What is this and what does it do...

[Aussie Aviator]

In the admin panel under "Show Photo Options"

Display Featured Photos on this page?

I set it to yes and it made no difference. Can someone explain this please?

[Chuck S]

That switch determines if you get the latest most popular or random block photos displayed on the showphoto and showgallery pages. You saying you dont see a block if set to yes?

Now I see what it does. I just couldn't understand it. I thought it wasa block that said featured photos and you could select a photo to be displayed as a featured photo like what this site has on its portal page Digital Photography Forum : photozo :: Portal

Any chance that you know how they did that?

Thanks for the reply

I beleive that is based off this block but its the same thing a random photo etc from the gallery displayed in vbulletin.

but their forum is phpbb2. Will it still work with phpbb2 or 3?

[Chuck S]

Ah okay it looked like a vbportal site anyway you would need to modify that script then in some way to work with phpbb2 or 3

There are a few random photo blocks in the mod forum you could use as well. I dont use phpbb2 or 3 personally so I could not tell you how to modify their scripts.
