Getting random img and data in CPG Template pages

[Gephri]

I've struggles with this for so long - and just can't get it.
I can get CPMFetch to work beautifully showing random images and date (views and ranks) on php pages across my site and even in my bridged phpbb.  Problem is that I can not get this to show on my CPM template page because that is HTML.

anyone know how to get something like to following to work in CPM templates:

Code Select Expand

<?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/gallery/cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php");
$styleguide = array(
"imagewidth" => '100',
"imageStyle" => "cpm_brdr",
"subtitle" => "<span class='fnt_9'>%h views<br />%v votes</span>",
"alttag" => "Click to see more photos in gallery");
$objCpm = new cpm("/gallery");
$objCpm->cpm_viewRandomMedia(1,1,$styleguide);
?>

You should post in a template section maybe, stress to them that you have cpmfetch working, its just executing it from a template that is the problem.

I've done it before I think... I forget how though

This html file has an option for header/footer php includes in admin
section.  Just look at the code and move the footer include box and
use that for your include.  If you've got the know-how, create a
seperate block directive for a new include, or maybe search for that
option instead.
just my 2cents..

*Keep all of your script files in the cpmfetch folder,
was my lesson on getting this thing to work.
Called them from another include string in my
site pages.

This is bad advice.  Since I can't get a response on this one - I advise people to not follow this.  It is pointless, an extra step and is just outright not needed.

I suspect what the problem was, and I think it had to do with not following instructions.
