This feed block will show a single random image from the gallery. It only shows the image and nothing else. The image is clickable taking you to that image in your gallery.

*There is no CSS provided with this block as it uses the .general block CSS*


Update
For Gallery V4 owners you require the zip file.

Click here to download this file

Thanks for your efforts on this.

Hello,

I tried downloading this and it says I must have IP Content. I own a perpetual, does this mean that I must have IP content for this?

Thank you,
JB

This block is designed to work with IP.Content, if you have IP.Content then you can use it :)

i have this error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'glib is not an object' in /home/elbrollo/public_html/admin/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php:967 Stack trace: #0 /home/elbrollo/public_html/admin/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php(1060): ipsRegistry::getClass('glib') #1 /home/elbrollo/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/pages.php(416) : eval()'d code(3660): ipsRegistry->__get('glib') #2 /home/elbrollo/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/pages.php(416) : eval()'d code(3645): skin_ccs->__f__fd3d90a6a475386463118c9f931af9b4('Random Gallery ...', Array) #3 /home/elbrollo/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/blocks/feed/data_sources/gallery.php(1141): skin_ccs->feed__generic_18('Random Gallery ...', Array) #4 /home/elbrollo/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/blocks/feed/admin.php(497): feed_gallery->executeFeed(Array) #5 /home/elbrollo/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/blocks/adminInterface.php(188): adminBlockHelper_feed->recacheBlock(Array) # in /home/elbrollo/public_html/admin/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php  on line 967

i have the same error if i make a new feed block with this code (that in all other IP.Content display images:

<php>require_once( IPSLib::getAppDir('gallery') . "/app_class_gallery.php" );

$_d = new app_class_gallery( $this->registry );</php>




<div style="  width: 861px; height: 110px; background-color: #3D3D3D; -moz-border-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; padding: 10px; margin: 0px; border: 0px solid #000;" >

<div align="center">

        <br>

                <if test="is_array( $records ) && count( $records )">

                {parse striping="feed_striping" classes="row1,row2 altrow"}

                <foreach loop="$records as $r">

                <span style="   margin: 20px;"><a href='{$r['url']}' rel='bookmark' title='{$r['title']}'>{$this->registry->getClass('glib')->makeImageLink( $r, 1 )}</a>


                </span>

                </foreach>

                </if>

    </div>  

</div>

seems method above no longer works as ipcontent/ipgallery has changed the way it pulls images




a quick fix may be to build the thumbnail using the file names etc found in the template variables
eg

<img src='/forum/uploads/{$r['directory']}/tn_{$r['masked_file_name']}' width="100" height="100" class="galattach  " title='{$r['title']}' alt='{$r['title']}' id='' />

ok, thanks :)

how about poster name? author_name dont work.....
and category or album?

If you update to Gallery 4 then yes you get problems, I've mentioned it in the tracker and we have to wait for IP.C to be upgraded to work correctly the new gallery.

latest gallery release has the updated ipcontent feeds

anyone know how to make images like Recently Updated Albums http://community.invisionpower.com/gallery/ with background image? i dont find this image.....

In your skin css open ipgallery.css you should have (if not, add) the following.

.galattach.cover_img_50 {

	background: url("{style_images_url}/gallery/50x50.png") no-repeat 4px 4px;

	padding: 13px;

}


.galattach.cover_img_75 {

	background: url("{style_images_url}/gallery/75x75.png") no-repeat 0px 0px;

	padding: 13px;

}

If you have the css code and do not have the images, you can get them below.
.

yes thanks. images gallery was'nt uploaded in skin folder, only in master .....

I should have a working version of this done in the next day or so. If anyone would be willing to test it for me, pls send me a PM and I'll send you a test version soon as I can.

Would be cool, rather then a single image you can have 9 or so small ones and make it act like the "Recent Images" block you see on the gallery home page. (with mouse hovers)

Updated to v1.1
This update is for those people that are using IP.Gallery V4 only.

@Nervosa Will take a look and see what I can do

Hi mate,

I'm getting an error with this. I downloaded and imported the XML file, and I'm running Gallery 4.0.4. This is the error I get at the end of configuring the block and I go to save it:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'glib is not an object' in /home/talkford/public_html/admin/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php:967 Stack trace: #0 /home/talkford/public_html/admin/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php(1060): ipsRegistry::getClass('glib') #1 /home/talkford/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/pages.php(416) : eval()'d code(10755): ipsRegistry->__get('glib') #2 /home/talkford/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/pages.php(416) : eval()'d code(10740): skin_ccs->__f__8a9a46e9b9a2fd5642c45d9d02f6b9d1('Random Gallery ...', Array) #3 /home/talkford/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/blocks/feed/data_sources/gallery.php(1141): skin_ccs->feed__generic_61('Random Gallery ...', Array) #4 /home/talkford/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/blocks/feed/admin.php(497): feed_gallery->executeFeed(Array) #5 /home/talkford/public_html/admin/applications_addon/ips/ccs/sources/blocks/feed/admin.php(436): adminBlockHelper_feed->recacheBlock(Array) #6 in /home/talkford/public_html/admin/sources/base/ipsRegistry.php on line 967

I also get the same error when attempting to preview the block from within IP.Content.

Any ideas? It seems to centre around that 'glib', whatever that is.

When you downloaded the file did you download the zip file or the xml file,

The zip file is the newer one? And the one I have running on my website with no problems

Cheers Nifty

I'll give it another go and let you know, I can't remember now tbh :thumbsup:

Thats ok, I have had to go through the files to work out which was the latest as couldn't remember :)

All working, I must have downloaded the wrong one (I thought they were the same, one zipped, one not zipped!) :)
