As of late I’ve spent more time using Sitecore PowerShell Extensions.Today I decided to change the wallpaper with a random image from the media library.

# Get all the first level items in the images folder. $items = Get-ChildItem -Path “master:\media library\images\“

Select an item at random.

$item = $items[(Get-Random -Maximum ($items.length - 1))] $url = [Sitecore.Resources.Media.MediaManager]::GetMediaUrl($item)

Get the user in need of a refreshed wallpaper.

$user = Get-User -Identity “sitecore\admin” -Authenticated $user.Profile.SetCustomProperty(“Wallpaper”, $url) $user.Profile.Save();

I hope this encourages you to spend a little more time in SPE.
