I still didn't think how to randomize it.

You are storing the user selection in the database.

so my guess is your $vboptions[zh_load_type] = "select <somefield> from database where .. "
instead of that select, if you can tell me the page where its being called from

what we can do is something like

$vboptions[zh_load_type] = rand(1,23); or if I want say effect 1,2,,4,6,7 , then any random selection among this.

I really don't understand what you are saying.I am not selecting anything.This hack uses vboptions and that's all.

Not working here on IE6.0.2.

Have added the header to headinclude, imported the product no problem - but nothing happens at all!?

Check if there is a <!-- CSS stylesheet --> comment in headinclde

I really like the hack, I do. But my members will kill me if I do this :D.

Uh why that?

Haha, they don't like nonsense like this :-).

I know it's a bit late, but I think I've figured out why some of the effects don't display. This hack was working fine on my previous (3.5) board - all 23 effects.

Now I have 3.6 I've installed the patch version and only 15 effects are available.

Comparing the XML's for the original with the patched version, the XML for the patch only contains the first 15 effects.

Any chance of an update on the patch version for 3.6 & custom templates?

Sure maybe later I will also add the random effect

Thanks Ziki, I'll look forward to that. The majority of members on my previous site did use IE, and I don't think that's changed much with my new forum. This is a really nice hack . . . it'd be even better with all your effects working though ;)

Thanks nice effect!
