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

I must be a complete noob because I cannot get this to work at all.. my big question is what template and where do you add $randpic???

[dodgechargerfan]

Well, really, you can put it wherever you want the picture to show up.

In my case, I edited the header, and put the variables right under the logo.

All you have to do is put the variable in where you want it. You can format it if you want, too.

I have mine in a table like this:

<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
	<td align="center">$randpic1</a></td>
	<td align="center">$randpic2</a></td>
	<td align="center">$randpic3</a></td>
	<td align="center">$randpic4</a></td>
	<td align="center">$randpic5</a></td>
	<td align="center">$randpic6</a></td>
	<td align="$stylevar[right]">
		&nbsp;
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

That puts 6 random images in a row across the top of my forums just below the logo and above the forum content.

still ain't working... below is my header code...

where do i put the code you suggested?

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="2" bordercolor=#3E5C92 bgcolor=#738FBF width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
<td align="$stylevar[right]">
&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

still not working... i know i have my paths set correctly for the images but they are not showing up...

[melodiq]

just figured it out... i didn't have the trailing front slash for the paths... thnx fellas...

[fabriceg]

Hi,

Sorry for this silly question, but… where did you set vars (the path, etc.) ?

$folder = $vbulletin->options['randimg_path'];
$imgurl = $vbulletin->options['randimg_url'];
$exts = $vbulletin->options['randimg_types'];

can't seem to get this working for me, no matter where i put the $randpic it still doesn't show. I've tried all kind of different paths and it still hasn't worked.

[melodiq]

make sure there are no trailing slashes on your paths.... that's what screwed me up...
