Rotating header images

[masterchief]

I would like to implement rotating header images via scripting .. how is this done with xenForo. I will be using imagerotator addon from longtail video, so I already have the code and everything that I need. I just need to know where to place it and can it be done via ACP or template modification. Please advise.

You can do it with this add-on: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/xenams.10046/

I already have source code to make it happen... I want to add directly to generated HTML, hopefully via custom HTML widget if it exists.

If you just need to insert your code into the HTML then you can edit this template:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> logo_block

This template contains the code for the header image.

8wayrun.com does this well, ask Jaxel how he does it.

where do I place this code on order to have them display in the page header?

<  img src="http://path_to_images/header_<?php echo(rand(1,5)); ?>.jpg"
width="image_width" height="image_height" alt="image_alt_text" />

It won't work like that.

One option is to use javascript in the templates. Here is an example:

You can put code like this into logo_block:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Templates -> logo_block

these random images push the logo image right or left based upon where script is placed. Is there a way to allow for overlapping of images?
