Automatic vB logo rotation

[AndyA]

I have a Motorcycle forum and from time to time I use one of the members ride photo's as the forum logo. Can anyone create a mod which will rotate the logo automatically say once a week ?

Thanks.

This could easily be done with a standard php script and an include where the image graphic would go.

That sounds promising, can anyone make such a script for me to use ? :nervous:

They are everywhere on the internet.

Your image code:

<img src="$headerimage" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" />

Put this in your phpinclude_start

$totalheaderimages = X; // change to the number of header images you have
$randomindex = rand(1, $totalheaderimages);
$headerimage = "images/random/header$randomindex.gif"; // change to the path of your images

You would images header01 header02 etc

I'm not that familiar with php stuff, can you explain in dummy speak ?

My header:-

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
	<td align="center"><a href="http://www.throttlejockey.co.uk/cmps_index.php"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>

</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

Also where would I find phpinclude_start (I use vB 3.5).

Much appreciated.

Anyone ?

I also cannot find phpinclude_start template in vb 3.5

You probably can't find it, because it doesn't exist

Instead (for 3.5), go to "Plugin System -> Add New Plugin". Select "global_start" for the location, and give it a title. In this case, something like "Logo Rotation".

Then, put the php code in the "code" box.
