Does anyone have sigrotator software??? [I know Smokey has lol]

[pradaboy]

I need some software or whatever to rotate different banners/text links in my sig. Is there a ready-made solution for this or is there a programmer who would be willing to do some work for me?

[skillfull]

it take like 2 minute to code...

[StuartD]

I made one, had it in AaronM's sig and it got removed even though the banners were advertisers. Guess rotators are a no no.

[digifan]

No need to code one.. Juicy was recommending one a few weeks back I hope I find the link.

[digifan]

Here you go

I'd like one where I can put a pic (like the titfuck gif) along with a text link...

the software Juicy posted doesn't seem to support this, anyone else?

I've posted this as a paid project on scriptlance and the programmers tell me it can't be done. It can only be done with images and not text links. Wanna prove them wrong contact me! I'll pay you for it.

Sure it can be done with text links... if your text links are images with the same color background as the place where they will be posted

[arachnO]

I have this one - I rotate some images as my avatars and sigbanners at other forum

haha I like your thinking!!! This may actually be a viable option

is it something I could use here (i.e. j a v a & html is no option)

if so please contact me I would be interested in buying a copy from you

[psyko514]

There's no way to rotate true text links here. You can only rotate images. The link can't be rotated either. And image rotation scripts are free all over the net, so don't let someone sucker you into buying one.

hmmm yeh that's true, the reflink would form a problem then. Thanks for the advice, looks like I will just have to change my sig everyday

[beemk]

it isnt impossible, there has to be a way to log into gfy and change your sig in the control panel every X amound of minutes. it might not be easy, but it can definitely be done.

you send the link to a php file on your server and the program can change the url the php file redirects to.

I'm aware of that option. What I meant is that there's no way to have the link match the banner if you're rotating through different sponsors.

Your approach of having the sig physically through the control panel is interesting... I'm sure it's possible, but definetly not practical.

How about you try this:

Get a text rotator script. Input html as the text to be rotated.

Your sig code image with text links whatever, will be rotated.

There now that was easy

[Top Jimmy]

Actually the text would need to be bbcode to work on the board, but the process is the same.

I'll make it really easy, do a search in google for a random quote rotator.

[Alex]

Isnt there a way to synchronize the image roating to with like an out.php file

Link your sig to yourdomain.com/out.php

Out php calls up the links from a DB and it synchronizes it with the image.

It can be done, just might involve a bit of money.

With a script like that, as far as I know, you have to embed PHP code in a page. That can't be done here.

I think you've helped me a lot... I'm gonna check out to see if it works

Jimmy:

For example I have this code now that takes a line out of a flat text file and displays this randomly.
When I go to http://www.mydomain.com/random/random.php it displays the text in my browser. But there is no vbcode that will allow me to show this in my signature or am I overlooking something?

Just put your text in images ... and rotate it too ...

yeh but with rotating different sponsors how could I rotate the matching links? rotating random links is easy but matching them is either impossible or very hard

[SmokeyTheBear]

PHP 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 !hahahaha ( $file = readdir($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);
    }
}

?>

If you want to rotate your link and image to match , you must get a little tricky, I suggest doing a cron job and replace an image every hour along with the link

[SmokeyTheBear]

hmmm the code is getting screwed because of gfy parse error..

just use this

Wouldn't letting the image rotator and link rotator go through a certain array (like 1 to 5) solve the problem of matching them?

smokey you should keep the girl getting shot in the head in your sig more ;]

drama = clicks

[XpressMedia]

Can't you use a random link changer script to call it from your server?

Sure you can it's under advanced options for post, or sigs.

Look up at the pretty little icons, You'll see it.

Yes you are overlooking something. look at the icons above when you reply. you will see one labled PHP. it's in the sig editor too.

Seems it has a 1000 character limit though, I just tried smokeys in it and it was too long.

Use a text rotator. use bbcode just as you would but place each sig on it's own line in the file.

like this

thanks for the suggestions everyone, I got a solution programmed by a friend already. You will see the premiere Feb 1st

again thanks for being amazing helpful!!!

That's for displaying pre-formatted code. It won't actually execute the code.

I've got a solution to display rotating images along with matching reflinks now. Pure text is still pretty much impossible IMO
