I am currently looking for a script similar to A List Apart Article Random Image Rotation. Unfortunately my clients host does not support PHP. I want to randomly rotate 3 images in the header section each time the page loads.
As it's only 3 images, I could turn to javascript, but then I would need to include that in every page. The header part of the site is an #include file, so I was thinking I wanted to do something like this.. Code:
I come from a PHP background. I'm modifying a client site that uses some critical ASP code in the backend, so for simple frontend stuff I need to use it too!
I need to make sure that certain images from a random rotation only appear on certain sections of the site licensing issues. Is there any way to easily grab the name of the file that's currently loaded? I want to run some form of regex on it to check for certain words.
Been searching for a way to simply have an image change every time a user refreshes the page or whenever the page is loaded. i have 2 pages i want to do this with - adventure articles page and the destinations articles page. i'll just refer to the destinations page and assume that if i (we) can get this to work then i can just copy the method to make it work on the adventure articles page.
the site is for a travel and adventure magazine we publish. the site is <http://collegianmag.com>. the page i've been working on isn't linked into the site yet, it is here: <http://collegianmag.com/art_dest.asp>
there are 8 gif's (that are are the same dimensions) that i want to use on this destinations page. i've learned that our host only supports ASP and .NET. so i found this info: <http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/042999-2.shtml> for an ASP Ad Rotator. it was the closest thing i could find - these aren't ads, they're just pictures. and i don't need them to carry links, alt tags or any kind of redirect. but i thought that i may be able to either delete those parts out of the code or just keep them in there and not worry about the fact that mousing over the images makes them look like they're linked.
it appeared simple enough, and after i modified the code for my files and folders, it almost worked. i have been checking my asp page in IE to see if it works, and some of the gif's are now showing up, but when you refresh, it's either displaying one of about 3 of the 8, or there also seems to be 1-2 gifs that are getting "red x'd" like they aren't loading up. yes, i've double, triple and quadruple checked to make sure all of the images are in their proper directory.
my code looks like: ....
I have done random image display with the help suggestion from this discussion form. now I want to provide link on each image. i.e. all the images display randomly, should have different link. is it possible? if yes, how?

I have the below ASP function to display a random image from a folder.
<%
Function RandomImage(strPath)
Randomize()
If Right(strPath, 1) <> Chr(47) Then strPath = strPath & Chr(47)
strPhysical = Server.MapPath(strPath)
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:Inetpubwwwrootpag-siteimages
andoms")
Set objFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in objFiles
strFile = LCase(objFile.Name)
strFiles = strFiles & strFile & vbTab
Next
strImages = Split(strFiles, vbTab)
If UBound(strImages) > 1 Then
RandomImage = strPath & strImages(Int(Rnd(1)*UBound(strImages)))
End If
End Function
%>
and this places the image in the HTML
<img name="Intropic" src="<%=RandomImage("images/randoms/")%>" width="211" height="158" alt="" />
but sometimes the script places a ._ before the image file name in the outputted HTML?
If I want a webpage to display a random image from about 20 images and not want the user's computer to load all 20 images and sacrafise the load time, can I use the following script? Is the following a good approach? Code:
<%
Const NUMBER_OF_IMAGES = 20
Randomize
Dim intImageNumber
intImageNumber = Int((NUMBER_OF_IMAGES * Rnd) + 1)
%>
<html><body>
<img
src= "images/header<%= intImageNumber %>.jpg"
width = "760"
height = "104"

