MOSS AdRotator Control

I recently had a client who wanted an AdRotator on their MOSS Internet site. The client wanted to randomly choose an image from a nominated Image Library and display it on the home page. Unfortunately there is no Moss AdRotator control out-of-the-box. So I went back to my MCMS roots and adapted the MCMS AdRotator found on MCMS faq.com.

Take the MCMS AdRotator, rename it to MossAdRotator, and modify the OnAdCreated to obtain a random SPListItem from the nominated SPList (adsLibraryName) of the Current Web. Note: The code below assumes that the Image Library is located in the current web, but that could be adapted.

protected override void OnAdCreated(AdCreatedEventArgs e) {     try     {         SPWeb web = SPContext.Current.Web;         SPList list = web.Lists[adsLibraryName];           if (list != null)         {             int resourceIndex = Randomiser(list.ItemCount);             SPListItem li = list.Items[resourceIndex];               string webUrl = web.ServerRelativeUrl;             if (webUrl != "/")             {                 webUrl = webUrl + "/";             }               e.ImageUrl = web.Url + "/" + li.Url;             e.AlternateText = li.DisplayName;         }         else         {             throw new Exception(               "The Picture Library '" +               adsLibraryName +               "' could not be found.");         }     }     catch (Exception ex)     {         if (displayErrors)         {             e.AlternateText = ex.Message;         }         else         {             this.Visible = false;         }     } }

Update: Quite a few people have asked me for a downable copy of the MossAdRotator control, so I have created a C# class file that you can download.

    Code Jedi Says: April 25, 2007 at 8:50 am This code example is based on the MCMSAdRotator (http://www.mcmsfaq.com/articles/sp2ads.asp), if you download that and then modify with the changes from my article you shouldn’t have a problem. If you would still like me to send you the complete code, then email me with your details and I will forward it to you.(william@codejedi.net).

    Eric Says: May 12, 2007 at 9:02 am Ok then I’m a little confused on how I make it available to be used on my PageLayout. I thought that I could follow the same procedure as a WebPart (i.e. web.config safe controls, etc.) So how then do I make it “available” for use?

Please advise how I can contact you.

    Code Jedi Says: January 3, 2008 at 9:41 am These are the fail safe steps for implementing an Ad Rotator for MOSS;

  1. Download the source code file from the sample code section of this blog
  2. Open Visual Studio 2005
  3. Create a new DLL class library project
  4. Add the MOSSAdRoatator.cs file to the project
  5. Strong Name the assembly and compile
  6. Copy the .dll file to the SharePoint server being deployed and add to the GAC
  7. Add the Assembly to the list of safe controls in the web.config of the SharePoint Web Application
  8. Add the reference and control to the master page or page layout using SharePoint Designer Note the control uses a picture library to obtain images from, in this example “PicLibName”. The Picture Library is assumed to be located in the same site as the page.
