this block pulls random pics from all galleries that I have running on my site for the Rant Girl of the month. I was wondering if there was any way to modify this block to pull just the newest/current gallery that is on the site. Here is the code:

can someone help me out to see if it is possible to just make this -1/or the current gallery instead of all galleries
Thanks

i noticed that too.
it would be great to only allow access to the "everybody" accessible galleries.

Hello,
I just couldn't get the random image block to work. It's blank after I activated. I followed the instruction on this page. I also used the code you post in block-random.php. I can go directly to the block .
I then created a block from the admin page and added this line:
http://www.jumpset.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=block-random.php
When activates, it showed the block but it was blank.
I think I may mess up when inserting into themesidebox function but couldn't figure out where I misses. Did I insert it correctly?
My theme's themesidebox() function:
function themesidebox($title, $content){
if (@file_exists($content)) {
$fp = fopen ($content, "r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize($content));
fclose ($fp);
$content = "?>$content<?";
$content = eval($content);
} else if (eregi("^http", $content)) {
$fp = fopen ($content, "r");
$content = fread($fp, 65535);
fclose ($fp);
}
global $block_side;
// Look of left blocks
