if you go here:

http://rogers.gotdns.com/

and click on the random image you be taken to my embedded gallery2.

any page shown within the embedded gallery2 pages displays a random image (at left, center column) on all gallery2 pages; this is in ADDITION to the random image shown on the far right (a "drupal page", if you will).

how can cause ONLY the random image at the left center on the "gallery2 pages" to go away so that only the random image on the far left is displayed when inside the embedded "gallery2 pages"?

thanks!

I was having the same problem and solved it by setting Random image to "disabled" and Gallery Block to "enabled".
Hope it works for you too!

may i see your site?

my random image block IS disabled.
only the gallery block is ON.

i only, obviosuly, have the two random images displayed when i am looking at embedded gallery2 (within drupal).

it is my understanding --and i beleive prior experience-- that going into gallery2 and disabling random image will kill ALL 'random image'.

it seems, i'm no programmer, that drupal's random image module needs to be able to pull a random pic from gallery2 pics without gallery2's random imager being turned on.

???

Sorry for the VERY slow replay, Ichiro!

Try setting your blocks up as
Random image Not Active
Latest image Not Active <-- I imagine that this is what you would want
Gallery Block Active
Gallery Navigation Active

You can see the site at www.ishous.net
It is still under-construction but is active.

My understanding is that Drupal has its own random engine and that Gallery has its own. You just need to turn off one of them. I prefer the Gallery engine since you have higher control of which of the pictures can be shown or not shown.
Hope this helps.

hi,

i have a test bed for installing Drupal 4.6.3.

i have gallery2 on the same site and embedded into the drupal test.
i have the random_image block turned OFF in Drupal and Gallery2 module is turned ON.

on the main drupal index page (http://rogers.gotdns.com --when up) i have the random image on the far right, under the calendar.
if you click on that random image (far right) my gallery2 is displayed in the center section of the drupal page. in this section there is displayed also a [smaller] different random image (i believe coming from gallery2's unique random image mode being turned on).

the undesirable effect is that there are, at that point, two random images on the page: the one on the far right, under the calendar which always remains, and the [smaller] one added into the center section displaying gallery2.

here is a picture of gallery2 in the center section of my drupal site. you can see the 2 random images.

i would like it very much if i could KILL the one inside the center, gallery2, section while retaining the one on the far right.

(if this does not display please load this url into your browser manually:
http://www.math.fsu.edu/~trogers/images/random_images.jpg (44KB)

i am not a developer but, is this because the gallery2 module uses gallery2's own random image mode? as opposed to pulling a "random image" from the available pics residing in the gallery2 install? it seems if that is true and there is no way to kill the undesired doubling up when viewing gallery2 within drupal, then a module or something that would NOT rely on gallery2 to produce the image would be beneficial? i'm guessing.

all i would really like is to *know* what's what, so i can stop futzing with it. however, i do want a random image in drupal without building all kinds of other stuff and other pic dirs and i would like to embed g2, but i just don't want this second random image when displaying gallery2 embedded. :(

thanks!
