Header Rotator

[tampaba1]

I just about have it worked out. I can get the images rotating in the header or footer areas but, can't figure how to get them in the overall body. If it was html it would be easy but, I'm lost when it comes to php.

Thanks for trying to help.

[Informatics]

Maybe you could show me your idea about this html stuff.

[tampaba1]

I've given up on it and went back to using javascript. Thanks.

[Informatics]

OK. I hope you find your own soution.

How to change header rotator image? I try to change in header folder but it can't change (permission denied) then i try to change the permission, but it couldn't work. Pls Help me,  look into my forum hxxp:investpassport.com [nonactive]

Just delete the old (default) images on HEADER folder. Put it with your own images.

But, dont delete the rotator.php file

I get an error -

I think, there is a mod that change some script on index.template.php file that should be changed by my mod... there is incompatible...

maybe you could try it / install it on new fresh instal SMF... try it on localhost first. oK.

Please help
I like the mod but its not the right thing for the site I have however now that i have uninstalled it I have now lost my Logo.gif in the header area how do I get it back.
In advance thank you

[Informatics]

it cant, dont you notice it when youn wanna uninstall this mod... you have to backup all of your header folder...
When you uninstalling this mod, it will erase HEADER folder.

Hi cyclon
I am really new at this and of course stupid me didnt notice that, just getting excited about things. so how do i now re install my header folder I cant even find it. Sorry to sound so stupid but I am a little lost.

Cool mod but is it possible to put flash files instead of images?

[Informatics]

Just install usually... but, the files inside this header folder is not your PICs anymore, its my images as sample.

Btw, it will change the image/header path.
You could change it with yours.

Just go here:
Administration > Current Theme, fill your image on Logo image URL:

Hope your problem is fixed.

Thanx. But, it will be more complex on coding.
You could read the rotator.php file... i'm not sure if it will support some flash files. Thanx.

Thank you Cyclon
All is well now

sorry to be such an idiot but a lesson a day..........

Check out my site and see what I did with your mod:

I absolutely LOVE this mod Cyclon, but in my opinion your rotating header is for people with more experience in PHP. I have been teaching myself PHP for about a year now and I found a few good tweeks for your mod if anyone watching this board is interested.

I didnt like the way the image was set at 100% width. It makes the header grainy. So I decided to go with a fixed width and height of 468x60 (Thats a common image size standard on the net so it makes it easier for you to add new images in the future)

I also didnt care much for the removal of <td class="catbg" height="32">, which leaves a white background if you decide to tweek the image size. So I put <td class="catbg" height="32"> back into the file.

For those of you who have been tweeking around this WONDERFUL mod and are getting a bit frustrated, I hope this code will make it easy for you

Code Select Expand

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="catbg" height="32">';

if (empty($settings['header_logo_url']))
echo '
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 140%; ">', $context['forum_name'], '</span>';
else
echo '
<center><a href="', $boardurl,'" target="_self" title="',$context['forum_name'],' - ',$boardurl,'">
<img src="', $boardurl, '/' , $settings['header_logo_url'], '" width="468px" height="60px" alt="' , $context['forum_name'], '" /></center>
            </a>';

echo '
</td>
</tr>
</table>';


With that code replacing the original code, It makes it easy on the admin to size up the image however he/she wants without loosing the background image integrity of the theme. All you have to do is change your height and width to suit your standards.

I hope this helps some people. I love SMF and I plan on trying to do my part in this community.

To strengthen the header rotator, I centered my Navigation Bar by accessing ./themes/default/index.template.php

Find this...

Code Select Expand

// Show the start of the tab section.
echo '
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin-left: 10px;">


Replace it with this...

Code Select Expand

// Show the start of the tab section.
echo '
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="margin: 0 auto;">


So I hope this helps out alot of people

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;

Jesuschristarcade - Its not just for breakfast anymore
Jesuschristarcade - My God! Its full of stars.
Jesuschristarcade - Because that other arcade sucks!
Jesuschristarcade - Guzzle it down with beer and call me in the morning.

Well, you get the idea I hope. Is there an upper limit to the amount of header images you can place in the folder?
