You can use thumbnailincluder for this.
Works also with v5.1

hey Toney,
thanks for the link, I have a question though, I am unable to figure out how to enable random/featured photos display on my site portal.
I am using Virtuanews News Script as portal on www.techarena.in (based on php/mysql)

our forums (vbulletin) portal (virtuanews) and gallery (photopost) share the same database, with different table prefix.

can you kindly guide me how to proceed further ?
I have copied the script and uploaded to my portal directory, How do i execute/display photos ?

Virtuanews is a template based system.

Thanks

I am sure, many here will be interested to get this addon working for them.

Thanks.

why dont you just use a php include on your news page

<?
include( "some/path/to/inc_features.phpl" );

echo "$photopostfeature";

?>

You need to make it a php page or a phtml page to parse php code

this aint a proper solution yet, I am forced to give database details (username/password) to another site...

Chuck S · July 15th, 2005, 11:55 AM

If you want to show this on another site yes you need to give database settings

However why not create a user/password that only has READ access to the database to use for a modified script your doing. This would ensure security and how most everyone does things like this

this seems like a decent idea to me, although I have tried my best to display featured photos on our site homepages (non-vbulletin .php pages) but i am still unable.....

As I previously stated you can only display php code in a php file or a phtml file if the server allows php to be parsed in a phtml file

There are many tutorials on the web on trying to understand and master how to parse php code in an html page

Chuck S · August 10th, 2005, 01:42 PM

There is a phtml page I quickly made up

http://www.reeftalk.com/test.phtml

You will need to comment out this inc_features.php as your not using this with Vbulletin

//if ( $ViewPerm[$pcat] == 1 ) continue;
