[TYPO3] Wondering how to have a random image on my front page

[Scotty C]

Hi Patrick,

As requested, here's a quick tutorial for using
ck_fortune (I'll be using www.pegslegs.ca as an
example, and assume you're using an HTML template with
subpart labelled <!-- FOODPIC --> ):


SET UP IMAGE REPOSITORY PAGE
-----------------------------

- In your page tree view, create a page (you should
hide it also). This will be the storage repository for
the images. Makea note of the page ID - you'll need it
later (in this case, the ID is 103)
- Go to List view of that page, and click "Create New
Record"
- Click on "Fortune" from the list of new record types
- The next step is pretty self-explanatory - just
populate the section with the image name, caption,
etc.
- Click "Save & Close"


TYPOSCRIPT CONFIGURATION
--------------------------

- In the "Setup" section of your template, use the
following TypoScript:

# include the php-script for rotating images
includeLibs.ts_ckfortune =
EXT:ck_fortune/pi1/class.tx_ckfortune_pi1.php

page.19 = TEMPLATE
page.19 {
     template = FILE
     template.file = fileadmin/pegslegs/template.html
     # just load the section labelled ###DOCUMENT###
     workOnSubpart = DOCUMENT

     ### ROTATING IMAGES ###
     subparts.FOODPIC = USER_INT
     subparts.FOODPIC {
          userFunc = tx_ckfortune_pi1->main
          # random rotating
          20.time = rand
          # page id containing data
          20.datapid = 103
          # display image field
          20.10.field = image
          # type function: display an image
          20.10.type = IMAGE
       
     # end of foodpic
     }

# end of template
}



That's all there is to it! I hope you find this
extension to be as useful as it was for me. As always,
if you need clarification or more help, just let me
know.

Take care!
-Scott.
