Image Randomiser need that will work within an oscommerce store

toyzonline · January 27, 2009

Hi There,

I may be missing something, however, I know you can get many scripts in various languages that randomise what images are shown when a page loads.

However i am after one that will do so within the header of an oscommerce store, that also carries different links with each image.

I have 3 graphical links within my header that promote various aspects of thre store, however as these are in the header they are the same regardless what page you are on or how many links you follow, so i want to randomise the images shown, with each image having its own link......

I know its can be done as standard by something as easy as Javascript but is there something that can be used within an oscommerce store?

Some ideas here: click me

Unfortunatley the suggested contribution is not addequate.

I have looked at 2 contributions:

Random Header Image

This contribution seems to focus on a radom entire header image. I have between 2 and 4 images that I want to randomise within header.php

Random Images On Any Page

This contribution has half the functionailty I need. The missing half is that I need each image to carry its own link to the related area.

I am happy to reduce the number of images I want to be randomised (not the number to choose from but the physical number of images). I have 4 seperate images in header.php and each one carries its own link. I would really like 2 of these images to have a set of images to be chosen from and randomly shown, but each images needs to be linked to a diferent catagory.

Hope I have explained this clearly (as my eyes are drooping shut at this early hour)

Rub My ducky devil is Cute* lol Well I'm interested in the same Contribution for my store if there's Any

Maybe more than you want.

Load as many images and categories as you want.

Randomizes, picks 4, and associates a category with each (won't use the same image or category more than once).

<?php

// load the images in the array here
 $img = array("image1.gif", "image2.gif", "image3.gif", "image4.gif", "image5.gif", "image6.gif", "image7.gif", "image8.gif");

// load the categories to be used here
 $lnk = array("cPath=1", "cPath=2", "cPath=3", "cPath=4", "cPath=5", "cPath=6", "cPath=7", "cPath=8");

// randomize the arrays
 shuffle($img);
 shuffle($lnk);

// pick 1st image and category
 $img1 = array_pop($img);
 $lnk1 = array_pop($lnk);
 echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT,$lnk1) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $img1) . '</a>';

// pick 2nd image and category
 $img2 = array_pop($img);
 $lnk2 = array_pop($lnk);
 echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT,$lnk2) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $img2) . '</a>';

// pick 3rd image and category
 $img3 = array_pop($img);
 $lnk3 = array_pop($lnk);
 echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT,$lnk3) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $img3) . '</a>';

// pick 4th image and category
 $img4 = array_pop($img);
 $lnk4 = array_pop($lnk);
 echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT,$lnk4) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $img4) . '</a>';
?>

?>

Ok this looks promising, not being fluent at all in php just a couple of Q's

1) How do i determine where these images are shown?

2) Can i simply drop 2 of the images and just have the 3 rotating?

3) Does Cpath 1 always coinside with images 1 etc?

Cheers

1) You're gonna have to post your code if you can't figure that out from what I posted

2) I thought we were talking about 4 images? :unsure:

3) Not if you don't want it that way.

What we have here is a failure to communicate...

:huh:

Hi,

In my second post i stated that I was willing to reduce from the 4 rotating images, and now have decided that would be best, sorry for the miscommunication.

I will post the code below, for reference the images i want to have rotated are m16 & m17

Just use javascript - easy as pie.

Hi Burt, i was not actually too sure if javascript would be usuable within the php code! Any way Germ has been kind enough to help me with some php script. Thanx for the input though

toyzonline · February 3, 2009

1) You're gonna have to post your code if you can't figure that out from what I posted

2) I thought we were talking about 4 images? :unsure:

3) Not if you don't want it that way.

What we have here is a failure to communicate...

:huh:

Is that what was needed to be posted?

Is 2 instead of 4 images cause an issue?

germ · February 4, 2009

Backup the file.

Then replace this line:

		<tr><td><a href=<?=tep_href_link('index.php','cPath=61')?>><img src=images/m16.gif width=248 height=105 border=0></a><a href=<?=tep_href_link('index.php','cPath=63')?>><img src=images/m17.gif width=251 height=105 height=105 border=0></a></td></tr>

With this code:

<?php

// load the images in the array here
 $img = array("image1.gif", "image2.gif", "image3.gif", "image4.gif", "image5.gif", "image6.gif", "image7.gif", "image8.gif");

// load the categories to be used here
 $lnk = array("cPath=1", "cPath=2", "cPath=3", "cPath=4", "cPath=5", "cPath=6", "cPath=7", "cPath=8");

// randomize the arrays
 shuffle($img);
 shuffle($lnk);

// pick 1st image and category
 $img1 = array_pop($img);
 $lnk1 = array_pop($lnk);

// pick 2nd image and category
 $img2 = array_pop($img);
 $lnk2 = array_pop($lnk);

 echo '<tr><td>' . "\n";
 echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $lnk1) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $img1,'','248','105','border=0') . '</a>' . "\n";
 echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $lnk2) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $img2,'','251','105','border=0') . '</a>' . "\n";
 echo '</td></tr>' . "\n";
?>

In the code I posted you must first change this line:

  $img = array("image1.gif", "image2.gif", "image3.gif", "image4.gif", "image5.gif", "image6.gif", "image7.gif", "image8.gif");

In that line put the names of the images you want the code to randomly select.

And also change this line:

  $lnk = array("cPath=1", "cPath=2", "cPath=3", "cPath=4", "cPath=5", "cPath=6", "cPath=7", "cPath=8");

Those are the categories you want to randomly associate with the images.

I think this is what you want.

I still feel like I'm being blindfolded and asked to put a puzzle together that has half the pieces missing...

:blink:

"Easy as pie" it already is so that is a bit of a red herring.

:blink:

Hi germ your help is very much appreciated my next question maybe the missing pieces to that jigsaw, otherwise its just my lack of knowledge in php that is causing the problem...lol

Those are the categories you want to randomly associate with the images.

What i want, maybe it is so that it will already be like this but your above comment suggests its not......

I would like image1 to have link to category1, image2 to have link to category2 and so on, but the images still loaded randomly so that there is a different image (and its link to its category) each time the page is loaded............

Again i am sorry for any confusion and any lack of knowledge i have

Replace this code:

		<tr><td><a href=<?=tep_href_link('index.php','cPath=61')?>><img src=images/m16.gif width=248 height=105 border=0></a><a href=<?=tep_href_link('index.php','cPath=63')?>><img src=images/m17.gif width=251 height=105 height=105 border=0></a></td></tr>

With this code:

<?php

// load the images in the array here
 $img = array("image1.gif", "image2.gif", "image3.gif", "image4.gif", "image5.gif", "image6.gif", "image7.gif", "image8.gif");

// randomize the array
 shuffle($img);

// pick 1st image
 $img1 = array_pop($img);

// pick 2nd image
 $img2 = array_pop($img);

 echo '<tr><td>' . "\n";
 echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=61') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $img1,'','248','105','border=0') . '</a>' . "\n";
 echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=63') . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $img2,'','251','105','border=0') . '</a>' . "\n";
 echo '</td></tr>' . "\n";
?>

Image Randomiser need that will work within an oscommerce store
