That fixed me up and it is running really quite nicely for me now. This even after I could not get the previous block versions to work very well and/or work at all.

Thanx slackbladder for your helping the others has helped me also.

I've been using Random Block v2 and it was working fine. I copied over the parameters to the Selectable Random Block and then made all the changes suggested in the thread and i got:

Code: › Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/******/blocks/NG-RandomPhotoSelectTest_functions.php on line 101

Warning: Wrong parameter count for fgets() in /home/httpd/******/blocks/block-NG-RandomPhotoSelectTest.php on line 88

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: createadminlist() in /home/httpd/******/blocks/block-NG-RandomPhotoSelectTest.php on line 111

Uh, not sure went wrong here. Is there going to be an updated download so that we don't mistakes modifying code? Thanks!

Hey, I'm new here, but i have a question which is probably pretty easy to answer...
how do i use this random block outside of phpnuke (i like the scrolling and haven't found it anywhere else for it, but my site runs on mambo not phpnuke) and if you dont want to answer this thats cool just dont flame me cause i use mambo please

dari

it shouldn't be too hard to modify for use outside of PHPNuke. PHPNuke uses the "return $content;" line to tell the main parser what the content of the block is. $content is populated with the HTML code throughout the block. All you'd have to do is find the equivalent return variable in Mambo and make sure everything is properly formatted.

If you wanted to use it in a static HTML page, you'd replace all of the "$content .= " with "echo ".

thank you for answering!
i haven't gotten it to work ....but i'll see what i can change around

dari

no problem.
if i can get enough takers, i will expand this site to include more than just phpNuke. there haven't been any people w/ postnuke knowledge who have come forward yet. it would be nice to have a single point for Gallery and CMS integration...so if anyone out there reading this has knowledge in postnuke,mambo, geeklog, etc...let me know.

Is there an easy way just to implement this part of the code

Code: › else if ($selector=="RANDOM"){
if($horozontal == 0) {
   if($scroll) {
      echo "<marquee loop=\"infinite\" direction=\"up\" behavior=\"scroll\" align=\"center\" scrollamount= \"2\" scrolldelay=\"60\" height=\"220\" onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'>";
   }
   for($i=0;$i<$number_of_pix;$i++) {
      echoget_photo(0,$scaleTo);
      if($number_of_pix >1) {
         echo "<br>";
      }
   }
   if($scroll) {
      echo"<p><p><p></marquee>";
   }
}
else {
   echo "<table border=\"0\"><tr>";
   for($i=0;$i<$number_of_pix;$i++) {
      echo"<td>".get_photo(0,$scaleTo)."</td>";
   }
   echo"</tr></table>";
}
}

into the block-random.php file in gallery so when my mambo calls this it just does the scroll automatically ? the scroll is basically all i'm looking for right now, i can figure out album select later.....
thanks

dari

hmm...i believe the "normal" random block does the scrolling as well, without album selection.

the gallery block-random i'm almost 100% positive doesnt have scrolling...if thats what your talking about
but if you were talking about the other random block V2 thing...i have used that one...but i can't get it to scroll, all i can get it to do is show a random image just as gallery's own does..

I'm running into an issue where the block simply doens't show - no error, nothing - when I do a View Source, the code for the block just isn't there (it ends the page abrupty, as if the PHP is returning nothing to the browser and it can't continue).

I have it viewable to Admins only now as a way to test it until it's working, but it's happening for normal users when it's enabled. I do have the normal, regular Random Photo block working fine.

I'm using Nuke 7.5, Galery 1.5, and Sentinel 2.2.0, if that helps.

try D.4. Fatal error: Call to undefined function: isalbumname() [nukedgallery.net]

GJSchaller

Yah - tried that, no luck.

The odd part is that there is no errror at all, just... nothing.

I'll re-enable it for all visitors, to show what I mean:

It should be on the bottom left, under Total Hits.

dari

you mean bottom right? Wink

GJSchaller

Er... yeah, that.

(Switches his gloves Wink

)

dari

at the top of the block file, after the opening php declaration, add:

PHP: › <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ?>

make the block admin-viewable only, again, and post any messages.
