Random images in the sidebar

[AndreaMarucci]

I've a gallery that uses imagevue and I'd like to put a random image in the sidebar so that each time the forum is loaded a new image appear. The images are in a single folder with many sub and subsub folders. Can anyone suggest a way to do that?

Is there a table with image records? Or is it just a directory? You can do a directory scan:

But a database table is ideal.

Either way custom programming is required.

It's just a directory Jake, thanks for your reply. Since I'm not a coder, I'm thinking about finding a script or something like that...
