Hi, is it possible to set up individual links to the individual images in a Random Gallery via the shortcode? For example, five images, each with a different link to an external URL?

Thanks for your help, Magnus

I’m using the plugin to show a random image on my sidebar. The full image is over killing it so I have modified the plugin to get a different image size.

If anyone is interested in achieving this here is what you need to change:

• In random-image-class.php look for “$link = wp_get_attachment_url( $galleryid, false, ‘medium’ );” and replace it for “$link = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $galleryid, ‘medium’ );” (change “medium” for the desired size)
• In the same file look for “$galleryurls[] = $link;” and replace it with “$galleryurls[] = $link[0];”

That’s really it!

Is there anyway that I can adopt this plugin? I’d like to get this going again. Thanks!

Is there anyway to have the images pulled from a directory? I’m switching from an old plugin and they are not in the media gallery.

Thanks!

I ran into an issue where I tried to place multiple [random-image] codes on the same page and it errored out calling a function. I thought I would post the fix in case the author or anybody else needed it.

In the random-image-class.php file, on line 79, change:

function get_attachment_id_from_src ($image_src) {
	global $wpdb;
	$query = "SELECT ID FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE guid='$image_src'";
	$id = $wpdb->get_var($query);
	return $id;
}

To:

if(!function_exists('get_attachment_id_from_src')){
	function get_attachment_id_from_src ($image_src) {
		global $wpdb;
		$query = "SELECT ID FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE guid='$image_src'";
		$id = $wpdb->get_var($query);
		return $id;
	}
}

After updating random image to version 2.0 it stops working with any plugin showing tags on pages i tried. Direcly on page it works like it was in version 1.1 but showing all pages containing selected tag breaks page showing only title of the first page and nothing more. I had to rollback to version 1.1 to make it work as it should.

Hi there. Thanks for a great, simple plugin.

I’m wondering how I might add a class to the <img> tag? I tried adding it here:

$finalgallery = "<img src=".$file." class='image' />";

But this breaks the plugin function. No image displays.

Could you advise?

Thanks so much!

Or something like that. Can’t say more, since already uninstalled it.

Hello, is this plugin still being supported?

I have the [random-image] shortcode working fine on a page with post ID “xyz”.

When I attempt to display the same group on random images on a different page, nothing renders with the code [random-image postid="xyz"].

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Mervin,

thanks for this plugin. It works very well on my site. I wondered why the plugin doesn’t display the ATL-text. Is there a way to add this?

Best wishes

Don’t waste your time. It doesn’t work with WP 3.6. It’s even broken on the developer’s page.

Also, support requests have no replies after months.

I’m trying to find the best way to add a custom rollover caption and caption background color over the random image. I don’t know if this is the best solution but with the Custom Content Type Plugin I can add a photo, text background color, and sub-title text as custom fields to all posts. So the idea is to have 25 posts each with individual colors, titles, sub-titles and images. Like that, if the random image pulled comes from the post “What is Red?” when the mouse rollsover a red bar comes up in the center of the random image with the posts title and subtitle as white text.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have been using Random-Image for awhile now to display images in the side widget area (using the Twenty-ten theme) and it has been great. Now suddenly it isn’t working. I recently added WP-Auctions, but it was working for at least a day after WP-Auctions was active. Now the widget just displays the raw text instead of an image.

I love this plugin but I would like the title of the image to display as well. Is it possible?

Is there a way to hyperlink the images used in the shortcode?

Would it be possible to define a image ‘pool’ like a folder to select the images from. This because in different locations i would like random images from separate folders.

how can I enable auto post random images only to the post that have no images? thanks

This plugin does exactly what I am looking for. However, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t work when the NextGen Gallery plugin is activated.

Is there a solution for this?
