Browser triggered random image
Could someone please help me create a random image action? I thought I could use the randomimage in the "action" window, but this requires a "mouse enter" or "mouse click" etc. How do I get the images to simply change each time the page is refreshed?
GoLive help tells me to create a browser triggered action, but this is not an option in the action tab. ???

In this case you need to use the Random Image action as a HEAD action,
triggered by page load.
Place your base image on the page and name it. Then drop a head action
item from the Objects palette (watch the tooltips) onto the page; the
head section of the page will now spring open. With the icon selected
assign the Random Image action to it, set it to run onLoad and select
your base image.
That's it.

Random Image not displaying in Live View.
My page is at:
www.andrewjamesartist.co.uk
There's a random image script on the front page.
<img src="randomimages/rotate.php" alt="A Sample Image from the work of Andrew James" />
That's how it is placed in the page.
It shows in preview in browser and it's OK live but it doesn't show in LiveView.
I use a testing server set up with virtual hosts.

I am using a
PHP random image
script on a site in which I have 2 different images on each
templated page (random images throgh a site). The two images call
to 2 different folders with the random image script in them (to get
2 distinct images). Thus, 2 different random images. My issue is
that it seems that most browsers at some point do not call for a
new image but use what was there in the last page as it is the same
name:
http://ansano.com/asl/images/random/top/random_image.php
or
http://ansano.com/asl/images/random/bottom/random_image.php
Any idea of how to force a browser to call the PHP script? Or
how to change it so it works site wide?
Thanks!!I've now been sitting looking for this for a while. I don't seem to be able to get it to work.
Do I need to host to a folder first and then to the FTP server after?
I don't seen to be able to find the new page (TEST PAGE) in the folder I used to publish the site to before I went online. Tried searching for it in finder but I don't get any results on (TESTPAGEfiles).
I can see what you are talking bout I only publish to a local folder but I want to publish via the FTP option in iWeb.
Thank you very much for helping me -
Running gif animation and a random image output from an html button, HELP!!
Trying to click (onClick) an animated gif image of an on/off switch to start a second animation which is located on a different location on the web-page (a 7-frame animation of a generator with moving parts) immediately followed by a random image selection function placing an image in a 3rd location on the page (next to the generator image). The random images are supposed to look like the result of the generator animation---the item that “pops out” of the generator.
We thought the process to achieve this would be an “OnClick” on the on/off switch-animated-gif to start two javascript functions (generato animation function & random image function).
To further complicate matters, we are doing this website in iWeb. We’re using iWeb SEO Tool to add the javascript to the header and HTML snippet in iWeb to place the HTML code. Not sure we’re actually doing the snippet right though---is it supposed to relate to the images---or is it separate? When the gifs are place on the iweb page, they work in the browser upon page load---the “on-click” & the random image function are NOT working...so we know we’ve done something(s) wrong.
We’re thinking that we’re probably missing some code that describes where the 3 different image-spots are on the page (image #1 is the on/off switch gif, image#2 is the generator gif, image#3 is the generator output.png)....or just aren’t coding the string of functions correctly---or maybe our strategy for achieving this is just no correct (?).
Here is the code we have tried that didn’t work. We desperately need a solution quickly and are open to any/other ideas for how to accomplish this. THANKS YOU in advance for your help!!!:

