Entropy Banner Rotation?

[Pocketman]

Using cPanel, I've set up an Entropy Banner on one of my web pages. I have three images which seem to randomly appear when loading the web page. Should they not rotate while the page is displayed? Is there a parameter that I've not properly set?

Welcome to the forums Pocketman.

 

From the docs:

 

Click on the Entropy Banner link in the CGI Center area.

 

Click on the Modify Rotation button.

 

If you need to delete a banner, click on the Delete button. Deleting and re-uploading banners is the only way to change their rotation order.

 

Click on the High, Medium, or Low radio buttons for any banner that you need to change, and click on the Save button. You need to do this for each banner that you need to alter.

 

Enter the URL for each banner image in the Linked to field, and click on the Save button. You need to do this for each banner.

 

Upload the web page and test the script.

 

I've never used the feature, but maybe others may have an answer for you.

Welcome to the forums!

 

I've looked at the docs that Bruce refers to - it appears to me that the Entropy Banner is behaving exactly like it is supposed to (random image is loaded each time page is loaded in browser). If you want the banner to change after the page is loaded, I think you'd need a javascript to do that for you.

Apparently it's working as expected. I adhusted the priorities and get a little better results. Thanks for your help.

 

I have a Mac (IE 5.0?) user who reports not seeing the banner images. Are there browser setting that would effect this. Do not CGI scripts run entirely on the server?

Yes. CGI scripts run on the server.

 

If he is not seeing the banners then he must be blocking them somehow.
