As you're using PWS, you can always build your own content rotator script. It's pretty easy. And you can connect to a database (MS Access for home use) to get the data etc.

thankx ober! i haven't tried it out yet but i'm going to!
and hammer, i'm not that good of a asp coder, i just started learning. who knows? maybe i'll write my own content rotator script someday!
anyway, thankx guys!

In case you're interested, here's a very basic way of printing some random text.

In my real code, the response.write()'s are actually calls to other functions that get content from a database, but I cut that out to keep this example short.

Code:

<%
Function PrintRandomText

 MaxFunctions = 5
 Randomize
 MyNum = Int((MaxFunctions * Rnd) + 1)
 Select Case MyNum
 	Case 1:
 		Response.Write("Hello everyone")
 	Case 2:
 		Response.Write("Welcome")
 	Case 3:
 		Response.Write("Bonjour")
 	Case 4:
 		Response.Write("Greetings")
 	Case 5:
 		Response.Write("Hi ya")
 	Case Else:
 		Response.Write("It's all gone wrong!")
 End Select
 
End Function

PrintRandomText

%>

thankx hammer!
i will have to put everything in that format now! i goota lot of work to do!

EDIT :: and about the controt.dll file, where exactly do i put it?
i've put that in system folder, system32 folder and the windows folder, but i am still getting the same error for the content rotator.

>and about the controt.dll file
I'm not sure if you can "force" this one in or not. Some people state it's part of the resource kit that you're supposed to order from M$.

However, you could try registering it manually. Use something like
>start->run
>regsvr32 controt.dll

If you don't get anywhere, try looking through this lot.

thankx hammer, but whenever i type that in, i get an error saying

>LoadLibrary("controt.dll") failed.
>GetLastError Returns 0x00000485

any idea what's causing this?

**Hammer** · 08-11-2002, 09:08 AM

Do you have Visual Studio tools? If so you can use them to show you that

Quote:

0x00000485
One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.

And Dependency Walker says I'm missing:
IISRTL.DLL
COMSVCS.DLL

I don't know if simply finding these 2 DLL's (and their dependencies) and registering them will work. Maybe someone can upload them (Ober?) and you could give it a go.

All sounds a bit of a bodge to me though, I'm not placing any money on this one!
