Mods & Plugins (Requests & Discussions) / adding last 5 new thumbs from 4images gallery to a MT Blog
« on: February 20, 2003, 02:04:25 AM »
I'd like any advice anyone has to give about using the following as a php include to cause a Movable Type blog to show the last 5 new thumbs from a 4images gallery.
I installed it on my index.php blog page with an include and it showed the last 5 images wonderfully... but when i added a new photo to the gallery it didn't show up... I can't figure out why.
Any ideas?