I'm creating a small movie with a set of random images that all appear in the same spot (no horizontal or vertical movement). I want each image to appear onscreen for two seconds, then be replaced by another randomly-chosen image. There are 17 images in the set. Here is the script I'm using:
on enterFrame
channel=random(17)
_movie.delay(2*60)
on exitFrame
go to the Frame
end
This script works well. However, because the population is small - only 17 - what happens when I run the script is that a little too often it randomly chooses the same image once, twice, sometimes up to five times in a row, which gives the effect that the movie is either stuck or not working properly. I would like to find out how to modify the script so that on exitFrame it chooses randomly any of the other 16 images but not the current image. At first I thought if the script read random(16) or random(17-1) that might work, but it doesn't.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
DallasHi Sean,
This randomizing project of mine is becoming more complex than I first realized and I now have another question that I hope you might be able to help me with.
The project breaks down into class, category, group and member. There are 9 classes (and perhaps a possibility in the future that further classes could be added). The structure and naming convention within each class is identical down to the member level. For example, Cat. 1 of Class 2 and Cat 1 of Class 7 both have the same names. Group 3 of Cat. 1 of Class 2 and Group 3 of Cat 1 of Class 6 both have the same names. However, the members of these groups do not have the same names.
In each class there are 4 categories, each with a different name. Each category contains a number of groups (each group has a different name). Each group contains a number of members. Each member in categories 1 and 2 is a bitmap image. The total number of bitmap members in the project is 21.
To give a fictionalized example (this project is not about clothing, but I'm using it as an example):
Class 1 = shirts
Class 2 = hats
Class 3 = pants
Class 4 = socks
Class 5 = shoes
etc.
Category 1 = British
Category 2 = Japanese
Category 3 = Turkish
Category 4 = Brazilian
Group 1 = Cotton
Group 2 = Synthetic
Group 3 = Speed
Group 4 = Sound
and so forth.
In Class 1 (shirts) there are British, Japanese, Turkish and Brazilian shirts and these could be made of either cotton or synthetic. In addition, there are a variety of speeds and sounds from which to choose when displaying the shirts.
In my project:
Cat. 1 has 7 groups and each group varies in the number of members with either 7, 14 or 21 (but no other alternative to these numbers).
Cat. 2 has 13 groups and each group has 7 members.
Cat. 3 does not randomize images but lets me choose any one of 12 different speeds for randomization in half-second increments.
Cat. 4 does not randomize images but lets me choose any one of 6 different sounds. Whenever the randomized image changes, this triggers the sound. The sound is not randomized but is consistent once the choice for what KIND of sound has been made. In short: tick, tick,tick, or tock, tock, tock but not tick, tock. It is possible that in the future more sounds could be added.
Navigation should allow me to start with any of the four categories. For randomization to work, I must choose within either Cat. 1 or Cat. 2 (but not both) and I must make a choice of some sort within Cat. 3 (speed of randomization) while Cat. 4 is entirely optional (sound on or off, but not required to be on and, if it's to be on then choice for which kind of sound).
There are also an additional two buttons for sound on or off than run the length of the score within any class, meaning that while randomization is occuring anywhere within a class, I can choose to turn the sound on if it's currently off or off if it's currently on. Turning it on while randomization is taking place will also probably require a choice of which kind of sound (meaning a floating window I suppose) so as not to exit the frame where randomization is taking place.
Now for my question: should I create one massive behaviour script for all classes that includes a series of nested if/else statements for each category, group and member, or should I create 4 large behavior scripts, one for each category with if/else instructions for its groups and members, or should I script at the group level, which will result in 180 separate behaviour scripts for image randomization plus additional scripts for speed and sound?
Further, I understand how to apply at the group level the script you gave me earlier (and it works beautifully), but if you think it would be more efficient now to work at the category or class level, I'm not sure how to script the if/else statements. I'm assuming that in whichever of these solutions turns out to be best, it is applied to a single sprite which will serve to display the randomly-chosen image. Bear in mind that the script you gave me randomizes the image change every two seconds. Now I'm looking to have a choice of it changing within a range of once every half-second to once every 5 seconds (e.g. 0.5 sceonds, 1 second, 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, etc.).
An ancillary question: could this be done a different way? A friend suggested using subroutines but wasn't able to tell me how to do this because he doesn't know anything about Lingo. I was wondering whether the if/then syntax structure is Lingo's way of doing subroutines.
Your thoughts would be most welcome. If you think you can't help me with this, do you have any suggestions as to where I might turn for help (apart from the nuthouse at this point)?
Cheers,

Random images cramming my library
A ton of random images, apparently mostly from webpages I've browsed, show up in my iPhoto library. This is driving me crazy and making me angry. I have everything from pictures of Queen Elizabeth (figure that one out) to dozens of puppy pictures.
I don't want these, I never knowingly imported them, and I want to end their invasion into my library. Anyone got any ideas why they're showing up and how to stop them?This can happen when a foldr like your Library folder is inadvertently dropped on your iPhoto icon or Library icon and the image contents are then imported.
Fastest solution: Restore from your back up.
Otherwise: delete them.

PHP Random Images (Mr. Powers or other PHP Experts)
Hello everyone,
This is the script from David Power's book using arrays and the rand function (Disclosure).
Basically it changes the images randomly on browser load or refresh.
However, I am trying to add an additional, not sure what to call it, a string or another caption for each images.
Instead of this being a caption, it will be a link, so a link will appear under each caption that goes to another page
when it is clicked on for additional info about the image.
I tried adding another caption and adding a like to it but getting syntax error.
Thanks everyone!
Here is the code:
<?php
$images = array(
array('file' => 'image1',
'caption' => 'Caption 1'),
array('file' => 'image2',
'caption' => 'Caption 2'),
$i = rand(0, count($images)-1);
$selectedImage = "graphics/{$images[$i]['file']}.png";
$caption = $images[$i]['caption'];
?>
And here is where the images are written to the page:
<div id="stage">
<img src="<?php echo $selectedImage; ?>" alt="Random image" />
<p id="caption"><?php echo $caption; ?></p>
</div>
Thanks everyone!
WEThanks for the helpful link!
I found the solution to the problem it was very simple and I feel a little stupid asking the question in the first place but, that's how learning works.
We sometimes stumble upon knowledge.
The problem is I was adding the second string outside of the array.
Here is the right way:
array('file' => 'image1',
'caption' => 'Hello!',
'link1' => '<a href="http://www.msnbc.com">Read more</a>',<--Instead of putting the link here
link2' => '<a href="http://www.npr.org">Idea Center</a>'
<-- I was putting the link here out side the array and not properly ending the string.
$i = rand(0, count($images)-1);
$selectedImage = "graphics/{$images[$i]['file']}.png";
$caption = $images[$i]['caption'];
$link1 = $images[$i]['link1'];
$link2 = $images[$i]['link2'];
?>
Output here:
<div id="stage">
<img src="<?php echo $selectedImage; ?>" alt="Random image" />
<p><?php echo $caption; ?></p>
<?php echo $link1; ?>
<?php echo $link2; ?>
</div>

