LOGO ROTATOR

This small hack/scrpit will rotate logo in vb4.x (In fact I have been using this script since vb 3.6)

I got this script from the Internet long time back so all the credit goes to the author of the script.

Installation:
1) You need to upload the contents of the folder "upload" to the root directory of your site.
2) Then upload the logo's you want to rotate to "images/titleimage/" directory. (Delete example images from this folder else they will be used by rotation script)
---Images must be of all same size else the page jumps as the images gets taller or shorter.
--- Images can be in jpg, gif and png format.
3) Edit the title image path in stylevars to "images/titleimage/logo.php". (See screenshot)

Updates:

Cant get my pics to show
I know i done i'm in the right area cause when i change the stylevar back to default the original pic appears
I using Gif images and also the default 1.png wont show
I get a x instead of a image
When i right click/properties tells me that i i am in the correct place
I uploaded all the upload file to root file and edited the stylevar ?

You need to upload the "titleimage" folder to "images" folder then it will work.
Or you can uplaod it anywhere but make sure you use correct path in stylevars.

I believe I followed the instructions as mentioned, I don't have a titleimage directory, the original vbulletin log is in misc. I tried there but could not make it work

Seven Skins

01-05-2010, 02:27 PM

You have to make a folder on your webserver to make this work.

how do i link a banner image (logo) to the website that it represents

The_Gismo_Man

01-06-2010, 04:58 AM

This is a great addon, however, could it be coded to run on the right hand side of the header or even the footer areas?
I already have a logo placed in titleimage but feel this banner addon would suit me if i could place it to the right of my header but under the my profile and settings part in VB4.

Sadly, i'm no coder, so, any help greatly appreciated for this fantastic idea

Apparently this program only rotates the logo it isnt a banner rotation program. Does anyone know where i can find a banner rotation program for VB 4

You need to find ad banner rotator. there are many on google. This only rotates the images.

This can be used anywhere, on any site, footer, header, what ever. you just to put full url of the rotator script.

e.g. www.site.com/logo.php

I have created a folder in images named titleimage, I placed 3 images in the folder, I added the logo.php and the index to public_html which is where my forum is located. won't work. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong cause apparently it works

Seven Skins

01-08-2010, 08:24 PM

Titleimage folder has to be in images folder.
And then you need edit the stylevars of titleimage to "images/titleimage/logo.php"

This is the hack im using on my site. It works on every page refresh or page change. you can upload as many images as you like. one of my favorite hacks that allowed my to closely replicate my old 3.8 site. (i have not modified this product in any way.)

It is refreshing on page load for me. i just went to your site and seen no problems. although it doesn't change every time, It is working properly as far as i can tell. Tip the more pictures you load in your header the more likely the random image wont repeat 2 times in a row on refresh. Thats all thats happening on your board. it just repeat the same picture once in awhile. In other words its randomly choosing the same picture now and then. add more pics that will reduce the likelihood of a repeating picture twice in a row. I actually have over 30 pictures in my logo rotator.

-------------------------
Edit i take that back you are correct it only changes on refresh and is static when browsing page to page. this is something the hack author Seven Skins will have to look into for you.

Check for "Add No-Cache HTTP Headers" in the settings and you are using some HTML compressor, that might be casuing an issue.

This thing is nice! Working well.

I do have a question, there is a small gap between my image and the navbar. I don't think it has anything to do with this mod but if someone can tell me how to make the image flush to the navbar I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

The GameDen theme works well. We used it prior to the upgrade. Hit me up if you want to chat and compare notes. (CEG Highlander)

FYI - we have resolved the gap issue I posted on and it had nothing to do with this mod which is again, very good and working well.

thanks.

02-17-2011, 09:59 PM

Really need some help guys... I somehow have mucked this up. I deleted the files in images/titleimage by accident so I redownload the files form here and placed them in the correct folder. Nothing is showing on my forum but a big X. When I go to stylevars to point to the logo.php file it doesnt keep that url and instead it just says 'array' and the images dont display on my forum.

Anyone know what this 'array' thing is and why it changes a url to that word?

I don't know how I did it but I'm having the same problem. I copied the line exactly as it was in the instructions - "images/titleimage/logo.php" and pasted it into titleimage and it's changing it to "Array" and won't work. Thankfully it's somehow still showing the logo I was using so it's not noticeable to visitors but it's definitely not rotating.

Seven Skins

02-17-2011, 10:42 PM

Link to your site would be be nice, else I don't know how to fix the error.

meissenation

02-17-2011, 10:59 PM

Fixed it - was conflicting with the CSS edit I made hardcoding the logo image into the vbulletin.css

Sorry - move along! :o

Seven Skins

02-17-2011, 11:07 PM

Yes I was going to say that ... logo has been removed from your skin.

Doesn't work for me here. Not rotating for me. I uploaded everything and added two logos to the folder to rotate.

Should I add my path to the logos in the logo.php file?

I'm on 4.2.2 I also have the full width logo mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=245702)installed. could that be conflicting?

EDIT: Got it working now.
