Rotating Pool of Images?

[JBc3]

Hi all - not sure if this has been covered - or at least specifically for what I'm asking. I searched and found a number of links, but in reading them none seemed to be exactly what I'm after.

If anything is please link or point me to it.

Basically - I want to have a pool of vendor images that are all available to see in my sidebar - but are changed up in their ordering each time a page is loaded or refreshed. An exact example is right here :: www.pro-touring.com (http://www.pro-touring.com) -- simply hit refresh a couple times and you'll see the images are all there, just randomized in order.

Any thoughts?
Thanks a lot!

I did not see anything rotate on that page, I tried the latest Firefox and Chrome with no cache.

Everything is possible, but you would use more server resources implementing that method unless it was carefully coded.

They don't "rotate" per say - the images simply switch positions, randomly. Try clicking on the forum and them a thread - you'll see the side bar images change locations randomly.

Should I simply do a straight non-changing list of images? Would that make more sense?

I thought you were referring to the CMS, now I see what you are getting at.

That should not be too hard to implement. I was checking to see if they were doing it dynamically (JavaScript). Looks to me as if they are creating the HTML randomized in PHP and outputting the HTML through a variable to the template. This can easily be handled through a plugin.

That's what it seems like to me as well. I actually used to have the code - I lost it a couple years back though when my old comp crashed.

Ignore my first post, I was referring to the CMS. :)
