Title: Main page thumbs
Post by: rctruckz on May 17, 2006, 02:00:32 am: Hi all :)

ok ive setup my gallery & all is working well :D

However im trying to set the main page which shows random images to only show random pics of a certain album (not all of the albums) ive looked on here & looked through the faq but cant find the answer, anyone help me please :) ?

All i want is to know how to set it up so on the main page where it says "Random Files" only pictures from an album I choose will show up here :)

I whipped up a plugin that I'll post once I know what you want.

Post by: rctruckz on May 17, 2006, 11:27:23 pm: ok i downloaded the zip, but i have no idea how to install this, i read the FAQ for installing plug ins in the plug-in section but its not very clear, when i goto the plugins section on my coppermine it only gives me an option to browse 1 file but theres 6 for this plug in?

do i need to make a new folder in my web directory/plugins folder for this plug in ?

eg: plugins/this_plugin ?
