Random pictures

[joecks]

Hi all,

Is it possible to add a section "random Images" on the index page, below or above the new pictures ? and a section "most popular" ???

I have that option in photopost pro, but this program is not working when safe mode is on   (shame for a $149 product !) , thats why is use the great free program 4images now.

Great Program!

Grtx,

Joecks

"random picture" is already there by default, the "most popular" you can find in the this forum, in mod's section (photo of the day)

[joecks]

I know there is a random picture, but i want to know if it is posible to ad random pictures on the index page below or above the new images, not just 1 random picture but as many as the new pictures..

same for the most popular pictures.

for a example see this featured site of photopost, http://www.spymac.com/gallery/

than you see what i mean.

Thanx

Carlo

if you mean showing random pics at any page, not inside 4images - this mod you also can find in mod's section of this forum

Now, in home.html template add {random_images}

[SLL]

ah.. that's what he wanted

V@no I should hire you to finish the rest of the coding for my web site so I can get back to photography !

[joecks]

Thank you very much v@no, it works... great!!!

Only one question left  

How do you put the title "random Images" above the random images.

I hope it is no stupid question.... .

I the code I posted, change:

Code: [Select]

$site_template->register_vars("random_images", $random_images);
unset($random_images);
to this:

Code: [Select]

$site_template->register_vars(array(
"random_images" => $random_images,
"lang_random_images" => $lang['random_images']
));
unset($random_images);

Then, open /lang/<yourlanguage>/main.php
and at the end of the file, just before ?> add this:

Code: [Select]

$lang['random_images'] = "Random Images";
now u can use this tag in the template: {lang_random_images}

[joecks]

@ V@no ,

You are the best !!!

Now it works great !!

Greetings

Carlo

[uny]

cool..that's what I want too, thanks V@no

[Bomba]

i used this code and it works just great
but there's something that i would like to change, if possible.

with this code it shows the same number of random images as the new images, but i would like to show only 6 random images.

my index shows 2 rows of new images (12 new images) and for the random images i just want 1 row (6 images)


thanks

on top of the code I posted (before/above the code), add this line:

Code: [Select]

$num_new_images = $config['image_cells'];

[Bomba]

thanks

that was just what i wanted
