it will work but only if it picks two images from two different categories. 4images caches one random image for each category.

That's mean my random image on the left side will displays same images at one time?! Erm...that is not good.

Btw, if I am using these codes...

Code: [Select]
$cat_in = array(2,7,8,11,12,15,16,18); //list of category ids // *** TO FILTER RANDOM IMAGES ***
...in index.php would be okay? Because I just need the random images display different images at a one time...Any ideas?
Love 4images! @--^-----

@V@no

Is it possible to mod this code: http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=4259.msg17513#msg17513 so that it will only randomize the images once in xx hours?

Addition: The reason i think this feature would be useful is because on large websites having lots of images and traffic, randomizing the images each time the page loads will have a huge performance degradation on database server and most shared hosting account will not be allowed to use so much server resources.

Thanks V@no. This is a great addition to this MOD.

I was looking for a different approach, is it possible to cache just the MySQL query results and not generate an individual home page for every new user.... instead just cache the query and write this results in a cache page and serve the same query results to the template engine/php for every user in that time frame.... so what i mean is there will be only one cache file for all users in that time frame....

thank you very much for looking into this.

Your method might conflict with user permissions. What if visitor not supposed to see the cached image?

Is it possible to show random images from subcategories too?

I have 3 main categories with lots of sub categories.

The main categories do not have any images.  So can the random images be shown from the sub categories?

try this in the code:
.....
 
WHERE i.image_active AND c.cat_id i.cat_id AND i.cat_id NOT IN (3,16) AND i.cat_id NOT IN (".get_auth_cat_sql("auth_viewcat").")
