[support] tweaking php to get random images from multiplegalleries

[Metzler, David]

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,
