vB.org Banner Rotation

I have a number of banners that I'd like to display and would like to know whether anybody knows how to make it change on page refresh between 2-3 just like at the top of vB.org.

actually very easy.

all you need is to edit phpinclude_start template and add something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
// ############## Headerimage and text rotating #########

switch(intval(time() / 2) % 3)

{

    case 0:

    $banner = 'img1.jpg';

    break;

    case 1:

    $banner = 'img2.jpg';

    break;

    case 2:

    $banner = 'img3.jpg';

    break;

}

then just put $banner into the place of your img tag of the header ;)

Xenon- thanks a lot for that. If you're banner consists of multiple slices, can that be integrated into the above code?

well, you can assing more html code to a variable and put it into the header then as well.

that's not a problem, above is just the technique to make an rotating banner :)

    $banner_url = 'www.mysite.com';

    break;

    case 1:

    $banner = 'img2.jpg';

    $banner_url = 'www.mysite2.com';

    break;

    case 2:

    $banner = 'img3.jpg';

    $banner_url = 'www.mysite3.com';

    break;

}

Then use this in the template

HTML Code:

<a href="$banner_url"><img src="$banner" border="0" /></a>

As brad pointed out there's no real limit to the number of variables you can assign in each case. Hence...

PHP Code:


		
			
case 0: 

    $banner_slice1 = 'img1_slice1.jpg';

    $banner_slice2 = 'img2_slice2.jpg';

    $banner_url = 'www.mysite.com';

And so on for however many slices you need to define. You then call them in your table as normal.

what about assigning a specific banner depending on what style you have chosen?

i.e. I have a light style and a dark style each with their own background color.

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:43 AM.
