New plugin - ImageRotator

[mpdaddy]

Hello Everyone

This is a new mod, that I have been working on for a while now. It is a work in progress and I have further plans to make it better, but it works great as-is. Sound familiar?

It works on IndexU 1.3, but does not support earlier versions of IndexU. So, do not install it if you have 1.2 or 1.2.1. It will NOT display properly.

Here is what it does:

Use it as a banner rotator, use it as a image rotator, whatever you want. The only field that is required is the image, all others are optional. Upload multiple banners and use it to display them on any page, anywhere you want. You can add, edit, and delete the images you upload all from the IndexU admin panel.

You MUST have the PluginHooks plugin to use this plugin. It will not function without it. It will simply de-activate itself if you try to enable it without first installing the PluginHooks plugin.

To install:

1. Upload the files to your plugin directory and activate the plugin via the admin panel.
2. Add at least 1 (one) image via the "Image Rotator" menu.
3. Add at least 1 (one) hook for which to display the image via the "Plugin Hooks" menu.
4. View the images to make sure they are displaying correctly.

It does not use groups, so you cannot display more than 1 image per page. This will come in later releases.

Make sure the image size is compatible with the location you are displaying it. If you try to put a wide banner in the left or right column, it will screw up your design.

I have plans to impliment groups and several other features to this plugin, but this is a good start and should work fine for most users.

If you have ideas on how to make this plugin more useful feel free to contact me.

I will have this mod on my Script Dragon site within the next few days. It is also attached to this post.

My contact info is below in my signature.

As always, if you have any trouble with this plugin, post here, at my my Script Dragon site, or PM me.

Regards

I forgot to mention one important thing in the above post.

echo@ came up with the idea for this plugin. He asked me for help and I kind of took over the project. In the end, I don't know if any of his code remains, but he deserves credit for this plugin.
