Random images on details.html page?
« on: August 23, 2006, 07:25:29 AM »
I'm successfully using the Random Images MOD on my index page, but I also need random images displayed on the details page and postcard pages.  How can I do this?  I'm using 1.7.2.

use {random_image} or/and {random_cat_image} tags

Thank you, but this is not what I'm talking about.

I want a 4x5 table of random thumbnails... just like the Random Pictures MOD you created here:
http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=4259.msg17513#msg17513

But as I stated in that thread over a month ago, that MOD will NOT work properly on the details or postcards pages.  How can I make it work *without* also randomizing the main {image} image?

Thank you!

Hmmm. interesting thought!  I've been using it right before the Clickstream code.

Ooops.  I tried it, but now the main image just comes up as 404 image missing.  I will keep investigating.  Any ideas?

BTW... thanks MUCHO for your help so far!!!!!!   :D

Correction.  I didn't place the code high enough in the page.  Fixed that, and it seems to be working great now.  Thank you!
