Hi, can someone please help me?
I have created two albums. Let's say album A and B.
I like the Random Image feature but I only want to show the random images from album A. I do not want to show any images from album B in the random image block. Is there a way to config this?
Please let me know if this is do-able. If so, how?
Thanks!!

Mina,

In v0.97 (latest production release) this feature does not exist. But, in v1.00 which is getting very close to beta release, you can select which albums to include/exclude in the random image block.

I realize this doesn't help you now. Actually, I'm also about to put out v0.97a which has a couple of little bug fixes (nothing major), let me look and see how much code is involved in back porting this feature into the production code base. If it isn't that big of a deal, I may do that and you can have a solution in a couple of days instead of a few weeks for v1.00 to go through testing, etc.

Thanks!
Mark

Thanks so much for fast response Mark!! Yes, please take a look at the code and see if you can push to the production code. That would be GREAT!! Just let me know either way please.

I will be looking for your reply in a few days...

Thanks!!

Hi,

Thanks

Sure, the function name for the Random Image Block is phpblock_mg_randommedia

Let me know if you need any other info.

Thanks!
