Create a direct to last image in category?

[rbl]

Hi!
One thing I would like to add to my member categories, is a direct link to the last image posted, bypassing the category index page.

Using the demo gallery as example, clicking in the "Food" category link, would automatically take you to the "Halloween pumpkin!" page, which is the last image uploaded (at the time I'm writing this) in the category.

I think a forward page might be the best, i.e.,
- you click the category link pointing to forward.php;
- the category ID is passed along the url;
- forward.php queries the db and gets the last image posted url;
- and finally automatically forwards the visitor there.

Is there a better and simpler way?
Any help is appreciated! =)

Thanks!

I may not be following you here... Are you just saying that you want the "Food" link to take you to the "Halloween pumpkin!" image as it would if you clicked on the "Halloween pumpkin!" link listed under the 'Last Upload' section? If so, that would just be a simple template modification.

You mean using the code in between the if condition="$cats['lastimageid']" tag in adv_gallery_categorybit_level1?
Didn't thought of that. Neat! =)

But how can I use it in a page? I should have explain it better in the first place but the idea is to create a user page (like mysite.tld/users/rbl/index.php) that displays (or redirects the visitor to) the last image posted by the user.
