Hi, I'm using the stand alone version of the Random block script, but I only want it to choose from one album. I attempted to hardcode this into the program... but I had no success.

So if anybody could help me, or can find where this was previously discussed, I would be very grateful.

Nevermind, I got it. I searched for about 2 hours last night trying to find a post, and then after 10 minutes this morning... lo and behold there it was.

However, I did modify it to make it more efficient (One long if statement with && for each album, rather than like 7 if statements).

and... depending on what block you are using... the Joerg block (for PostNuke) does let you narrow it to just one album as you requested. I was thinking of the opposite: excluding one album, which my post above is to address more of. Then again... you probably are not using nuke.

Atwookie,
what did you change in the code? Would you mind posting your php script?

I am very interested in showing a random picture for each album 'preview'

Thanks,

Moritz
