Would be cool if the XT-Temas module could be modified to have the option of displaying a random theme with every page view. Maybe have a choice of which themes to display randomly out of installed themes?

Is it possible to create a random number in Smarty - and perhaps use this to ammend elements of a theme randomly?

Yep you can do that with Smarty.

In fact, you can randomize a list of words and Smarty will pick one randomly.

I use this technique in hyperTheme V2

You can see it in action on www.hyperpod.net (just refresh a few times and you will see the colors change.


Here is an example:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="margin-bottom:8px;">
    <
tr background="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/hyperTheme_08.jpg"><td class="blockTitle"><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/<{randomize values="red,blue,green,orange,purple"}>_pill.jpg" alt="" /><{$block.title}></td></tr>
    <
tr><td style="padding:8px;"><{$block.content}></td></tr>
</
table>


You would have to add the smarty plugin for randomizer into the smarty plugins directory and distribute that with your theme, which is easy to do.

you could do it with css and a rotator script.

I've done that before inside a theme. But I meant selecting a theme out of a list of installed themes.

I hear what you are saying, kinda like the random image block? Except each refresh would serve not only as a preview, but as a method of changing your themes.
