I don't think you can do that, but you can go to the admin panel and all that, then click 'hide' so nobody sees the banner although it's there, and then click it back.... Sorry, that's the only 2-banner way you can do it.

Most sites that do this, they use php scripts. That would require us to have access to the databases here at forumotion, which I'm sure we will not get.

If you can setup a script on your own hosting site, that allows PHP, then you can do it, or even maybe find a site that allows it for free.

OK, i keep seeing people telling other people on the board that there is no script that you can use to have a random banner displayed every time the page is refreshed without having access to some off site source or script.

That is NOT true.

A simple method around this is by using a HTML Javascript. I wrote a script that will call up a picture of any size with a link to any place. You can add as many pictures and links that you want and they will be displayed randomly.

I am giving you all this script for FREE to use. IT WORKS ON FORUMOTION BOARDS.
If you use this script, KEEP IT EXACTLY AS-IS. Just follow the instructions.

**Place the code in your HTML page in the exact spot you would like it to show**

Just Copy and Paste:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
//
/* script by Kris J (greendesign@live.ca) (admin@punk101.net).
// Copyright 2008
// Leave ALL Comments in place
//
// www.greendesign.tk
//
// www.punk101.net
*/
/* To work you must change the "link" to reflect your destination URL
// and the "image" pointed to your online image address.
// DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE.
*/
//<![CDATA[
ads=[];n=0
ads[n++]=["link","image"];
ads[n++]=["link","image"];
ads[n++]=["link","image"];
num=Math.floor(Math.random()*ads.length);
document.write("<center><a href='"+ads[num][0]+"'><img src='"+ads[num][1]+"'/></a></center>");
//]]>
</script>

I hope this helps and solves everyones need for a simple yet useful random banner code.....

Maybe the admin's will share it with everyone?

so where is the code?

Should show now...

place it between code tags

Code:

[code]  script here[/code]

it's there..

It works I used template editing and placed it in overall header new

It dont refresh EVERY time but it does change. It seems to hang up on the same one after a few refreshes.

This is my first writing of the script.
It works fine on my website dude. Maybe it's because I have a paid for address?

ya man that is how I have it I eliminated the extra script for more than 3 images.

Like I said it does work.

I to have a paid address and everything else.

I will post this code on my help site as well if that is cool with you.

OK I have fixed the script in my original post for use.

I do have it working for more than 3 pics on my site. try different configs for more pics.

Ya you can post it.

just keep my comments intact

oh ya no doubt!

what's the address of your help site?

Never mind I see it...

Well, have you ever tried to animate a banner? I haven't actually, but you can request for one, I guess.

Animating a banner is easy.

If you didn't read my previous posts, I have put up a banner changing script that works on forumotion boards.

Just look up...

That is NOT true.

just to be clear, i never said there wasn't a script. I just said that most sites use a PHP script to access the images randomly, in which case, we cannot do that on forumotion. But a javascript can be done

this scripts too long for site description.

if i placed it in homepage mesage,it only show in main page.

i want it shows on top,above nav bar

Then you need template editing

template editing??
but i use phpbb3.

if i change to phpbb2,where i should edit it?

If your site is English the template editing is free (or it was)

You need version 2

Then the template editing is

Admin Panel
Display
Templates

You would place the above code in OVERALL HEADER_NEW

right after the

Code:

<head>

tag
