Hi,

Since i can't post it in the library, here goes: I've attached the file.
Based on ralphs newslisting-snippet. Basicaly it separates found images inside the content, and returns a random image found as a tumbnail, aside the stripped content.

IMPORTANT:
- It doesn't generate tumbnails, it just rescales a random image
- Yes, it does use tables, for some an issue... css simply fails on some browsers (images over tekst etc...)

in the config. above in the snippet, you can specify the tumbnail-size, image format (jpg, gif... but best to leave this on jpg) and scale-direction (depending on usage one might need an equal vertical or horizontal allignement).

I made the layout as flat as possible, i strongly advise to replace <hr>'s by bg's and make it look a bit nicer(hardcoded or via your stylesheet). Nest this complete table inside the middle cell of a 3 col/row table and give it fancy borders....

Previeuw url My Webpage
(hit the refresh and you 'll see the random-part)
Below each blog, there is a row with info regarding the image used, total images found... you can turn this off (as done in the example) in the config of the snippet once you are satisfied, but at least while testing it you can see if sth. is actual going on or not

Thanx to mikef for helping me out with regular expression stuff.

Hope you like it
Koen

I've updated the snippet.

I noticed the defined patern-search was case sensitve. So if your $patern = jpg, JPG wasn't valid. Changed this in the query (i = PCRE_CASELESS) so now you no longer need to worry about this.

Nice

I couldn't work out why I would want a random image at first, but I can think of some good uses now. Cool site btw, really like it. May I say in my humble opinion that it shouldn't work, but it does and is quite unique.

Cool content too! Love Carlos TV

Look forward to trying your snippet.

Paul.

Thanx a million for the compliments. Hope you like the snippet to. It's been a while i did this snippet (with help from others to off corse). Why random... was the most simple solution and it would change (looks like it changed) the content of the site. Unf. the carlos site will not last much longer. Our guitar player moved to Africa & bassplayer to France... ok, you can do a lot over the internet, maybe even play some tunes, but we will never be able to pass it around ;-)))))

seems like it shows unpublished and deleted documents ...

Anyone who has fixed this ?

EDIT:

easy - just replace "getALLChildren" with "getactiveChildren" in the following line:
$resource = $etomite->getactiveChildren($resourceparent
