Overview
Background Images
OVERVIEW
Background Image Magento extension deals with one of the highly influential and most important aspects of frontend features for viewers. All in one place, it allows you to update background images of your site automatically with the help of comprehensive rules. With the help of these rules you can randomly update images for specific product pages or a category page. To illustrate the importance of event specific images, let us take a common example of our life. We like to dress up more glamorously for events because if we don’t, nobody would be attracted from us. Similarly changing the look and style of your site helps keep it in perfect health to catch customers’ attraction.
Backend
Image Gallery:
Upload multiple images in this gallery which shall be applied dynamically to your site each time a user visits or refreshes it. You can select from the configuration if these images are to be applied randomly or by ascending/descending order. These images will be applied based on the pages, products or categories that you would have selected.
Rules for Products:
A fully optimized backend module comes packed with this extension for you to freely define when, where and how the images should appear at the frontend? It implements this by overriding Magento’s default promotional rules implementation which does not require any admiration. These are some of the most comprehensive set of rules that you can create on eCommerce platforms. These rules are specifically provided for individual products. To give you an example, you can chose certain image to be applied as a background image of any product that has “red” color or has an SKU of “123456” e.g.
Rules for Categories:
A separate section in the backend is provided to manage images for categories. Simply select the category from the category list provided and there you go.
Rules Priority and Timeframe:
This magento plugin allows you to define multiple rules with their respective priorities. Rules are applied based on their priority. Furthermore you can select the time frame for which this rule will be valid.
Configuration:
A very simple configuration section allows you to activate this module and select the sorting mechanism you would like such as randomly, ascending or descending etc.
Frontend:
Now that you have setup all the settings from backend, you customers will see this dynamic change as soon as they enter to your site. As mentioned above, you have the freedom of defining which page of your site should change its background image. This refreshing look keeps your customers happy and it conveys strong message to them about your efforts in regularly maintaining your site.
Features:
All in one place to manage your background images. You don’t have to go to product or category pages to configure anything.
Create your desired image gallery to apply random background images on your site
Define countless rules by using Magento’s promotional rules functionality overridden in this module to automatically update background images product pages
Create multiple rules and assign them with priorities.
Define validity time period for rules. Rules will automatically be deactivated once the time period expires
Your customers will see your site with a dynamic change as soon as they enter to your site. You have the freedom of defining which page of your site such as Home, About us, category or product page should change its background image with the help of Image rules. For example you can make a rule that if a product has “Red” color then change the background image of that product page. This refreshing look keeps your customers happy and it conveys strong message to them about your efforts in regularly maintaining your site.

Background Images Gallery:

You can set the sort order in this section for each image

Conditions:
These conditions will only be applied on products and not on categories. For categories see below section
We have overridden Magento’s catalog promotion rules functionality. Now you can easily create countless rules with great many conditions. You can also combine these conditions to make much stronger rule.
You can create multiple conditions by clicking on plus sign and similarly remove any by clicking on cross sign
The underlined text can be customized like if you click on True you will find a drop down appear on its place from where you can select other options
Once you click on plus sign to create new condition for this rule, you will find a drop down with available product attributes. Once you click on any attribute its corresponding options will appear so that you can apply further checks
Categories:
Select any category or subcategory on which this rule will be applied
Configuration :
Enable or disable this module from the drop down
Select the sorting mechanism. Selecting random will update images from gallery each time a page is refreshed. Otherwise images will be picked up based on ascending or descending sort id of images.

Great extension.
Does what it says.
For our projects we only need the backend interface, the frontend code they use is a bit messy, so we replaced it with our own code, but that was easily accomplished if you know how the Magento theming system works.
Also great support from these guys. We encountered a bug and within a day after reporting, they fixed it.
