Just so you don't think you are going mad, I am getting the red X randomly as well! Maybe it is a browser based problem. I am using IE7 on XP

I just tested on 3 pc across 6 browses and all came out fine... did 10 refreshes each... never one red x... for what it's worth.
viebig is right we need some code from when it's in error... sorry I can't be more helpful.

It looks like the random image generator is including the "parent directory" in the file list of the images/front directory, on a broken page I see:
where on all the good pages I get something like:
Code: Select all
<img src="images/front/picture_one_foot.jpg">
You need to exclude the folder ".." (parent directory) somehow...
Great looking site BTW.

Thanks! How would I edit that to excluded? Copy of plugin code attached
read() ) {
++$count;
}
$myDir->close();
$myDir = dir($dirn);
rewinddir();
srand(time());
$randnum = rand(3,($count-2)+1);
for($i=0;$iread();
$myimage = $entryName;
}
return $dirn . "/" . $myimage;
}
function smarty_cms_help_function_random_image() {
?>
What does this do?
Grabs a random image from the image directory specified
How do I use it?
Just insert the tag into your template/page like: {random_image dir="images/albums"}
What parameters does it take?
(optional)dir - directory containing the images.

Hello people!
name it rnd_image
Code: Select all
$dir = (empty($params['dir'])) ? "uploads/images" : $params['dir'];
$myDir = dir($dir);
if(!$myDir) return "<!-- Directory '".$params['dir']."' not exist, aborting -->";
$images = Array();
while($file = $myDir->read()) {
if($file != '.' && $file != '..' && !is_dir($params['dir'].$file)) {
$ext = strtolower(substr(strrchr($file, "."), 1));
if(($ext == "jpg" || $ext == "jpeg" || $ext == "gif" || $ext == "png") && strstr($file, $params['exclude']) == "") {
$images[] = $file;
}}}
$myDir->close();
if (sizeof($images) == 0) return "<!-- No images found matching image extensions and excluded pattern -->";
return $dir.'/'.$images[rand(0,sizeof($images)-1)];
we have two optional params:
dir - directory where the files are
exclude - a simple exclude string
the usage is
Code: Select all
{rnd_image dir="uploads/images/random" exclude="thumb"}
This will get a random image from 'uploads/images/random' folder, excluding all images that have 'thumb' on the file name
Also only .jpeg, .jpg, .gif and .png are indexed, so the dir can contain another files too. Directories, '.' and '..' will not get indexed.
So, try it, let me know if it works for you and if it has bugs(I didnt test it)
Cheers, and applaud me!
