Random images or text

How can I set up a number of text boxes or images to display randomly on a page?

Can you say more about this idea? You can make an image appear at
random on your page (in a specific location) with the Random Image
Action, but your question is vague to me. What about these text boxes
or images would be random? Would their location vary, or would their
content vary?

On my home page I have a client testimonial. I would like that to change every few seconds. Similarly on other pages I would like an image to change in the same way.

I don’t have Random Image Action. Freeway 5.3. Where can I download it?

Thanks.

First of all, Random Image only randomizes once – at page load. If you want an image to keep changing over time while the page is open, then it won’t do what you need. This is something you could build with Protaculous, but it’s not in the basic Random Image Action.

As to the Action itself, it’s probably in the Softpress KnowledgeBase. I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been added to the ActionsForge yet. I thought it was a core Action, but I just went back and checked, and it’s not in the Freeway 5 core set.

Hmmm… I did try this. I just couldn’t get all the images to show together in the Actions window – only individually.

Did you try it in conjunction with Target Image

Nice implementation Graham - my only small criticism would be that it runs a tad too quick to read all the text comfortably.
