No "advertising" context
|
|
| Tomas Vera 2004-04-14, 3:33 pm |
| Hello All,
I'm starting to play with advertising but am having trouble getting things
started.
The following line throws an exception:
ContentSelector selector =
CommerceContext.Current.TargetingSystem.SelectionContexts["advertising"].GetSelector();
Stepping through the debugger, I see that
CommerceContext.Current.TargetingSystem.SelectionContexts.Count is zero.
I've modified my web.config to include this line:
<pipeline name="advertising" path="<myCSpath>\pipelines\advertising.pcf"
transacted="false" type="CSFPipeline" loggingEnabled="true"/>
But when the app runs, and gets to the line above, there is no
SelectionContext for "advertising".
Is there something else that I need to "turn on" ?
TIA,
-tomas

| I'm not sure, but check and see if you've got an advertising cache
configured in your web.config in addition to your advertising pipeline:
<caches>
...
<cache name="Advertising" type="Advertising" refreshInterval="900"
retryInterval="300"/>
...
</caches>
The above should all be within the <CommerceServer> section of web.config.

| Zoe,
I found the problem.
Yes, I did have the advertising cache configured. But I was missing this
section from the Web.Config file:
<contentSelection>
<add name="advertising" cacheName="advertising"
selectionPipeline="advertising" eventPipeline="recordEvent"
redirectUrl="/"/>
</contentSelection>
In addition, I did not have a reference to CacheCompLib.Dll in my project.
Once I made these two changes, everything worked. Now, on to more
challenging things like getting a specific set of ads to run in one spot on
the page, and a different set of ads to run in another place on the page.

| Tomas,
you are right. Commerce Server runtime classes read web.config and do the initialization. You are supposed to use <contentSelection> (which is the child
node of <CommerceServer> to configrure the content selection framework. Simliar to ad, you can also add a discount <contentSelection> entry to configure
discount content selection display.
You can go to Commerce Server 2002 installation, SDK\Samples\ASPNET\Ad Sitelet folder to find some sample code related to advertisement (also a
sample web.config is included).
Good luck and let us know if you have more questions.
