Hey! Is it possible with some magic trickery on functions.php or with some plugin to allow enfold to pick a random image from a list to use as background for a specific color section located in the home page? The image would be picked at each reload of the page, so when the page is loaded the color section should have every time a different background.
If it isn’t possible it would be nice to have fullwidth slider or full screen slider to start from a random slide instead of starting always from slide numer 1. If that’s simpler to do…
Thanks!
March 24, 2020 at 4:39 pm #1196878Hey Leofiori,
Unfortunately, it would require quite some time and customization of the theme to achieve this, so I am sorry to tell you that this is not covered by our support. However, if it’s really important for you to get this done, you can always hire a freelancer to do the job for you :)
Best regards,
VictoriaMarch 24, 2020 at 8:30 pm #1196980Oh thanks, it’s not that urgent. I was just wondering if it was possible :)
March 24, 2020 at 9:04 pm #1197097i did that here on the page : page-id-34024
https://webers-testseite.de/bg-scheduling/
the color-section has a bg-image ( this is not so important – but style the outlook with that image first ( contain; cover; repeat etc. pp)
This color-section has a custom-class: bg-scheduled
you see that the bg image is then taken from a source folder.
But this is scheduled per day with a fixed image for each weekday – but you see how you can do it. Hope you can transfer this to a randomized order. – i will have a look too.function schedule_bg_image() { if(is_page(34024)){ ?> <script type="text/javascript"> var imglocation = "/wp-content/uploads/"; function ImageArray (n) { this.length = n; for (var i =1; i <= n; i++) { this[i] = ' ' } } image = new ImageArray(7); image[0] = 'o2-7.jpg'; // Sunday image[1] = 'o2-1.jpg'; // Monday image[2] = 'o2-2.jpg'; // Tuesday image[3] = 'o2-3.jpg'; // Wednesday image[4] = 'o2-4.jpg'; // Thursday image[5] = 'o2-5.jpg'; // Friday image[6] = 'o2-6.jpg'; // Saturday var currentdate = new Date(); var imagenumber = currentdate.getDay(); document.getElementById('av_section_1').style.backgroundImage = 'url(' + imglocation + image[imagenumber] + ')'; </script> <?php } } add_action( 'wp_footer', 'schedule_bg_image' );
March 24, 2020 at 9:37 pm #1197118this is the same example-page:
The color-section has got custom ID: randomized
and has an image array for that// Random BG-Image function randomize_bg_image() { if(is_page(34024)){ ?> <script type="text/javascript"> (function($){ var images = ['o2-7.jpg', 'o2-1.jpg', 'o2-2.jpg', 'o2-3.jpg', 'o2-4.jpg', 'o2-5.jpg', 'o2-6.jpg']; $('#randomized').css({ 'background-image': 'url(/wp-content/uploads/' + images[Math.floor(Math.random() * images.length)] + ')' }); })(jQuery); </script> <?php } } add_action( 'wp_footer', 'randomize_bg_image' );
March 25, 2020 at 7:39 am #1197593January 29, 2021 at 11:05 am #1276271@guenni007: can you elaborate on this a bit further? I don’t get it working.
I put the ‘Random BG-Image’ in functions.php (child theme).
I added the class ‘randomized’ to the section.
I uploaded the images to the folder.
But I’m still seeing the image I selected in the Advanced Layout Builder on the page.- This reply was modified 3 years, 9 months ago by byallmeans.
February 3, 2021 at 5:46 am #1277235Hi,
Thank you for the info.
I added the class ‘randomized’ to the section.
You have to use randomized as the ID of the section, not one of its class names. And make sure to adjust the name of the images to their actual names in the Media > Library.
Best regards,
IsmaelSeptember 28, 2021 at 5:36 pm #1322662Ive also tried this without success (randomised), was anyone able to get it working?
September 30, 2021 at 3:37 am #1322894Hi,
Did you edit the color section and use “randomized” in the Advanced > Developer Settings > Custom ID Attribute field? You should also place the image file names in this line.
var images = ['o2-7.jpg', 'o2-1.jpg', 'o2-2.jpg', 'o2-3.jpg', 'o2-4.jpg', 'o2-5.jpg', 'o2-6.jpg'];
Best regards,
IsmaelDecember 2, 2023 at 3:31 pm #1426960@antdesign01, I am refreshing this thread because I am trying to do the same, following the suggestion of the great @Guenni007.
I don’t know if you’ve been able to make it work at the end, I just wanted to highlight that you must also edit the following line:if(is_page(34024)){
replacing 34024 with the ID of your page. To know the ID of your page, open it in the browser, view the source code and then look for “page-id” string. You will find the ID you must use.

December 2, 2023 at 4:11 pm #1426962…and I am sorry to say that it is not working for me as well :-(
Here is the code I’ve customized (the ID of my page is the one below, I’ve double checked it).
function randomize_bg_image() { if(is_page(11318)){ ?> <script type="text/javascript"> (function($){ var images = ['img(1).jpg','img(2).jpg','img(3).jpg','img(4).jpg','img(5).jpg','img(6).jpg','img(7).jpg','img(8).jpg']; $('#randomized').css({ 'background-image': 'url(/wp-content/uploads/sfondimobile/' + images[Math.floor(Math.random() * images.length)] + ')' }); })(jQuery); </script> <?php } } add_action( 'wp_footer', 'randomize_bg_image' );
Images are here:

let me highlight that I’ve copied the images DIRECTLY TO THE FTP SITE, I did not use the Media Library… can this be the reason?#randomized is correctly set:
But when you open my website in mobile mode, the background is frozen to the original one:

@Guenni007, I hope you’ll find some time to give my some hints :)December 2, 2023 at 4:24 pm #1426963OK, I’ve found it.
DO NOT USE PARENTHESIS IN YOUR FILE NAMES! :-)
Great job @Guenni007, as usual!
THX
Bye,
A.-December 2, 2023 at 10:22 pm #1427004oh wow – long time ago
ps on that given example page there are both versions – on top : showing the bg-image of that weekday
on bottom randomized.by the way: here it is for the seasons:
function scheduling_per_season(){ if(is_page(39621)){ ?> <script> var currentTime = new Date(); var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1; var imglocation = "/wp-content/uploads/season-images/"; // put the images in this folder switch(true) { case (month >= 6 && month <= 8): var seasonImg = "summer.jpg"; var season = "summer"; break; case (month >= 9 && month <= 11): var seasonImg = "fall.jpg"; var season = "fall"; break; case (month == 12 || month == 1 || month == 2): var seasonImg = "winter.jpg"; var season = "winter"; break; default: var seasonImg = "spring.jpg"; var season = "spring"; } document.getElementById('changed_on_season').style.backgroundImage = 'url(' + imglocation + seasonImg + ')'; document.body.classList.add(season); document.getElementById('changed_on_season').getElementsByClassName("av-special-heading-tag")[0].textContent = "It is "+season+""; </script> <?php } } add_action('wp_footer', 'scheduling_per_season');
December 5, 2023 at 12:03 am #1427175Sure, I’ve used the one that changes it every time you open the page, exactly what I wanted. Thanks again!
