I tried it but I just get plain text "Rotating sig"

[Chili327]

Just ask thelastneo.. he has it set up already & has been doing it for years.!!

[Red0ctobeR]

Tat is because he hosts his own website.

Timely reply.. lol

 

Does that mean.. the place in the first post (clintonio) is the only place to do it.?

 

Does it take up a lot of space on a server.?

Hell, i could make a folder for people to use, if it doesn't take up too much room.

If you have the sigs hosted it is just HTML that lets you rotate the sigs.

its actually php, not html

This is a great tool for those of you who like to frequently change your sigs

 

 

Dont know how many of you are familiar with this concept, but its actually pretty cool for those of you who have access to some sort of web hosting.

 

Basically the concept is simple.. I'll explain it in laymans terms, then the coding will come later.

 

 

You basically create a directory online somewhere such as :

 

urgentfury.com/rotatingsig

 

in that directory you would upload the images that you would like to have in your rotation ( you could in theory have the images anywhere you'd like, but its easier for the code to have the images locally, rather that all across the internet (faster load times)

 

Along with the images, you would upload a small text file that basically does the work for you.

 

Once you have the code up, you essentially would insert your "CODE" like this into your sig, instead of having something like .jpg, .png, .gif

 

Code:

 

 

 

Now for the fun stuff

 

Step 1. Make a directory on your webserver, call it whatever you want.. (which is a subfolder.. but never mind that)

 

 

Step 2. Upload whatever images you want to have in your rotation to THAT directory

 

Step 3. Copy this code:

 

 Code:
 <?php

 $folder = '.';

 $extList = array();$extList['gif'] = 'image/gif';$extList['jpg'] = 'image/jpeg';$extList['jpeg'] =

 'image/jpeg';$extList['png'] = 'image/png';


 $img = null;if (substr($folder,-1) != '/') {$folder = $folder.'/';}if (isset($_GET['img'])) {$imageInfo =

 pathinfo($_GET['img']);if (isset( $extList[ strtolower( $imageInfo['extension'] ) ] ) &&file_exists(

 $folder.$imageInfo['basename'] )) {$img = $folder.$imageInfo['basename'];}} else {$fileList = array();$handle =

 opendir($folder);while ( false !== ( $file = readdir($handle) ) ) {$file_info = pathinfo($file);if (isset(

 $extList[ strtolower( $file_info['extension'] ) ] )) {$fileList[] = $file;}}closedir($handle);if

 (count($fileList) > 0) {$imageNumber = time() % count($fileList);$img = $folder.$fileList[$imageNumber];}}if

 ($img!=null) {$imageInfo = pathinfo($img);$contentType = 'Content-type: '.$extList[ $imageInfo['extension']

 ];header ($contentType);readfile($img);} else {if ( function_exists('imagecreate') ) {header ("Content-type:

 image/png");$im = @imagecreate (100, 100)or die ("Cannot initialize new GD image stream");$background_color =

 imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0,0,0);imagestring ($im, 2, 5,

 5, "IMAGE ERROR", $text_color);imagepng ($im);imagedestroy($im);}}?>

 

Step 4. Start notepad, and paste that code into notepad, and save it as "index.php"

 

Step 5. Upload "index.php" to the directory you created earlier

 

 

To test that it works simply type in the address in your browswer:

 

http://urgentfury.com/rotatingsig/index.php

 

if you see an image, refresh the page, and it should change automatically to another image that you have in that directory.

 

 

Step 6. Edit your sig in your forum profile to read:

 

Code:

 

 

 

 

Enjoy.

You forgot to use the little code, code. LOL
