Random Image / SSI combo
« on: September 06, 2002, 11:00:07 »
Hi Mike ...

 With the recent addition of the random image feature, I was thinking of a way to extend this.  Would it be possible for you to add to album.pl a way to randomly select a pic from within the album(s), and display the pic without any html templates / formatting?  Almost like you did with the SSI for 10 most recent uploads, except display one random pic, not thumbnails.

 I am currently doing this on a site I'm workin on, with another script, but I do not have it using the same dir structure that album.pl uses.  I have to put the images it choses from in another dir (or it would display the _thmbs as well).  I also have it loading a new image every 10 seconds.

 Source of the script I'm currently using:
 http://bliss.seagull.net/protater.html

 The site (under construction) where I use album.pl and this random image script:
 http://www.caoregon.com/new

 Thanx again for a great script!

 Dale.

Yeah, that's a great idea!

On to the to do list it goes! I can't guarantee when I'll get to it, but I think it's a neat idea.

Thanks!

Guys, where do I find this SSI:

I would like to add it to my homepage.

And WyldeCard, your (idea for the) image and text rotaters are excellent, I will implement those right away!

The only random script I had I had to punch in all the filenames and also it repeated so this is super.

Excuse my ignorance but where do I find this randomizer script that I so want. ;D  

I remember asking about some randomizer script before, must have been before it was written.  Mike, is there anyway to extend that script so it shows something like the caption and photo credit like this java script I have running on my site (not tied to album.pl btw).  http://www.cascadeclimbers.com

Thanks, Jon
