Re: images aspect ratio: unchanged
width: 150px; height : auto;
Edit: Ah, dam, the plugin! But you can apply classes to the image with smd_random_banner

In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

i tried it. best random image plugin. lots of options. but still, it doesn’t solve the IE 6.0 correct aspect ratio issue. height:auto; doesn’t have effect to it :(

Glad you like the plugin. I thought just setting one of the dimensions allowed the other to grow or shrink accordingly, i.e. width:150px;? At least in most browsers…

Does target="some_page" not do what you want? If not, can you elaborate please cos ‘popup’ is a tad generic. Popup to where and do what when it gets there?

Let’s back up a second. smd_random_banner is for displaying one or more random images from categories, and optionally link them to a URL. It is aimed at people who want to put up web banners or “advertise” other parts of their site to visitors (sort of “while you’re here, why not check out…”)
If your aim is to popup one or more images from a thumbnail then this is not the plugin for you. I suggest:
- upm_image for more powerful image display which can handle popups fairly easily
- rss_thumbpop which just does popups or javascript onclick/rollovers (very well, not sure about sizing though)
- smd_slimbox which uses a lightbox effect or (optionally) something similar to show galleries of images
- smd_gallery which is the bigger brother of slimbox and can make virtually any type of image display you can imagine from thumbnails
Although the last two are for galleries, there is nothing to stop you requesting a single image (limit="1") and choosing it randomly from a category (sort="random"). Depending on your requirements they may be overkill, so I would suggest checking out the first two to begin with.

Ok, maybe not. I dunno cos I never used it but I remember seeing it could do image galleries so just assumed it had a category option. Sorry for the bogus info if it doesn’t. The other three do though :-)
