8WayRun.Com - Random Header
 
1 Attachment(s)
Don't forget to click INSTALL!
I'm an unemployed computer programmer... if you appreciate the work I have done on this mod, please don't hesitate in offering me a donation by clicking the "Support Developer" link to the right of this text.
I had to rewrite this mod because it stopped working in vB4x. It now requires a product installation; don't blame me, blame vB4x.

This script does not use Javascript!
I wrote this mod for my own website last year (http://www.8wayrun.com/). I was looking for a way to create a random header situation, while also letting people select the random header through their UserCP and force a header depending on what forum they are on. If you go to my website (http://www.8wayrun.com/), a random character will appear on your header, if you ctrl+refresh, a new character will show up... if you go to our character specific forums, the character in the random header will be forced to the character of that specific forum... I have done my best to make this script as simple as possible.

Product Demo:
http://www.8wayrun.com/
http://www.8wayrun.com/customstyles/...der/header.php
Installation Procedure:
  1. Upload all the files in the "upload" directory of the attached zip file to your forum root.
    .
  2. Import the product file called "product-header.xml" in the Product Manager of vBulletin.
    .
  3. RANDOM OPTION: Put the images you want randomized into the "header" folder that you just uploaded in the previous step.
    This randomized option will work with any JPG, GIF or PNG image extension.
    .
  4. SELECTED OPTION: If you want, you can let users SELECT which header they want on places where the script would normally randomize.
    1. Create a new "Single-Selection Menu" profile field in your adminCP.
    2. For each selection option, enter an image's filename as an option.
    3. Set Default: None
    4. Field Required: No
    5. Field Editable: Yes
    6. Private Field: No
    7. Field Searchable on Members List: No
    8. Show on Members List: No
    9. Display Page: Options: Other
    After you submit, this field will be given a name (ex: field9). Make sure to remember this name.
    This selected option will work with any image extension defined in an image's filename
    .
  5. FORCED OPTION: If you want to FORCE an image on specific forum, upload the image, to the "header/forums" directory.
    Images are forced by their forum ID, so if the forum you want to force is forum 38, then name the image "38.png".
    By default, this selected option will only work with the PNG image extension.
    If you want to change this extension to something else, open up the included "header/header.php".
    Find and edit the fourth line in this file which by default should state: $forced = ".png";
    .
  6. NOTE: This script has a heirarchy of importance when searching for images.
    1. The first thing it will look for is the FORCED OPTION.
    2. If it doesn't find a forced image, it will use the SELECTED OPTION.
    3. If it doesn't find a selected image, it will use the RANDOM OPTION.
Usage Procedure:
Anywhere you want to use this random script, just link to this script, instead of an image.
header/header.php?fid={vb:var forum.forumid}&pid={vb:var bbuserinfo.field9}
Notice the field9 above, this should match the field name given to you in a previous step.
You can use this script anywhere you would normally use an image; whether it be your logo image, or even the background image to your header or website.

How do you get it to display an image in the main forum list ( forum.php ).. I have it working for individual forums but naming the png by the forum ID but I get no image in the forum index not the CMS.

Installed though :)..

just to let you know that there is a malware on your forum found with Avast!. Ciao :)

Very cool! IS there a way to set a group of header images per forum:

Forum33_1.png
Forum33_2.png
Forum33_4.png

etc

Where only Forum 33 would show the above images randomly?

JohnMcClane 04-18-2010 11:09 PM

Feature request - could you possibly include an option to change the header + thread title strips + footer? Would be cool if all 3 or even just header and footer could be changed at once.

You can easily use this mod multiple times by creating multiple folders and linking to each header.php differently.

Jaxel 04-19-2010 09:06 PM

Okay... just uploaded a new version. Fixes a big with the SELECT OPTION. Now if someone selects an image, and then later decides to go back to RANDOM, it will be handled correctly.

TimberFloorAu 04-19-2010 09:20 PM
