"It's not their fight!"

Update: Still obsessed with Ocean + Ryan. Anyone surprised? Anyone? Bueller? ^_^ (Look at how cute Danny Ocean is omg. *squish*)

In light of my growing multi-fannishness, I'm wondering if someone could help me out - what's the code for doing multiple headers that change when you refresh the page? I'm using Flexible Squares, Style 2, and I have a paid account. I'd love to have all my favorite sets of boys gracing my journal in turn :) Thanks to anyone that can help me! Thanks very much to trinity_clare! :D *rubs hands together* Now to prepare several new headers... simple, but elegant. Hmmmm! *plots gleefully* :D

I'm watching O Brother Where Art Thou right now, which is a delightfully ridiculous movie that manages to also be kind of disturbing. I am enjoying it greatly! George Clooney's eyebrows are a thing of wonder - they're all... arched! And vaguely evil looking! He's such a cutie pie. And bizarrely his character is reminding me strongly of mister Danny Ocean, with the grand scale theivery and the needing to always look suave and the leading of a motley crew. I adore, I adore a lot :D

I went through this rotating header thing myself. :D

function Page::print_custom_head()
{
	var string[] header_image;
	var int header_index=0;

	$header_image[$header_index++] = "HEADER IMAGE HERE";
	$header_image[$header_index++] = "HEADER IMAGE HERE";

	var string header_url = $header_image[rand($header_index) - 1];
	
	"""
	<style type="text/css">	
.headerimage {
    background-image: url("$header_url"); /* Header image URL */
}

     </style>

     """;
} 

Repeat the "HEADER IMAGE HERE" line as many times as you need it.

Forgot to say, that goes in your theme layer. I hope you know what that is.

I do indeed. Thank you so much!!! ♥

Hmm, I tried to implement it and got no header at the top at all. I'm supposed to put the url where "HEADER IMAGE HERE" appears, right? Do I need to change the spot that says "Header image URL"? I'm a wee bit confused. Also, how do you control how far down the journal is? Do I need to combine this with my old coding?

(I'm sorry, I'm mostly trial and error when it comes to CSS, lol)

1. No, you don't need to change that bit.
2. Can you make your theme layer viewable (add layerinfo source_viewable = 1; right under the name and type lines at the top) and give me the link?

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Okay I added that line, but I'm not sure what link you mean - this one? http://www.livejournal.com/customize/advanced/layeredit.bml?id=8734346

[trinity_clare]

...Okay, at this point I'm no help anymore, so go post at s2flexisquares and say you're having issues with a rotating header and your theme layer is here: http://www.livejournal.com/customize/advanced/layerbrowse.bml?id=8734346. People over there are teh smart.

*laughs* Okay, thank you honey! I appreciate the help :D

(I am desperately in love with that icon. SHEP! *hearts*)

Yay I found a post about it, and figured it out! Whee! Your code was most of it but I think I needed a bit more? *hands* I'm clueless. But thank you so much, you're a doll! ♥

[trinity_clare]

You're welcome! I wish I could have just c/p'ed the code in my layout for you, but mine actually repeats inside the header box, which took AGES to figure out. I'm glad you've got yours working!
