More than 1 random image from gallery?

photobanks

Hi all,

Is it possible to have more than 1 random image being pulled from a single gallery so that the same image is not displayed in all the boxes? I have tried to pull 4 random images from 1 gallery at once but they all come out as the same image.

Thanks,

Michael

You can add the &rand parameter to the random photo request. I haven't been able to come up with a set of &rand values that will guarantee different images though. I use this technique to show 4 photos on my homepage. Sometimes 2 of the 4 photos are the same. Sometimes all 4 are unique. Here's an example of the <img src statement with the addition of the &rand parameter:

<img src="/photos/random.mg?AlbumID=7462239&AlbumKey=K4D5R&rand=23&Size=550x550">

You can see an example of how I am using it on my homepage.

Looks like you're getting the same problem as me at the moment with sporadic photo not found errors.

Unfortunately, yes. I reported the problem in this thread.
