Avatar changing on different pages

[Former Member]

As you may know,Peter and Stinky666 have avatars that change randomly. 
I was going to ask sooner but I never got to it.

As peter stated;

"My code isn't tidy enough last I looked at it, I would suggest asking in the request board, someone may post a version with detailed instructions on how to set one up."

So how exactly could I do this?  I wasn't sure if he meant through a template request or a plugin request. 

Also,would I have to put the link for each avatar I want it to switch around to? I am fine with that because I am getting the images I plan on using.

Originally, I was using a .php script that was open source from online, that I got several years ago. Since then, to try make it more random, Peter did make a few modifications to it (or gave me a new one, can't remember), so in case he did, I can't give you the script unless he doesn't mind.


All mine is, is a simple code, then you place your avatars in a folder (all in one folder), upload it to a host, and input your url in your avatar slot on here, PB. And voila.

Thanks for explaining. So we just have to wait for Peter's approval.

Or if I send him the script that I have to see if it is his or not. Then if it isn't, I can give you it and explain what to do. If it is his, then yeah he'd need to approve.

I'm pretty sure there's a website or 2, that allows you to register and gives you a rotating image for free. I can't remember the name of it, so unfortunately can't google it or anything. I'm sure someone knows which site I mean and can hopefully link to it.

Great because I was a little confused.

Here we go: www.random-image.net/
That's the one I was thinking of. It was really bugging me!

Or there is also this one: www.imgweave.com/

Try both to see which one is better, as in more customization, allows more and bigger images etc.

I have the coding for it but I don't know where I add the coding.


Never mind I figured it out.

Thanks Stinky666

For future reference in case other people are interested (should be the same as one I done for you Stinky666)...

<?php

$dir = "images/";
$images = scandir($dir);

$i = rand(2, sizeof($images) - 1);

header("Content-Type: image/png");

echo readfile($dir . $images[$i]);
exit();

?>
