Random Images of one category

[Bomba]

hello i want to create a private category where only users with permission can submit their pics and i would like to have in the index.php a line of 6 random pics from that category. i would use this random pics above the last submited images on the index.php.

is this possible? it would be great. thanks

and also when people enter that category is it possible to show the usernames with the permission to submit the pics.

it would be something like this:

CATEGORY OF HONOUR:
featuring the users: username1; username2; username3; ... and this would work as links to their profile pages.

thanks

this is pretty simple to do:
for the category set upload permission to "private"
then greate a users group for that category.
then asign "honored" users to that group.

i guess i didn't explain myself
i know how to do that

1. what i want is to show on the index.php a line of 6 random images from that category.

2. and also i would like to put a text at the top of that category when people enter the category. for example:
"category name
 featuring the users: name1; name2; name3; ..." these names would be links to their profile pages

thanks

Maybe it would help if you change the {random_image} tag to the {random_cat_image} tag. You'll probably have to specify the category to display, but i wouldn't know where to do that. sorry

Why don't you just wright it in the description of that catogory, yourself?

[Bomba]

i don't want to write it at the description. i want to write it at categories.php and i wanna know how to do the changes only for that specific category.

cause if i write a description in categories php it will show on every single category page.

anyway, thanks for trying to help

Code: [Select]

this is pretty simple to do:
for the category set upload permission to "private"
then greate a users group for that category.
then asign "honored" users to that group.

and how can i show in the index.php a line of 6 random thumbnails from that category?

and how can i show in the index.php a line of 6 random thumbnails from that category?

it was actualy simplier than I thought  
in index.php find:

Code: [Select]

       WHERE i.image_active = 1 AND c.cat_id = i.cat_id AND i.cat_id IN (".get_auth_cat_sql("auth_viewcat").")
change it to:

Code: [Select]

       WHERE i.image_active = 1 AND c.cat_id = i.cat_id AND i.cat_id = XX
Where XX at the end is number of your category

[Bomba]

but what exactly will this do?
i don't want to delete the last submited images or the current random image code
i just want to add a line of 6 random images from that specific category at the top of my index.php, where it will be above the last submited images.

sorry for my lack of knowledge
thanks

Hi, is the code behind the broken Link 'that code' still available in the forum? I didn't found something by searching.
I also like to create random images from one specified categorie.
