Not sure if I'm posting in the correct place here. I have just started using Drupal, having previously made my own Content Management Systems...luckily this has given me a good knowledge of PHP and the like.

I have made a theme for my site (drupal.panoramical.co.uk) and I want to have an image that randomly rotates each time. I'd nromally use the rand() command between two numbers and retrieve the appropriate image from the database...but I understand this sort of thing is not something you put in a theme. Would a module suit my needs better, if I were to make my own?

There's tons of examples on how to produce random images. Try googling "drupal random images".

There's no reason why the code for this can't go in your theme; just modify page.tpl.php to suit...

You could do it using Views / Views slideshow, that is what I am doing for the main image on http://blogtoit.millwoodonline.co.uk .
