How do i rotate my banners?

[zach1288]

If you look on my website http://www.jeepsource.org/forum you will see 2 banners at the top of the page. I want to rotate them like every xx minutes or each time the page is refreshed. I am a not good with coding so can you help me.

I had a similiar way.

Add a new plugin.
Product: vbulletin
Hook Location: global_start
Title: Image Rotator
Plugin PHP Code:

$rand = rand(1, 2);

if($rand == 1)
{
   $display_image = "<a href='http://www.offroadoverstock.com'> <img 
src='http://www.jeepsource.org/images/offroadoverstock468x60.jpg' border=0>";
}
else
{
  $display_image = "<a href='http://www.raingler.com'> <img src='http://www.jeepsource.org/images/raingler1.gif' border=0>
</a>";
} 

Plugin is Active: Yes.

Open the template where you placed the two banners.
Delete them and replace with $display_image

Go into your Admin CP.

On the left frame near the bottom open the exapnd "Plugin System".
In that box should be "Add New Plugin", click on that.

Refer to my post above and enter all the details.

Thanks everyone, it works

Is there a way to set it to rotate every 60 seconds?

[Floris]

With more complex javascript. Maybe some hacker on vborg could rip the code that online.php uses and make it available for global use to call .. in your plugins. But this goes outside vb support... check on vborg.

How do you add a third banner?

[0ptima]

Had this installed on my 3.5, 3.6 forums and it works with 3.7 too.

[Saar]

<?php
$files = array(); 
$folder = './rotation/'; //folder with rotation graphics
$handle = opendir($folder);
$exts = explode(' ','jpg jpeg png gif');
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
foreach($exts as $ext) { // for each extension check the extension
if (preg_match('/\.'.$ext.'$/i', $file, $test)) { // faster than ereg, case insensitive
$files[] = $file; // it's good
}
}
}
closedir($handle); // We're not using it anymore
$rand = array_rand($files);
header('Location: '.$folder.$files[$rand]); // Voila!
?>

<div align="center"><img src="rotation.php" alt="" height="131" width="500" border="0" align="center" /></div>

I hope this helps.
