Output

A list of adtools matching an adtool type ID number. Also outputs several variables; variables are prefixed with the argument to the assign_prefix parameter described above.

  • .type
  • .type_details
  • .field_assoc
  • .adtools
  • .adcount
  • .typeid
  • .start
  • .count

Notes

search_{$field}

NOTE: If you wish to use the search_ parameters, you will need to include "searchinline=1" in your list of parameters

The available values for {$field} are dependent on the adtool type being searched for. for instance, FHGs have a 'type' field, with the possible values 1(pictures) 2(videos) 3(mixed) .

search_type = '5:2'

Is a limit on this type field. 5 means = (see below) and 2 is the value we are limiting to. This returns any adtools adtoolfield type=2 For FHGs, this means videos.

search_type = '4:2'

Would search for adtools with type <= 2. For FHGs that returns pictures and videos (but not mixed).

search_width = '1:50'

Searches for an adtools with width > 50

You can get the exact field names and possible values from the adtools admin (edit type) or by doing a search on the affiliate side and using the search[] variables from the resulting URL.

Using {display_adtools} to display adtools in an Email

As an example, if you are looking to send all FHGs out in an email through the NATS 4 Mailing admin you can do the following:

{display_adtools category=2 typeid=2 siteid=1 programid=1}

This will display adtools found in NATS displayed under the criteria of Category 2, Typeid 2, and Siteid 1. The information will be displayed according to what is set in the "function_display_adtools" template.

By adding "data_only=1" to the function call, the template is not used and you can display any information found in $adtools array of information. The following code uses a smarty foreach loop to loop through the $adtools array and list out the URL of all adtools.

{display_adtools category=2 typeid=2 siteid=1 programid=1 data_only=1}
{foreach from=$adtools item=tool key=adid name=ads}
{$tool.url}
{/foreach}

If you would like to display the link with a trailing nats code, the following code will do just that,

{display_adtools category=2 siteid="2" programid="1" typeid="2" data_only=1}
{foreach from=$adtools item=tool key=adid name=ads}
{nats_encode adtoolid=$adid siteid="2" programid=1}
{$tool.url}?nats={$encoded}
{/foreach}

Note that we include a separate NATS function {nats_encode} to generate the nats code needed. {nats_endcode} will need the siteid and the program ID to generate a correct NATS code.

Lastly, if you would like to display the adtool track link so that when members go through the link that hit is counted, you can use the following.

{display_adtools category=2 siteid="2" programid="1" typeid="2" data_only=1}
{foreach from=$adtools item=tool key=adid name=ads}
{nats_encode adtoolid=$adid siteid="2" url=1 gallery_url=$tool.url}
{$encoded}
{/foreach}

This code will display the gallery track link for each FHG adtool based upon the criteria set in both the {display_adtools} and {nats_encode} functions.
