Forum Home Enhancements - Header/Banner Rotation

Here is a true way to flash your headers and banners without looking for hacks that partially work or don't work at all.

go to Stylevars and Templates----do a search for Logo-----go to header----This is what you are modifying. This code is at the very top of the page.

<div class="above_body"> <!-- closing tag is in template navbar -->
<div id="header" class="floatcontainer doc_header">
<vb:if condition="$stylevar['titleimage']"><div><a name="top" href="{vb:link forumhome}" class="logo-image"><img src="{vb:stylevar titleimage}" alt="{vb:rawphrase x_powered_by_vbulletin, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}" /></a></div></vb:if>

You need to remove all the code up to logo-image. It will look like this when you finished.

<div class="above_body"> <!-- closing tag is in template navbar -->
<div id="header" class="floatcontainer doc_header">
<vb:if condition="$stylevar['titleimage']"><div><a name="top" href="{vb:link forumhome}" class="logo-image">

Go to any place with a simple JScript generator and apply your images. You code should look similar to this when finished.

var imgs5 = new Array("http://www.yourwebsite.com/images","http://www.yourwebsite.com/images","http://www.yourwebsite.com/images","http://www.yourwebsite.com/images","http://www.yourwebsite.com/images");
var lnks5 = new Array("http://www.yourwebsite.com/images","http://www.yourwebsite.com/images"," http://www.yourwebsite.com/images","http://www.yourwebsite.com/images","http://www.yourwebsite.com/images");
var alt5 = new Array();
var currentAd5 = 0;
var imgCt5 = 5;
function cycle5() {
if (currentAd5 == imgCt5) {
currentAd5 = 0;
}
var banner5 = document.getElementById('adBanner5');
var link5 = document.getElementById('adLink5');
banner5.src=imgs5[currentAd5]
banner5.alt=alt5[currentAd5]
document.getElementById('adLink5').href=lnks5[currentAd5]
currentAd5++;
}
window.setInterval("cycle5()",4000);

<img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/images" id="adBanner5" border="0" width="1000" height="177"></center></a>


You need to paste this code in right after logo-image! It should look like this when completed.

<div id="header" class="floatcontainer doc_header">
<vb:if condition="$stylevar['titleimage']"><div><a name="top" href="{vb:link forumhome}" class="logo-image"><center><script type="text/javascript">

var lnks5 = new Array("http://www.yourwebsite.com/images","http://www.yourwebsite.com/images"," http://www.yourwebsite.com/images","http://www.yourwebsite.com/images","http://www.yourwebsite.com/images");

var currentAd5 = 0;
var imgCt5 = 5;

if (currentAd5 == imgCt5) {
currentAd5 = 0;
}
var banner5 = document.getElementById('adBanner5');

I have this set from my website with a 5 image rotation. You can do as many as you like with any options that you can be creative enough to come up with.


There are alot of variables that you can ad with simply html codes. Fade options can be added to change the effect of the rotation and so on.

Its great! but may you please put all codes on the box ?

[SlaughterHouse]

Hi,

All the code in red I pasted at the bottom is the full document. All you will need to do basically at this point is edit in you images in the sections where its says, "http://www.youwebsite.com/images." This will give you a 5 second flash between images I had set up for my header.

I have my header <center></center> on my forums. If you have a image that runs the entire legth of your board you may want to remove those html codes.

I will add the fade options in as I continue working on this.

All the Best!
