Maximum # of eMiniMalls on a Page?
There is no limit to the number of eMiniMalls that you can have on one page. However, we do not recommend any more than 3 due to 'banner blindness.'
Customizable background colors for eMiniMalls
The background color can now be changed. The option for that is now in the control. But if existing users want to hack the code, they can do use using a line like this:
ch_color_bg = "#CCCCCC";
Using blog titles as keywords to target eMiniMalls
Bloggers using WP and MT can customize the eMiniMalls code and pass the title of the blog post as a keyword.
On MT insert the following code:
ch_query = "<$MTEntryTitle$>";
On WP insert the following code:
ch_query = "<?php the_title(); ?>";
Using Custom Fields in WordPress to set your eMiniMalls queries
Jacken describes in detail how you can use WordPress' Custom Fields to easily set your own quieries:
But wouldn’t it be great if you could use the Custom Fields that’s already in WordPress? Well you can. And here’s how I did it. When writing your blog posting, just add a tag called “ad” in the Custom fields, and then put the search word you want, for example “ipod”. I’ve put the code so that WordPress uses the the codes when displaying a single post.
eMiniMalls Full Script for Setting your own Keywords
Here’s the full script (for the 300×250 unit) that you can use to assign your own keywords:
eMiniMalls Search Tab
You can hide the search tab on eMiniMalls by inserting the following line in your code:
ch_nosearch = 1;
Using eMiniMalls in non-contextual mode
By default eMiniMalls service is set to be non-contextual. That means you can set your own keywords. The following lines in your customized code can be edited to include keywords of your choice:
ch_non_contextual = 1;
var ch_queries = new Array("laptop", "ipod");
var ch_selected=Math.floor((Math.random()*ch_queries.length));
ch_query = ch_queries[ch_selected];
