Link to Mod

This mod will add script which will enable you to have random images load as your banner, the banner is set above your forum, I have added the smf logo as a temporary logo.

You can add images to the LogoImages directory in you theme and they will be randomly displayed to all your members.

The Rotator script was courtesy of another author, I just made it easy for ya! :P

Its a very simple mod, it adds a banner logo above your forum, and randomly selects the banners in the LogoImages folder.

Any online / working demo?

Seconded.

I do not have hosting to provide a demo, and would not rely on free hosting to serve up as a decent demo site.

On the other hand, its really simple to imagine yourself.

You put 10 banners inside the LogoImages Directory, every time your pages loads, one of the 10 will be chosen randomly.
The Banner is above the entire forum.

I love the idea of this and I'm trying to install it, i have to do it manually and I've run into trouble. I cannot find "/Sources/ManageSettings.php"

I checked numerous times and I have managesearch and managesmileys but no managesettings, could it be titled something else?

I have SMF 1.1.10

edited to add, i also cant edit the page "/Themes/default/css/index.css" like the Installation Instructions for 1.1.10 says because again cant find it

thanks for any help

This mod installs on SMF 2 RC3, but it can be used on SMF 1 too, just needs to be manually installed, I think I will port this tomorrow, its pretty simple.

If you use the older version you will not have to worry about that, instead of just simply turning the banner off you can just uninstall the mod.

SMF 1 does not have ManageSettings.php file, that's why you cannot find it.

If the index.template.php file passes you could install the mod, but remember to add the index.css edits to your style.css file.

Hi, I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error when I try to see the banner, in the forum it is not shown, and when I see directly the file (hxxp://www.mywebsite.com/.../LogoImages/random_logo.php) I get this error. T_T

Edited:

Sorry, I fixed the problem, thanks for this mod. U^^

On the other hand, its really simple to imagine yourself.

You put 10 banners inside the LogoImages Directory, every time your pages loads, one of the 10 will be chosen randomly.
The Banner is above the entire forum.

My forum has a forum banner graphic that matches a graphic on the far right, with the default gradient spacer in between.
Is there a way for the mod to do a random banner switch whilst also picking its random 'right side' counterpart?  I won't worry about the spacer...

I install this mod, all the goes ok, no errors. When I activate it in the admin panel I get a square box with a red X where the picture is suppose to be. So I uninstalled it and tried to install it manually, but I still get the same error, a red X. I am using RC4.

Any and all help is appreciated.

I had to manually install it for RC4 and it's not appearing above my image.

When I just try to run random_logo.php from the LogoImages directory, I get an "Internal Server Error" message.

any help would be appreciated

Here are the files I modified.
