Introduction

This mod was developed to enable display of a random image to replace the default fixed image on the home page of those templates that by default display only a single fixed image (templates 4, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 14). A separate mod cfg file is provided for each relevant template. The zip file contains two cfg file versions for template 4 as there were changes to the template4/index.php in TNG v10.0.1.

NOTE that template 7, by default, displays both a static and a random photo.

Developer
