this is a simple .php file, and small "Style Vars" edit to make it so your background changes on your forum every time you refresh the page, using the popular extensions, such as .jpg, and .png.


rotate.php

put this file into your root directory.

Make sure to change the directory to the background images you want!


Changing the Style Var via doc_background
  1. Go to your admincp, click "Style Manager"
  2. select your favorite skin on the drop down menu select "Style Vars"
  3. in the Style Vars menu, search for "doc_background"
  4. Once there replace the Background Image field with url(location of your rotate.php) ex: url(phpfiles/rotate.php) then hit save.

And your finished!

No. you don't touch vbulletin.css; you can do it from the Style Vars Editor...

I cannot get this to work and I have no idea why. I can get any of my 50ish backgrounds to show on their own but once I add the script how I should it just shows no background. Anyone willing to check it out for me and see if I am doing something wrong? I am using the warrior theme.

This file was created from scratch... compare sources before posting idiotic posts like this, Thank you.


And for those who are still having issues, I will get my developer to answer your questions asap.

EDIT: tbh I forgot I released this.

Make sure rotate.php is in your ROOT directory, not your images directory.

Try placing rotate.php in your root vBulletin folder if it isn't already there.

Please provide the following information:
  • Location of rotate.php (full URL if possible)
  • Location of background images you wish to use (full URL if possible)
  • The second line of rotate.php. ($dir = ...)
  • The Background Image field of doc_background in Style Vars.

Also, the script has been slightly modified. I uploaded and pasted the wrong code but it shouldn't have caused any errors either way.
