Ditto perhaps, but am open to suggestions

Hi all

I´m contemplating the idea of show some random content in a specific area at my frontpage.

More specifically I would like to publish random content where I have a background image of websites or something I have made, and this random content has to have a transparent png on top (placed using z-index and absolute position) and this png contains some text in regards to the screenshot or display I want to random display.

How can I do this in the easiest way, is there already something out there that could be of use?

Hope you understand my question, otherwise please ask me to rephrase

Here is one approach: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,34509.msg209809.html#msg209809

Name Snippet: RandomPics and use [!RandomPics!]


Name Chunk: Pics


//Chunks -> http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,31550.msg191664.html#msg191664

Hi mrhaw

So to get this to work I have to create both a snippet and a chunk, and then set the snippet to "call" my specified chunk?

But if I would like to have som text displayed as mentioned earlier, how would I go about this using this code:
<img src="assets/images/foo.jpg" alt="">#
<img src="assets/images/foo2.jpg" alt="">#
<img src="assets/images/foo3.jpg" alt="">#
<img src="assets/images/foo4.jpg" alt="">#

´Cause all this does is getting images from a specified folder within my assets.
I would like to be able to add some text in some sort of dynamic way, so that I don´t have to put the text on each picture when it is saved in photoshop.

Hey it happens

I have done a search of random stuff and found this, which I think could do the job.

Anyway I´m gonna test this and what you posted.
