Modification

Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi,

I'd like to use the random functionality to display a couple of ads related to a product. I'm currently using filterByAttribute to group elements on a page and was wondering if there was somehow I could do the same (obviously i would need to do some modification)?

Thanks!

The randomizer block pulls other blocks that are in a specific area or scrapbook (scrapbooks are really just special areas).

So Areas don't have the same list/filter architecture so you'd have to figure some other way to categorize your elements.

You've seen the ad server add-on:

You can display ads by groups.

Thanks for the reply! Yeh, I've had a look at Ad Server, and seems like a good option, however seems to be image based. Would it be possible to use a text based ad with that add on?

cheers,
Ritch

Yeah, the ad server either serves images or javascript snippets as ads, it wouldn't give you the formatting options that a normal content block would.
