Post subject: Showing X random pics from a certain folder

Hi!

I am using smartors portal and UploadPic by beehave.de
UploadPic is storing the pics in a certain folder.
I would like to show a certain number of pics from that folder on my portal-page, if possible as a link to the thread where the pic is used.

Is that possible?

/Holger

Are you retrieving the picture (file names) by scanning the directory? The easiest way I can think of to do this is retrieve all of the picture names into an array, determine the size of the array, and generate random keys into the array based on how many pictures you want to display.

There is a HUGE bunch of pictures.
Do you think that it could turn into a performance problem?

Do you have stored somewhere how many pictures there are? You could retrieve that instead of counting files in the folder...

Hi, in ACP you have "UploadPic recent" that shows the last 10 uplaods and with pagination and more. Must be possible to adapt some of the code? The linking needs to be added though.

This may be worth taking a look at. It displays random images from an Album. I am not sure which album mod it is for. I did have one for the "Full album pack" so guess it and others will be on phpBBhacks.com

It is for smartors photoalbum. I have the clown(=Volodymyr Skoryk)-addon installed.

Thank you for the suggestions!

Yeah, that UploadPic-thing is a very good start!

I am doing exactly this for my portal.. It's not a Released Mod... icon_smile.gif
I can write this as Mod. I have all the codes. Not just well organised for distribution, at this time.

Sounds good! icon_smile.gif
I rented a coder to make the same thing but with the attachment mod. It was very heavy on my index so disabled it many years ago. It didnt make real thumbnails but scaled down the big image.. ugly i now. But i really miss it.. icon_wink.gif I can also try to dig that out if someone needs it.
