Hi Greg

Thanks for this reference. Have downloaded but no time yet to try it out.

I like the concept.

Usually one has to list each image that is to be rotated in a javascript and so adding an image means going to the source html and changing it. This way someone can just upload an image into a specified folder and it automatically slots into the rotation cycle.

Cheers

Chris

I also have a random image plugin..... I'll post it on the wiki... works well, just tell it what directory to look in

simply put the function.random_image.php into your plugins directory

I downloaded the random image plugin but the only thing is shows is a text (the path to the image and the name of the image) : e.g. uploads/images/imagename.jpg instead of the image itself.

Tried it with and without defining a directory (so, only {insert_image} and {insert_image dir="imagedir"}
Could anyone please help?
Thanks
Hans

[EDIT] Although I'm a total n00b (as far as php concerned

) I managed to get the script working by replacing

Code: Select all

return $dirn . "/" . $myimage;

around line 47

by

Code: Select all

echo "<img src=\"$dirn/$myimage\" alt=\"$myimage\" />";

I can't believe it myself, but it works!

if this is the one I wrote a long time ago, it was designed to be embedded inside of an tag, sorry for the confusion.
