Random Images Anywhere

1st of all I really love this plugin stuff.

Now for the Release. Please be gentle as this is my first release ever.

I want to thank Loneranger because I used his XML file as a template for mine. This was fun to make. I hope you guys enjoy it.

This will allow you to display random images anywhere you want.

Features:

• Reads from a specified directory.
• Only reads files whose filenames contain your specified text delimeter.
• Can specify file extensions to display (GIF JPG PNG)
• Perfect for babe of the week, etc.

See a working example here: http://www.freaks-network.com/forum/

The header images on the left will change whenever the page is refreshed.

Note: This generates a variable. Just insert the following wherever you want the random image to appear:

PHP Code:

$randpic

my site is "www.dawire.net"

the PATH for my site is "public_html/forums/images/randompics/"

My delimiter is "random" and I even went a inserted that in all my pics in that directory.

I even put the "$randpic" code in the header template and I get is a big red X. Can someone help me please?

I had this problem for some hours until I discovered that the relative PATH in my case have to be c:\Inetpub\dir\dir\etc\images because I run on Windows 2003 Server. Finally got it to work.

Where do i put the $randpic in this header ?

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<div align="center" class="element_outer_border">
<div align="center" class="element_inner_border">
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" class="element_header_bg">
<tr>
<td align="$stylevar[left]" valign="top" height="112"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<!-- /logo -->

Anywhere you want it to show up.

I really would like a time setting for the image to rotate so I can set it to change images every X seconds or hours.

Jugo: bcause it still not possible to use a different set of randem image for each template, then, is it possible to install this product twice, with, for each, different parameters ?

Thanks!

c0rupted, your 'PATH to images' is wrong, it should be something more like /kunden/homepages/htdocs/forums/images/random

When you use the CMPS tables as a new template, its content should look like this :

<tr>
<td class=alt1>
$randpic
</td>
</tr>

at least mine looks like this

Great Mod.

Will this work in 3.6.x generation? (Fingers crossed).
