Standalone

Hi,

the block you use is the one for postnuke integration. It is not for use as on a stand alone gallery installation (seems that you're not using PN). <!-- BBCode Start --><A HREF="http://gallery.sourceforge.net/docs.php?artid=23" TARGET="_blank">Here</A><!-- BBCode End --> you can get a version for a stand alone gallery!

Just as a reminder ... that I still can't figure this out and am looking for help.

Thanks :smile:

I've got the Random_Block installed in my PostNuke site and I'm getting a similar error:

When I delete albums/block-random.cache, the block works fine. One time. Then I get the above error again. :sad:

The site is at http://www.biav.org/index.php

At first, the block didn't work at all, because I created it with an HTML Block. This time I used a PHP Block and it worked... sort of.

Any ideas, anyone?

I was able to run Random Block -- though I was having some intermittent problems with the cache file.

Within postnuke you should be creating the block with the gallery-random photo block category. Not HTML or php. I'm not sure if I understood with what you said, but let us know if you did create it with the correct block type.

Other than that, I'm not sure what else is wrong with the rand() function.

I am getting a similar problem, here is my error message:

I'm using this line to call the script:

<?php include ("gallery/block-random.php"); ?>

and here's a link to the live page I am calling from:

thx in advance!

Hi,

I had the same problem and it's really easy to fix

levigator: just uncomment the line at 101 and do this

Open block-random.php and change:

<!-- BBCode Start --><TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE>function choosePhoto($album) {
global $cache;

$count = $cache[$album->fields["name"]];
if ($count == 0) {
// Shouldn't happen
return null;
} else if ($count == 1) {
$choose = 1;
} else {
$choose = rand(1,$count);

$wrap = 0;
if ($album->isHidden($choose)) {
$choose++;
if ($choose > $album->numPhotos(1)) {
$choose = 1;
$wrap++;

if ($wrap = 2) {
return null;
}
}
}
}

return $choose;
}</TD></TR></TABLE><!-- BBCode End -->

to:

<!-- BBCode Start --><TABLE BORDER=0 ALIGN=CENTER WIDTH=85%><TR><TD><font class="pn-sub">Code:</font><HR></TD></TR><TR><TD><FONT class="pn-sub"><PRE>function choosePhoto($album) {
global $cache;

$count = $cache[$album->fields["name"]];
if ($count == 0) {
// Shouldn't happen
return null;
} else if ($count == 1) {
$choose = 1;
} else {
settype($count,"integer");
$choose = rand(1,$count);

$wrap = 0;
if ($album->isHidden($choose)) {
$choose++;
if ($choose > $album->numPhotos(1)) {
$choose = 1;
$wrap++;

if ($wrap = 2) {
return null;
}
}
}
}

return $choose;
}</TD></TR></TABLE><!-- BBCode End -->

And it should be fixed :smile:

you may try that, think it should work (or just upload your original init.php)

I have been trying to use all the solutions posting on the forum to get my random and resizing work.
I use a standalone system.
I wanted to use full photos as my thumbnails size was 100 and at my random size was 500 by 300 , so resizng the same would blur the images.
I then changed

echo "<center>"
."<a href=" .makeAlbumUrl($album->fields["name"], $id) ." $targetAttr>"
.$album->getThumbnailTag($index,$size)
."</a>";

-------------------------------------------------------------
to
-------------------------------------------------------------
echo "<center>"
."<a href=" .makeAlbumUrl($album->fields["name"], $id) ." $targetAttr>"
.$album->getPhotoTag($index,$size)
."</a>";

although i do get the images but the sizes are way too big.
Is there a way i can resize the whole image and not just the thumbnail

Thanks
Zor
