Custom Islands

Could someone shed some light on the use for this? It looks like I can put custom things inside them. What I would like to do is query our photo gallery and display a pic in there. However I am not sure how custom island works or even how it might not work for what I am doing.

Can you put an iframe in there or something?
Or can I just write some plain html in there like <img src="foo.jpg" alt="random photo" height="100" width="100" /> and expect it to render that for me or are there specific guidelines?How is it done?

Thanks



All I have is a piece of hard rock candy. But it's not for eatin'. It's just for lookin' through

Nevermind. It looks like I found it.

There seems to be a feature for turning them on and off too.

Yeah, you can pretty much put whatever code you want in there (within reason, and within proper dimensions). For instance, I have a custom island w/ links, and another with Google and Allposters code on mine, the latter uses an iframe.

Just be sure the code is placed AFTER $body = <<<EOF and BEFORE EOF;

I have a script I use which pulls up a random thumbnail 120px wide in one of my custom islands. PM me if you want and I can send the script to you. This is one of my favorite things about UBB is how easy it is to use the custom islands.

Well I do already have a script that extrapolates random pics from Coppermine to a board workin on SMF. It would be fairly trivial to port. But If I encounter any oddness implementing it I will send you a message.

Thank you

What I like about them is that you can add in PHP code AND standard HTML so you can in essance adapt scripts to utilize an custom insert.