</body></html>
i have some code that displays a random image... and i have some code that refreshes a page ever x seconds. great.
what i want to do is, have sort of like a banner rotating system... not links, just displaying random images every x seconds on a portion of my website... im sure someone has done this before, but im not sure how to go on from here.
I have a client that has a guestbook and they have been getting slammed with spam...
Would like it if someone could post a script to create one of those "input the letters you see here" scripts to prevent the spam bots from being able to post automatically....
I want to provide random image on my asp page. the image will display according to products searched by user.
e.g.
if user enter pharma machine in search box, in result page the banner of pharma company will display. i.e. the banner of manufaturer/exporter of pharma machine will display.
for this i have comapny info table in database
table: comapny_info
fields in comapny_info:
company_name
products (comapny products)
description (company_description)
banner (yes/no)
dusring registration, comapny has to specify whether it wants banner or not. so if there is yes in banner and prodcuts match the search string then banner will display.
this is according to the product seaarched by user.
any idea?
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can have a random product image shown on a page with information such as product info, price from the db?
View Replies View Relatedi want to display images in my search result page according to search text enetered by user. and i want more than one images display randomly.
View Replies View RelatedOn my index page I have got an area for one product to be displayed randomly from the
database. I have got it workign, but there is one problem i cant get my head around, here is the code so far:
' Initialize ASP RND() function
Randomize()
intRandomNumber = Int (1000*Rnd)+1
strsql = "SELECT TOP 1 art_Artist, art_Title, Rnd(" & -1 * (intRandomNumber) & "*cat_ID)" &_
"FROM eventDisplay " &_
"ORDER BY 3"
The code above isnt working and its when i try and draw out more that one value, as in art_Artist and art_Title.
It works fine if all I want is art_Artist, but as i said when i try to draw out more than one value the randomize function doesnt work.
How bout I go about creating a section on my site that displays a random image, lets say:
1) every time the page is refreshed
2) in a certain amount of mins or hrs the pic changes
3) daily, monthly and so on?
Would I need a database of some sort or can it just be done with some asp code?
This Random image script gets an image out of a folder so NO database is needed, just create a subfolder for your images and upload to your server ...
View Replies View RelatedAnyone with a good resource on how to make random banners appear? These banners are different in sizes... let's say:
Set 1: 1 banner 120 x 600 ( skyscraper size )
Set 2: 3 banners 88 x 31 ( button size )
Let's say the first time I load the page, Set 1 appears. When the page is reloaded or refreshed, Set 2 appears. All the banners have links to external sites, and they must be preserved. Can this be done without ASP coding at all, maybe just with JS?
However, what I want to do is include a request.querystring("ID"), so that IF an ID is defined, eg ID=3, , it will display the relevant (not random) information. I've tried this every way I can think and get type mismatches, etc etc. It's probably really simple but I can't see it.
<%
limit=3
redim link(limit)
redim image (limit)
link(1)="xxx"
image(1)="image1.jpg"
link(2)="xxx"
image(2)="image2.jpg"
link(3)="xxx"
image(3)="image3.jpg"
randomize
random=int(rnd*limit)+1
%>
<center>
<a href="<%= link(random) %>">
<img src="<%= image(random) %>" border="0"></a>
I just wanted to know whats the best way to generate 50 or say X amount of number at random without having to repeat any of the previous number...
so far I've the following:
[VBS]<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
<%
function RandomNumber()
dim theRandom
Randomize
'RandomNumber = Int((upperbound - lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + lowerbound)
theRandom= Int((99 - (0) + 1) * Rnd + (0))
if (theRandom<10) then theRandom = "0" & theRandom
RandomNumber = theRandom
end function
%>[/VBS]
and then I've this in the body of HTML doc: Code:
We have the need to have a random token (a 16 char alphanumeric field) to be used as the key for one of our SQL tables. I have created a random token generator, however after only 3 months in production, it appears that we had an instance where a token that already existed in the tables was created. There are 3810 records currently in the database so it isn't like there are billions of records there.
I contacted an old college buddy of mine who is a mathematician, and he claims, assuming that random really does mean random, that the chances of getting a duplicate token are 1 in 79.5 septillion (79,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
So my conclusion is that this was either a complete freak of nature occurance, or my random generator isn't really all that random. Here is the code behind how I am generating this: Code:
I am trying to generate a random number. I am using randomize and then rnd to return a decimal number between 100 and 120. This will give me a longitude. I am doing something similar to generate a latitude.
I created this on a page which refreshs every minute. I put these points into a map and they are showing up in groups of straight lines. Since rnd is time based will refreshing every 60 seconds return similar numbers?
I have a client who has had a ASP site with an Access database for several years. It stores information for the used cars on his lot. I have stored text in the database that points to the location of the image for each record. Each record will have a thumb image that is supposed to display in a list of vehicles available then the user can select an item from this list and a new page displays with the information and the regular size image. So far everything has worked fine exept for the display of the images which are stored in a separate directory called veh-photos. All I get are image place holders. I am using Dreamweaver 2004 and and Access 2000 for the database.
Following is the code to list vehicles: ....
1.I want to show a image file of type '.tif' in the browser window; for that I'm writting as ASP code page.
2.This '.tif' type image can be shown better with 'Kodak Image Control'.
3.To have this 'Kodak Image Control' on my code page I just add it's ..ocx to tool box and then drag it from 'Toolbox' to the page.
4.Now after dropping this control to the code it's type is getting changed to 'object' instead of type 'ImgEdit'(and I think this is the
reason I don't get correct result).
5.On one button's 'Onclick' event I'm calling a javascript function with which I'm setting a 'Path'and'Display' property of a control.
6.And want to show a image at location -- '..MFTDRCMF919685173-62.tif' which get shown in new browser window but could not get shown in that particular control. That means the path is correct, then what is the problem?
For better understanding of problem I'm pasting a following code which I've tried up till now......

