Admin setting to alter $num_new_images

[skidpics]

in the index file, there is $num_new_images, which controls the number of new images on the home page, and if installed, the number of random images displayed.  How can we make this an admin setting under the settings tab?  I would figure it would be integrated into the 'image settings', something that would ask, how many images would you like to show on the main page?

This is admin setting ... is in ACP - > Setting page ... image cells ...

Hello!

No he meant this:

in index.php change from line 106 to 114:

$num_new_images = $config['image_cells'];
$howmany=9;
if ($_POST['setperpage']>=3)$howmany=$_POST['setperpage'];
$sql = "SELECT i.image_id, i.cat_id, i.user_id, i.image_name, i.image_description, i.image_keywords, i.image_date, i.image_active, i.image_media_file, i.image_thumb_file, i.image_download_url, i.image_allow_comments, i.image_comments, i.image_downloads, i.image_votes, i.image_rating, i.image_hits".$additional_sql.", c.cat_name".get_user_table_field(", u.", "user_name")."
        FROM (".IMAGES_TABLE." i,  ".CATEGORIES_TABLE." c)
        LEFT JOIN ".USERS_TABLE." u ON (".get_user_table_field("u.", "user_id")." = i.user_id)
        WHERE i.image_active = 1 AND c.cat_id = i.cat_id AND i.cat_id NOT IN (".get_auth_cat_sql("auth_viewcat", "NOTIN").")
        ORDER BY i.image_date DESC
        LIMIT $howmany";

In my honest optinion not being able to set this in the most recent version is a small bug.. should go to the core.. without $howmany hardcoded.

Best,
Freddy

Hi Freddy,

... it's not a bug ...
... but you are right with your opinion with the next version ...
