Problem with the Random Picture Block

Br00klynzzfinest · **Problem with the Random Picture Block -** 04-10-2003, 01:31 AM

I followed the dirctions in the Readme file, I pasted all the code where it needed to go, then following the directions I added the link into the block and activated.... all it did was show the block with the link in it as text...

so I avtivated the "Block-random.php" then that block showed a random image but it had this error above it:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/bayridge/public_html/modules/gallery/session.php on line 55

and when you click on the random image the image goes to a non existant page because my galleries are stored here:

http://www.bayridgenights.com/images/gallery/album01/

Not, Here

http://www.bayridgenights.com/modules/gallery/album01/

So what can i do to correct all of these problems ?

error wont die.

Worked yout the directory issue? So you got the block-random.php put in the right place?
It does not go in the blocks folder. It goes in the modules/gallery folder
If you renamed your gallery, you need to change the name in the link in the block also.

Code:

http://your.server/modules.php?op=modload&name=your-gallery-name&file=index&include=block-random.php

replace your-gallery-name with your Gallery module's name.
If you did not change the name of the gallery module, then it should simply be gallery.
Also replace your.server with your servers name.

Ok... got it all done.. I go into the admin panel make the block by pasting in this link

Code:

http://www.bayridgenights.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=block-random.php

But the block shows with the link text in the block...

OK now for the next thing.
Make sure you pasted the code into your theme.php in the correct spot. Paste your entire function sidebox from your theme.php here so I can see it with your code.
Also, make sure you albums directory is CHMOD 777 so that the block-random.cache can be written to it.

It was already 777

Code:

/************************************************************/
/* Function themesidebox()                                  */
/*                                                          */
/* Control look of your blocks. Just simple.                */
/************************************************************/

        if (@file_exists($content)) {
                $fp = fopen ($content, "r");
                $content = fread($fp, filesize($content));
                fclose ($fp);
                $content = "?>$content<?";
                $content = eval($content);
        } else if (eregi("^http", $content)) { 
                $fp = fopen ($content, "r"); 
                $content = fread($fp, 65535); 
                fclose ($fp); 
        }

function themesidebox($title, $content) {
    $tmpl_file = "themes/DarkBlue/blocks.html";
    $thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file));
    $thefile = addslashes($thefile);
    $thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";";
    eval($thefile);
    print $r_file;
}

Your code is pasted wrong.

here:

Code:

/************************************************************/ 
/* Function themesidebox()                                  */ 
/*                                                          */ 
/* Control look of your blocks. Just simple.                */ 
/************************************************************/ 



function themesidebox($title, $content) { 
        if (@file_exists($content)) { 
                $fp = fopen ($content, "r"); 
                $content = fread($fp, filesize($content)); 
                fclose ($fp); 
                $content = "?>$content<?"; 
                $content = eval($content); 
        } else if (eregi("^http", $content)) { 
                $fp = fopen ($content, "r"); 
                $content = fread($fp, 65535); 
                fclose ($fp); 
        } 
    $tmpl_file = "themes/DarkBlue/blocks.html"; 
    $thefile = implode("", file($tmpl_file)); 
    $thefile = addslashes($thefile); 
    $thefile = "\$r_file=\"".$thefile."\";"; 
    eval($thefile); 
    print $r_file; 
}
