I would like to put a little icons on each block based on
a randomized number. Where sholud I write the code?
Do I put this randomized function in the theme.html or
in somewhere else? or should I use the smarty template to
generate the randomized number for me?
in the theme.html file
I would like to put a variable [in read]
$x.gif" width="150" height="80" alt="" />
Thanks for your help!
I just found this on the web. How can I use it?

Random
Small function to output a random number between two values.
(I didn't see this anywhere else so I thought I would make this function. But it's so simple that maybe it already exists somewhere else... Sorry in that case)
/*
* Smarty plugin
* -------------------------------------------------------------
* Type: function
* Name: random
* Purpose: output a random number between $varIn and $varOut:
* {random in=$varIn out=$varOut}
* If you want to assign the random number to a variable
* instead of displaying it, you must write:
* {random in=$varIn out=$varOut assign=yourVar}
* Where yourVar can be anything. Then you'll get
* $yourVar equal to a random number between $varIn and $varOut.
