PHP Random Image Script - Page 2

Joe 90 · 26-02-2010, 21:28

well I'm setting it up for an 'unskilled' user so making things as simple as possible is best. The folder the images are taken from are all just photos of our team playing which makes them applicable to the majority of things posted to the site. I thought that was the best way to make things simple.

Presumably you're using a form to accept the articles, so sticking an image upload option on the end of that wouldn't add much complexity (for the user - it might for you).

If your team won something, you'd probably want to show a photo of them winning it, not something random.

PS - If you're going for the option of the user never wanting to take a photo then fair enough. Sounds rather limiting though.

Well I'm not creating the cms - as I say, I'm no programmer, just a designer with a little coding knowledge!
Currently not chosen the system to deploy but it's between MODx and Joomla - not too sure how either will handle images in this sense yet
