Make your own banner Twister

Make functionality that will allow you to:

1. One place to store all of the banners
2. To set the page on which the banner will be shown
3. To comply with the limit display
4. To specify a banner for the destination address (URL)

Be sure to work on 0.9.6.3 (version does not portend problems), time integration should take about a half hour depending on your expertise when working with MODx.

the Necessary entry-level skills in MODx and understanding of the terms: snippet (snippet) TV in the context of this CMF.


All substantive questions will answer with pleasure.

Let's start:
Divide the whole integration in a few steps:

1. Create snippet Banner

<?php
if (!function_exists('setTemplateVar')) {
function setTemplateVar($value, $docID, $tplVarName) {
global $modx;

//-- get tmplvar id
$tplName = $modx- > getFullTableName('site_tmplvars');
$tplRS = $modx->db->select('id' $tplName 'name="' . $tplVarName . '"');
$tplRow = $modx->db->getRow($tplRS);

$tblName = $modx- > getFullTableName('site_tmplvar_contentvalues');

$selectQuery = $modx->db->select('*' $tblName 'contentid=' . $docID . ' AND tmplvarid=' . $tplRow['id']);

$updFields = array (
'value' => $value
);
$insFields = array (
'tmplvarid' => $tplRow['id']
'contentid' => $docID
'value' => $value
);

if ($modx->db->getRecordCount($selectQuery) < 1) {
$modx->db->insert($insFields, $tblName);
} else {
$modx->db->update($updFields, $tblName 'contentid=' . $docID . ' AND tmplvarid=' . $tplRow['id']);
}
}
}

/**/

$vault = 234;//ID of the branch with banners

$children= $modx- > getActiveChildren($vault, 'menuindex' 'ASC');
if (!$children === false) {

$allBanners = $modx- > getDocumentChildrenTVarOutput($vault, array('pages''fileBanner''counter''linkToURL'));

foreach($allBanners as $idBannerPage=>$banner)
{
$pages = explode(',',$banner['pages']);
if((in_array($modx- > documentIdentifier,$pages) || in_array('-1',$pages)) && ($banner['counter']>0 || $banner['counter'] == '-1'))
{
$path_info = pathinfo(MODX_BASE_PATH.$banner['fileBanner']);
switch($path_info['extension']){
case 'swf'
echo '
<div id="productsSecondaryPromo"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var so = new SWFObject("/'.$banner['fileBanner'].'?clickTag='.$banner['linkToURL'].'", "company_right", "214", "308", "7", "#FFFFFF");
so.write("productsSecondaryPromo");
// ]]>
</script>';break;
default echo '<a href="'.$banner['linkToURL'].'"><img src="'.$modx->getConfig('base_url').$banner['fileBanner'].'" alt="" border="0"></a>';

}
if($banner['counter'] !== '-1' && (int)$banner['counter']>0){ setTemplateVar($banner['counter']-1, $idBannerPage, 'counter');}
}
unset($banner);
}
}
?>

2. Create the following TV settings (all that I have not mentioned below, leave default):

counter, in the drop-down list of "input Type" select the Number. The default value is exhibited -1. Choose a template. Save.

fileBanner, in the drop-down list of "input Type" choose File. Choose a template. Save.
linkToURL, in the drop-down list of "input Type" select the URL. Choose a template. Save.

pages, in the drop-down list of "input Type" select the Listbox (Multi-Select). In the field "Possible values", you write: @SELECT pagetitle,CONCAT(id,',') FROM site_content WHERE id NOT IN (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,234) ORDER BY menuindex
The default value is exhibited -1. Choose a template. Save.

3. Creating store banners

Now go to the document tree and create a new document with the name "BANNERS", set the checkbox on "Container (contains child documents)". Now locate in your code snippet the variable $vault and assign it the ID of the newly created document (the container).

In my case it is ID 234
image

Then add a child document — this is the essence of the banner at the bottom of the document should be visible to the new fields that we created earlier.

image

*If the "number of impressions ..." to change from -1 to a positive integer, then the banner will be shown to the equivalent of that number. With other fields I think everything is clear, if not ask.
*If the document to remove the activity through the context menu MODx, banner will not be displayed
*If you do not select the page, the banner is shown on all pages of the website
*Don't forget to download the banner :)

4. Now insert the snippet [[Banner]] in the place where you want to display the banner.

PS: this solution is quite scalable, you can modify it.

Looking for books as you want

Изображение
this last week or two, as curious users can watch Russian search service on books from Google . However, the General public before the official announcement from Google itself remains in the dark. Meanwhile, already there is something to see and something to tell. Besides, Google has not gone unnoticed in Yandex, which last week began offering users with Store cards and the output presented there books. What, in turn, did not fail to say publicly. Let's take a closer look at what is offered book lovers the giants of the search. Let's start with Google. The California company offers us their traditional approach. Typing in the familiar search bar the title of the book, we get... well, what we will get, greatly depends on many factors. Mostly while where a book has been published. If it's a popular publication in the United States (as an example from reference service — exposing the social ills of America's best-selling book " Fast Food Nation "), the...

Abraham: you work hard, to catch the deadline. What now?

the Author, Matthew burns, have worked on such game franchises as Halo, Call of Duty and Destiny. He is a writer and game developer from Seattle. Abraham, or the full effort in trying to catch the deadline (slang for English-speaking programmers – crunch [crunch]) is a regrettable phenomenon in our industry. And before someone will come up with a solution for this problem, what do we do with him? In the debate about the rush jobs we're talking about whether there are circumstances under which it is valid – that is, whether there is "good" and "bad" Abraham – what should the industry do in order to cut the number of "bad". I agree with the fact that for industry it would be useful to change from the top down. Usually managers can take on more responsibility to help improve working conditions and make game development a pleasant and stable work. But such a change would be slow and go it will be in parts. A huge number of studios and develo...

Google: alternatives to the search giant

Google is constantly working on innovations and improvements to their services. Only in the last few weeks the company has added the ability to automatically correct images when uploading to Google+, launched a network of balloons to provide Internet access in areas with poorly developed infrastructure has opened access to a new subscription service to music and updated service card. But while the company reports on the recent income and achievements, investors are only interested in one thing — income from contextual advertising company Among all innovations of Google, the search engine remains one of the most reliable sources of income of the company. In June, more than 90% of searches on computers and over 92% of queries on mobile devices in the UK were on Google. These numbers can be envied by any company. At the same time in the U.S. market, the average percentage below average and is about 78%. There are problems in the markets of China, Russia and South Korea. ...