Hello everyone,
Im trying to use (for the first time) random images generated
by PHP. I
installed a Technorama extension and then followed thru the
steps to place a
random image in the page, but there is nothing there when I
browse the page.
Please forgive my ignorance, but I have never done any php
stuff before.
And yes, the files are uploaded to my server. (which does
have php enabled).
The practice page I am using is
www.fionahayward.com/interiordesign/practice.php
I have the effect working with javascript on this page
www.fionahayward.com/interiordesign but am trying to use php
incase people
have javascript turned off.
Maybe its something to do with how Ive set up Server
Behaviours or something
(only guessing)
Thanks for listening
Fiona1) create a php file named rotate.php in the folder where the
images are.
2) paste this code (between the [code ] and [/code]
markers... into that file and save it.
[code]
<?php
$folder = '.';
$extList = array();
$extList['gif'] = 'image/gif';
$extList['jpg'] = 'image/jpeg';
$extList['jpeg'] = 'image/jpeg';
$extList['png'] = 'image/png';
// --------------------- END CONFIGURATION
$img = null;
if (substr($folder,-1) != '/') {
$folder = $folder.'/';
if (isset($_GET['img'])) {
$imageInfo = pathinfo($_GET['img']);
if (
isset( $extList[ strtolower( $imageInfo['extension'] ) ] )
file_exists( $folder.$imageInfo['basename'] )
$img = $folder.$imageInfo['basename'];
} else {
$fileList = array();
$handle = opendir($folder);
while ( false !== ( $file = readdir($handle) ) ) {
$file_info = pathinfo($file);
if (
isset( $extList[ strtolower( $file_info['extension'] ) ] )
$fileList[] = $file;
closedir($handle);
if (count($fileList) > 0) {
$imageNumber = time() % count($fileList);
$img = $folder.$fileList[$imageNumber];
if ($img!=null) {
$imageInfo = pathinfo($img);
$contentType = 'Content-type: '.$extList[
$imageInfo['extension'] ];
header ($contentType);
readfile($img);
} else {
if ( function_exists('imagecreate') ) {
header ("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate (100, 100)
or die ("Cannot initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0,0,0);
imagestring ($im, 2, 5, 5, "IMAGE ERROR", $text_color);
imagepng ($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>
[/code]
4) in whichever file you want the random images to appear,
reference the image so:
src="path/to/that/image/folder/rotate.php"
I tend to use root-relative pathing, but that part is up to
you.
NOTE: I've found that random image references are quirky in
IE browsers - they seem to want the image width and height to
display images that are dynamically selected... I've used this
script to display images that are all the same size and groups that
aren't. When the image size is unknown, I use width:100%
height:100% in my css)
email me if you have any issues with using the script. I use
it a lot with WordPress sites, but it isn't a WP only solution.

Kaosweaver Random Images And CSS
I have searched all over and can't find an answer to this and have an e-mail in to the developer but figured I would ask here as well.
I am using Kaosweaver Advanced Random Images to rotate pics on a home page in the editable content area. The CSS style for the text in the content area is to line up on the left. When I insert the Kaosweaver command )even if I insert it with the cursor in the middle of the page the images line up on the left of the page. If I make a CSS rule that centers the text there is no way to apply it to the images I can tell.....except that if I go into the code and find the name of the image in the Kaosweaver code, highlight it and right click it lets me apply the CSS rule (even though I see no visible changes to the rule. Is this OK and will it end up causing problems on different browsers etc?
Is there another way to do it. I could see attaching a second style sheet just for that page with items centered as there will only be one other line of text on the page so that it won't matter if everything on that one page is centered but I don't want everything on all the pages centered.
Is there an easier way of accomplishing this. I was surprised in Googling this that noone else seems to have this problem....am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

hi everyone. i got a table with 4 images, when the browser refreshes all 4 images should change randomly. the first image works fine, just as i want it to, but the other 3 images just show the 'ghost' holding image. find my page here; http://www.chewingconcrete.com/randomimages/blank.html
any help would be great.Hi
You will have to use the maths function to generate a new array of your images every time.
To give you an idea of what is required, check the code at this page - http://javascript.internet.com/miscellaneous/random-image-rotator.html
you can modify the code as required.

