I personally tested it on my site <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />The new method is even simpler, you no longer have to <br />edit ubbt.inc.php <br /> _________________________ Twisty []http://www.mameworld.info/misc/nana2.gif[/] MAMEWorld

ChAoS_dup1 Code Monkey Registered: 11/15/02 Posts: 576 Loc: Great Northwest	Would it be hard to add in a variable that would rotate them without refreshing the page? <br />Maybe something similar to this? <br /> <br /> <br /><?php // DynAds: Display an ad per period <br /> $StartDate = "15 January 2004" ; <br /> $PeriodHours = 24 ; <br /> $AdGroup = "NameOfTheAdGroup" ; <br /> $DispPosName = "NameForThisAdDisplayPosition" ; <br /> $ScriptUrl = "http://YourDomain/DynAdsInstallPath/ad.pl" ; <br />// No editing beyond this line <br /> $PerCount = (int)((time() - strtotime($StartDate)) / ($PeriodHours6060)) ; <br /> $url = $ScriptUrl . "?pos=" . urlencode($DispPosName) . "&agn=" . urlencode($AdGroup) . "&dsp=html&sel=seq&ano=" . $PerCount ; <br /> @include($url) ; <br />?> <br /><<<<gets ready to duck and run <br /> <br /> <br />$ScriptUrl = "http://YourDomain/DynAdsInstallPath/ad.pl" ; <br /> <br />could be taken out and replaced with banners.inc.php (I think) <br /> <br />maybe like so <br /> <br /><?php // DynAds: Display an ad per period <br />$StartDate = "15 January 2004" ; <br />$PeriodHours = 24 ; <br />$AdGroup = "Test" ; <br />$DispPosName = "Test" ; <br />$ScriptUrl = "http://emeraldforestseattle.nuclearfallout.net/ubbthreadss/includes/banners.inc.php" ; <br />// No editing beyond this line <br />$PerCount = (int)((time() - strtotime($StartDate)) / ($PeriodHours11)) ; <br />$url = $ScriptUrl . "?pos=" . urlencode($DispPosName) . "&agn=" . urlencode($AdGroup) . "&dsp=html&sel=seq&ano=" . $PerCount ; <br />@include($url) ; <br />?> <br /> <br />and it would rotate every minute <br /> <br />or is this over killl and I should just use Meta Refresh?

What you'll want to do is use client-side scripting for this task ie. Javascript as opposed to server-side scripting ie. PHP So try this instead then. Add the following code to your generic template where the PHP include line is from my original mod which won't be needed anymore...

Code:

 &lt;script language="JavaScript"&gt; <br /> &lt;!-- <br /> function adArray() { <br />  for (i=0; i*2&lt;adArray.arguments.length; i++) { <br />   this[i] = new Object(); <br />   this[i].src = adArray.arguments[i*2]; <br />   this[i].href = adArray.arguments[i*2+1]; <br />  } <br />  this.length = i; <br /> } <br /> function getAdNum() { <br />  dat = new Date(); <br />  dat = (dat.getTime()+"").charAt(8); <br />  if (dat.length == 1) <br />   ad_num  = Math.floor(Math.random() * ads.length); <br />  else <br />   ad_num = 0; <br />  return ad_num; <br /> } <br /> var ads = new adArray( <br /> <br /> "/ubbthreads/images/banners/bajbnr.jpg","http://www.bajema.com", <br /> "/ubbthreads/images/banners/melancholicban.jpg","http://melancholic.net", <br /> "/ubbthreads/images/banners/decayingmadness.gif","http://www.decayingmadness.com", <br /> "/ubbthreads/images/banners/vixshop.gif","http://www.vixenshop.com", <br /> "/ubbthreads/images/banners/giger.jpg","http://www.giger.com/mainflash.htm", <br /> "/ubbthreads/images/banners/projectpitchfork.jpg","http://www.pitchfork.de/page_en.php?", <br /> "/ubbthreads/images/happyhalloween.gif","http://emeraldforestseattle.com"); <br /> <br /> var ad_num = getAdNum(); <br /> document.write('&lt;CENTER&gt;&lt;TABLE CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=1 BORDER=0&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD ' <br /> +'ALIGN=CENTER&gt;'+'&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;TD&gt;&lt;A HREF="'+ads[ad_num].href+'"&gt;&lt;IMG SRC="'+ads[ad_num].src+'" ' <br /> +'WIDTH="468" HEIGHT="60" BORDER=0 name=js_ad&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/CENTER&gt;'); <br /> link_num = document.links.length-1; <br /> function rotateSponsor() { <br />  if (document.images) { <br />   ad_num = (ad_num+1)%ads.length; <br />   document.js_ad.src = ads[ad_num].src; <br />   document.links[link_num].href = ads[ad_num].href; <br />   setTimeout("rotateSponsor()",60000); <br />  } <br /> } <br /> setTimeout("rotateSponsor()",60000); <br /> // --&gt; <br /> &lt;/script&gt;

ChAoS_dup1 Code Monkey Registered: 11/15/02 Posts: 576 Loc: Great Northwest	So what do you think of the latter? Would it be usefull or just a matter of preference? _________________________ ChAoS Emerald Forest Gaming Servers Official STFU Thread

[/] <br /> <br />Well it's just not the best way to go about it even if you could get it running perfectly. More inefficient compared to doing it client-side which is designed for this kind of thing :-) <br /> <br />PS - I added a tweak to the Javascript so that it no longer always starts cycling on the 1st image after a refresh, but rather chooses one randomly now and then cycles in order from there. This helps to ensure better coverage of the group. _________________________ Twisty []http://www.mameworld.info/misc/nana2.gif[/] MAMEWorld
