One of the features of the Authors' TitleViewer screen is a random display of bitmaps which occurs in the bottom right. You can use this for any purpose, but it is most commonly used to display adverts or sponsor information. We use it in this demo to show the reader other aspects of the web which they should take a look at.

This file shows how to use that feature and link the display to HTML pages which appear in the main browser window once the advert has been clicked.

adverts Adverts can, if you wish, be instructed to appear at random in the bottom right of the TitleViewer screen. You can do this simply by putting windows bitmaps (*.bmp) files into either a folder named "Advertisers" off your top folder or by creating a new folder and telling TitleViewer where it is.

Important Note :

Unregistered Users - your files must be in a sub folder called "Advertisers" (so thats a first level child folder ie "Your_Top_level_folder/Advertisers") and our original btimaps and HTML files must all be copied in there too, else an error message is triggered. This is to allow us to retain a signature within trial or demo webs of our product.

Registered Users - no restrictions, create any folder for adverts and use whichever BMP files and HTML files you like.



Create your images. 298 * 55 pixels is the standard size, save the image as a Windows BMP file in your chosen folder

For even more of an impact, create a web page with your preferred web editor and give it the same name as the image you have created (so you have two files : Advert1.bmp and Advert1.htm or Advert1.html). This way, when your reader clicks the advert, the corresponding page will be loaded, giving the opportunity to fully inform your reader about the advertiser's message

Registered Users : Open the Layout Editor, go to the "Writer" page and instruct TitleViewer to look for adverts in your chosen folder

thats it.
your images will be displayed at random in the bottom right of the screen, your readers will be able to get a full page advertisment by clicking on the image

One of the conditions of use of TitleViewer prior to registering it, is that whichever folder you use to keep your choice of random adverts in, please keep the bitmaps and web pages we distributed in our default "Advertisers" file in there too. We want to leave our signature on the screen for at least some of the time, alongside your own ones.
