vb.org Archive - Mini Mods - Random Logo/Image Rotator

Something like this could already be here but I figured someone might have a use for it. A simple php file to randomly rotate images. I use it to rotate my logos. I've only uses it on 4.2.1 but it should work on all versions of VB as its worked on everything from nuke to wordpress so far.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Modify the $folder setting in the configuration section.
2. Add image types if needed (most users can ignore that part).
3. Upload this file (rotate.php) to your webserver. I recommend uploading it to the same folder as the images you are going to use. images/rotate/rotate.php.
4.Edit your style by adding to where your logo image is called. In the default style its in
the header template <img src="http://examples.com/images/rotate/rotate.php" alt="{vb:rawphrase x_powered_by_vbulletin, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}" /> Other styles might be in a different template. One I have its in navbar.
5. You can also specify a single image to display like this:

<img src="http://example.com/rotate.php?img=gorilla.jpg">

This would specify that an image named "gorilla.jpg" located
in the image-rotation folder should be displayed.

AUTOMATIC IMAGE ROTATOR

/* ------------------------- CONFIGURATION -----------------------





    Set $folder to the full path to the location of your images.

    For example: $folder = '/user/me/example.com/images/';

    If the rotate.php file will be in the same folder as your

    images then you should leave it set to $folder = '.';



*/





    $folder = '.';





/*    



    Most users can safely ignore this part.  If you're a programmer,

    keep reading, if not, you're done.  Go get some coffee.



    If you'd like to enable additional image types other than

    gif, jpg, and png, add a duplicate line to the section below

    for the new image type.

    

    Add the new file-type, single-quoted, inside brackets.

    

    Add the mime-type to be sent to the browser, also single-quoted,

    after the equal sign.

    

    For example:

    

    PDF Files:



        $extList['pdf'] = 'application/pdf';

    

    CSS Files:



        $extList['css'] = 'text/css';



    You can even serve up random HTML files:



        $extList['html'] = 'text/html';

        $extList['htm'] = 'text/html';



    Just be sure your mime-type definition is correct!

    $extList['png'] = 'image/png';
