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 code actual:

<td class="alt1" width="100%">

with fonction (forumhome template):

<td class="alt1" width="100%"  style="background: url($randpic);">

but don't work

What if I wanna do this for my imagecash gallery how would I make it read all the files in a gallery? Or for another site?

I tried just replacing the title image path in the AdminCP -> Style Manager -> StyleVars with the variable name, however when I do that I just get the default link to appear, and no image at all.

Can someone provide some clear instructions on how to do this?

TIA

Is anyone using this with vb 3.5.0? If so, could you tell me where to place the variable in order to make this work? I'm lost....

You need to put the $randpic variable in tags.

<tr>
<td>$randpic</td>
</tr>

Something like that where ever you want it on your board. You will need to modify the template.

Thanks, however that still doesn't answer my question of where to put it. Everytime I look for something about changing the logo I just get directed to the AdminCP to change the image path.

Can you tell me the name of the template that needs to be modified to add this?

Can this be modified (or is there another hack) so I can put random quotes on my forum? So I need it to work with text not images, with some kind of text manager.

(...and yes I realise I could use some kind of JS code in the forum header...I'm just asking if there's a specific VB hack).

Cheers.

That's cool - thx a lot. Works great. Use it for my coppermine gallery and i can change width and height from the pictures in the plugin-system. :nervous:

[G0F0RBR0KE]

Can this be also included in signatures?

[rharbison]

Is there any way to make the image clickable?

i.e. I specify a url for each image, and it allows you to click on the image and go there?
