Hi, My client asked me to add a changing banner image, ie a diferent image changing automatically. I have searched around and im shure its quite simple but I haven't been able to figure it out yet, could anybody point me in the right direction?

Um, have you tried creating a scrapbook with your images? Once you create the scrapbook, you can place the scrapbook on whatever page of your site you want.

yeah, I have them in a scrapbook, the problem is I need them to change automatically every 5 seconds or so...

If your banner image area is set up to be edited, tryhttp://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/random-image/... in the marketplace.

Thanks to all for your replies. The add=on you mention is exactly what I need, but instead of changing every time someone opens the page I need it to change automatically while the user is on the page.. any ideas?
thanks again!

That's what the Slideshow block does. It's already included with concrete5.

Im sorry man, you are right. My first idea was to use the slideshow but as I remembered it, it had a image selector section which I do not want, but you are right, its perfect.
thanks so much,

I got it up and running, but the images link to the image file, is there a way to make them link to a specific URL?
thanks again!
