Re: [support] random images - how to choose which galleries?

...

we have a block that displays random images, works great except that it grabs all images from our galleries. how can we set it to only grab images from selected galleries?

drupal 4.7 but soon on 5.1

I believe you can use Views to do that.

Yes: we've got a random teaser that uses a view: the view is set to be randomly ordered, filtering on the "Rotating teaser" gallery, and returning a single node in block mode. Then, in the template, we drop:

<?php $done = views_block("view", "RandomTeaser"); print $done["content"]; ?>

You could potentially use this to provide teasers pertaining to your current page, by feeding in the page's categorisation as an argument.... That's not something we've looked into, though.
