Also,
Would really recommend you explore using views module. You create a view that returns one node in the block, and set sort order to random.
You can get more than random images with this, but random anything!
Selecting which nodes qualify is just adjusting the view on the filter criteria.

You might want to try this:
<?php // set the names of the galleries you want to enable $galleries = array("One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"); $gallery = $galleries[array_rand($galleries)];
$term = taxonomy_get_term_by_name($gallery); $tid = $term[0]->tid; $thumbs = 0; while ($thumbs<1) { $images = (image_get_random($count = 1, $tid)); print l(image_display($images[0], 'thumbnail'),'node/'.$images[0]->nid, array(), null, null, FALSE, TRUE); $thumbs++; } ?>
I did not tested it.
Please post it on the handbook if you are successful with it.
Hope this helps,

hi all, this is from the -> PHP snippets section of the drupal

can someone help tweak this so you can have it grab the images from several diferent galleries, rather than just one?
i'm very new to php, but i don't think adding several gallery names, separated by commas, will work...
thanks!

<?php $gallery_name='Enter the name of the gallery here'; $term = taxonomy_get_term_by_name($gallery_name); $tid = $term[0]->tid; $thumbs = 0; while ($thumbs<1) { $images = (image_get_random($count = 1, $tid)); print l(image_display($images[0], 'thumbnail'),'node/'.$images[0]->nid, array(), null, null, FALSE, TRUE); $thumbs++; } ?>
