Forum Home Enhancements - Random Image Box On Forumhome

Okay, this is mine first little hack.

Files To Edit: 1
Templates To Edit: 1
Total Installation Time: 5 minutes

This hack creates a box on your forumhome, wich will show an random image, of a specific directory.
If you add an image to the dir, its added to the hack

Find the next line in index.php :

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Add UNDER:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Now login to your admin cp and add on the forumhome template the next line on the place where you want the box, most common is under the $navbar

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

Now create an folder called "random" in your /images/ dir and add your images here.
You should find out the with that will fit on your template yourself, for me it was 710 px
You can edit the "Just A Random Image" text with anything you'll like.

looks a real nice hack
might come real useful

not sure i need this on my forum but still it looks real nice

let's me added one more thing .
after successed installed.
go to your random folder and use your folder options to unhide system file. after you did it you should see "Thumbs.db"

just get another image and rename it to thumbs.db
so this way. when you get into forum home . if you don't do this the random image from your homeforum will pop once death picture in sequences.
also not even the images , you can do add the js script into it and from above add anything you want.
this will work for SWF, WMV,.... and more.
goodluck
example:
original image : 1.gif or 1.jpg or 1.nrg
rename image to thumbs.db
that's it
if you don't do this your homeforum will show 1 dead picture.

nice hack m8
thanks a million,

iv clicked installed:p


could do with a minor update for restriction on image size.
that would be well cool

top hack m8 thanks

or insted it could be like this
in forumhome,were you whant it to show

<script>
var logo=new Array()
logo[0]='<img src="images/random/logo1.gif" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[1]='<img src="images/random/logo2.gif" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[2]='<img src="images/random/logo3.gif" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[3]='<img src="images/random/logo4.gif" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[4]='<img src="images/random/logo5.gif" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[5]='<img src="images/random/logo6.gif" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[6]='<img src="images/random/logo7.gif" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[7]='<img src="images/random/logo8.gif" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[8]='<img src="images/random/logo9.gif" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[9]='<img src="images/random/logo10.gif" border="center" alt="" />'
var displaylogo=Math.floor(Math.random()*(logo.length) )
document.write(logo[displaylogo])
</script>

with no php,
just call images
images/random/logo1.gif
to
images/random/logo10.gif

[infinityfxp]

or using the php its not so picky chousing any picy this way


<script>
var logo=new Array()
logo[0]='<img src="images/random/$randomImage" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[1]='<img src="images/random/$randomImage" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[2]='<img src="images/random/$randomImage" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[3]='<img src="images/random/$randomImage" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[4]='<img src="images/random/$randomImage" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[5]='<img src="images/random/$randomImage" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[6]='<img src="images/random/$randomImage" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[7]='<img src="images/random/$randomImage" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[8]='<img src="images/random/$randomImage" border="center" alt="" />'
logo[9]='<img src="images/random/$randomImage" border="center" alt="" />'
var displaylogo=Math.floor(Math.random()*(logo.length) )
document.write(logo[displaylogo])

Nice hack

One problem im getting tho..........how do i make the system file show in the random folder? like this instruction

go to your random folder and use your folder options to unhide system file. after you did it you should see "Thumbs.db"

Thats the only step i havent been able to do so i renamed a jpeg to Thumbs.db anyway and im getting a new pic after every refresh but its way to big man.

Im sticking this hach in a sidebar also.

Anyone know what to do?

thanks as always
