Random Quotes in Signature -- Changing text

[posey Gijs]

Thanks a lot, that worked. However, you forgot one closing bracket but fortunately I could figure that one out myself ^^.
I thougth I already tried changing the 10 to 2, but I guess not.

Correct code would be:

Code: Select all

    $split_array = explode("\n", $quotes);
    $count = (count($split_array);
    $count = ($count < 10) ? $count : 10;
    $rand_keys = array_rand($split_array, $count);

That's great, I've been wondering how to do this aswell. Much appreciated

[reality]

here is what I have

Code: Select all

<?php
$quotes = 'Text1
Text2';
$split_array = explode("\n", $quotes);
$count = (count($split_array);
$count = ($count < 10) ? $count : 10;
$rand_keys = array_rand($split_array, $count);

header("content-type: application/x-javascript");
echo "<!--\n
document.write('{$split_array[$rand_keys]}');\n
//-->";
?>


and nothing happens - no text at all. It showed me last of two lines when I had

Code: Select all

$rand_keys = array_rand($split_array, 1);

but then I realized that right number would be 2 and changed it, everything disappeared. I also tried universal solution as I mentioned before, but it didn't work.

I wonder what I might be doing wrong...

Okay, I can't seem to get this to work.

This is exactly what I have, and I get nothing.
EDIT: ( Actually it adds the "space" for the line, but nothing else. )

1_random_sig_quote.php placed in my root ( where my config.php is )

Code: Select all

<?php

$quotes = 'Random Text 01
Random Text 02
Random Text 03
Random Text 04
Random Text 05
Random Text 06';

$split_array = explode("\n", $quotes);
$count = (count($split_array);
$count = ($count < 10) ? $count : 10;
$rand_keys = array_rand($split_array, $count);

header("Content-type: application/x-javascript");
echo "<!--\n";
    //echo 'document.write("' . $split_array[rand_keys] . '");' . "\n";
    echo 'var Quote = new Array()' . "\n";
    foreach ($rand_keys as $i => $value)
    {
        echo 'Quote[' . $i . '] = \'' . $split_array[$rand_keys[$i]] . '\';' . "\n";
    }
    echo 'var Q = Quote.length;
    var whichQuote = Math.round(Math.random() * (Q - 1));
    function showQuote()
    {
        document.write(Quote[whichQuote]);
    }
    showQuote();' . "\n";
echo '-->';

?>

BBCode usage

Code: Select all

[random]{NUMBER}[/random]

HTML replacement

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="./path/to/scripts/{NUMBER}_random_sig_quote.php"></script>

In my signature

Code: Select all

[random]1[/random]

Thanks a lot !

I think it suits my sig here as well.

This code is working

Code: Select all

<?php
$quotes = 'Random Text 01
Random Text 02
Random Text 03
Random Text 04
Random Text 05
Random Text 06';
$split_array = explode("\n", $quotes);
$rand_keys = array_rand($split_array, 1);

header("content-type: application/x-javascript");
echo "<!--\n
document.write('{$split_array[$rand_keys]}');\n
//-->";

?>

I just used this one, and obviously, you do not have to show the BBCode to everyone on forum if you do not wish..

Code: Select all

Rotating Text BBcode

Author: Evan Holloway
Description: Prints a random text string (like a quote). This is often used in signatures. The number of strings goes in the tag option as an integer. The strings are seperated by underscore "_" in between the tags.


BBCode:

Code: Select all
    [rtxt={NUMBER}]{SIMPLETEXT}[/rtxt]


HTML:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var qttxta = "{SIMPLETEXT}";
    var qtxtsel = qttxta.split("_");
    var qtnums = Math.floor(Math.random()*{NUMBER});
    document.write(qtxtsel[qtnums]);
    </script>


Helpline:
    Random string rotator: [rtxt=number_of_strings]strings_seperated_by_bars[/rtxt]


Example:
    [rtxt=8]Quote 1_Quote 2_Quote 3_Quote 4_Quote 5_Quote 6_Quote 7_Quote 8[/rtxt]

This is a lot easier for some of the newer to PHPBB, just for info.

Is there a way to make this work for images? Am willing to host images for people on my website (there aren't a lot and I doubt many would use it, as few put time into multiple sigs, but I want it for myself )

[Honor]

NEVERMIND! I figured it out I now have both, random quotes, and random sigs on my forum


I do have a question though. Is it possible to adapt this to show certain sigs only in certain forums (I'm guessing with a string of "if" statements)? I know how to do it in HTML, sort of, but I don't know how to adapt it for things like the Arcade and the memberlist view document, and I am not entirely sure on the syntax of the forum view. I will put the work into it if someone could give me an example to get me started.
