What is rsContext?
rsContext is a PHP script which displays ads for
Amazon.com (and Amazon.co.uk) products. rsContext uses
Amazon Web Services (AWS) to retrieve information
about the products displayed in the ads.
rsContext's ads can be displayed within your
web pages using an IFRAME or, if your pages are created using
PHP or another scripting language, by echoing rsContext's output into
the web page. rsContext's ads also are an excellent choice as the "alternate ad" for
Google's AdSense.
In spite of the name, rsContext ads are based on specified keywords or browse nodes. So it it okay to place rsContext ads on the same page as AdSense ads if you configure the appearance of the rsContext ads so they cannot be confused with AdSense ads.
You can host rsContext's script on your web server or use the copy
on the BrowseNodes.com web server.
See:
If you have some experience with PHP and installing scripts, and your web
server supports PHP, it's best to install the script on your own server.
If you are less experienced with PHP and scripts, or simply wish to try
using rsContext, you can use the copy running on our server at BrowseNodes.com.
Version History
| | | 2005-03-17 | 2.001.002 |
Version 2.001.002 is a minor update which fixes a bug in the country selection; sets the URL index to UNIQUE in the rscache table; and now uses a BlendedSearch operation for keywords.
To upgrade:
Rename rsconfig.php to rsconfig.save
Install the new version into the same path, overwriting the old files
Edit rsconfig.php as necessary (you can refer to your old settings in rsconfig.save)
Empty the rscache table ("DELETE FROM rscache")
Execute SQL command "ALTER TABLE `rscache` DROP INDEX `URL`, ADD UNIQUE `URL` (`URL` ( 255 )) "
Instead of the last two steps, you can drop the rscache table from the database and recreate it using the command in the rscontext.sql file. | | | | 2004-10-22 | 2.001.001 |
