Random Images

[Eric HRF]

I have the side-bar option on, and cannot find a setting for the number of Random Images to display. Is there any way to have more than 1 random image? I saw at viper alley that they have more than one.

Thank's,

Eric

Hello

You would open up the sidebar right close or left open template and edit the number in bold to how many images down you want

display_gallery("random", "", "", 1, 4, 1);

Sorry to be having difficulty with this, but I changed the numbers and it didn't work.

I suppose it is foolish to ask why there isn't a sidebar_rightopen.tmpl being as that is one I would have thought I would be using?

Thanks

if your using the right sidebar the code your looking for is in sidebar right close

Chuck,

I changed the line as described,
from
display_gallery("random", "", "", 1, 2, 1);
to
display_gallery("random", "", "", 1, 4, 1);

but no change on the board...

if ( $Globals['randompal'] == "yes" ) {
$pphold = $ppopen; $ppopen = $ppopenside;
$pphold2 = $ppclose; $ppclose = $ppcloseside;
display_gallery("random", "", "", 4, 1);
$ppopen = $pphold; $ppclose = $pphold2;
}

Ok, with help, we now have 4 images with

if ( $Globals['randompal'] == "yes" ) {
$pphold = $ppopen; $ppopen = $ppopenside;
$pphold2 = $ppclose; $ppclose = $ppcloseside;
display_gallery("random", "", "", 1, 4, 4);
$ppopen = $pphold; $ppclose = $pphold2;
}

now I am trying to get 6, but just changing to 6 doesn't make it.

$pphold = $ppopen; $ppopen = $ppopenside;
$pphold2 = $ppclose; $ppclose = $ppcloseside;
display_gallery("random", "", "", 6, 1);
$ppopen = $pphold; $ppclose = $pphold2;
}

just so's everyone else knows how I screwed up, I somehow got into the subfolder vb3advanced....

Oh well, I probably not the only one to do something stupid, again,...

Thanks!
