Hello,
I'm searching for an option to display lets say 30 logo's in a random order. So every logo has to be displayed only once, but on a different spot each time the page is loaded.
This is ment for a sponsor page for a website for a customer of my. He want's to equals his sponsors by rearranging the logos so none of them is displayed at the same spot.
I've found many random image scripts, but they are about random displaying one photo out of a couple of photo's or it where scripts which displayed several photo's randomly; but some photo's could be the same and others wheren't even showing up.

The Gallery Module should be able to do this.
Put the sponsor images in directory uploads/images/Gallery/sponsors/ and call the images in your page with {Gallery action="showrandom" dir="sponsors" number="999"}

Is it that easy? Thanks!
Is it also possible to cut out all of the album elements such as 'next image' and kind of stuf, so it looks like a static page with just logo's.

Yes, it's very easy to create a new module tempate for that. You just cut out the parts you don't need.
Hint: click on the info icon beneath the template code field to see which smarty variables are at your service

If I delete the 'showrandom' part, it works fine...

ah, I get it
After I deleted the bmp the gallery kept complaining about that bmp file (which was already deleted), I had to make a different subfolder to fix this problem. Now it's working fine, thanks
