Random background image? [RESOLVED]

byakko

Hello! I'm trying to use this smarty tag to make a randomized background image on default.master.tpl but for some reason using the {capture} tag gives me a Something has gone wrong page.

{capture assign='num'}{1|rand:3}{/capture}
    <div id="header" style="background-image: url(header_bg{$num}.jpg)">

There are jQuery and php codes for this too but it seemed too extra to try to incorporate when smarty already had this.

Any thoughts why the {capture} tag isn't working? Thanks

Actually it's not the {capture} tag but rather the {1|rand:3} tag. the "rand" function is the culprit here, and I'm not exactly sure why.
