Randomizing the header_bg image

[atomickarma]

hi

I'm having issues setting the header_bg image to randomize.

I've tried both the css method and the src= method, with three different php random scripts, and non of them works.

Alt text shows, so I know I have the file paths correct. There's no instruction with any of the scripts regarding permissions (I have the php files in the templates/CUSTOM/images folder and the css files in the templates/CUSTOM/css file) so I wonder if this is the issue?

I wonder if anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks
Christian

If the alt text is showing, most likely the file paths are NOT correct.

Do you have a link?

I should add the image path is

http://www.fairytalemail.co.uk/inclu.../header_bg.jpg

and this sits in the space labelled "Featured Products"

Taking a brief look at your code, the img src is this:
http://www.fairytalemail.co.uk/inclu...der/rotate.php

but you want it to be this:
http://www.fairytalemail.co.uk/inclu.../header_bg.jpg

Not sure exactly why you're trying to use a php file as the src for an image (although it can be done). It would be much better if you called the php file which then either returned or echoed the src URL.

Regardless, your file path is definitely not what you want it to be.

I'm not sure where you're getting the

http://www.fairytalemail.co.uk/inclu...der/rotate.php

from, as I can't find that anywhere.

Not sure why I was rambling about the alt text, however, what I meant to say was that attempting to open

http://www.fairytalemail.co.uk/inclu...ader/image.php

gives me a 403 error - I expect that this is right, and the filepath is right. It's the same file in the src: includes/templates/santa/images/header/image.php - and the same location as http://www.fairytalemail.co.uk/inclu.../header_bg.jpg which of course opens.

That's why I suspected a permissions issue in the firstplace, as there seems to be no fauilt with the filepaths
