Sergei Chusmah	Thursday 16 August 2007 3:57:56 am Hi, i'm new to ez and I have a simple question... I have a template which overrides the standard pagelayout.tpl. The template has an image inserted in its header. I'd like the image to change randomly, so I need to read the image filename from an ini file randomly and pass the result to the template. I'd like to know where should I put the code that calculates then passes the var to the template. The code is not related to any module in particular, it must be executed in every page, so I don't know which php file should it be put into... Many thanks in advace!

Sergei Chusmah	Tuesday 28 August 2007 12:34:26 am Thanks for the info. My main problem is getting some content into the template, though... As the content belongs to the header template, which is displayed all pages, I don't know exactly where to put the code that generates it. I'll try adding a fetch function to one of my modules and call it using the template fetch function from the header template... i don't know if that is the right way... Thanks anyway!