I am creating a dynamic ASP VBScript page, which gets data from an Access database.
In the database, there is a field which holds a URL to an image. I can get the image to display fine, but where there is no file that matches the URL (i.e. a missing image) I want to display an alternative, default image (e.g. one that says "Awaiting Image"). The field is never blank, but the image file may not exist for all records in the database.
I think what I am trying to get to is the following:
If file exists (using URL from database to get location of image file) then
display image using the url from the database as the image source
else
display default image - hardcoded in program
endif
I have had a go and come up with the attached but I get an error with my if statement...
I can convert an image that is retrieved from a FileUpload object into a byte array and insert it into the database..
When the user signs-up i wish tosimply insert into the Picture (DB Type = Image) field to an image i already have saved in my images folder?
Anyone know of a way to do this? Tutorials, articles or advise??!

I'm working on a project where I'm suppose to upload a image to a server. The uploading works fine but when I want to change the image I uploaded to another image I can't get the filepath of the old image to show in my "filefiled"....is it possible to set a "value" where I can retrieve a filepath in a form if the input type is "file"?

I have a client asking me about random images on his site, basically I am using the following code:-
<%
RANDOMIZE
Response.write("<IMG SRC='../gfx/bg-img0" & INT((3)*RND()) & ".jpg'>")
%>
Agreed its not the best code, but he is finding that the same image could be repeated like three times in a run.
I have an include file which displays the image, and the random script is placed inside that include. So when he is going from page to page this is where the issue lies.
Can anyone help me out here, is it even possible to have a different image load each time, and not have them repeating.
I am using random number to be used as a unique identifir. Since random numbers are in decimals I am using going to convert it into an integer and since I need to append this Id into my URL, I am converting it into a string. SO my formula looks like this.
CStr(Int((Highest-Lowest+1)*Rnd+Lowest))
S0 now every time a new record is generated would this formula generate a unique number for unique identification in the table. I can't see how it can do it. Say A user is assigned a random number; then another user subscribes so how would the server determines that the random value assigned to next user is not already assigned to any other user.
In case if this can't work (a unique ID for every user) then I'll stick to this very same formula and after the random number is generated, I'll check this number with the table in the database and see whether it's been assigned already. If yes, I'll request another random value, if not then I'll go with it. Is this the right strategy?
is there sombody who can helpme witht he following, i am ''pretty new'' to
php and am looking for a script to show images randomly at a 10/ 15 seconds
interval. is there anybody who can help me with this or does know where to
find a good template script for this?
I'm afraid I have a technical problem here. Basically what happens is that I'm getting some random errors(like Type mismatch... etc) that shouldn't under normal circumstances occur. Then I connect to my server via remote desktop and Recycle the application pool on which my asp pages run. Errors then disappear
