Second Random Image

[Vienix]

Hi,

I would like to have a second random image on the frontpage, and maybey on some other pages as well.

I copied the "random image block" but then I get the same image.

How can I create a second random image ?

thanks...

OK, here's my *guess* on how it should work...
In page_header.php replace

Code: [Select]

$random_image = (defined("SHOW_RANDOM_IMAGE") && SHOW_RANDOM_IMAGE == 0) ? "" : get_random_image();
$site_template->register_vars("random_image", $random_image);
unset($random_image);
with

Code: [Select]

$random_image = (defined("SHOW_RANDOM_IMAGE") && SHOW_RANDOM_IMAGE == 0) ? "" : get_random_image();
$random_image2 = (defined("SHOW_RANDOM_IMAGE") && SHOW_RANDOM_IMAGE == 0) ? "" : get_random_image();
$site_template->register_vars("random_image", $random_image);
$site_template->register_vars("random_image2", $random_image2);
unset($random_image);
unset($random_image2);

Now copy {if random_image} till {endif random_image} in your templates, paste it where you want it and then change random_image to random_image2 in the second instance.
Nope, I didn't test this, but if you want you can try. (I think it should work)

I thought so too !, But it didn't... get the same image result
from both functions, with and without a "2".

There is something in the code with "$random_image_cache"
maybe the image gets pulled from cache or something?

I really dont know what I am talking about here, so smiling is allowed

Yes indeed, I think there's a random image cache... I'll take a quick look at it, maybe I can throw smth. together.

Anyone get this to work yet?

This would be great.

Is there a way to define the number of random images on the main page.

That might even be better then messing with the code.


Thanks
