sgBannerRotator plugin

The sgBannerRotator is a simple symfony plugin that rotates a banner image in a web page.

sgBannerRotator provides a helper to create the HTML tag to insert the image. With the help of a set of CSS classes the image is rotated in the page.

Installation & Usage

• Install the plugin

  $ symfony plugin:install sgBannerRotatorPlugin
  

• Enable Plugin (Only for Symfony 1.2 and above)

  Modify config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php

  public function setup()
    {
      // for compatibility / remove and enable only the plugins you want
      $this->enableAllPluginsExcept('sfDoctrinePlugin');
   
      // or
   
      $this->enablePlugins(array('sfPropelPlugin', 'sgBannerRotatorPlugin'));
      $this->disablePlugins(array('sfDoctrinePlugin'));
   
    }        

• Set up CSS

  The helper creates a div html tag where the image will be placed using the background-image css property. Add the following CSS classes to your CSS file to define the size of the banner and the banner images:

  /* defines the size of all the banners */
  .bannerHome {
      width: 926px;
      height: 289px;
  }
   
  /* define banners' location */
  .banner0 {
      background-image: url(/images/banner1.png);
  }
  .banner1 {
      background-image: url(/images/banner2.png);
  }
  .banner2 {
      background-image: url(/images/banner3.jpg);
  }

• Add helper to action template

  In your indexSuccess.php template add the following

  <?php use_helper( 'BannerRotator'); ?>
  <!-- HTML code -->
  <?php echo rotate_banner( $banners, array('class' => 'bannerHome') ) ?>
  <!-- more HTML code -->    

  In your actions.class.php define the $banners array with the list of urls where the banners should link to.

  public function executeIndex()
    {
          $this->banners = array(
          '/url1',
          '/url2',
          'http://www.symfony-project.org/',
          );        
    }

  That's it!
