Randon-pictures block from a standalone COPPERMINE installation

[moschos]

Hello..!! Three days now I am trying to make block-random-pictures.php to run without errors but without luck.. I have a standalone installation of Coppermine 1.3.2 in my site http://www.nuked.gr/cpg132/ and I want to display radom pictures from the Gallery to my main page (phpnuke based) on http://www.nuked.gr
I modified block-random-pic.php to include the load.init from the cpg132 standalone installation but now I am getting the error :

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/jnukedag/public_html/blocks/block-Random_pictures.php on line 55

The code I try to make it work (I LOAD IT AS A BLOCK FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR BLOCK PAGE) is the following :

}

$content="<center>";
$result = sql_query("SELECT count(*) from cpg_pictures", $dbi);
   $nbEnr = mysql_fetch_array($result);
   $count = $nbEnr[0];

while ($stop<$numberpic)

   $img = "<img src=\"{$picture['filepath']}thumb_{$picture['filename']}\"  border=\"0\">";
   $content .= "<a href=\"http://www.nuked.gr/cpg132/displayimage.php&album=random&cat=&pos=-{$picture['pid']}\">$img<br>" . truncate_string444($picture['filename']) . "</a><br><br>";

$stop++;
}
?>


ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH MUCH APPRECIATED..!! Thanks a lot !

1.  Check for empty space after the closing ?>.  The code you posted only has 54 lines, but your error message says line 55.

2.  Try this:

A side note - you should post your PHP code using the insert code button.

Obviously you're using the nuke port of coppermine, which goes unsupported here. Please read the sticky on the deprecated nuke support board I'm moving this thread to.

Edit by kegobeer: Joachim, he has the standalone gallery but wants to display random images on his nuke site.  This should be moved back to the original post location.  Also, can you give me permissions to reply to threads on this board?

[Joachim Müller]

oops, sorry. Moving the thread back to where it was originally posted.

@Kegobeer: I didn't realize you don't have permissions to reply here, will change permissions asap.
