I use random background images on many sites of mine.
It's one thing when they are defined at the beginning and included while setting up the site, but then they never change because the user does not know how to change them.
With all solutions I've seen so far it's done with a separate folder on the server where you grab the images with some PHP-Replacement tag.
But most of my users don't even want to know what ftp is - so I looked out for another solution.
Wouldn't it be nice, when the user can upload his images to the phpwcms file browser and then add the background images for his site from there?
Sometimes you add the background images not to the body tag in your layout, so you should be free to choose the html tag or css-class to add the background image to.
Sometimes different sections of a website require different background images, so I wanted flexibility here as well.
I created a new Replacement-Tag:
{RAND_IMG_FROM_FOLDER:ID of PHPWCMS Folder:CSS_CLASS or HTML tag:WxHxCROPxQUALITY ALT-Text}
Tag: {RAND_IMG_FROM_FOLDER:ID of PHPWCMS Folder:CSS_CLASS or HTML tag:WxHxCROPxQUALITY ALT-Text}
