I am running Gallery 3.03 and Grey Dragon 3.2.2. I installed all the latest modules and most is OK. I am using Image Block Ex set to random and RSS Feeds Extra set to Random photos and movies. I am only getting the album covers displayed in the random image sidebar. I had this working before I upgraded, but I have tried various combinations and can't get other images from the albums. Any ideas how to do this, please and thanks.

your feed is http://torontogesneriadsociety.org/tgspictures/index.php/rss/feed/gallery/album/1
what you see here, is what is displayed in the image block

I spent this morning trying to find how to change this, but found nothing. Administration doesn't seem to have anything. Documentation did not steer me anywhere. Where do I go to change this, please?

I would like to have random photos from within the albums, not the cover page from my albums displayed in the Random Image sidebar.

you can use RSS Feed Extra module - http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:rss_extra
Perhaps rss_extra/random/photo - random photo feed - would work for you

Hi,
I changed Random to latest in the Image Block ex module and it is working better. Changing the Rss ex mod did nothing. I guess I'm happy now. Thank you
