Random Logo in Header · **Released**: 10-26-2005

What This Does
This will make a random logo which you select appear on the top of your board.

You must have JavaScript enabled.

Now let's get started, shall we?
Go to your admincp and open up the "header" template.

At the very begining of your header template, add:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
 
<!-- Begin Random Logo In Header Script
 
var theImages = new Array() // do not change this
 
<!-- Edit the url images to match yours
theImages[0] = 'http://www.yoursite.com/forum/images/banner1.gif'
theImages[1] = 'http://www.yoursite.com/forum/images/banner2.gif'
 
 
 
var j = 0
var p = theImages.length;
var preBuffer = new Array()
for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
preBuffer[i] = new Image()
preBuffer[i].src = theImages[i]
}
var whichImage = Math.round(Math.random()*(p-1));
function showImage(){
document.write('<div align="center"><a href="index.php"><img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></div>');
}
 
// End -->
</script>

Find:

Code:

<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
    <td align="$stylevar[left]" class="logobg"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>

And replace it with:

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
 
 
<!-- Begin
showImage();
// End --></script>

And you're done

To add more images, go back to:

Code:

theImages[1] = 'http://www.yoursite.com/forum/images/banner2.gif'

And after, you can add:

Code:

theImages[2] = 'http://www.yoursite.com/forum/images/banner3.gif'

And so on.

I know this can be done with a plugin or some sort of installer, but since I have no idea on how to do that, I suppose there won't be one unless someone creates one, or until I figure out how.

If you would like to recieve updates on this modification, please click the 'Install' button.

OK thanks Daniel.

I found this that will work also for random pictures or banners.

PHP Code:


			
<script language="Javascript"><!-- 
function image() { 
}; 
image = new image(); 
number = 0; 
// imageArray 
image[number++] = "<a href='http://www.domain.net'><img src='http://www.domain.net/picture1.gif' border='0'></a>"
image[number++] = "<a href='http://www.domain.net'><img src='http://www.domain.net/picture2.gif' border='0'></a>"
image[number++] = "<a href='http://www.domain.net'><img src='http://www.domain.net/picture3.jpg' border='0'></a>"
image[number++] = "<a href='http://www.domain.net'><img src='http://www.domain.net/picture4.gif' border='0'></a>"
image[number++] = "<a href='http://www.domain.net'><img src='http://www.domain.net/picture4.jpg' border='0'></a>"
 
// Carry on adding images - as many as you want
increment = Math.floor(Math.random() * number); 
document.write(image[increment]); 
//-->
</script>

But I liked the direction yours was heading in. With the one line you could place anywhere like this:

PHP Code:


			
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
 
 
<!-- Begin
showImage();
// End --></script>

*Sighs*, why cannot anyone write there own scripts (not vB hacks (leave that to coders who are expericend with vB), but JS is pretty simple)
Random Image Scripts with links or with out are really simple. This will work for links (put this in top of headinclude)

Code:

 <script type='text/javascript'> function randImage() {   images = new array();   links = new array();   images[0] = 'http://mysite.com/mybanner.gif';   links[0] = 'http://mysite.com/service/';   images[1] = 'http://mysite.com/cool.gif';   links[1] = 'http://mysite.com/cool.html';   var randIndex = Math.round(Math.random()*(images.length-1));   document.write("<a href='" + links[randIndex] + "'><img src='" + links[randIndex] + "'></a>");   return true; } </script>

In Header Under "" put:

Code:

 <script type='text/javascript'> randImage(); </script>

images[x] and links[x] are matching, so if you have images[1] configured to a banner for your hosting services, and you have a specific page for that banner, links[1] would be THE FULL URL to that page.And I just wrote this, and I didn't test it, so there may be a few errors. Tell me if it doesn't work.

wel if this is going to turn to installer it will be a hit.......nice work guys

GrendelKhan{TSU · #16 10-29-2005, 02:38 AM

10? 14? man, all of a sudden, I feel very old :/ lol

When I was ten... "tag" meant making a 'touch' when playing 'Tag' (as in, "TAG! you're it!!"). Making a "Bold tag" would be doing so aggresively and using a fancy word like "bold".

as in, "Wow! that was a bold tag! nice one! I guess I'm it!. RUN!"

lol

(ie: Nice work guys!! this will be very useful!)

<<< /me awaits plugin/product.

Thank you!

I look forward to a plugin for this too, but with the template changes it works nicely.

Ten and fourteen, wow. I'm very impressed.

Daneil, I can't get this to align with a 3 paert fluid logo.

Here is the code

Code:

<!-- new logo -->
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" width="100%" align="center">

  <tr>
    <td width="390">
    <img border="0" src="http://www.cardraft.com/themes/original/tunerleft.jpg" width="390" height="70"></td>
    <td width="100%" height="70" background="http://www.cardraft.com/themes/original/tunercenter.jpg">
    </td>
    <td width="390" border="0">

   <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
 <!-- Begin
showImage();
// End --></script>

	</td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!-- end new logo -->

you can see it on my test site at http://cardraft.com (not vb cuz it's my test site for php but i have 3 vb's)

can you help me align the 3? They were aligned b4 i put in the script.
