    Default Image Rotator in Blank Sidebox

    Hello,

    I've installed this module and everything is working fine. Just wondering if I could add a php code in for an image rotator because I have a lot images but don't really like the idea of having them all shown at once. If it's gonna help, i'll be using "Better Image Rotator" from A List Apart.

    Edit: Just tried it with the image rotator and it doesn't work.

    Since discussing this elsewhere, it occurs to me to ask, why not use Zen Cart banners, which already allow a random image to be displayed, without the need to integrate a 3rd party script?

    Well..I have five images in the blank sidebox and I want those to randomly change. And isn't Zen-Cart banners only allows 1 image per sidebox?

    Do you mean that you want to have the image change every few seconds rather than just when the page is refreshed?

    If on page refresh is sufficient then banner_box and banner_box2 would do the job. Just load one of them up with your five banners and it would choose one at random each time the page is refreshed.

    Also, am I getting confused, or didn't you have the rotator script working on your site before for changing heading banners?

    Ok, I think im not being clear here. I included an image of what my current blank sidebox looks at the moment. There are 5 images and I want each one to change every time a page is refreshed. The reason why I chose this particular image rotator is because of the possibility of having each image have it's own pool of images to take from (5 configuration file).

    The only problem is that it never works in this sidebox. And yes, I had this working in my header banner before but it never worked in a sidebox for some reason.
