Hello,

On my server I want to start a small free webhosting service which will be supported by a small ad in the top-right corner of each page uploaded to the specific account.

I noticed Geocities, Tripod, but also GoDaddy use some kind of script to insert such content into each and every page a user uploads.
Can anybody tell me what sort of script(s) they are using and where it can be found?

Many thanks

Sander

If you have linux server, mod_layout can be used for that.

I know a script. Its very useful. It opens a new windoe inside of a window.
Its called FF1+ IE5+
Random iframe content

Description: This script randomly selects from a group of URLs and displays one of them inside an iframe. Since it's an iframe, the content can be anything and everything. Some ideas for using this script are:

Randomly rotate and display HTML banners
Display a "random joke" from a large archive without having to download everything
Serve up random content consisting of rich HTMLThe script works in IE4+/NS6+, and simply displays nothing in all other browsers.

Simply insert the below code where you wish the content to appear, and configure the URLs inside to your own:

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
//Random iframe content- © Dynamic Drive (www.dynamicdrive.com (http://www.dynamicdrive.com))
//For full source code, and Terms Of use, visit http://dynamicdrive.com
//This credit MUST stay intact for use
var ie=document.all&&navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")==-1
var dom=document.getElementById&&navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Opera")==-1
//Specify IFRAME display attributes
var iframeprops='width=130 height=130 marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" frameborder="1" scrolling="no"'
//Specify random URLs to display inside iframe
var randomcontent=new Array()
randomcontent[0]="random1.htm"
randomcontent[1]="random2.htm"
randomcontent[2]="random3.htm"
randomcontent[3]="random4.htm"
//No need to edit after here
if (ie||dom)
document.write('<iframe id="dynstuff" src="" '+iframeprops+'></iframe>')
function random_iframe(){
if (ie||dom){
var iframeobj=document.getElementById? document.getElementById("dynstuff") : document.all.dynstuff
iframeobj.src=randomcontent[Math.floor(Math.random()*randomcontent.length)]
}
}
window.onload=random_iframe
</script>

He wants a script that inserts it automatically. So yes, mod_layout would be best.

yes mod_layout will work, but will cause problems if you plan on hosting paid or ad free sites just using mod_layout as it will do the ads globally on all sites on that server unless you add exclude directives for each account.

You may find some ready solutions here:
HotScripts.com > Webhosting Tools (http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Web_Hosting_Tools/index.html)

your best bet is to looks on pscode.com it sounds weird but you can do a lookup on php source codes do webhosting tools if anything I got some in my script collection ..

google also provides adds , and they actually pay u for ur credits earned :) . Just make sure there isnt a big surge , because they tend to cancell accounts on too many clicks.
