mem_randimg: Random Image from category
(Obsolete plugin, can be replaced with built in tags.)
I created a plugin that will randomly pick an image from a category (or comma separated list of categories) and then output information assocated with that image. Some of the information that can be retrieved within a form are an <img> tag for the large image or thumbnail, the author, the caption, height, width, image and thumbnail url, etc.
Download and Info HereHere is the list of supported form tags:
<txp:mem_img />
<txp:mem_img_url />
<txp:mem_img_thumbnail />
<txp:mem_img_thumbnail_url />
<txp:mem_img_caption />
<txp:mem_img_alt />
<txp:mem_img_category />
<txp:mem_img_width />
<txp:mem_img_height />
<txp:mem_img_author />
<txp:mem_img_date />
Edit: added a better description of plugin and listed form tags.

Is this feature already in txp or something?

There is a random image plugin, but it picks from a directory. As far as I can tell, yours is the first of its specific kind. I added it to the list.

Thanks. I thought that I had done something that was tabboo since many people viewed, but no one commented, or I did something that was already in the system.
New Plugin: Comments – It lets you add comments to an article!!

You know, I just found another one like this. It’s one of the very first plugins created (I’m going back in time for the catelog). Look on page 4 of the forum (I don’t remember the post ID).

I can’t download this. The txt file doesn’t contain any compressed code.

oops. I guess it does.
How exactly do you use it, though?

Re: mem_randimg: Random Image from category
blumie607, this is what I did,
I created a misc form called random_image with this in it: <code><txp:mem_img /></code>. I created an image category called “random”, I just want certain images to appear. Then in my page I added this, where I want the image:
<code><txp:mem_randimg form=“random_image” category=“random” /></code>

Re: mem_randimg: Random Image from category
Hi Manfre – great plug-in, it looks like it will do just what I need.
Some questions though –
When I put <code><txp:mem_img /></code> I get nothing.
But when I put in <code><txp:mem_randimg /></code> I get my image.
I can’t seem to get the other tags to output anything – regardless of whether I use <code><txp:mem_randimg_caption/></code> or<code><txp:mem_img_caption /></code>?
Have I missed something?
________________
Update:
OK I used the form as trailgirl mentioned and I’ve got it working. Still not sure I understand <code><txp:mem_img /></code> and <code><txp:mem_randimg /></code>.

Doesn’t work for me too.
Because of using clean url not messy one?
I need a further example.
