Creating Interstital Ad Pages

The Equivocate · 02-10-2005, 03:48 PM

Since neither of my advertisers offer interstitial ad pages, I was considering having the page be server-side and just display some large box ads on the interstitial. How would I go about creating this? I need to be able to set the frequency (per hour/day) per visitor and there also needs to be a "Skip" feature just like other advertiser's IA pages. I looked on hotscripts.com and couldn't find anything like it.

PHP Code:

  <?php

if(isset($_COOKIE["shownad"]) && $_COOKIE["shownad"] == 1)

{

    header("Location: $url");

    exit();

}else{

    setcookie("shownad", "1", time()+1800);

}

?>

<script language="JavaScript">

 
<!--

var timer = 10;

var timerID = 0;

var tStart  = null;

 
function UpdateTimer() {

    if(timerID) {

      clearTimeout(timerID);

      timerID = setTimeout("UpdateTimer()", 1000);

   }

    if(timer == 1)

    {

        timer = timer - 1;

        document.getElementById('seconds').innerHTML = timer;

        document.location = '<?php echo $url; ?>';

        //do something

    }else{

        timer = timer - 1;

        document.getElementById('seconds').innerHTML = timer;

}

 
 
function Stop() {

   if(timerID) {

      clearTimeout(timerID);

      timerID  = 0;

   }

 
   tStart = null;

}

 
function Reset() {

   tStart = null;

 
   document.getElementById('seconds').innerHTML = timer;

   timerID = setTimeout("UpdateTimer()", 1000);

}

 
//-->

 
</script>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">

<body onload="Reset()" onunload="Stop()">

<center>

The game is loading. There are <span id="seconds"></span>&nbsp;seconds left. (<a href="<?php echo $url; ?>">Skip loading</a>)<br><br>

Ad code here

</center>

An example can be seen here: http://www.gamedose.com/game_drivers_ed-325.html

Editing the code:
Change "var timer = 10;" to how many seconds you want to wait on the ad page.
Change "setcookie("shownad", "1", time()+1800);" to the number of seconds until the loading page is shown again. Set to 0 for ads to show every time.

Use:
if you save the file as loading.php, use the following url for loading the page:
http://www.yourdomain.com/loading.ph...afterthead.com

If a visitor uses the back button after the destination page loads, it comes back to the ad page. I don't know how to make it go back to the main page when users hit back.

I was following until you got to the last paragraph about the loading.php and the URL on the end of it. I want it all to be dynamic, and if I'm linking to various news stories (which obviously are continually updated and the URLs change), wouldn't it not work?
