Joomla: How to show a different image on every page

Question

I'm new to Joomla, but I figured out how to set it up and create my first joomla template which only includes the content area and a top menu.

Now I want to display a different images on every page. I do not know how to do it in Joomla, because as far as I know I can only write articles (with images in them, which is not what I want) and include them in the Menu Items as Layout: Article.

Can I somehow create my own parameters for the Layout: Article and use them in my template? The cms user should be able to decide which image to show on each "page".

Answer 1

You can find a lots of modules at http://extensions.joomla.org/ which you can install from your administrator and enable it on a position to show different images on different pages. check this page http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/photos-a-images/images-rotators

Answer 2

Header Image

This allows you to place your images in a folder and name them according to the page. You can match to articleid, menuid, category, section, or even show a rotating random image.

You would then just need to publish the module in the correct position.

Answer 3

You can do it by means of a module. You can define for which menu position each module is visible. You can put any article inside a module with a Article as Module extension
