Random Thumbnails as plugin without duplicates - alanekilauea - 2008-05-03
Hey there, I just spent the day trying to figure this out and finally got it so thought I would share the wealth here. I am not a programmer so forgive if it seems crude, I did what I needed to get it to work.
I needed to show random images from an album on an external page, but found that the random images can end up with duplicates, so my fix:
<?php zp_load_gallery();
?>
<?php //Random Thumbnails, full size image displayed w/ LightBox
zp_load_album('/Hawaii'); // specify album folder
$imageList = ""; // create image list container
for ($i=1; $i<=8; $i++) {
$randomImage = getRandomImagesAlbum();
$imageName = $randomImage->getTitle();
if (strpos($imageList , $imageName)) { // search image list for particular image name, if image name already exists deincrement and continue loop
$i--;
} else {
echo "
[*]\n";
echo '<a>getSizedImage(getOption('image_size')).'" rel="lightbox[slides]" title="'.htmlspecialchars($randomImage->getTitle(), ENT_QUOTES).'">' .
'<img src="' . $randomImage->getThumb() .
'" alt="'.htmlspecialchars($randomImage->getTitle(), ENT_QUOTES).'"';
echo "/></a>
\n";
$imageList = $imageList .' '. $imageName; //append image name to image list
}
}
?>
And that's it. It shows 8 random thumbnails which open with a lightbox effect.
Cheers,
Alane

Hmm mangled my code, one more try:
` <?php //Random Thumbnails, full size image displayed w/ LightBox
zp_load_album('/Hawaii');
$imageList = ""; // create image list container
for ($i=1; $i<=8; $i++) {
$randomImage = getRandomImagesAlbum();
$imageName = $randomImage->getTitle();
if (strpos($imageList , $imageName)) { // search image list for particular image name, if image name already exists deincrement and continue loop
$i--;
} else {
echo "[*]n";
echo 'getTitle(), ENT_QUOTES).'">' .
'[img]' . $randomImage->getThumb() .
'[/img]getTitle(), ENT_QUOTES).'"';
echo "/>n";
$imageList = $imageList .' '. $imageName; //append image name to image list
}
}
?>`
