AdRotator Component doesn't Rotate Ads - ASP / Active Server Pages

Apostolis K.

I include an AdRotator component but the component doesn't rotate the ads
_index.asp_
<%
Set objAd=Server.CreateObject("MSWC.AdRotator")
vAdRotation=objAd.GetAdvertisement("ads.txt")

Response.Write "<center>" & vAdRotation & "</center>"

%>
<html>
----------------------------------------------------------
_ads.txt_
REDIRECT redirect.asp

Hello!

Try with different values for time each ad is displayed in .txt file. So,
modify the .txt file like this:

_ads.txt_
REDIRECT redirect.asp
*
1.jpg
http:www.1.com
1.com
20
2.jpg
http:www.2.com
2.com
20
3.jpg
http:www.3.com
3.com
20
4.jpg
http:www.4.com
4.com
20
5.jpg
http:www.5.com
5.com
20
This means that every ad has 20% time or one fifth to display.
Hope it works!

I ve already tried with differrent values but the result is the same

If I change to the values you say, can you tell me how long (in
seconds/minutes) every ad is supposed to appear on the screen?

I think the ads only rotate with each page refresh or redisplay. And the
same ad may appear again on a page refresh but if you keep pressing F5, you
will eventually see a different ad. I don't think the ads rotate on a static
page.

So options for him might be :

use frames (eew) - and refresh the top frame every x minutes or something
just refresh the current page (assuming that there are no forms and stuff)
make an animated .gif

I thought that this component rotates the ads by itself. If I want a true ad
rotator I could easy create one on my own with javascript

It does do it. But remember, it's a SERVER-SIDE component, not a
client-side thing.

Yes but not in real time. You have to reload the page so the ad is changed

Well, yes, of course. It's an Active SERVER Pages component, not an active
CLIENT pages thing.
