Header Rotator

[blazinchuck]

@blazinchuck:
GoDaddy uses plesk, not cPanel, I know, I have them...

well, i had to call them(godaddy) and ask how to change them...we verified "header"folder and "rotator.php" were set to 755. the header still wont change and then we changed each pic in that header folder to the same permissions...and no luck there either.

Folders: 755
Files (in folders): 644

[blazinchuck]

ok, thanks...i'll try one more time. also...should the logo URL just be"header/rotator.php" or the whole link"http://palmettoperformancediesels.com/header/rotator.php"

[KensonPlays]

since your forum is in root directory, it should be:
/header/rotator.php

[blazinchuck]

okey dokey...will try it now

[青山 素子]

Um, why not try to load that file directly in the browser and see if it works? That cuts SMF out entirely, which simplifies troubleshooting.

[blazinchuck]

well, i changed it, now says"/header/rotator.php"  but nothing is happening. guess the permissions are not right for the images in the folder now. i'll probably wait til i get home to use filezilla...since godady has a weird way of setting those

dang, i just dont get it...^^^^^this link works the way it should, i know im missing something

[KensonPlays]

Yeah, it works for me, hmmm.....

[blazinchuck]

ok, I made sure the header folder and rotator.php are set to 755, and the images within the folder are set to 644. I have tried the URL for logo as "header/rotator.php" "/header/rotator.php" and http://palmettoperformancediesels.com/header/rotator.php   nothing is working still, where else should i be looking. its like it doesnt know the header rotator has even been installed...weird?

Yeah, it works for me, hmmm.....

But aren't you running RC3? o_O I'd love to get this working on RC3

The http://palmettoperformancediesels.com/header/rotator.php link is just fine:



It can be assumed that the file & folder permission is alright. Can you just how the demo, so we can check that the code is on the right place. Thanx.

UPDATE



I think your problem is solved.

[blazinchuck]

Cyclon, I did everything the way I should have. uploaded the mod through package manager, then corrected the permissions for header/rotator.php (755)and the images in that folder(644), and tried three different URL settings for the logo image...

after all that, it still would not work. A friend of mine, walk me through the indextemplates...we found the original "<img=src",'brlogo.gif"<<<(that may not be it exactly-but you get the idea) link and replaced it with "http://palmettoperformancediesels.com/header/rotator.php"....once we did this...it began working. For some reason, it was like the mod did chane that in the templates to make it look for the new header mod, maybe im wrong? lemme know if there was something else i should have done, thanks again for the help guys,Chuck

[Informatics]

Its works. Just put all your images (for header) on the HEADER folder, that's all.

[MATTEK]

Any chance this will be updated for RC3?

[Informatics]

I think, its still compatible with the classic style (any version), but NOT on curve style.

[MATTEK]

I think, its still compatible with the classic style (any version), but NOT on curve style.

That's unfortunate for me.

[Informatics]

Sorry, its also unfortunate for me, i hope anyone else want to develop this mod. I'm not expert on design.

Thanx.

[snyperthugs]

OK Im really wanting to use this mod BUT It says TEST failed on index.template.php, so I tried to install manually, and on the 3rd step it says..

FIND:
echo '
            </td>
            <td align="right" class="catbg">
               <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/smflogo.gif" style="margin: 2px;" alt="" />
            </td>

BUT  That does not exist on my index.template.php 

Any ideas??   Thanks



UPDATE:

I got the rotator  to work WITHOUT modifying index.template.php at ALL!  The mod messes up the index. I backed up my index.template.php before installing the mod, Installed the mod, then put the original index.template.php back, and works fine.

[Informatics]

This mod is not compatible with the design structure of SMF2, especially the curve theme, but i think it still compatible with the classic (core) theme.
