[TESTING] Selectable Album Random Block

dari

All the same functions as the RandomBlock V2, but with the addition of the admin being able to select which albums he/she wants shown. You can grab a testing version of a selectable random block here:
http://www.nukedgallery.net/download-file-37.html

When you log into your nuke site as admin, you will be presented with a list of your albums. Check the ones you want included, and click the "Save" button. Once you've logged out as admin, you should see only photos from your chosen albums in the block. See the demo at the demo site [nukedgallery.net]. I selected to only allow photos from the "Christmas 2001" album to be chosen.

Note that when you add new albums, or new photos to existing albums, you will have to go through the admin interface and re-select the album so that the correct number of photos is stored in the cache.

Hey dari. Stupid question, but how do you select the ablums? Confused

I don't get prompted anywhere to select them. I KNOW I'm overlooking something dumb, but I just can't find it.

Thanks.

log into your nuke site as admin, the block should now look something like this:

Just click the ones you want Smile

you didn't specify your albums directory properly (it should NOT be inside your gallery installation directory). also, this block is not intended for use on PostNuke (re your other post on Newest Albums block).

i'm with him, i didnt get prompted either...thought it might have been becasue one (out of 2 total) of the albums was empty, so i uploaded a pic to it and still nothing

dari

look two posts up..it should appear in the block when you're logged into your site as the GOD admin.

Dari- I'm not seeing the option to select the albums either. Does it need to be the ACTUAL God account or just any admin?

dari

the check is this:

PHP: › <?php if(is_admin($admin)) ?>

and it may just eval to true if it's the GOD admin...is there another non-god admin check?

I don't see this either:

when I'm logged in as admin. Also I had to remove the floatval statement to fix errors.
