
set adrotator=server.createobject("MSWC.AdRotator")
adrotator.GetAdvertisement("textfile.txt")
%> |
Example
Assume we have a file called "banners.asp". It looks like this:
<html>
<body>
<%
set adrotator=Server.CreateObject("MSWC.AdRotator")
response.write(adrotator.GetAdvertisement("ads.txt"))
%>
</body>
</html> |
The file "ads.txt" looks like this:
*
ALBASP.gif
http://www.ALBASP.com/
Visit ALBASP
80
microsoft.gif
http://www.microsoft.com/
Visit Microsoft
20
|
The lines below the asterisk in the file "ads.txt" specifies the images to be displayed, the
hyperlink addresses, the alternate text (for the images), and the display rates in percent of the
hits. We see that the ALBASP image will be displayed for 80 % of
the hits and the Microsoft image will be displayed for 20 % of the hits in the
text file above.
Note: To get the links to work when a user clicks on them, we will
have to
modify the file "ads.txt" a bit:
REDIRECT banners.asp
*
ALBASP.gif
http://www.ALBASP.com/
Visit ALBASP
80
microsoft.gif
http://www.microsoft.com/
Visit Microsoft

|
The redirection page (banners.asp) will now receive a querystring with a variable named URL containing the URL to redirect
to.
Note: To specify the height, width, and border of the image, you can
insert the following lines under REDIRECT:
REDIRECT banners.asp
WIDTH 468
HEIGHT 60
BORDER 0
*
ALBASP.gif
...
...
|
The last thing to do is to add some lines of code to the "banners.asp"
file:
<%
url=Request.QueryString("url")
If url<>"" then Response.Redirect(url)
%>
<html>
<body>
<%
set adrotator=Server.CreateObject("MSWC.AdRotator")
response.write(adrotator.GetAdvertisement("textfile.txt"))
%>
</body>
</html>
|
That's all!!
