Random Images - skip Widths less than..

zloh

Hi..
I'm using a variant of the effervescence theme, and my problem is with the random image function "stretching" any images in portrait orientation/aspect ratio (which are thinner than the random banner)
- i don't want to make the tall-skinny images any bigger because they'll be too tall, and they're fine for normal use
- so is there a way to get a random function to just skip any images that aren't wide enough? (e.g. anything with a width less than 600px)

apologies if this is just obvious..

Thanks in advance for any advice!

You will have to add code to the theme to check the width of the image returned and get another if it is too narrow.

- i'm sure if i was a programmer, and not just a dabbler, this would only take a sec, and be very easy to do..
maybe someone else could give me a basic example of how this can be done?

anyway, thanks for your reply! ZP is easily the best php gallery currently in existance.

OK:

Where the code reads: ` <?php printHeadingImage(getRandomImages()); ?>` change it to
`<?php <br />
$image = getRandomImages();

while (!is_null($images) && !isLandscape($image)) { $image = getRandomImages(); }

printHeadingImage($image);

?>`

Warning: I have not tried this. Also, there may not be a landscape image.
