There is directions on the image block module.
Site admin > image block.
Basicly you paste the code from the imageblock module admin page into your other page eg:
<?php @readfile('http://example.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=title'); ?>Is the "other page" php?
If not then you can try an iframe

Providing you put the imageblock php tag described above in your homepage and use appropriate tags to begin and end (php doesn't like white space after final closing tag by the way) you should be fine. Works ok here: http://www.oceanrealmimages.com/intro.php

Hello...
we managed it to display a random image within a custom style block...
Thank you so far for the help
now we have two smaller problems...
the image has a frame and we are not able to remove it... we tried
itemframe and albumframe with 0 and none but no effect...
and there is an ID displayed which a want to be removed... we removed the name allready but the ID stays displayed...
has anyone an idea?

It is not a image frame it is a border that is added to all images that are links
add
img { border-style: none; }to your css on you main page.

Hi there...
we will test the link after work...
thank you very much for this.
one question about your suggestion with this stylesheet. The border comes from a stylesheet within gallery2 if i get it right? Which one could that be? Our webmaster didn't found the right one he said...
regards

Different browsers behave differently. If there is no border set for images that are links then the _default_ behavior in IE and FF are one px border the color of the links. So if it is not defined then you will have a order. The Image block does NOT send style info, so you will have to define in in the css the page uses.
Try for yourself ....add a image as a link on your page and you will see a 1px border.

Ok, I think this is almost perfect. Using your code from above I got the random image to show up on an independent page. I do not have a CSS file with that page. Can I get rid of the image border or the link all together? Also, can I loose the image title?
Here is where the sample page lives:
http://carlsonlandscapes.com/test.php
And here is the code I am using:
<?php
@readfile('http://carlsonlandscapes.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=title'); ?>
Thank you for your help

looks like you sorted the title out.
.one-image img{ border:none }in your css will get rid of the border.

The border trick now works in IE and Firefox. Thanks.
The only thing better would be to not have a link at all

For no link try:
..... you will need a transparent .gif image:
<style type="text/css"> .one-image { position: absolute; top: 50px; left: 100px; } </style> <?php @readfile('http://EXAMPLE.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=randomImage&g2_show=title'); ?> <div class="one-image"><img src="http://EXAMPLE.com/images/pixel_trans.gif" width="200" height="200"></div>You will need to position the <div> to where you would like or nest it in another <div>
Adjust the height and width (200 in the example) to your imageBlock size.

Is there a way to remove the title of the image, the blue border and make it smaller?
Thanks Ben

Is it possible to add more than 1 image. For example 5 random pics?

G2.2 has a confuration option for quantity.
older verions; just add the code over 5 times.
