Random cover image

[pascal]

Hi,
I think it would be great to have a choice to choose randomly a cover image for the homepage from all downloaded image or from a specified directory.

So the homepage picture will always change randomly.

But some people upload images which are not suitable for the home page, such as small images, gifs, adult pics etc etc..

I though about it also. That's why I suggested a directory folder. So we would be able to put the number of pics and the selected pics we wanted in it and then get the cover image choosen randomly from it.

You can do it on your own, simply populate a folder with a structure like this:

1.jpg
2.jpg
3.jpg
.
.
.
n.jpg

Then at home view do a rand between 1,n and pick that image.

unless he maybe meant that he wants homepage to random change pic automatically from images that are uploaded. But then if it's not suitable image then it should not be picked or that you can setup in admin panel path to images yourself can upload and then site from there will random change image up on refresh/re-visit.

He will have to create his own workaround for it. This is not essential.
