Full sized background image that is randomized only on page refresh

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Is there an addon that will accomplish this... a full sized image for the page background that changes upon refresh only. It looks like there are a couple options to create rotating full-paged background slideshows in the addons Vegas & Dojo Supersized. Then, in the Backstretch addon it doesn't employ a slideshow but also doesn't appear to randomize either. Any thoughts?

There are no addons that have this feature.

However, I could create one for you within a couple days that does this. Private message me if interested, and let me know what your budget is.

Well I'm not sure whether any add-on do this or not. But here is a piece of code that might help you. 
<?php
Loader::model("file_set");
Loader::model('file_list');
$fs = FileSet::getByName('Your File Set Name');
$fl = new FileList();
$fl->filterBySet($fs);
$files = $fl->get();
$key = array_rand($files);
$files_value = $files[$key];
?>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image:url('<?php echo $files_value->getRelativePath() ?>');
background-position: 0 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

You need to put the code into your themes header.php file. Just put it before the closing head tag. Then go to dashboard -> File Manager and upload your preferred background images and put them all into a set. Then copy the file set name and replace it into the above code where it says "Your File Set Name".

That's it. I hope it will help you.
