Hello,

I would like to install a rotating banner image at the top of my forum. Do I do this in the css or the template? I have several images of our town and run them through a script.



Bobn

Actually,, I want to add a script t0p rotate the big image at the top of this cloned template with several images: http://martinsvilleforums.com/index.php

mirahalo

there are plenty of both php or javascript scripts, search in google, pick one that suits your needs then attach your index.template here and post a link of paste the code you found.

Bobn

Ok, 

<script type="text/javascript">
var imgs3 = new Array("http://www.martinsvilleforums.com/Themes/bob/images/_97R2097_flipped.jpg","http://www.martinsvilleforums.com/Themes/bob/images/_97R2149.jpg","http://www.martinsvilleforums.com/Themes/bob/images/_97R2327_cropped1.jpg");
var alt3 = new Array();
var currentAd3 = 0;
var imgCt3 = 3;
function cycle3() {
  if (currentAd3 == imgCt3) {
    currentAd3 = 0;
  }
var banner3 = document.getElementById('adBanner3');
var link3 = document.getElementById('adLink3');
  banner3.src=imgs3[currentAd3]
  banner3.alt=alt3[currentAd3]
  currentAd3++;
}
  window.setInterval("cycle3()",5000);
</script>

/* This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.

The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.

The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.

Can we make that work?

mirahalo

can you wait?  usually  there's a 24 hour period before you can actually bump your topic again, remember, all people in here are volunteers.

Yes sir,, sorry about that

mirahalo

ok, you use css to load the image:

Code (css) Select

#top-banner {
background-attachment: scroll;
background-clip: border-box;
background-color: transparent;
background-image: url("http://martinsvilleforums.com/Themes/bob/images/custom/top-banner.jpg");
background-origin: padding-box;
background-position: 50% 0px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: auto;
height: 305px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-top: 0px;
position: relative;
width: 970px;
}


in that case, it will be much easier if you use a php script rather than a javascript one,   heres a basic script:

Code (php) Select

<?php
header
("Content-type: image/gif");
die(
file_get_contents(mt_rand(1,6) . '.gif'));
?>




1,6   where  6 is the number of  files you want to display, if you wnt to use jpg or png instead of gif  change the .gif   here  image/gif  and here .gif

save it as index.php.  and uploaded in a custom folder,   mysite.com/banners/  for example, then upload all the images you need to display in the same folder named it 1.gif,  2.gif, 3.gif, etc   if you prefer use a .jpg change it in the script.

then, in you css  call the index.php file:


background-image: url("http://martinsvilleforums.com/banners/index.php");

and thats it.

Very Cool!  Quick Question though,, Could I have a rotating image scrip without page refresh?

Matthew K.

You can accomplish this with some simple jQuery. Eventually, I may write a mod for this...we'll see.

Jqurery? Not familiar with that. The images dont have to be linked to anything

Anyone know a simple way to do this? I found many java scripts to do it but I cant get it to work:
