The logic behind selecting the Picture of the Day, Week etc are all controlled by Gallery2 Imageblock plugin, thus unfortunately we cannot offer a lot of support for this. In WPG2 3.1 will have our own module which should allow better control over how the images get display in the sidebar.

You are welcome to try to post this issue in the Gallery2 Troubleshooting forum . I have seen a few threads with issues like this before, a search might reveal a few clues..

I've got the same problem on a couple of sites. The fix that I apply is inserting the following code:

<?php @readfile('http://www.taniza.de/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=imageblock.External&g2_blocks=dailyImage&g2_show=title'); ?>

This code is suggested on the imageblock page of the site administration of the gallery. After calling my page one single time with the inserted code, the wpg2 plugin works correctly and I can remove the code again. Seems to be that you somehow need to "configure" the imageblock, which seems to indicate the wpg2 plugin could be tweaked.

Jord,

I am not sure what you are describing would have any impact, as all you have done is just call the same imageblock which the WPG2 utilises. FYI the imageblock does not required configuration.

Thanks..

Wondering....Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this? When I set WPG2 "Sidebar Block" to "Daily Image," a random image is shown...in other words, the "Picture of the Day" changes every time the page loads?

As suggested above I searched the G2 forums for this issue, but didn't see anything?

gatoruss,

Unfortunately because this module (imageblock) is a Gallery2 module we are pretty limited in what can be fixed (unfortunately your issue being one we cannot). In WPG2 3.1 we will have a different way to get images and should be able to then track down any issues like these..

Thanks for the reply, ozgreg.

Curious (as I do not have a lot of experience with G2)...does the daily image block work correctly in G2 when it is not embedded?

It is the same module thus the issue should be the same..
