Main page thumbs

[rctruckz]

Hi all

ok ive setup my gallery & all is working well

However im trying to set the main page which shows random images to only show random pics of a certain album (not all of the albums) ive looked on here & looked through the faq but cant find the answer, anyone help me please ?

All i want is to know how to set it up so on the main page where it says "Random Files" only pictures from an album I choose will show up here

The Random block uses the current category to choose its random selection of files.  Do you want the Random block to always show a fixed album, no matter what category you are in?

I whipped up a plugin that I'll post once I know what you want.

Here's a plugin that should do what you want: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=31592.0

atm in the random files it shows pics from all 3 albums but i only want it to show pics from the 1st album (My FG MB Pro)

ok i downloaded the zip, but i have no idea how to install this, i read the FAQ for installing plug ins in the plug-in section but its not very clear, when i goto the plugins section on my coppermine it only gives me an option to browse 1 file but theres 6 for this plug in?

do i need to make a new folder in my web directory/plugins folder for this plug in ?

eg: plugins/this_plugin ?

ignore my last post, all sorted now i just uploaded the .zip file

great plug-in

thanks!

You're welcome.  Marking thread as solved.

How can I disable plugin in category pages, but continue show random pictures from fixed album on main page?

It's not a bright idea to try to hijack a thread that is marked as solved and deals with something different. Locking.
