I have this section on a home page of the website i am designing and i want to have it so that it will show 1st picture of random products everytime the page is refreshed the link is http://www.srotechnology.com/index.php down the bottom you will see 3 images this is where i want them to show up.
How can i do this so that just the first image and the name of the product will show up when the page is loaded.
I dont care what section the product is from but i can only show the first image and if the product dosnt have an image then it wont show that product.
thanks

Thanks for posting!
There's a little bit of code you can add to your page that will make just one image appear. What you'll want to do first is just setup a default viewer page (copy all the code from your code generator and put it in a page called test.php). Once you have that page setup, post a copy of it for me and I'll show you where to put that bit of code.
From there, you can start copying it all into your actual template.
Thanks!

Here is the file for you that you asked for.
One thing is i want to be able to show the image side by side not below each other how do you that with the system.
I want to also do that with some other sites that i am building also.

Thanks for posting that file!
The code you are looking for here is quite simple :). All you need is the following:
<?php break; ?>
It goes right before the endforeach that displays your images. Have a look at the new copy of your test page I attached and you'll see it (line 61 if your editor lets you search by line number).
Let me know how you make out from there. Thanks!

Glad to hear things are moving along.
Getting the images appearing side by side is going to be more of a design thing than anything else. What I suggest is making a quick mockup of your page using plain HTML. That way, you'll have complete control over how it appears. Just hardcode the links to some images in there so you see what's going on. Once you have the mockup working exactly how you like, it will be much easier to work it into your template.
Basically though, I think you'll need to have all the images appear in a single table. Each image will be in its own table cell but they will all be in the same row.
Keep me up to date with how you are making out :).
