I could not get the random block to work with PostNuke. Could anyone advise me how to accomplish this? Thanks. Rolling Eyes

the random block offered here is not for postnuke use, it is for phpnuke only.

Is there a place I could find a block for PostNuke for this program. We absolutely love it and that would be the finishing touch of making it perfect. Thanks for the quick response by-the-way.

there is a random block file that gets distributed as part of the gallery code. i believe it is compatible w/ postnuke.

The way I did it was:

From the blocks admin module, Add a block of Core/PHP Script type with the entry:

include("http://www.yoursite.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=block-random.php");

Thats it! (of course it took me about two hours of web searching to figure that out)

Enjoy,

I have been using a nice little random image module called MultiImage available from http://noc.postnuke.com/projects/multiimage/ [postnuke.com] Of COURSE it could use more bells and whistles, but I like it and it works well. Very Happy

Oops - forgot to mention - I am using it with postNuke's latest release (crs the number.75??? gold???) and have used it successfully with previous releases. If all modules installed and worked as troublefree as this one, I would still be a brunette. Razz

This worked great for me, thanks!

I only have one problem though. My Gallery (v. 1.5.1) is embedded into PostNuke (v. 0.75b). I have all albums except for one set so that only logged-in users can view the photos. My guest viewable album only has one picture in it. This guest viewable album/photo is the only one that ever shows up in the random block, even if I'm logged in as a normal user or an admin. Is there any way I can allow it to pull thumbnails from any album? I don't mind if non-logged-in guests can view thumbnails from restricted albums, as long as that somehow doesn't give them full viewing access to the album when they click on it, but it's ok if guests cannot view thumbnails from restricted albums as long as logged-in users can view them.
