rotating banners

[barbiedoll]

:) I am new to all this.. And am looking for some help getting rotating banners in the header of our website.. I have a picture there now.. I have downloaded a rotating banner mod from here.. but have tried.. & tried & cannot get it to work. I know I am just missing something really small & stupid..

I have examples of what I am doing in another thread in Mod section

Here is the link.. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1152912#post1152912

This is what I do...

Create a new Plugin at hook location 'global_start' with the following contents:
$random_number = rand(1, 4);

$random_banner[1] = 'images/logo1.jpg';
$random_banner[2] = 'images/logo2.jpg';
$random_banner[3] = 'images/logo3.jpg';
$random_banner[4] = 'images/logo4.jpg';

If you want to add a banner, just add a new line, change the variable name (_banner[x]), and then increase the rand(1,4), where 4 is the number of banners you have. If you want to remove a banner, just get rid of the line and then decrease the rand(1,4).

Then edit your 'header' template as follows...

Find: $stylevar[titleimage]

Replace with: $random_banner[$random_number]

Thank you.. !!!! How about centering it??

[Kirk Y]

Find:
<td align="$stylevar[left]">

Replace with:
<td align="center">

Should do it...

Thank you !!!!!

Is there any way to add links to the banner's.. So if you would click on the banner it would take you to that ad's website??

ok, got it finally. What about if I wanted it in user cp? I tried to make this same hook in Usercp_complete and it displayed at the very top
