Random image

First run the query...

INSERT INTO ibf_unrealportal VALUES ('', 'random_image', 'Random Image', 'right', 1, 24);

Open: ./sources/action_admin/uportal.php

Find:

$this->ipsclass->adskin->td_header[] = array( " "   , "40%" );
		$this->ipsclass->adskin->td_header[] = array( " "   , "60%" );

		$this->ipsclass->html .= $this->ipsclass->adskin->start_table( "Custom Blocks" );

Add Above:

# Start
		$this->ipsclass->adskin->td_header[] = array( " "   , "40%" );
		$this->ipsclass->adskin->td_header[] = array( " "   , "60%" );

		
		$this->ipsclass->html .= $this->ipsclass->adskin->add_td_row( array( "<b>Show Random Image?</b>", $this->ipsclass->adskin->form_yes_no( "random_image", $GLOBALS['block']['random_image'] )
																	)	  );

		$this->ipsclass->html .= $this->ipsclass->adskin->end_table();
								# end

Open: ./sources/action_public/uportal.php

Find:

$this->data['site_search']	= $this->do_site_search();

Add Below:

$this->data['random_image']	= $this->do_random_image();

Find:

}
?>

Add Above:

# Random Image
	function do_random_image()
	{
		if( ! $GLOBALS['block']['random_image'] ) return FALSE;

		$i = 0; $imgs = array();
		$img  = $this->ipsclass->vars['img_url'].'/nophoto.gif';
		$path = 'path to images';

		if( is_dir($path) )
		{
			if( $dh = @opendir($path) )
			{
				@clearstatcache();
				while( ($entry = readdir($dh)) !== false )
				{
					if( is_file($path."/".$entry) && ($entry != ".") && ($entry != "..") && preg_match("/\.(bmp|gif|jpeg|jpg|png|tif|tiff)/", $entry) )
					{
						$imgs[$i++] = $entry;
					}
				}
				@closedir($dh);

				srand((double) microtime()*1000000);
				$img = $path.'/'.$imgs[rand(0, sizeof($imgs)-1)];
			}
		}

		$output .= $this->ipsclass->compiled_templates['skin_uportal']->block_header( $this->collapse( 'random_image' ), 'randimage' );
		$output .= $this->ipsclass->compiled_templates['skin_uportal']->random_image( $img );
		$output .= $this->ipsclass->compiled_templates['skin_uportal']->block_footer();

		return $output;
	}

Goto: Admin CP: Skin & Templates: Skin Manager: Edit Template HTML: skin_uportal:

Click on "Add Template Bit" button

yea my board is 2.2 and gallery 2.1 it does work!

This is all I get when I put yours in mate.

IPB WARNING [2] mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource (Line: 4 of /sources/action_public/uportal.php(855) : eval()'d code)

And RedAlert yours is an add on and does not connect to the gallery, also you have to install it into every skin before the skin will display.

I guess it puts us back to the drawing board.

[redalert19882000]

Yeah! This script is shows random image from every images but you can use it !

[Drew]

I am also getting the error mayo

Call to undefined method skin_uportal_2::block_header() in /home/db/public_html/old_stuff/R2/sources/action_public/uportal.php on line 1330

And can you explain to a noob this plz

Edit the link $path = 'path to images (gallery)';

is this the link to my gallery or the gallery random images or the folder in my ftp?

I have just installed this mod on my site so I am on a bit of a learning curve here lol
