Not often I post in this section so go easy on me..

I'm looking for a way ( if possible ) to automatically have a new random image displayed in a gallery each day, the image ideally will be randomnly picked from any of my galleries..

This is the gallery in question:

http://mog.smugmug.com/gallery/3584317 I currently have to manually change the HTML code to point at a new image...

Possible or just a daft idea ?????

    Mog & I were having this discussion earlier (in a customization thread) - I knew from this wiki entry http://smugmug.jot.com/WikiHome/Feeds/RandomPhotos how to get a random photo from a specific gallery, but I have no idea if you can extend the random photo generation to be across all galleries, or for a specific category.

    I'd also love to be able to generate a random photo for a category or subcategory - so if anyone knows the answer to Mog's question, do you also know how to extend it to the category/subcategory level?

    [thread=71808]This[/thread] might help. It requires that you have access to a web server to put the PHP code on, but it picks a random photo from all photos based on a keyword...
