Fluid Header Rotate?

ok we have all seen a static banner/header rotator script, i have scoured vb.org to no result. anyone know where a script is to rotate the image that make a fluid header?

left_head.gif.......................mid_head.gif(r epeater)...................right_head.gif

etc....

if not ill just set them in a new folder and change the url's in the ACP periodically.

Do you mean a banner/advert?

However - you could use phpAdsNew for this too :)

no the header image on talk delaware, i have these here.

left side

middle repeater

right side
http://www.talkdelaware.com/talkstuffbg/misc/header_right.jpg

if i could make 3 more, same size as those, add them in a folder and have them (all 3 as a set) randomize so they match that would be great.

You can use this: How To Implement A Random / Rotating Banner (http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5624)

ok so for example, you have this code described in the hack

$random_number = rand(1, 5);
$random_banner[1] = '<a href="http://www.link1.com/"><img src="path/to/banner1.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';
$random_banner[2] = '<a href="http://www.link2.com/"><img src="path/to/banner2.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>';

this is my header code for the fluid header

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top" style="width: 420px; background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_left.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat;">
<div style="padding-top: 9px; padding-left: 5px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px; color: #FFFFFF;">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
</td>
<td style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_bg.jpg);"><div align="right"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_right.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="134"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

so combined it would be like this?

$random_number = rand(1, 5);
$random_banner[1] = '<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top" style="width: 420px; background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_left.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat;">
<div style="padding-top: 9px; padding-left: 5px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px; color: #FFFFFF;">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
</td>
<td style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_bg.jpg);"><div align="right"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_right.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="134"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>';
$random_banner[2] = '<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top" style="width: 420px; background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc2]/header_left.jpg); background-repeat:no-repeat;">
<div style="padding-top: 9px; padding-left: 5px; font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px; color: #FFFFFF;">$vbphrase[all_times_are_gmt_x_time_now_is_y]</div>
</td>
<td style="background-image:url($stylevar[imgdir_misc2]/header_bg.jpg);"><div align="right"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc2]/header_right.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="134"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>';

so now i have banner 1 in [imgdir_misc] and banner 2 is found in [imgdir_misc2]

sorry but caddy is a coding newbie, and this is a live board.

I truly am not understanding what you are after Chase, I'm sorry.

Caddy are you just wanting the header image to change with every page load? So they see a new header image?

yeah but its a fluid image, made of 3 parts, but yes, thats what i want Mac :)

oooooooooohhhhh, I get it now.
can you even do that with a fluid header?

It becomes alot harder when you want to change the entire header image.

If you just want to change 1 side of the header, then its easy with the hack.

As Joey said it will be hard. What will end up happening is that each image will be different on each page reload. So the header won't match up. If I get some time I will mess around and see if I can come up with something but it might not be this week.

Could always have 1 image fixed - that blends into the background --

i could, but i want like a beach scene, and a winter scene and a river scene etc etc.....ill mess with it.

thanks guys.

You could do like your banner is in your sig and have just the right side picture rotate. Keep the left side the same design. Just a thought.

good ideas guys, thanks, now to tinker!
