10.3.2 Method Details

10.3.2.1 GetAdvertisement

The GetAdvertisement method retrieves the next advertisement from the Rotator Schedule file. Each time the script is run, such as when a user opens or refreshes a page, the method retrieves the next scheduled advertisement.
 

    Arguments

      rotationSchedulePath
       
      Specifies the location of the Rotator Schedule file relative to the virtual directory. For example, if the physical path was C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot\Ads\Adrot.txt (where Wwwroot is the "/" virtual directory) you would specify the path \Ads\Adrot.txt.
       

    Return Values

      Returns HTML that displays the advertisement in the current page.

    Example:

      The following example gets an advertisement from the Adrot.txt file in the /Ads/ virtual directory.
      <% Set NextAd = Server.CreateObject("MSWC.AdRotator") %>
      <%= NextAd.GetAdvertisement("/ads/adrot.txt") %>

    Example HTML Output

      Assuming the following fragment of a redirection file is chosen by the control:

        REDIRECT /foo/bar.asp
        WIDTH 300
        HEIGHT 40
        BORDER 1
        *
        /ads/picture.gif
        http://www.chilisoft.com/info/index.html
        Hello from Chilisoft.
        90

      The HTML that is produced is:

<A HREF= "/foo/bar.asp?url=http://www.chilisoft.com/info/index.html&image=/ads/picture.gif TARGET="_blank">

<IMG SRC="/ads/picture.gif" ALT="Hello from Chilisoft" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=40 BORDER = 1>

</A>

The Redirect script "foo/bar.asp" is invoked and can record click through information before redirecting the client browser to the user's desired location.