When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, the remainder of the results page is blank, and the safe search button is inoperable. When I turn off private browsing and refresh the page, everything works again.
Anyone else having this problem?I have got the same behaviour after the last Safari Update to 5.1.3. It seems that Safari now handles some scripts in a new way. If you debug the Google Website, you will see, that there is some Javascript Error, that seems to prevent to write into local cache. After some searching I wasn't able to finde a solution for this problem, other then disabling Javascript while private browsing to prevent the script loading. You then are able to use Google with the old layout. The option to disable JavaScript can be found in the Menu "Developer", wich has to be enabled in Safari in the options first.
In my opinion this is a bug that is now occuring, because Apple changed something in private browsing and that has to be fixed by Google now, to run again. Or we will have to wait for 5.1.4, as you can read online Apple will change and bugfix the javascript engine in that version, perhaps this fixes the problem as well. I hope so!
If anyone is in the developer program perhaps you could test this with the beta of 5.1.4 and tell us if it works. -
Random images display strong yellow/green cast
system - 24" intel iMac, 3ghz, 2gb, 500bg hd, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS with 512MB memory, OS 10.5.4. Just purchased.
System runs fine, and I love the machine. Problem is random images, jpegs, raw, illustrator files, display an awful yellowish tint, both in the preview and when opened in PS or preview. Just random, sometimes a whole folder of images, sometimes just a few. I, of course tested some of the same images on another mac, and they viewed correctly. If I save a copy to the desktop, the icon looks correct, but when opened it looks like puke. Also happens in front row when displaying certain album covers and video trailer art.
Anyone else run into this?

After the last os x 10.7 update: how to view 'browse history' by image? And not only text?
That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account. -
Hi,
since I updated to Yosemite (but cannot assure it's related or started exactly that moment) I've been experienced a weird issue.
When I open a folder to navigate it, and it's set on "show items as icons", I see all the icons, for just less than a second, replaced by random images.
It's like if while the proper folder/file icon it's loading, that space is temporarily occupied by the impression of another one (or parts of it), coming from my computer. Sometimes is a photo, sometimes another folder icon not related, sometime is the icon of a software.
The picture then goes away (it stays less than a second) and the icon for the file/folder is then the appropriate one.
I have a Macbook Pro 15-inc, mid 2010.
Is it a known issue? If yes, how can I solve, if possible, this?

Many ThanksFirst off, I do not recommend looking at your time machine while it is running. You can tell if it is running by making sure its menubar icon is shown in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Time Machine. If the icon is moving, it is running. You can manually backup, which I recommend over automatic backup, as automatic backup can get in your way. Spotlight, if it is indexing (check the menu in the upper right that looks like a magnifying glass), will also slow matters down, and adding things you don't want Spotlight to search to your Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Spotlight -> Privacy pane will help. Note this affects areas you can search in Time Machine as well. If searching content of files is of little interest to you, I find Find Any File much quicker for finding by file name. Backup when you aren't doing anything else, as otherwise, you may find yourself backing up files that haven't had the opportunity to close.
Time Machine also works best if your destination drive is at least twice as capacious as your source drive. Otherwise it is spending a lot of time trying to find places for the archived files, and barely is more archival than a simple clone. -
Firefox and Safari browser not displaying images and text properly
Hello,
I am new to the support/discussion forum and previously ran Windows on my Macbook OS X 10.5.8. I switched over to the Mac OS X and am finding that the Safari and Firefox browser shows much images/text as 'squished' or not aligned properly. I suppose this is due to development and the cross browser formats are not compatible.
However, I would like to ask if there is some display error in the system preferences or perhaps even some coding I'm not looking at to correct or fix the appearance.
Can anyone please help me out? I appreciate it:)You are not using the latest Spry files
The latest version of the Adobe Spry Framework is 1.6.1, this is the same version that ships with Dreamweaver CS4. If you use Dreamweaver CS3 (uses Spry 1.4), its wise to upgrade your files to the latest version. This can easily be done using the Spry Updater that can be found here.
Then, if you have a look near the bottom of SpryMenuBarVertical.css you will see that the white background colour has been specified for IE as in
@media screen, projection
ul.MenuBarVertical li.MenuBarItemIE
display: inline;
f\loat: left;
background: #FFF;
Change the value to #CCC and it will have fixed that part of the problem.
When you upgrade to the later version of Spry, make sure to keep a copy of the CSS file as a reference to modifying the new CSS file.
