What kind of random images are you trying to get. There is a few contrib for random images.

 

If its random new products I use this one http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri.../download,11860

 

If you are tryin to get a courasel type thing there is one called "spinner" here

Its for my homepage, which would show pictures of my products in my oscommerce

I would use the random new products it also has the buy now button feature to display on the front page as well.

 

If you chose this just click on the link about as it is to the same one that I use.

 

Hope this helps

That link is for featured products which is great if you want to pick specific products to show randomly on page loads.

 

This is a good random product one

along with http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3410 which Eric linked for download.

 

If you are trying to display content from osCommerce outside of osCommerce, like on a welcome page then http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1444 is a good contribution to use.

thanks wendy this contribution has got me really interested, however im really bad with coding ect...but my qustion is when it asks in the directions

INSTALLATION:

 

1. Just copy and paste the code to the top of the page you want to use the content in.

2. There must be no html or php output above the application_top.php include

(unless you use buffering, etc.), or you will get "headers already sent" errors.

3. Just echo your buffered content wherever you want it later in the page (wrap it in correctly sized tables, link the OSC stylesheet, etc.).

 

"1. Just copy and paste the code to the top of the page you want to use the content in."

Im assuming that this would be my index page correct? and if it is do i put this above where the html starts?
