Rotating Forum Banners

Rotating Forum Banners

Tested on vBulletin 3.0.1


I have seen this sort of hack requested many times so I thought I would spend a bit of time and create one.

This will add upto 3 rotating image banners with links on each of your forums using your AdminCP.

The orignal slide show script came from Dynamic Drive

Some values you can change in the script are for pause between next image, animation speed and image size, just find:

var trans_width='480px' //slideshow width
var trans_height='60px' //slideshow height
var pause=5000 //SET PAUSE BETWEEN SLIDE (3000=3 seconds)
var degree=10 //animation speed. Greater is faster

If you use this please click install, thanks

I did 3 because I thought it was a good place to start, like I said it's easy to add more, but where do you stop? you might want 5, someone else 10, and another wants 25, to display on all forums shouldn't be a problem I will have a look at it
