Post Alternating Random Background Images 
 
I am using Rainbow Pearl and Black Pearl in my new forum but would like to alternate the background image in the header.  I have tried adapting what I have read to suit but without success.

Is this even possible?

Thank you

You should alter top_header.png in stylesheet.css with the dynamically generated image.

Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. #top_logo{  
  2.     border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;  
  3.     margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;  
  4.     padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;  
  5.     background: url('./images/top_header.png') repeat;  
  6.     height: 150px;  


You need a dynamic image and there are several ways for doing that.

Usually you should code a php files which generate the images and then use directly the PHP files (with correct headers) or use an htaccess rule to redirect a PNG call to the PHP files.

So in a nutshell, here is a demo for a dynamic PHP image (supposing you have the JPG files listed in the array):
Code: [Download] [Hide]
  1. <?php  
  2.  
  3. $img_array = array('bkg_01.jpg', 'bkg_02.jpg', 'bkg_03.jpg', 'bkg_04.jpg', 'bkg_05.jpg', 'bkg_06.jpg', 'bkg_07.jpg', 'bkg_08.jpg', 'bkg_09.jpg', 'bkg_10.jpg', 'bkg_11.jpg', 'bkg_12.jpg', 'bkg_13.jpg', 'bkg_14.jpg', 'bkg_15.jpg');  
  4.  
  5. $img_rnd = rand(0, sizeof($img_array) - 1);  
  6.  
  7. header('Content-type: image/jpg');  
  8. header('Content-Disposition: filename=' . $img_array[$img_rnd]);  
  9. readfile($img_array[$img_rnd]);  
  10.  
  11. ?> 


Suppose you call this PHP file my_bg.php then you can use this file directly in the CSS (or use htaccess to redirect that file using a JPG call instead).
