Arg.. I can't find an easy way to rotate my logo on specific days (or a range of days) each year. Inspired by google, I have a bunch of holiday and special events logo's for my site. I want to be able to upload the logo's and use a script to specify when it should be shown in place of the regular logo. Anybody know of a php script that I could use or modify to use with php-nuke?

Sounds like you want to make a database table that stores the images then make yourself up a script to select the one you want on that day and show it.

Yeah, and the script basically runs an if statement.

$logo_url = " ( url of the logo of your site) "
$holiday => (value for today's date, don't know how to write that code off the top of my head

IF ($holiday != NULL){
$logo_url => $holiday;
}


The hardest part (for me at least)would be to create a simple admin panel that would allow me to easily add the url's to the database.

I went ahead and wrote out exactly what I want it to do.

Mission: To change a logo/image for specific holiday's or special events.

Requirements:
  1. To only have the code execute once a day, not every time the logo is required.
  2. To be able to change the logo/image on a specific date, a range of dates, a specific day (ex: first monday of March) and for only that day or x number of days after that.
  3. Built an admin interface for nuke, and one for any PHP/MySQL/cron enabled site.
  4. If no special image is defined, use a default image, defined by the admin interface.

Wishlist:
  • Be able to handle more than one logo rotation. <- Updated
  • Be able to upload the image from the admin interface.
  • Be able to provide a title for the image to use for the alt tag.
  • have it automatically detect the image dimesions.

I updated the wishlist to include the ability to have it rotate more than one set of images.. that's really the only way it will be worth all the trouble to create it. I also posted this on the phpbb website [ Register or login to view links on this board.] .
