Rotator

As requested on the pivot forums, this snippet will show a random image out of an user-specified directory. Just unzip the files to your extensions/snippets/ folder, put the [ [rotator] ] tag somewhere and fill the images/rotator/ (by default) directory with images and that's it!

Have fun with it, any question, bug-reports, suggestions or wishes post them on the pivot forums.

Creation date: 7 February 2005

Content of zipped file:

• snippet_rotator.php
• readme_rotator.txt (this file)
  

Usage:

1. unpack this package in your extensions/snippets/ folder.

   • make sure the directory is readable for the webserver, CHMOD'ding it to 755 should work fine!

   • if you want to use a different named directory then set it with the first parameter.
   • if you want to use a directory outside of your images upload directory then enable the second parameter.
     

Description:
This tag will show an image (JPG or GIF) randomly picked out of an user specified directory.

Parameters:

• Parameter 1: If you don't want the default directory rotator/, then add your own named directory here (without the ending slash).
• Paramater 2: If you want to use a directory which is not inside your images upload dir then set the second parameter to '1'.
