Random Banner Front Page? Check this out!

[Guest]

Okay so what I have been wanting is a flash program or contrib that will throw a random picture on a page, and banner, either or. Here are two sites that do exactly what I am talking about. CDC's forum will do that on the top. Hit refresh on these pages to see what I am talking about. Its not a swf file either. They are .jpg photos that will randomly display. Even better!

Thank you very much! I am sure this is a quick fix. Since I am a complete .php nubble, I think its something right in my face.

My test site url (ignore my sons face) That was a attempt to do it the flash way but I figured it would be nicer to have that part without flash for a universal site.

If you post the code (text) I can help.

 

The image does nothing for me...

I think I can read the image names.

 

They all start with "/includes/blah blah".

 

Take out the the first "/".

 

Like: "includes/blah blah".

[Guest]

Tried that with no luck. I even put just v01.jpg instead to make sure it would not appear that way. Also when I take out the asterisks in /* change the image name here */ It throws a error.

[germ]

There is no "includes" folder within the images folder.

[germ]

When you get the path to the image correct it will work.

[Guest]

Think this might have something to do with it not working?? This is a error from something else btw. It was there before I tried this

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function tep_draw_heading_top() in /home/inkedhum/public_html/iburnclothing.com/try1/index.php on line 336

[Guest]

and it worked!!

 

Thank you very very much!

[germ]

Much better!
