How much JavaScript and what’s the purpose? (That determines the best way to go about this.)

I’m thinking of putting chitika’s eMiniMalls Code. The reason I want to put it in article bodies, not in the template, is I want match the ad with the article.

For example, if my article is about “bamboo flooring”, I want to put ads about bamboo flooring when the article is displayed.

Okay, yes you can do this, you’ll put your JavaScript in your article form. If you can show the JavaScript you want to use, someone can walk you through it.

Thanks for the hints, the keyword is “form”. I ‘ve included the javascript in the article using form.

I just wish there are easier solution since this script is only used in one article. Other articles will need their own scripts, thus will need another forms.

It sounds like you ought to be generating or passing information to your javascript, rather than having a separate script for each article.

Yes, exactly. Can you show us what your JavaScript currently is? then we can show you how to just set it up once, not for every article.

Hey, that’s really good idea. I wonder why I didn’t think about it.

Ok here is the javascript code:

What I need is to change “bamboo flooring”(line 7) to keyword related to each articles.

So how to pass that info from articles to javascript?

Go to the advanced section of your admin prefs, and create a custom field named “eMiniMalls”. If you now look in your “write” tab on the left-hand side, you’ll see a new textbox named “eMiniMalls”, here you’d enter, as per your example: bamboo flooring.

Lastly, add the following to your article form:

<txp:if_custom_field name="eMiniMalls"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
var ch_client = 'xxxxx';
var ch_width = 300;
var ch_height = 250;
var ch_non_contextual = 1;
var ch_nosearch = 1;
var ch_selected = Math.floor((Math.random() * ch_queries.length));

var ch_queries = new Array("<txp:custom_field name="eMiniMalls" />");

var ch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];
//--></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://scripts.chitika.net/eminimalls/mm.js"></script></txp:if_custom_field>

:)

Hi thanks, really neat and simple solution. It already spark another idea in my head for my site.

I guess the same solution can be applied to php code.

You guys really great. Thanks again.
