random background image?
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Hi Chris,
How hard would it be to customize your theme to pick one picture at random from a subset of the files manager as the background image?
thanks!

Hi Chris,
Sorry for the delay.
Your explanation was clear... it just took me while to understand that
was returning a fileset ID and not the file set name itself.
Here the code I came up with, very much inspired by the indications given... Might be useful for others.
Thanks again for your help,
W.

$c->getAttribute('bg_image_fileset')

<script type="text/javascript">
$.backstretch("<?php
if ($c->getAttribute('bg_image_fileset'))
{
Loader::model('file_list');
Loader::model('file_set');
$fs = FileSet::getByID($c->getAttribute('bg_image_fileset'));
$fileList = new FileList();
$fileList->filterBySet($fs);
$fileList->filterByType(FileType::T_IMAGE);
$files = $fileList->get(100,0); //limit it to 100 pictures
$size = sizeof($files);
$random = rand(0, $size - 1);
$theFile = $files[$random];
echo $theFile->getRecentVersion()->getRelativePath();Viewing 15 lines of 19 lines. View entire code block.

Great job! Thanks for posting this here!
Hi I'm trying to insert as background image all images from a file set, I almost manage to do it, with the help of the previous script, my trouble is that I display all images from my fine manager not only my selected file set.
.
my file set is called "photo-fond", can you help me please?
Loader::model('file_list'); Loader::model('file_set'); $fs = FileSet::getByID($c->getAttribute('photo-fond')); var_dump ($fs); $fileList = new FileList(); $fileList->filterBySet($fs); $fileList->filterByType(FileType::T_IMAGE); $files = $fileList->get(100,0); //limit it to 100 pictures $result = count($files); $result =$result - 1; for ($i = 0; $i <= $result; $i++) { $theFile = $files[$i]; echo "<div><img src='".$theFile->getRecentVersion()->getRelativePath()."' /></div>";

Well, I think it's an issue with your file set handle. Pretty sure it can't have dashes in it - it has to have underscores for spaces, like photo_fond

Then, just have the code in the header.php file that looks for the bg_image attribute look for the bg_image_fileset attribute instead. But you'll have to add in some "randomize" code so it only pulls in one random image instead of all. This might be of some help:
