hmm? I have 4 photos in the gallery. I just installed the latest update on my site right block= gallery upload


www.therockpile.org

config says this

// use random, or most recent pics?
// 0 = random, 1 = most recent, 2 = most viewed, 3 = most commented
$gal_showtype = 0;
// sort :: 0 = Descending, 1 = Ascending
$gal_sort = 0;

yet it doesnt change pics.


the one in the right block down a little =random pic from 12/27 works right

The top one is set for random pic right. I know you added stuff. Do I need to change something else?

thanks.   Do I have to put the ones I want random in a special category?

The pictures do not randomly change ... seems I am stuck on the same 5 pictures.

I went back to an older version of your code (http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=15073.msg124980#msg124980) and it works fine.

I have 6 Category's in my Galley and I would like the code to show from all the Categorys I have not one. 

Any ideas?

Update 1.5.1

@Shadow Queen
You can use as many or as little categories you like for the block.  If you leave the $gal_disallowCats and the $gal_allowCats variables empty (the default) then it will take random/recent/viewed/commented pics from all categories.

If you only want a single, or a couple categories to display, use the $gal_allowCats variable to identify those.  If you want all except a single or couple of categories to display then use the $gal_disallowCats to identify the ones not to display.

Update 1.5.2
- FIX: Couldn't display date unless member name was also displayed, can now display just the date option if desired

... can't believe no one mentioned this yet, probably in the code since first release..

I have to found that in the code?

No you don't have to find it in the code, he updated the first post.
