Title: Exclude a folder for randome image section
Post by: that Dude on March 20, 2005, 07:27:53 PM

Is it possible to exclude a folder from the randome image section? Thanks!

Can someone please help me here?
I have six categories in my 4image gallery and one of them has graphic war pictures. Consequently, I don't want that specific category along with all its sub categories to be a part of random image display.
How can I disable that?

Thank you all for your help!

its not as easy as it might looks like...
try this
in includes/functions.php find:

Code: [Select]

      srand((float)microtime() * 1000000);
      $category_id = array_rand($random_image_cache); replace with:

Code: [Select]

      $notincat = array(1,2,3,4); //add as many categories IDs as u wish
      for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
      {
        srand((float)microtime() * 1000000);
        $category_id = array_rand($random_image_cache);
        if (!in_array($category_id, $notincat)) break;
        else $category_id = -1;
      }

your solution did not work for me. still have random pics from excluded categorys

i have tryed

Code: [Select]

$notincat = array(68);and

Code: [Select]

$notincat = array(68,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25);

Title: Exclude single images
Post by: fifinger on August 03, 2005, 01:09:28 AM

Hi,

is it possible at all to exclude single images from different categories, for example by specifying there ID's in the same way as above with the category ID's. I want to add a titel graphic as a first image in every category - with text to describe the category, but obviously don't want it to show up in the random images (since it's not an image)

Appreciate your help

I applied both variants (first suggestion, second suggestion, both together...) and random cat images are turnded on in constants.php, but categories that should not be shown in random images on mainpage still appear? I use 4images 1.7. Is there another way? Did I forget something?

includes/functions.php

Code: [Select]

  $random_image_cache = array();
  $cat_id_sql = get_auth_cat_sql("auth_viewcat", "NOTIN");
$cat_id_sql .= (($cat_id_sql) ? "," : "")."34,35,36,58,59,61";

Code: [Select]

if (SHOW_RANDOM_CAT_IMAGE) {
      $notincat = array(34,35,36,58,59,61); //add as many categories IDs as u wish
      for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
      {
        srand((float)microtime() * 1000000);
        $category_id = array_rand($random_image_cache);
        if (!in_array($category_id, $notincat)) break;
        else $category_id = -1;
      }
    }
    else {
      $category_id = 0;
    }
  }
includes/constants.php

Code: [Select]

// If you have a lot of images in your database,
// the random image function could make your programm slow.
// Try first to set "SHOW_RANDOM_CAT_IMAGE" to 0.
define('SHOW_RANDOM_IMAGE', 1);
define('SHOW_RANDOM_CAT_IMAGE', 1);
thanks

Hi

I also want to do this. I have a category of Religious wallpaper and I want to block them to show up in random.
But it’s not working. I mean I can still see the image in “random images”
Do I need to change anything?? (May be coz I just want to block one category)

Title: Re: Exclude a folder for randome image section
Post by: Fastian on April 12, 2006, 09:04:43 AM

This is becoming important for me now so I am asking again.
It’s not working on v1.7.1.  :(
(I can still see the images from this category under new images)

Before I thought it’s me be coz I am trying to exclude only one category but now I m pretty much sure that’s its not working. I tried it with two categories by exactly following the post.

Is there anything else I can do?? 
Please Help.

what? we were not discusing random NEW images on home page and you didnt even mention this!
and besides that, 4images does not randomize new images, so you must have installed a mod that randomize them, in that case you know the drill ;)

This is what I need also.  I want to exclude 2 categories and their subcategories.  I've applied the code to the function.php file and am still getting images from those categories.  How can I get this to work?  I am using 1.7.6.

Thank you to whomever can help!
