PRB: Click URLs for Ads Do Not Function When Site Is in URL Mode or Cookies Are Turned Off (295638)

RESOLUTION

1. Install the Resource Kit, and then run the TemplateCreator.exe file.
2. Select the site that you want the ads to display in.
3. Add an attribute named mscsprofile to the image template, as follows:

           Label= mscsprofile
           Source = contextprofile
   					

   NOTE: Do not set the type so that it does not show up in the Bizdesk.
   
   
4. Right-click the image template, and then click template text. After the URL, type %26{%mscsprofile%}. The resulting code resembles the following:

   <!--Inserted by Microsoft Commerce Server-->
   <A HREF="{%RedirectUrl%}?ciid={%item_id%}&cachename={%CacheName%}&PageGroupId=
   {%PageGroupId%}&url={%ClickUrl%}%26{%mscsprofile%}" TARGET="{%TargetFrame%}
   "><IMG SRC="{%ImgUrl%}?CEVT={T=CAMP,CI={%item_id%},PG={%PageGroupId%},EVT
   =DOWNLOAD}" WIDTH={%Width%} HEIGHT={%Height%} BORDER="{%Border%}"
    Alt="{%AltText%}"></A>
   					

5. Change Banner.inc as follows:

   Dim oCSO, Ads, Ad, oUserProfile, bcookie
   If IsEntityInSet(sThisPage, MSCSPageSets.AdvertisementPageSet) Then
   
   	Set oCSO = Server.CreateObject("Commerce.ContentSelector")
   	'oCSO.Size =  "Banner"
   	oCSO.Border = 1
   	oCSO.TargetFrame = "_top"
   	oCSO.NumRequested = 1
   	if m_iTicketLocation = 1 Then
   		bCookie = False
   	Else
   		bCookie = True
   	End If
   	if bCookie = False then
   	oCSO.MSCSProfile = GetTicketInUrlArg()
   	else
   	end if
   	Set oUserProfile = GetCurrentUserProfile()
   	If Not oUserProfile Is Nothing Then
   		Set oCSO.UserProfile = oUserProfile
   	End If
   	Set Ads = oCSO.GetContent( Application("CSFAdvertisingContext") )
   		
   	For Each Ad In Ads
   		Response.Write(Ad)
   	Next
   End If
