Random Image--- can you make it pull pics from just 1 album

pluto459

I want to set up the random image to only pull from one album instead of from them all.
Is it possible and how do i do it

Thanks

paste it at the end of your zen/functions.php file before ?> and add <? random_image("your album title"); ?> to your template

`

function random_image($albumtitle){

$size = '_'.zp_conf('thumb_size').'_cw'.zp_conf('thumb_crop_width').'_ch'.zp_conf('thumb_crop_height');

$albums = mysql_query("select * from ".prefix('albums')." as albums where albums.title= '".$albumtitle."'");

while($a = mysql_fetch_array($albums)) {

$album_id = $a['id'];

$album = $a['folder'];

}

$image = mysql_query("select * from ".prefix('images')." as images where images.albumid = $album_id ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");

while($i = mysql_fetch_array($image)) {

$filename = $i['filename'];

$desc = $i['title'];

}

if (zp_conf('mod_rewrite') == false) {

echo '';

} else {

echo '';

}

echo '';

}

I'd like to show zenphoto random image on wordpress sidebar. how can I get it?

dobiho-

you can try the zenshow plugin for wordpress. It still exists at http://www.zenphoto.org/trac/wiki/ZenphotoPlugins (look for it at the attachments on the bottom of the page). It may still be available at http://www.ruicruz.com/index.php/zenshow/ with some instructions (last I checked)

It seems to work OK for me on my current wordpress and zenphoto implementation.

Hy, i tried setting up your code (zenphoto1.1.5) but i get an error showing up:

Fatal error:
Call to undefined function: zp_conf() in /homepages/.../zp-core/functions.php on line 1891

or is there another way around to get a rendom image from a specific album. curently i´m using this in my index.php:
`

<?php $randomImage = getRandomImages(); $randomImageURL = getURL($randomImage); print<br />
"getSizedImage('400')."' alt='".$randomImage->getTitle()."'/>"; ?>

`

that works fine, unless i need a random image from
specific album...

can somebody help?

That code you are trying to use is old, we don't use the variable $zp_conf anymore.

We have already a functions for that build in version 1.1.5. Take a look on the functions guide www.zenphoto.org/documentation-official

Ok, thanx - i replaced:

`

<?php $randomImage = getRandomImages(); $randomImageURL = getURL($randomImage); print<br />
"getSizedImage('400')."' alt='".$randomImage->getTitle()."'/>"; ?>

`

with

`

<?php $randomImage = getRandomImagesAlbum("Album1"); $randomImageURL = getURL($randomImage); print<br />
"getSizedImage('400')."' alt='".$randomImage->getTitle()."'/>"; ?>

`

works great!

With this code is it possible to put the album title and description below the image?

PierreSnugg

And what also would be interesting, is how to put a link on that to the image that´s shown by the random function... i tried "getRandomImageURL" etc. i don´t get it worky?

acrylian

`printRandomImages()` itself prints thumbnails with links...

PierreSnugg

but i just need the link function for the already shown image, i don´t use random thumbnails...
