Header Image Rotation in Drupal

I'm having a hard time getting our header image to rotate randomly. I've tried a javascript I've used succesfully in the past, and I've tried the old "rotate.php" document trick. Alas, neither is succeding, and I know I've got the code I'm using placed and called correctlly.

Does anyone have a good random image rotation code they've used succesfully within Drupal?

We're using the Interlaced theme at the moment.

Thanks in Advance.

Interface for External DataBases

It's possible with in Drupal implement an "External Database Interface", like in DaDaBIK.org or PhpMyEdit.org? How?
Thanks Francisco

moving a "locked" menu item to the top link

Hi,

The "my account" menu item is locked.
I do not want it to appear in the user navigation menu. Instead I have created a link, somewhere in the top banner section, pointing it to the same path as "my account".

However, as the "my acount" menu item for me is locked, even going to the admin's page , I am not able to delete that from the view here.

Any clues as to how I would be able to do this. I do not see any redaing on the forums, or I have missed it.
Would appreciate if someone could point me to the corrcet references for the same.

Large space?

I just installed Drupal 5 on my site. There is a big space between the content and the header. This is the code on the page.tpl.php


...

<div id="content">

<?php if ($tabs): print '<div id="tabs-wrapper" class="clear-block">'; endif; ?>
<?php if ($tabs): print $tabs .'</div>'; endif; ?>

<?php if ($mission): print '<div id="mission">'. $mission .'</div>'; endif; ?>

<?php if ($title): print '<h2'. ($tabs ? ' class="with-tabs"' : '') .'>'. $title .'</h2>'; endif; ?>
<?php if (isset($tabs2)): print $tabs2; endif; ?>

<?php if ($help): print $help; endif; ?>
<?php if ($messages): print $messages; endif; ?>

<?php print $content ?>

<?php print $feed_icons ?>

</div>

...

Is this right? I do not know much PHP but I can sort of guess what does what.
The output is:

Using cron to load demo site DB

I just read node/59377. Pretty cool. But I'm looking for a bash script I could run via crontab to upload/overwrite a MySQL database for a demo Drupal installation.

I've seen demos Drupal installations like this on civicrm.org that clear themselves automatically every hour. I would like to install a site like this to be able to give potential Drupal users a taste for how certain Drupal modules work.

Separating an article into pages

Hi,
I'm starting a site for overclocking and other computer based tutorials. Alot of our tutorials are pretty long, and it would be nice to have an easy way to split articles up into pages. I actually prefer (gasp) the way Joomla handles pagination. Is there any easy way to do this in drupal? Or a module or something? If one does not exist, would it be possible to write a module that can do this, or is pagination embedded too deeply in drupal?
