Random Logo

[Grant SHerwood]

How do i make a random logo show up each time the page is refreshed? Like this http://www.dfwls1.com/forums

Step 1.
Create a directory with the logo's and name them
1.gif, 2.gif, 3.gif, etc.

Step 2.
Create a file called logo.php with this content.

<?php
Header("Content-type: image/gif");
Header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
$nr = rand(1, 8);
$fn = fopen("$nr.gif","r");
fpassthru($fn);
?>

Replace the 1, 8 <---- with the total number of logo 1.gif, 2.gif .. that you have (if you only have 5, set it 1, 5 - if you got 20, set it 1, 20

Step 3.
Modify the header template and replace the img code source with :

<img src="logo.php" border="0" />

That should work, check out:

Floris, that's nice! Thanks.

That doesn't really matter. As long as it links to the right files.
You can put everything in images/random/ and the index.php too. (not the index one from vb)
Then in your header template <img src="images/random/index.php" />

Thanks Floris, it works great.

Just wondering, is there a way to have a different header show up on certain forums without doing the "parent/child" thing? We have a few forums that we would like a different logo/header displayed but at the same time we have multiple styles so the whole "parent/child" thing doesn't seem like it would work. Right now we have a different logo folder set up for each style.

TIA

Is there maybe a way to incorporate the code from this old thread into the php file above?

Thanks for your time

You can use conditionals in the template to use different code for different forums.

<if condition="$forumid == '5'"><img src="logo1.php" border="0" /><else /><img src="logo2.php" border="0" /></if>

This way it shows a default logo for all - random one - and only a differnet one for forumid 5.

ok, what am I doing wrong?

    <td width="469" height="137" align="left" valign="top"><if condition="$forumid == '39'><img src="tren_z/logo/6rr.jpg" width="469" height="137" alt="" /><else /><img src="tren_z/logo/logo.php" width="469" height="137" alt="" /></if></td>

[RichTJ99]

I get different errors depending on if I leave the code in a single line or if I break it out into multiple line. Either way it will not work for me. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong, any help would be much appreciated. TIA

<if condition="$forumid == '39'>

should be

<if condition="$forumid == '39'">
