Random image from a particular category/gallery
Last modified: April 5, 2009 - 20:29
Here's a block that works like random image, but pulls the images from a chosen gallery/category.
<?php
$gallery_name='Enter the name of the gallery here';
$term = taxonomy_get_term_by_name($gallery_name);
$tid = $term[0]->tid;
$thumbs = 0;
$images_arr = (image_get_random($count = $thumbs, $tid));
foreach ($images_arr as $images){
print l(image_display($images, 'thumbnail'),'node/'.$images->nid, array(), null, null, FALSE, TRUE);
}
?>An alternative version slightly modified to display only the image. This function just shows the image without any links.
<?php
$gallery_name='Enter the name of the gallery here';
$term = taxonomy_get_term_by_name($gallery_name);
$tid = $term[0]->tid;
$thumbs = 0;
while ($thumbs<1)
{
$images = (image_get_random($count = 1, $tid));
print image_display($images[0], 'preview');
$thumbs++;
}
?>
