Installation:

Instruction for users with installed Hercules:

NOTE:
You don't need to extract hercules.zip and replace your old data.txt and custom.php if you don't like to lose it stored information's. From new version of Hercules you need to upload only new rotator.php, display2_HTML.php and "datas" folder (empty). Hercules will work fine with your old preferences and data.txt.

If you like multiple rotators on your page just follow instruction for new users from point 1. and leave your old data and seting intact.

Instruction for new users:

Extract hercules.zip in root folder.
In a new subfolder "hercules" find nine files: display.php, display2.php, display_HTML.php, display2_HTML.php, custom.php, rotator.php, data.txt, read_me.htm, GNU License, folder images and folder datas (empty).

1. in datas folder create new txt file. Chose your name for this file e.g. secondrotator.txt and fill data (follow instruction below for data.txt)

2. Open display2.php and in line 4, 5, 6,7 and 8 set your preferences for data, width, height, rotation time and image displaying - random or by order.

With first definition you will tell to Hercules which file he must grab from datas folder. It is not necessary to put full name of data file (security reason) but be careful don't use two names with same part of string e.g.:

fifthrotator.txt and fourthrotator have same string in theirs name. If you use throt for data definition Hercules will always find same data file. We recommend longer definition but not full file name.

3. Save display2_HTML.php. Use iframe and point SRC on it e.g:

<IFRAME SRC="display2_HTML.php" SCROLLING="no" NAME="hercules" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" WIDTH="234" HEIGHT="60" FRAMEBORDER="no">
</IFRAME>

Don't forget set width and height on same dimension like in display2_HTML.php.

Instruction below is for data.txt users

Put this script below on your HTML (HTM) page.

<IFRAME SRC="display_HTML.php" SCROLLING="no" NAME="hercules" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" WIDTH="234" HEIGHT="60" FRAMEBORDER="no">
</IFRAME>

Next, open custom.php and customize Hercules Image Rotator according to your preferences. You will find additional instructions inside custom.php. Also it is necessary to put in upper iframe code the same dimensions for width and height like in custom.php.

data.txt customization

Data.txt is divided in three columns and separated with | (color is only for effective demarcation). The first column is for images PATH; the second is for the target URL, and the third column is for ALT.

First column for images PATH is most important. You don't need to define the other two if you don't want target URL and ALT. A few examples are given below:

/my_photo1.png
/images/my_photo2.jpg
/hercules/images/my_photo3.gif
/my_images/hercules/images/my_photo4.png

If you use hyperlinks for accessing images, don't start the first column with /. You need to type the full image URL. An example is below:

http://www.my_site.com/images/my_image108.gif

For target URL, you need to define the second column. A few examples are given below:

/images/my_photo1.gif|/index.php
/images/my_photo2.gif|/somefolder/somefile.php

If the target URL is a hyperlink, don't start the second column with /. An example is below:

/images/my_photo1.gif|http://www.mysite.com/index.php

Also, it is not necessary to define ALT column if you don't want ALT.

For ALT, you need to define the third column. Examples is below:

/images/photo1.gif|/somefolder/photos.php|My photos in 2005.|
/images/photo2.gif|http://www.anysite.com/photos.php|Your photos in 2005.|

For a better-looking ALT, it is preferable that the third column ends with |. Also if you want ALT without the target URL, simply leave the second column empty. An example is given below:

/images/photo1.gif||Phoenix free PHP scripts.|

NOTE:
1. If your images are larger or smaller than the dimensions that you have preset in custom.php, Hercules Image Rotator will produce disproportional images.
2. Optimize your images for faster image downloading.

That’s all, folks. Have fun!
