A question : what is ur opinion ?

I like width and height of 468x60 only because it is a standard set image size on the net. As far as file type I would say your options with this WONDERFUL mod isnt bound by file types like other mods (such as Joomla) may offer.

I would suggest that you ask yourself a question; "Do I want animation or high picture quality?" If you want a rotating animated header, you have to go with a GIF. If you want anything else, I suggest you make your first header in JPEG *AND* PNG and decide which one you like best.. if JPEG suits your fancy more than PNG, then go with that...IF PNG suits your fancy more than JPEG then go with that.

This is the same choice system I use on my sites and it has never failed me. I tried all 3 file types and decided that JPEG was the best choice for me because it made my simple header look good and it wasnt a very large file, meaning it would load faster in the rotator better. If you look at my site, you will see that EVERY header Image I have has the same website title at the top, but a different comment on the bottom of it. But you may have a different experience. Perhaps the headers you use will look better in PNG, in such a case you should use PNG. Perhaps the headers you use will look better in JPEG, in such a case you should use JPEG.

PNG is usually a more bigger file than JPEG, which means a longer loading time.

I hope this helps

Is there a possibility that rather than rotating the header, members can choose it (the header)?

[Informatics]

Everything possible... but, i think it will bother your members if each time they visit your site, they must choose the header

Maybe other mod developer can help it.

Hi and thanks for the MOD.  Couple questions I cannot figure out from reading the information.  You say.

"Please change all images in the header folder with yours
- For sample, i use image with size 800 x 120 px
- The URL for header (logo) changed with rotator.php that is included in this mod"

Where or what is the "header folder" or is downloaded with the mod?

So we manually go in and make the code change to the index.template file?

So if I have 10 images I would upload them all in the "header folder" and remove the ones already in the folder?

Thanks for your time I am not too good with php

1. The folder name is HEADER, its automatically created by this mod.
2. Just upload you imaes into that folder

That's all.

One question Cyclon: On the rotating header mod, is there a limit to the amount of images you can put in your ./header folder? I would love to pop out about 10 different headers with all of them having the same design except for a comment at the bottom of them such as;

I use 47 images with no problem 

[Filipina]

thanks cyclon and villasg I will try the MOD out this weekend   Already created my banners

[Filipina]

Had major problem with the MOD.  After uploading it would not let me delete any of the images in the header folder.  I tried to Chmod file permissions to 777 in my Cpanel and it said something like "File Op failure permissions not allowed".  I tried to go in with an FTP program and upload my image into the header folder and it said "Critical Error". 

First time this has ever happened and all the other files allow me to change permissions and delete images out of them.  I could not do anything to the header so I just uninstalled the mod.  Any ideas?   

[Filipina]

Never mind problem solved.  Tech support told me

"These files were showing up as owned by "nobody," probably due to the method you used to install them. I have changed the permission"

Not sure why I just used the package manager to install. Oh well works great now!

Nope, not needed something manually.
Just install like the way it is... and prepare your images... then upload.

one more thing!

1.before i ruin my forum, will it work on this theme?  Dilber MC Theme by HarzeM
2. how can i make the header like 200 pixels instead of 120 like you have it?

[Informatics]

1. i dont know if you install it on Dilber MC Theme by HarzeM, it will be compatible.

please follow the manual, try it at home (localhost) first

2. Do you mean the height of the images? i think its just fine.

All image's width is stretched for suiting with your monitor i think. lol.
