This is
not just another banner rotator mod.
This will allow you to define an array of content (banners, links, text, whatever), then have them display in a random order with each page refresh.
Copy this code and save it as random.js Code:
function randomizeContent(classname){
var contents=randomizeContent.collectElementbyClass(classname)
contents.text.sort(function() {return 0.5 - Math.random();})
for (var i=0; i<contents.ref.length; i++){
contents.ref[i].innerHTML=contents.text[i]
contents.ref[i].style.visibility="visible"
}
}
randomizeContent.collectElementbyClass=function(classname){ //return two arrays containing elements with specified classname, plus their innerHTML content
var classnameRE=new RegExp("(^|\s+)"+classname+"($|\s+)", "i") //regular expression to screen for classname within element
var contentobj=new Object()
contentobj.ref=new Array() //array containing references to the participating contents
contentobj.text=new Array() //array containing participating contents' contents (innerHTML property)
var alltags=document.all? document.all : document.getElementsByTagName("*")
for (var i=0; i<alltags.length; i++){
if (typeof alltags[i].className=="string" && alltags[i].className.search(classnameRE)!=-1){
contentobj.ref[contentobj.ref.length]=alltags[i]
contentobj.text[contentobj.text.length]=alltags[i].innerHTML
}
}
return contentobj
}
Upload random.js to your clientscript folder. Copy the follow to your 'Additional CSS' section of your style Code:
.group1{
visibility: hidden;
}
Add the following code to the bottom of your HEADINCLUDE template Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/random.js"></script>
Insert your content using <div class=group1> tags. Be sure to include the code below the html Code:
<div class="group1">
Content 1
</div>
<div class="group1">
Content 2
</div>
<div class="group1">
Content 3
</div>
<div class="group1">
Content 4
</div>
<div class="group1">
Content 5
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
//randomize order of contents with DIV class="group1"
randomizeContent("group1")
</script>
You can make as many groups as needed, and call this script multiple times. Just be sure to repeat the CSS and div classes using group2, group3, etc...
