Can you also do a latest images block for smf gallery pro ?

I've already been thinking about modifying this block to allow the admin to select options for:
- latest x number of pix
- most viewed x number of pix
- most commented x number of pix
- top pic poster's x number of pix

also thinking about adding a slideshow option for the future...

Quickie update by request at my TPBlocks site:

Update 1.3

• added ability to display pics only from categories you specify (example: $allowCats = "1,3,9")
  
• disallowed categories override allowed categories (example: $disallowCats = "3" -- prevents category 3 pics from being displayed even tho above example has it in $allowCats)
  

see code for info

This update will be good for you if you have many categories and only want random pics from 1 or a few categories.  Easier than putting alot of categories in the $disallowCats variable. Also prevents you from having to add more categories to the $disallowCats every time you create more SMF Gallery categories that you do not want random pics displayed from.

Update 1.4

• added ability to choose between recent pics and random
  
• added sort option so can display (x) most recent or oldest pics
